If there's a "Pineapple Express " headed for the PNW

Then I wawanna it to bring some macadamia nuts and Kona coffee with it, too!

Looks like we are headed for another soaker and avalanche danger too.

Had to snicker at Kim and Kanye news

Who woulda seen that coming???? Lol!

(CNN reporting Kim files for the big D)

I don’t follow that “family drama” at all but Kanye is a fucking train wreck and in the news so much a person like me that doesn’t even watch tv much even knows their dirty laundry.

32 year old woman shot and killed over Loren Culp political sign

This takes the cake of political sign stories and happened 3 months AFTER the election!




Snip>
Skagit County WA

Undersheriff Chad Clark told KING 5 News that getting a call over a political sign is not unusual.

“They come and go every election year. We get those kinds of calls, but not to this extent, to where there’s gunfire and somebody’s dead,” he said.He said it happened just before 5:30 p.m. on Saturday night.

The man who owns a home on the 22000 block of Mount Vernon Big Lake Road saw something unusual, what looked like somebody messing with his mailboxes, Clark said.

“The 58-year-old male who owns the residence goes out there to find out what’s going on, got into a confrontation with the driver of the suspect vehicle – ended up being a fight over the political sign that the male in the vehicle was trying to steal,” Clark said.

According to court documents, the men both told deputies they got into a physical fight. The homeowner said he was chased back to the house, but the driver said he punched the homeowner through the open window of their truck.
Cohee was with the driver and got out of the car. Clark said the homeowner’s wife came out with a gun.

”The 55-year-old wife came out of the house, fired several rounds and the female that got out of the truck, out of that vehicle that was there, was struck and killed," Clark said.

Ballard Seattle backyard bars

The snow flies and the Ballardites walk to the bar! Me too!

I LOVE LOVE ❤️ this place !

I am from MO. Seen a lot of snow in my half century.
My friends here don’t see much snow. Partying in the back yard under shelter (completely open) and taking turns at the woodfired barrel. People just keep showing up. Can’t drive but the neighborhood is ALIVE!

This is community. Love it 😍

Was gonna put on a drunk after this morning’s proceedings but hear there is still a chance.

A lot like a football game!

It ain’t over till it’s over! Go dems!

The Capitol is 2.3 miles away from the White House

Why was the *President of the United States of America at the White House while the Capitol was being assaulted?

Why didn’t the secret service move the *President from the WH or put him in a bunker there. I have not heard he was “protected” from the insurrection happening 2.3 miles away.

I would like an explanation but won’t hold my breath.

I think this is relevant to the Mike Pence topic. I know that the VP and Speaker were in eminent danger. But the *President was only 2.3 miles away and was not evacuated to my knowledge.

*technically the President. But not my President. Ever!

I didn't think I needed to write my D Senator who I knew would vote to convict

But, Senator Patty Murray spoke up last night about her time during the Capitol Insurrection.

I did write her and voiced my concern for her during that time. I also asked her to work tirelessly to change minds.
It is worth contacting your Dem Senator to support them and ask them to do more to change minds of the “aquitters”.

My letter:

Hello Senator Murray,

I wanted to say how awful I feel about your hours hiding from tRumps goons in your office. Americans were watching it all live but you lived it and it must have been terrible. Thank goodness your husband was by your side. I would have wanted that for myself had I been in your shoes.

Speak up more please because it will help. Plead with your stubborn colleagues who are voting to aquitt. Their minds need to be changed. Senators understand one another. Please do ALL YOU CAN TO CHANGE HEARTS AND MINDS!
You have the ability to talk to them and I ask you to tirelessly use your voice to change minds.

Thank you for your time!
