Straight Talk in a Crooked World
Every Veterans Day, November 11th, at the Evergreen Washelli Veterans’ Memorial Cemetery in Seattle, we celebrate our veterans with a formal ceremony. You might remember last year’s photos.

The Sarvey Wildlife Center in Arlington, Washington desperately needs new roofs on some of their buildings. Their September newsletter said: RAISE THE ROOF Raftors for Raptors (or Raccoons, Rabbits, Rock Doves, Robins….
