Gallery

Posted on April 6, 2021 by Grace

I had not planned to watch much of the trial of Derek Chauvin (accused of murdering George Floyd in May of 2020). Yet I watched a section yesterday of the prosecution questioning the police chief and training officers, so I … Continue reading →

Information Collides in My Head

Gallery

Posted on March 30, 2021 by Grace

Posted on March 19, 2021 by Grace

I’ve seen the riches, and they are many. An errand took us to downtown Bellevue today. Awhile back another errand took me to an area east of downtown, but today we hit the center of the wealthy part of town. … Continue reading →

Energy, Energy, Where Have You Gone?

Gallery

Posted on March 9, 2021 by Grace

Good grief, it’s March! Daffodils are blooming, rose bushes are pumping out new shoots, temperatures are shooting up into the 50s on good days. And what am I doing? Very little.  I got my tax documents together and sent them … Continue reading →

Talking to “Others”

Gallery

Posted on February 16, 2021 by Grace

Today I spoke to a local unit of the Seattle King County League of Women Voters about my recent discussions with a new (to me) group of people who do not share my voting tendencies. As you may recall, I … Continue reading →

Independence Feels Good

Gallery

Posted on February 9, 2021 by Grace

I’ve been talking with a new group of people recently. Many of them consider themselves politically independent. Some of them voted for Trump. Some, reluctantly. Some of them voted for Biden. Some, reluctantly. None of them are crazy. They’re diverse … Continue reading →

Tinkering with the First Amendment

Gallery

Posted on January 27, 2021 by Grace

How Much Force is Too Much Force?

Gallery

Posted on January 15, 2021 by Grace

People who believe that police used excessive force in the summer of 2020 have crafted bills to limit how police can respond to crowds of protesters. I’m guessing that at least one of those bills, HB 1054 now moving through … Continue reading →

Should I #WalkAway?

Gallery

Posted on January 12, 2021 by Grace

A week ago, I was nervous. It turns out that I was justifiably nervous. Perhaps I was more nervous than some of my friends because I have a Twitter account. I’d also recently joined an email list with people that … Continue reading →
