If you don’t think about it for too long – any more than the 152 seconds it takes to read it – the April 15 editorial by the Tacoma News Tribune Editorial Board (TNTEB) might initially appear somewhat reasonable. “Legalize home delivery of marijuana.” After all, think of the “frail, sick or immunocompromised” the TNTEB […]
The English Game – Football/Soccer – Review
Not all of our dozen grandchildren played soccer, but we rooted for those who did and enjoyed every minute. When their parents were young, all three played soccer. I remember dropping one off and driving to the next field to drop off the second one, and then repeating that for the third, only to circle […]
Across the Fence: A Lake in the Middle of Nowhere
Cabin Fever causes dreams of escape and about traveling despite the current order to stay in place. But we can always travel in our minds. And today I’d like to take you to a place that you have probably heard of but maybe have never been to: an artificial lake in the middle of the […]
Pandemic Heroes Around the World and in Our Own Backyard
Who would have guessed just a few months ago the face of beauty today might wear a mask? In the middle of a world of pandemic proportions, heroes are stepping forward: In Poland, they are keeping hard-pressed medics supplied with coffee and lunch.

Letter: Honesty, still the best policy

I guess there are always people who want to limit decision making as they sit in judgment. Today it seems strange that […]
Roll-Off Dumpsters Make Clean Up and Haul Off Easier
Dumpsters aren’t the most beautiful things in the world. They come in different shapes and sizes. The most useful ones are the roll-off dumpsters. A roll-off dumpster is a large bin that rolls off a delivery truck to a home, a construction site, or any other location where waste or junk need to be disposed. […]
Westside Story – Did You Vote For Joe?
Did you vote for Joe in the last presidential primary? I am not talking about Joe Biden for president. Joe Biden wants to destroy our Second Amendment rights leading to the confiscation of our guns and the right of Americans to defend themselves. I am talking about Joe Boyle for president. Joe Boyle is not […]
Letter: Birds adapt, humans not so much: The eve of destruction
“Herons using bread or insects as bait to catch fish, carrion crows dropping nuts onto roads so passing cars crack open their shells and great cormorants timing their fishing periods in New Zealand to take advantage of the strong currents generated by commercial ferries,” are examples, Jack Guy writes for CNN this April 7, of […]
