Straight Talk in a Crooked World
It’s no secret that the human victims of the Taylor Bridge Fire near Cle Elum, Washington need help. What isn’t as well known is just how many animals need your assistance as well.

Read More Help Taylor Bridge Fire VictimsIt’s not often that so many people are moved by the death of someone whose real name escaped them until now. J.P. Patches, aka Chris Wedes when out of costume, was a Puget Sound area icon. His improv comedy television show ran from the late ’50s to the early ’80s, delighting generations of Washingtonians large […]
Read More R.I.P. J.P.P.For those who haven’t seen Cookie Monster’s spoof of Carly Rae Jepsen’s Call Me Maybe already, check out this ode to the wondrous cookie: The lyrics had me guffawing the first time I listened to it, including the references to selling his soul and freaking out. Hilarious, even if there’s speculation that Ja Rule lent […]
Read More Cookie Monster: Share It MaybeWhere do PSYOPS officers go when they retire? To design hold music, of course. Simply put, most hold music is a cheese grater on the human nervous system. There are few auditory experiences on this earth more jolting than Lloyd Christmas of Dumb and Dumber saying, “what’s the most annoying sound you’ve ever heard? AAAAaaAAAAnnnhhhaaaaAAAHHHHHHhhh…” […]
Read More Modern Pillory Torture: Hold MusicOh no. Not that question. Squirming in my chair, I was listening to the questions being asked of Phil, an anti-human trafficking activist with Frontline for Justice. It was Phil’s presentation, not mine, but my education and life experiences had me champing at the bit to back him on some of his answers. Who does […]
Read More Frontline for JusticeWhat a crazy day in American government! I was on pins and needles before SCOTUS announced its decision on Obamacare this morning. Initially I was dismayed at the ruling because I strongly disagree with things that reek of socialism when my people have fought and died for a democratic republic since the founding of this nation. Why, […]
Read More Oh Yeah!Thanks to everyone who’s read and commented on my nostalgic Bigfoot in Never Never Land post, https://wildninja.wordpress.com/2011/05/27/bigfoot-in-never-never-land/. One commenter brought an interesting photo to my attention that they took around 1980. They thought they simply captured the woodland elves in the photo.

Read More Hamadryads in NNL?This is a recipe I can’t take credit for but have modified over the years to fit a multiple-allergen diet. It is wonderful as a “fast food” item for the food allergic set. You need… –A pound or so of ground pork. If you’re in Washington, nothing even comes close to Pure Country organic ground […]
Read More Pork BurritosI see you’ve found my blog, a sampling of the shallow end of my meandering mind. Oh, and Tom– Yeah, brother, that goes both ways. I got your message.

Read More For Karen and *TOM*This falls squarely into the “don’t try this at home category.” A couple weekends ago I awoke with a feeling in my ears like someone had loosely clamped conch shells onto my noggin like headphones. “NOOOooooo,” I groaned, thinking I’d contracted an awful cold at a really bad time.
