I grew up in Texas, reared by midwestern farmers who didn't believe in anything you can't see, taste, smell, hear or touch (except God, of course). So imagine my reaction to last year's Lullaby Moon, a mystical and magical performance I happened to stumble upon at Gas Works Park. To set the scene: the south side of kite hill was covered with people sitting on blankets and nibbling on picnic fare. They faced the green space between the hill and the…
A very happy day-after-the-long-Labor-Day-weekend to you! Today pretty much feels like a Monday (groan), and time to start the workweek for most. But if you’re a commuter, I have two nifty apps made by app and flutter developers that I’d like to share with you that might take some of the sting out of your daily grind. WSDOT just released an app that gives users real-time information on traffic, and includes information about ferries, mountain passes, and travel times for all…
We're very happy to report that the two adorable 14 month Boxer pups, Fred and Gus, are home safe and sound. Steve wrote: FOUND!!…. well more like ransomed back to us. It is a long story and probably would entail an entire article but the facts are that my wife and kids are ecstatic to have our puppies back.

Did you encounter this disheartening sight outside the Library last week as you eagerly approached to pick up that really juicy read waiting for you on hold or to restock your supply of DVD's and CD's? Well, the wait is almost over as the Library furlough will end this Tuesday, September 7th.

Steve asked us to post the following: My two 14 week boxer puppies got out of the backyard this morning. I live on Second Avenue just up from the liquor store. One is brown with some white on his paws and face and the other is brown with black on his face. If you happen to see these two beauties, please e-mail Steve. We hope they find their way home soon, Steve.
Don't forget, if you're interested in getting some of the finest garden supplements available this side of the Serengeti, you need to send your postcard in to the Woodland Park Zoo today through September 19th. See our earlier Fall Fecal Fest post for more information.
