Vancouver vs. Seattle Smackdown!
You’ll recall I did something similar last year with Paris and Lyon. Today we’re comparing and contrasting closer to home. Demographics. Vancouver has more Asians than Seattle, and more Caucasians as well. Markets. Vancouver has Granville Island, Seattle has Pike Place. Both can be mobbed with tourists, especially on summer and holiday weekends. Restaurant scene. …

Thoughts for the Day
This July 4th, we need to recall some voices from the past to bring us back to our best selves as Americans. These quotes were originally published in The Nation in 1991. “The term ‘patriotism’ seems to be raised most often in the context of military action and at times has been used as a …

Canada Day
July 1 was Canada Day, the anniversary of when Canada, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia were merged into one dominion under the British Empire in 1867. As the sesquicentennial of this act, this year’s Canada Day festivities were huge. Vancouver’s celebration was second only to Ottawa’s in size. We drove up to Vancouver from Seattle …

Worst Case Scenario
Let’s say that some nightmare of a Republican “health care” bill manages to pass both houses of Congress and gets signed into law. Who will lose? Here are my predictions: The elderly won’t lose. They vote. The AARP will lobby every last member of Congress and state legislature to make sure that any Medicaid cuts …

Weekend Wanderings
Friday night Julian asked, “So what are the plans for the weekend?” I told him to look at the weekend section of the paper for inspiration. As it happened, the Greenwood Car Show was on Saturday. We’ve gone to this several times while we’ve lived here. In the interest of domestic tranquility, I acquiesced. Somehow …

Good Triumphs Over Greedheads
Last year I wrote that the Wayne Golf Course was bought by the land conservancy Forterra. The stipulation was that the city of Bothell would raise the money to buy it from Forterra. Over half the money has been raised through contributions and grants. It was time for the city to put some money on …

More Change, not for the Better
We went downtown on our usual caffeine run today. It’s high tourist season here. Pike Place Market was slammed. As we approached Julian’s coffee shop of choice, Caffe d’Arte, I noticed it looked strangely vacant. We read the sign on the door: Last day of business at the location on 2nd Ave and Stewart Street …

Meet the New Ride
Meet Flash, my “new” bike. As with Harvietta, this was a secondhand bike. This one was handed over by Julian. He decided he didn’t need to put his shoulder at risk by riding a bike. It’s much lighter than the old bike. It’s also silver. One guy passed me on the trail a couple of …

This Year’s Garden
So to speak. Our “garden” consists of the south-facing upper deck and a few square feet of semi-shade near the front door walkway. We also have some planters in deep shade on said walkway. Last week I emptied the soil out so Julian could paint them. Eventually I may try to put some ferns in …
