The Pacific NW is famous for its rain in winter, but what many people don't see is it's a light, misty rain. What we got this week was enough to cause flooding.

Glock pistol used in deadly shooting at Old Dominion University was illegally sold to shooter, a convicted felon under probation, by a man federal ATF agents knew was selling guns illegally. He previously received a "warning letter" & had to write an apology.
It's time to enforce our gun laws
A bit oversimplified but a good rough:
She fought harder to end this injustice that most people ever do anything in their lives. She's a major hero to me.
Men who literally write laws describing how to rape babies and marry 9 year old girls, who they describe as worth less than goats, would like us to believe they care about a girl's school. They are using this tragedy as an excuse to attack Americans, which they'd do at every opportunity anyway.
A split-image composition featuring two historical photographs side by side, highlighting Maria Reiche and one of the famous Nazca Lines geoglyphs she dedicated her life to studying. Left side: A black-and-white portrait of Maria Reiche, the renowned German-born Peruvian mathematician and archaeologist (1903–1998), known as the "Lady of the Lines." She appears as a woman in her later years, with a serious and determined expression, wearing round wire-rimmed glasses, a light-colored headscarf, and a simple button-up shirt or work blouse with short sleeves. A camera or binoculars hangs from a strap around her neck, resting against her chest as she holds it in her hands. Right side: An aerial black-and-white view of the Nazca Lines' iconic hummingbird geoglyph etched into the arid Pampa Colorada desert near Nazca, Peru. The large biomorphic figure, created by removing the darker surface pebbles to reveal lighter soil beneath, depicts a stylized hummingbird in profile with an elongated beak pointing right, a rounded head, detailed eye, outstretched wings formed by parallel straight lines, a compact body, and a fanned tail. The lines are precise and continuous, measuring over 90 meters (about 300 feet) in length, surrounded by faint straight lines and trapezoids typical of the ancient Nazca culture's vast network of geoglyphs visible only from the air. This diptych juxtaposes the dedicated researcher with one of the enigmatic ancient artworks she meticulously mapped, preserved, and brought to global attention through decades of on-site work starting in the 1940s.
Maria Reiche (1903–1998) was a mathematician & archaeologist who dedicated >50 yrs of her life to the study & preservation of the Nazca Lines in Peru.
The "Lady of the Lines" is credited with bringing these ancient geoglyphs to international attention & ensuring their protection. #WomenInSTEM #WHM

Whenever you hear somebody posting something that begins with "white people" you can be sure it's going to be racist. Don't believe me? Try this theory out.
Starbucks unions were not justified because Starbucks was famous for paying its people generously, including benefits. This is a coffee shop job, requiring zero special skills. The unions overreached, and I don't blame Starbucks for shedding these stores.
Boomers are between 62-80, unless you count Gen Jones, which makes Boomers 71-80. And I do see differences between Gen Jones and Boomers, but let's face it, most Boomers are long retired. So stop blaming Boomers for business decisions you don't like. That's stupid. Odds are it's Gen X in charge.
Bombing that girl's school in Iran was evidently due to outdated intelligence. I'm sorry, but that level of incompetence is completely unacceptable. It sickens me.
Isn't this just...doing their jobs? There is a time and a place for open meetings, minutes, etc. but it seems to me 100% is overkill.
Forget "Iron Man" etc. This woman was the real deal.
I remember when they insisted cancer could never be caused by a virus, even as they admitted they don't really know.
Yes, there are way too many very mediocre books out there that don't improve at the ending.
Iranian leaders build pedophilia into their laws, so they've got no talking room at all.
Blaming boomers is absurd. Most boomers are retired and have been for years. This ironically makes you look out of touch, and certainly ignorant as hell.
Remember guys, you can’t afford a gas rig, or a coal mine, or a nuclear power station, but you can afford to put some cheap solar panels on your roof.
That’s why the fossil fuel industry has spent billions trying to kill renewable energy.
The dealer needs to keep you addicted.
I never listen to a word from this man, because he has lied too often.
Israel has the best intelligence in the world, at least in the Middle East. We'll see how long he lasts.
So, ISIS inspired is different than ISIS how?
And trying to bomb the new Muslim mayor of NYC is going to further the Islamic cause how?
I wish men would leave women the hell alone.
Mojtaba bets are on.
Cheap shot followed by an insult? You're the one who hasn't a clue. Be gone, fool.
Who could possibly have predicted that a company whose slogan is "cheat on everything" would cheat?

This feat is almost unimaginably hard.
WTF are you talking about?
This is not and never has been an intent of the US military, so whatever happened, don't rush to judgement.
