Gallery

Posted on April 13, 2022 by Grace

Gallery

Posted on April 6, 2022 by Grace

Here’s a word for you: Analemma  I just learned the word today, but I’ve been fascinated by them for years. About 20 years ago, we bought a globe on a stand for our living room. I began checking it whenever … Continue reading →

Gallery

Posted on March 25, 2022 by Grace

The Joys of Spring Unless you have some sort of greenhouse, it’s hard to start plants from seed. I tried it when we lived in the country, but seeds are tricky. Things can go awry. And, as I learned the … Continue reading →

Nuclear War

Gallery

Posted on March 12, 2022 by Grace

I see three ways for this war to end. One, Ukraine will exhaust its forces and supply of weapons, but will not defeat Putin. At that point, it will concede the loss of some or all of its territory. Two, … Continue reading →

Ukraine Disrupts My Brain

Gallery

Posted on February 25, 2022 by Grace

Can you read books when war is breaking out? I’ve tried this week, but I just can’t. It was even hard to read lengthy articles about Ukraine that I want to read. I watched Biden’s Thursday press conference, and felt … Continue reading →

Posted on February 16, 2022 by Grace

Wither the Blog? OMG, so much happening in the world and I’m not writing about it! Ukraine. Jan. 6. School ruckuses. Trucker ruckuses. But Covid is done, or so it seems. Actually, I’ve been taking a writing class because I … Continue reading →

I Go Ballistic Over Trans Issues

Gallery

Posted on January 29, 2022 by Grace

Let’s Just Hibernate

Gallery

Posted on January 7, 2022 by Grace

I’m looking out my window at the grayest of days. Most of the Puget Sound lowlands are getting a lot of rain. The snow level is currently about 4000’ but it will drop to 500’ tonight. That means we’ll only … Continue reading →

Reflections on Risk

Gallery

Posted on December 28, 2021 by Grace

One of the books in my personal library that I’ve actually read is Getting Risk Right: Understanding the Science of Elusive Health Risks, by Geoffrey C. Kabbat. It wasn’t the book on risk that I needed at the time, but … Continue reading →

Waiting for Snow

Gallery

Posted on December 26, 2021 by Grace

I’m a bit past the age of waiting for Santa, but I’ll never be past the age of waiting for snow. As the weather forecast evolved over this past week, I kept checking each day (actually several times a day) … Continue reading →

Posted on December 22, 2021 by Grace

We are still eating at home. We used to eat out a lot, and I miss it. But I’m starting to rethink things a bit. I figure that after the Omicron spike I expect to see from holiday travel, it … Continue reading →

911 Concern Resolved!

Gallery

Posted on December 20, 2021 by Grace

Have you ever called the office of your city council member to complain? Did you get results? I’m not especially fond my CM, but I have to give his staff a compliment. I called with a concern and I got … Continue reading →
