On Friday, July 24, 2015, a good news article appeared in The Suburban Times titled Legislative Session Successful For Lakewood. Under the sub-heading JBLM Corridor, I found miracle news which read as follows:
“A local connector road between Gravelly Lake Drive and Thorne Lane, essentially opening up the Tillicum neighborhood to the rest of Lakewood for the first time.”

Ben Gonter is not the pilot of a ship but has piloted a plane and now wants with the same firm hand required of both challenging and adventuresome pursuits to help steer the direction for Lakewood as candidate for City Council.

I recently invented a prototype high tech device called the Neg-O-Meter. The Neg-O-Meter operates much like a Geiger Counter only instead of measuring radiation, it measures human negativity.
I used a Homeland Security approved bungee cord to attach my Neg-O-Meter to a radio controlled drone which I flew over the entire city to determine where the strongest source of negative attitudes radiate from. I did not fly my drone over the kids playing soccer at Ft. Steilacoom Park, because it is dangerous and besides, kids playing soccer are not going to be negative.

Olivia B. Waxman, reporting for “Time, Inc.” writes this past July 2 that “Sealed Air, the original seller of bubble wrap, is rolling out a new version of bubble wrap with bubbles that do not pop.”

We love our history in Pierce County and there’s plenty to love . In fact, if the chair you’re sitting in is in Western Pierce County, there’s a good chance you’re right at one of the spots where Washington Territory began.

I will not deny that social media, such as Facebook, is all the rage and those who participate are hip. I must admit at age 72, apparently I am no longer hip. I choose to not participate in social media for a couple of reasons.

When it is 90 degrees, it is hot in Lakewood. Chris Rymer found a way to beat the heat when he and his daughters, along with the family dog, waded into Clover Creek. The crawdads, ducks, Blue Heron, muskrat and fish were all willing to share the creek with these new creek travelers on such a hot day.

My favorite sister, Margaret Mary Morgan, just retired. Not only has she always been my favorite sister, she is my only sister.
I should mention my sister grew up sleeping in a twin bed, which for many years left us wondering where her twin sister was.
