I was reading the sports page this morning and saw the odds posted for basketball games that would be played later in the day. This early in the season there are a lot of games being played by the haves versus the have-nots. There are also some games that look highly competitive. The amount of points that the favorites are expected to win by varies from 2–32 points. Some of the game will be blowouts; a few will be nail biters. It’s early in the season and if you feel sec...

If you have to wait until the last minute to make up your mind on who to vote for, then it makes me wonder if you waited for the last repeated TV commercial to influence your judgment. I have seen a bunch of commercials for candidates. After the ad is done I have no idea what they stand for or believe in. I do know that if you vote for their opponent the world will come to an end just before Happy Hour begins....
Don’t forget that even as Washington state Gov. Jay Inslee’s state of emergency ends after 975 days, there are still many people who were separated from their jobs because of a COVID-19 vaccine mandate the governor put into place. And that was done without a legislative body weighing in and offering information or debate. Families and individuals suffered, as did state services that ranged from ferry cancellations to increased stress on emergency responders. And even tho...

The loneliness, financial stress, and emotional strain lives on....
