Hi all. I've been working on my resume now that I'm settled into my new digs. There are many versions circulating between faxes and e-mails. Thanks all for the help. The new Washington State plates are on the car. I now have a Washington State driver's license and I'm insured. And now to pay for it all. There are definitely some advantages to living along the margins of our economy and society. It is of much lower impact energy-wise to live meagerly without a place of one's own and with little possessions. Now I'm living with more comfort and ease but I will spend all my energy (I'm afraid) to keep this up. Such the price to enter the world. I'm now another job seeker in the greater Seattle area. Anybody out there with help? I used to be a cook but I no longer want to do that. Y'all have a great day!

Nurses rule!, right Trace?

This isn't quite the way I would go about criticizing the left, mostly because I don't feel we have all the facts, but here, John Leo points out the alienation and misstep with which the left continues to stride.

Tracy and I took a drive out to Leavenworth, Washington the other day. It is an alpine village; odd yet nice. I took this pic in Index, WA. The apartment is essentially finished, ie, moved into. I now live in the land of Boeing layoffs and Microsoft.

I went to the Northwest Bookfest and was able to hear a little bit of Daniel Ellsberg's presentation. He compared our ill fated entry into our Viet Nam war (Tonkin Gulf) with our upcoming war with Iraq. The military's pistol trigger is cocked and the present administration is looking anywhere for a provocation. Don't let the war pigs fool you. I also got a subscription to the Seattle Times, and received as a bonus an Ichiro bobblehead from Upper Deck collectibles..

What would Woody Harrelson do?

Quite an anti-war speech. Nice job.

Can you believe the gall of this joker? No sooner than he takes the Presidency, the economy tanks, the budget surplus turns into a deficit and he awards the wealthiest percent of the population with a tax break. Now he wants to blame the Democrats for the "faltering economy". What a piece of work.
Still no rain out here out here and the east coast gets a nor'easter.

Quite a family.

I just stumbled on this at this guy's site. Good writing. Tracy and I went to Ikea today and I bought some furniture for my new apartment. I got a dresser like this one but with more drawers. The "chest of drawers" is found on page 237 of the virtual catalog under "bed and bath" and then "chest of drawers". It really looks nice and it took a while to assemble. I also bought a night stand, lamp and light. New stuff!; who would have thought? Thanks Tracy.

It was chilly leading up to Steven's Pass today. Abby, here is the picture looking over the South Fork of the Skykomish River in Skykomish, Washington. I can't upload the little movie I took up there.

Don't miss the singing kittens.

I bought a weather station from Target today. It is a GE Wireless Digital Weather Station. This thing is pretty cool. I don't have to go outside first and get cold. I'll stay here though rather than Florida.

Funny as hell. Look at this joke.

Tracy, Joe and I went to Salmon Days in Issaquah this past weekend. Joe was loving it because he is part fish. I can compare it to Sunfest in West Palm but without the sun and stiff entry fee. Sunfest was free once too. There were a lot of local art and crafts there but the theme was salmon and steelhead. Some of the returning salmon were 5 years old and in the 30+lb range.

Lee comes back Tuesday and I lose this fantastic house/cat sitting duty. Here is Captain and Sylvester. This is the only cat I have seen who looks like the cartoon Sylvester.

Here are some of the pictures I tried to post last week or so. A couple of Dave Matthews, A town called Concrete and a return visit to Bob and his rifle.

These people say that "Bush planned Iraq 'regime change' before becoming President". Here is the Irish Sunday Herald story.

Do you have questions about long distance and wireless providers?
