All it took was one enterprising East Coast scientist to crush our US oil dependency. He thought outside the box or I should say, outside the oil barrel.
I have included some actual scientific video leaked from the Delaware Test Site. Roll the film and you will get a solid idea what our work commute will look like in the future.

I have attached a photo of a sign I spotted recently while visiting the Lakewood Towne Center Starbucks located at 6040 Main St SW, Lakewood, Washington 98499 T: 253-588-9404. The photo provides for an exciting invitation and opportunity.

Nope! This owl does not live in a zoo. He lives in the Leech Creek Valley in Lakewood, Washington. A friend of mine, John Anderson, who I worked with back in the 1970s, took this hard to get photo. This is a case of peaceful co-existence with nature in Lakewood. It is also a case of John scrambling quickly enough to get his camera before the owl took off. After all the owl does not give a hoot.

In Lakewood, we often live in peaceful co-existence with nature. My photo shows one of our majestic neighbors. So far, we are getting along together just fine, but then again, he has not eaten our garden.

Did you see the recent TNT article announcing the City of Lakewood’s intention to consider adding a $20.00 tax to our vehicle license tab renewals?

Back in 1964 I had a college roommate, Melvin R. Hibbard, Jr., who is still one of my dearest friends. I am the only guy on the planet who persists in calling him Melvin R. Van Iderstine, Jr. Because I love words, I continue to enjoy calling him that even though I fully realize it is not even his real last name.

Survey results are in. You said no. Doesn’t matter.
When then-Lakewood City Manager Andrew Neiditz (TNT, November 24, 2012) proposed a tax increase on Lakewood’s residents – specifically for electricity and gas utilities that would have generated an additional $350,000 annually to help balance the 2013-14 budget – Lakewood’s Mayor at the time, Doug Richardson, said “people have to heat their homes and cook their food. Given the current economic times, we didn’t think it was wise to increase that tax.”

“Must I be carried to the skies on flowery beds of ease,
While others fought to win the prize and sailed through bloody seas?”
My father served in Italy during World War II in the 10th Mountain Division. He never surrendered. Never left a man behind. Never compromised his principles.

For “jobs too dirty, dangerous or dull,” robots excel.
There are three vacancies – one-third of the nine – on the City of Lakewood’s Public Safety Advisory Committee (PSAC).
The job description requires obtaining “citizen input and advising the City Council in developing and monitoring public safety policies” – like shopping carts and dunk tanks.
