This service is worth absolutely nothing. It takes forever to log on and other times...it doesn't work at all. I can't even log on to make a comment! We PAY for this crap?!

I can't log on at all...all day! I can't get in contact with onebox.

Trump attacks Germany

I just had to get this out...Today, Trump lashed out at Germany for it's energy ties to Russia and it seemed so odd for an American President to accuse a NATO ally of cozying up to Russia...Not odd at all and exactly what should be expected. It's called deflection. The plan is to divert attention from Trump's own Russia problems to someone else. Deflection. It's just another con to save his ass.

With eyes on midterms, Trump embraces immigration fight

Say it isn't so! Is Trump planning a last-second reprieve for all those families he's had separated at the border so he can claim how wonderful he is? Is he really using the lives of innocent people to advance his political agenda? Does he really not care about the damage he's doing to so many men, women and children that he's holding hostage? Say it isn't so! (But I know it is. He really IS that evil.)

...Or maybe he'll continue the suffering in order to have his wall built...on the backs of broken families and permanently scarred children. Indeed, he is that evil. Trump is personally responsible for all the pain. If he were human at all just a simple phone call would do it...but he's less than human. In any case, Heaven help us all...and deliver us from the evil that is Trump.

Maybe this will be remembered as the infamous, "Hostages for Wall" deal.

Raging River Cafe

Oh the price of a simple breakfast! For the first time in years, I went out for breakfast...to the little, old eatery in Fall City. After waiting a half hour for the place to open, I had 2 eggs with sausage and hash-browns, tomato juice and coffee. The total for this simple meal for one was $17.79. That's just plain too much! (Uh...there's also that 20% tip which I added to the $17.79 so it ended up costing just over $20 for...what?) I tried adding a review on Yelp to make potential customers aware of the high price of breakfast at the Raging River but Yelp wanted me to sign in...and agree to their terms. I decided not to risk subjecting myself to whatever those terms might be. Instead, I'm just posting my review here:

"I just had breakfast there. The food and service was fine but...$17.79 for 2 eggs and a tomato juice eating there by myself!? That's just a bit out of line and I won't be returning."

So...there it is.

Maybe that's why fast food places like McDonalds stay in business... or maybe that's why I seldom buy my meals out.

Late Swallows

Just in case anyone's wondering, I decided to mention when the swallows returned to my neighborhood this year (2018). They first arrived on March 29! In recent years they's been appearing earlier and earlier, even as early as March 10....but this year made a grand reversal. Alas, spring is equally late coming.

Kate's Teeth

Uh...not that it really matters but...it looks like whatever was done to Kate Middleton's teeth gave her an extra set of incisors. Have a look. On each side of her two front teeth there are two incisors before the canines start. There should only be one incisor between the front teeth and canines. I think it's odd and certainly unnatural.

Trump's War

It seems that Trump is desperate and foolish enough to start a war with North Korea to deflect from his political assailants. Didn't he already ask more than once that since we have so many nuclear weapons, why don't we use them? War seems to be the natural thing for Republicans.

As soon as Bush was elected, I predicted we'd have a war...and we had two. Neither one was winnable. There was nothing to be won in either but there was certainly an opportunity to put more money in the hands of the rich and an additional chance to tighten his grip on a free society and an ignorant populace.

Now we have Trump...and another war looming on the horizon. With a new war in North Korea, Trump can declare martial law and rid himself of, and silence, all his detractors in one push of the button. Or maybe, if that war doesn't materialize, he might settle for Iran...or somewhere else. He's just itching to start something before he's fully exposed and outed for being...Trump, eh?

Of course, Trump has already declared war on opioids. If he really wants to do something about that, why not make some use of the military efforts in Afghanistan? Why not take out the poppy fields and deprive the Taliban of their source of income? Afghanistan produces more opium than all other countries combined. Why not combine the foolish war effort in Afghanistan with a real war against opioids? Raze all the poppy fields. Find some meaning in an otherwise meaningless war. Then negotiate with the Chinese for a solution to rampant synthetic opioid production.

Incidentally, the war Trump did declare on opiates last year, via an executive order, went only so far as to commission a report. There was absolutely no funding made available to do anything at all, regardless of anything contained in such report. As a result, nothing has been done. No war on opiates. Only a report. What a waste! However, Trump has falsely grabbed the spotlight for his demonstration of concern for the public welfare in that regard.
