Straight Talk in a Crooked World
“Hmm,” I said as I read a fellow blogger’s humble gratitude for an “award” they had just received.

It also required them to nominate a certain number of other bloggers for the “award” and […]
Read More Blog “Awards”In honor of Spokane’s Bigfoot sighting, http://www.inlander.com/spokane/blog-3342-video-spokane-river-bigfoot-sighting_.html, I’m putting this June 9, 2010 post on the front page for a bit. It details my own experience with Bigfoot. It’s possible that the Bigfoots… Bigfeet? Sasquatches– in Eastern Washington are more excited about this than we are.

Have your towels readily available and display them proudly! http://www.towelday.org/ A towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitch hiker can have.

Read More Kitchen DancingLike many bloggers, I visit other blogs to read various viewpoints of topics I’m interested in. It never ceases to amaze me just how many people who disagree with a majority viewpoint go off on others without any consideration for individuality. I frequently see, and hear, people attacking others as a group from emotion rather […]
Read More Bashing vs. ReasoningIn the 1990s, Seattle became known for coffee, grunge, and political correctness. Thankfully one local comedy troupe had the wherewithal to poke fun at every niche of Seattle-area society anyway– no one was spared. Saturday nights at 11:30, Almost Live created memorable characters like the High Five’n White Guys, Jet Guy, and The Survivalist. They […]
