Recently Mr. David Anderson submitted a thought provoking letter to The Suburban Times titled, Letter: What Can You Do For $10,000? Mr. Anderson uses his letter for another attack on our Clover Park School Board by suggesting they should stop educating themselves via out-of-town conferences. The letter strongly suggests, that with the money saved by […]
To Ponder
Westside Story – Vape, Cigarettes & Baseball Bats
Just today I was reading a good news article in The Suburban Times titled New Year: No vaping In public places. Thank you Tacoma – Pierce County Health Department for your excellent work and accomplishment. Your efforts will make our community a better, safer and more pleasant place to live. There is one more “public […]
Letter: Larry Saunders – Behind the Badge
On this January 9 National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day (L.E.A.D.), “we show our support for our nation’s approximately 780,000 police officers.” What it means to lead was poignantly demonstrated by first-City-of-Lakewood-Police-Chief Larry Saunders whose life of leadership was cut short too soon with his untimely and unexpected death just this past January 6th.
Westside Story – Junk Mail
How many of you out there are sick and tired of junk mail? I am. Everyone complains about junk mail, but no one does anything about this insidious problem. I have good Leap Year news for you. Many of you know I am a closet inventor having invented many high demand inventions such as the […]

Ten-thousand dollars is the estimated price to purchase a […]
Westside Story – Passing The Buck
I have a couple of serious life and death stories I am not going to share with you today. Those stories date back to c1972 and c1985. Both tragedies occurred in and around the intersection of 75th St SW & Bridgeport Way SW. Today’s upbeat story is titled, Passing The Buck. My story title is […]
Westside Story – No More Traffic Deaths
I love my title, No More Traffic Deaths. Actually, it is not the title I love. I love the result my title describes, no more traffic deaths. Safe driving is something I think about and work on every day.
Letter: The little black(ened) books
It would be doing them a favor to call them nondescript. Decrepit would be far more descriptive. “The only thing left in the dirt and trash were these two old books, covers ripped off, quite plain looking for all intents and purposes, little revealing what lay inside. I picked them up, blew off the dust […]
