    The grass in my daughters' area browns up during the summer, but turns green again when the rains start in the fall. As far as I know, University of Washington and Fred Hutchinson have pretty good docs. I can't speak for Oregon though. I have visited Oregon Health Sciences, but I do not know...

    Has Trump outsmarted everybody?

    I now saw that he declared Antifa to be a Foreign Terrorist Organization since it has been shown to have ties to foreign organizations. Many of the "leaders" (who allegedly don't exist) have fled the U.S. since demonstrators in Portland were given 8-year Federal felony sentences and had their...

    Scams Getting Sophisticated: Watch Out!

    Unfortunately, AI can also generate someone's voice, so putting someone on the phone might not actually be them. One way to catch this is to have a code word or phrase that NO ONE ELSE knows.

    My daughters who live in coastal Washington opine that winter there is actually darker than here because we have snow, and they generally do not. They have cold, wet miserable weather. When we lived in Georgia, the winters were not much different than the summers here with an occasional cold...

    Has Trump outsmarted everybody?

    Now I see that Trump is going to fund the WIC program from tariff income, bypassing the shutdown. Now the Democrats have to come out against funding WIC for low-income people. Another apparently brilliant move by Trump.

    Gaza latest: Trump tells Israel 'stop bombing Gaza' as Hamas agrees to release hostages

    It appears that the Trump Administration has negotiated what may be a long-lasting peace in the Middle East. Hostages may be all released as early as next Monday. I guess Hitler negotiated a lot of peace treaties and hostage releases, but I don't remember studying them in history.

    Thunderstorms

    I like thunderstorms, especially in the distance. When I served in the U.S. Navy, one of the treats was to watch thunderstorms in the distance over the open water. I also recall a summer when I was a camp counselor and we slept in tents all summer. The lightening was like a fireworks show.

    Amazon Prime

    If you don't want to work for Amazon, don't do so. No one is conscripting for Amazon. It does seem to bring a lot of jobs into some areas however.

    Trump has invoked the Insurrection Act

    Ironically, if abortion hadn't been legal since the 1970s, the Democrat party would have many more voters on thee rolls now. I have seen statistics that stated that about 89% of abortions are in Democratic families. I have no idea if that is accurate, but I am sure the Conservatives have far...

    What's your Weather like today

    Windy and cloudy with temps in the mid-40s F. We have another storm coming ashore tomorrow and the remnants of a typhoon scheduled for the weekend. We often have strong storms at this time of year, but this extra-tropical typhoon is predicted to be the strongest in at least 6 years. If we are...

    Trump has invoked the Insurrection Act

    Trump has invoked the Insurrection Act as a result of the Chicago mayor declaring "ICE-free zones" and calling for a replay of the Civil War. Declaring ICE-free zones is essentially announcing that parts of Chicago have seceded from the Union since no state or municipal officer can prevent the...

    What video are you watching on YouTube?

    What chemical is in this? MEK? It doesn't remove super glue, so it isn't acetone, but it is extremely flammable so it may hazardous.

    Political Songs

    I just found out that 9-11 has a place in American history other than the Twin Towers. The British attempted to invaded the U.S. at Baltimore on September 11, 1814. That was the battle that gave us the Star Spangled Banner.

    Homeless Tolerance - A Vicious Cycle?

    I may have posted this before. When last traveling by train from San Diego to Kansas City, we left the home to thousands or tens of thousand of homeless, but a person ( I think he was a commercial pilot retired) told us that are there are no homeless in Kansas City, Missouri. When I asked him...

    What are you doing right now?

    Yesterday was a "throwback day" to when we did a lot of farm chores. I have wanted to move an orchard fence for some time, and we did that yesterday. It took most of the day but we got it done. We got the soaker hoses picked up and the irrigation pipes got blown out so they won't freeze as...

    Hegseth and Trump reveal why the big meeting is being held

    Most of what he says in the video is true. If Europe can't find a way to get the U.S. involved, they will be annihilated by Russia. If they do find a way, we will be destroyed with them, as China will quickly attack our resources in and around the Pacific. The U.S. is no longer capable of...

    I just saw the AI-generated meme

    I just saw the AI-generated meme that is causing the Democrats so much heartache. Memes now seem to the political cartoons of past ages. https://nypost.com/2025/09/30/us-news/trump-mocks-chuck-schumer-and-hakeem-jeffries-in-ai-generated-video-after-government-shutdown-meeting/

    That's the Way It Crumbles, Cookie-Wise

    The new "advised level" of vitamin D is between 50 and 100 if the provider orders the proper assay. I know many who exceed the 100 level without harm. The effectiveness of vitamin D during Covid was the motivator behind all this.

    What is going on in the UK!

    Good for Indiana! It has never been just a border state issue, but under Biden, illegals were deliberately spread at Federal government expense to locations across the country, many into Red states.

    The Democrats have shut the government down

    The trouble with all green energy (except nuclear) is that it is often dependent on environment and it generation cannot be raised and lower as demand changes. It works fine as a supplement, especially for individual and small systems, but large wind, solar and tidal have trouble. Hydro can be...
