Tearing up the roads to dictatorship 

Yes, the Orange Man in the White House must be impeached, removed, and jailed. He must be put on trial for treason and for his litany of high crimes, misdemeanors, and blatant corruption. Ditto for JD Vance, the man currently abusing the office of the Vice-Presidency. Those Trump placed in positions of authority from the Cabinet down must also be impeached and removed from office. Elon Musk must be arrested and put on trial for the damage he has done to so many individuals and to our institutions. It will take time to repair the destruction these people have inflicted upon our nation.

Those in the courts and in Congress who aided and abetted this damage must be raked over the coals in every legal way possible for their horrid incompetence, cowardice, stupidity, and abuse of their office. Many in Congress have forfeited their authority by their flagrant and imbecilic cowardice and abuse of power and do-nothing-but-lick-Trump’s-nasty-boots behavior. Those in the MAGA Cult and its allies such as QAnon, the Christian Nationalists and Dominionists, the White Supremacists, the Project 2025 group, and other groups of sleepy haters must be expunged from government top to bottom in the same manner Germany bans Nazis from holding political office ever again.  Continue reading →

Our first family dayhike at Ebey’s Landing on Whidbey Island this year, Sunday 21 February 2010

In the weeks before our house burned down, our family, blended into different combinations, made two trips up to Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve and State Park. It’s a unique integration of national park, state park, and local town and county parks. Whidbey Island is the largest island by far in the State of Washington and the 40th largest within the United States of America. It’s a long, slender, and somewhat crooked extension of a cluster of archipelagos linked together in the Salish Sea. On this wintry trip with hints of spring are my then-now-ex-wife Kristina and I along with Talia, my stepdaughter I’ve help raise since her birth, and Anaise, one of Talia’s early childhood friends. Plus JoJo Jo Dog! We packed up snacks, bottles of water, extra clothes, and a first aid kit, piled into our minivan at our home in Edmonds, and headed north to the islands. The weather turned out “Fabulous! It’s fabulous, William!” to quote Kristina. The morning cold was pushed out by bright, blue skies without any clouds to behold. Just lots of golden sunshine and distant fog with the low, brown, lowland haze of urban air pollution.
