The New Computer Begets
My current laptop is getting long in the electrons, so I purchased a new one. As we’re preparing to migrate items to the new laptop, a few things have come up. Since a single purchase often snowballs into multiple outlays of cash (as in the Homeowner Begets), here we have the New Computer Begets. My …

Unless You’re Poor
There’s a streak of mean in the other Washington and in many state capitals against people who are at the low end of the income scale. Consider the following: Unless you’re poor, medical insurance often will be combined with dental insurance. Unless you’re poor, the items in your grocery cart won’t engender much scrutiny. Unless …

Fun with Home Repairs
No, Julian did not put his fist through the wall after reading another article on the fracas in the other Washington. I noticed a wet spot on the floor below this. The repair contractor came out and diagnosed a leak in the flashing on the upper deck. Now we need to wait until we get …

Ta-Ta, Tesla
Elon Musk sent a Tesla roadster into space yesterday. Today Tesla sent me an email revising the delivery date on the Model 3, for which I’d plunked down a $1000 deposit. It’s been moved back to early 2019. This is too long for me to wait, since I have to sell Die Frau (the Jetta …

Another Super Bowl Party
We hosted another Super Bowl party at Casa Sammamish this weekend. It was a smaller group than usual, but we still made a boatload of food. In honor of the teams, we made Boston-style baked beans and Philadelphia cheese steaks. We also made our time-honored Miami-style chicken wings. Our friends brought chips, salsa, salad, wine, …

Mid-Winter on the Sammamish
You would think that the rain and cool weather would keep folks off the river. You would think wrong. Despite the area reverting to rainforest, someone’s always on the river. This morning I saw two stand-up paddle boarders and a kayak in a short time. There’s a rowing school that routinely has students paddling up …

Cell Phone Sabbaths
As I’ve mentioned in an earlier post, 24/7 access is overrated. I usually leave my cell phone at home on the weekends. I don’t need it. It also means it won’t ring at inopportune times, like during the silent prayer/meditation time at church. Not that I’d actually get a call, since I’m picky about who …

Rest in Peace, Rosie
The New York Times is reporting that the woman who was the model for the iconic World War II Rosie the Riveter poster has died in Longview, Washington at the age of 96. Her name was Naomi Parker Fraley. Click on her name to read the obituary, and the controversy over her identity. The Rosie …

Moss Never Sleeps, 2018 Edition
The weather geeks have said that the last four years have been the rainiest on record hereabouts. As I’m typing, it’s raining again. All of this rain has had predictable results. The trees on the other side of the river from our condo are a brilliant green. They haven’t leafed out yet, it’s the moss. …
