Whether it’s waiting for the results of a public disclosure request or thinking an emergency room is for emergencies, best take a seat. It’s gonna be awhile. Although, in the latter case, I’ve an idea to cut to the front of the line that doesn’t involve blood. Read on.
To Ponder
Westside Story – Two Writers
On December 30, 2016, Publisher Ben Sclair posted my Westside Story – Saint or Sinner? in The Suburban Times. The same day, I received a copy of Ms. Dana Holt’s article from the AAUW online Tacoma Branch monthly newsletter. AAUW is an acronym for an organization of women called American Association of University Women. The […]
Westside Story – Saint or Sinner?
A sign of the times. Look at this sign and you see the word Saint.
2016 – The Year in… Woo…

Letter: Deck the halls with boughs of folly
From the encroachment that accompanies complex, time-consuming, convoluted and cumbersome rental inspection programs, to government-grant research papers concluding that five-to-eight-year-olds prefer clean food as opposed to allegedly sneezed-on food, is it any wonder American’s trust in government to “do the right thing” has hit historic lows?
