THIS JUST IN…..from this mornings Seattle PI….. "Suit is filed to protect giant Palouse worm"

Amazing! As an old worm rancher, until I lost the ranch in a card game, I was surprised to find out we have a giant worm right here in Eastern Wa. I’ve known about the really giant worms in Africa, 6 footers, but a giant worm right here in my own back yard, wow! Seems […]

It’s Fair Time…..SO WHAT

Maybe I’m becoming an old curmudgeon but I am already tired of hearing about the fair. I don’t care about any of the rides, all the exhibits in the buildings are about selling overpriced trinkets. The concerts are only places for the PWT kids to gather and try to buy beer and show off, Seems […]

MR’s De-Ed Points Update……

Since Anon has officially turned the quiz over to me, I guess I’ll go to a more traditional points system: One (1) Point = One (1) Point…..

Beatles Radio

As most of you know, my favorite radio station is Aural Moon, a progressive rock internet radio station. Well I’ve found another very cool station: Beatles Radio. This station plays songs by The Beatles, any member of The Beatles, related people (like Billy Preston), and covers of all those songs. Recently they’ve been playing stuff […]
