America: Land Of The Free
Since I've had requests to write more about the C & P coffee company, I will. Here I am on our laptop, which is new to me, and I am having trouble getting used to the keys. Bhaskar got a laugh out of the term "fat-fingering" the keys, which I picked up from a friend a long time ago, but I think it's...

Has Anyone Ever Told You Not To Bother Your Pretty Head About News?
I just got the virtual equivalent, of "Stick to blogging about the coffee shop, because we have opposing views on religion and politics" from TAPS on her post about the legal system. I am sorry, TAPS, but I really thought more highly of you than that. You disappoint me. This is a public forum and...

Disaster Averted But It's Good To Be Prepared
I know a disaster relief consultant, who's a regular at the coffee shop where I go. I often see Ned in there, working away on his laptop. He's a self-employed disaster relief consultant to businesses, although his website, www.limittheimpact.com does have practical suggestions for private...

Snowless In Seattle
Well, the snow has gone away completely. It's sort of anti-climactic after all the preparations and worry if we should be getting more supplies in case of being stuck on the road. The promised cold front has turned to freezing rain, so that now we have the wettest November on record, even for...

Doot, Doot, Doot..Lookin' Out My Back Door
Who remembers that song? "Tambourines and elephants playin in the band? Doot..doot..doot lookin' out my back door"? It just popped into my head as I was surveying the scene off my balcony. My feet are frozen, cause I went outside barefoot and stepped onto the melted snow and ice. I tiptoed over to...

So, If It Snows Tonight, Maybe We'll Just Stay In
The promised snowstorm has not started yet, perhaps during the night. God willing and the creek don't rise, maybe Professor Peabody will mke it home first. Monday night was a nightmare, three hours I waited for him to get home, the Seahawks played Green Bay at home, and it was a zoo on the freeway...

Preparing For Snow
I just got Professor Peabody off to work. It took a little extra doing this morning, the truck was frozen up, so it needed to be de-iced and we did not have a scraper, so I took a couple pans of water downstairs and threw them on the windows, which helped. The driver's door lock was still iced up,...

More Snow Headed For Seattle
I just listened to the KIRO-TV weather report (on the web). Andy Wappler's weather forecast is the snow is coming back. We got a break in greater Seattle yesterday, with only sun and the existing snow melting. According to Wappler's forecast though, it'll start up again tonight and snow even more...

The Sun And Snow
It is so cold outside, during the walk one block home from the C & P, I had to cover my nose and mouth, like a Muslim woman. I was thinking of that when I passed Wassim's store. I don't think he noticed, but I was amused at the thought, the sight might look familiar. I'm not even sure exactly which...

No Counting Chickens Before They're Hatched, Yet But....
I may have a blog in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. I sent writing samples last month, but never heard back from the editor. I had thought that maybe there was a problem, not with my writing, but because he asked for a residence history for the last five years. Trust me, I do not look good on...
