I service commercial coffee equip, love humor, make friends easily, and believe in good not evil. Star Trek, Star Wars, Robin Williams and Weird Al are some of my favs. I dabble in A/V & streams on the weekend.

Was that up at the Japanese Garden? We visited this weekend from Vancouver WA and were surprised by the fall colors that were still lingering.

@southwest.wsdot.wa.gov I saw this notice pop up on my WSDOT and I'm slightly confused. ๐Ÿค”

Should it be on SR 500 vs SR 506 where Lacamas Lake is?

Or is it for the work being done on SR 506 in Vader vs Lacamas Lake?

My son just told me a friend of his finished basic training and now starts tech school for installing ejection seats.

I told him, " That sounds like an uplifting career." ๐Ÿ˜

He said I need to leave the room. Now. ๐Ÿคฃ

Received this at church today. I'll be wearing it tomorrow for Transgender Day of Visibility.

You are safe with me today, tomorrow and always.

I grew up there.

Some say you are smelling Sunnysideโ€™s โ€œDerriereโ€

Others say itโ€™s the smell of money.

I guess it all depends on what side of the city limits you are on.

'God walks with us through the ashes.' A poignant Ash Wednesday after LA wildfires On Ash Wednesday, Christians hear the words "Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return." Those words ring differently for many whose churches and homes burned in the Los Angeles fires.

This hits close to home.

We had to rebuild our church almost 10 years ago after being targeted by an arsonist.

It's a long process. I hope they feel the love and support of their communities.

How/why is it that the Oregon Coast got more snow than Clark County, Washington has so far this winter?! Not fair! ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

Iโ€™ll admit to having only contacted my elected officials no more than twice in my 50 years.

This will change now.

Letโ€™s light up their phone lines like itโ€™s a Jerry Lewis telethon!

โ€œWeโ€™ve seen this movie before,โ€ Mrs Pykeman said this morning after we talked about some of the headlines.

โ€œWhich one?โ€ I asked.

She fed me a couple of hints and the I got it! ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Using QTH grid (aka Maidenhead) can be very useful for weather reports online.

A couple years ago someone created a iOS Shortcut to your grid location to the clipboard.
