LOVIN’ FROM THE OVEN
A survey released by the Washington Association of Realtors on Oct. 4 indicates that Kitsap County residents have not yet reached general agreement about the central issues involved in growth management.
The Washington State Supreme Court is on quite a roll these days in terms of thumbing its nose at both the law and the will of the voters in order to protect the ability of the state’s governing class to keep the tax money flowing regardless of how most of us may feel about it.
OK, OK, I’m recycling.
As a disciple of the late Gov. Dixy Lee Ray, I’m not convinced of the value of it yet, but I’m willing to listen to those who are and do.
Was it my imagination or were there an inordinate number of police out and about Kitsap County hunting prey over this past holiday weekend?
Everywhere I went, there were Sheriff’s deputies, Port Orchard and Bremerton police, and Washington State Patrol officers hiding around corners and behind bushes with their radar guns, etc., looking for any infraction that could justify pulling folks over.
Seeing a story in the newspapers the other day about a world wide “toilet revolution” reminded me of one of the accomplishments of the late House Speaker John L. O’Brien of Seattle that I hadn’t included in his obituary when he died last spring at 95.
It caused big problems for holiday travelers, but Paula Hammond, Washington’s new Secretary of the Department of Transportation (DOT), did the right thing when she pulled the four Steel Electric class ferries out of service the day before Thanksgiving.
The problem: Cracks and corrosion in the hulls.
Did it bother you when Brad left Jennifer? Do you cringe over every one of Britney’s exploits? Can you repeat them all if anyone asked?
Well, if you can answer yes to any of these questions, you may be what Carla Seaquist, State Rep. Larry Seaquist’s wife calls “the celebrity-starved.”
When the Washington State Legislature reconvenes in a few weeks, residents of South Kitsap can once again cringe while awaiting the output.
Will our lawmakers heed our wishes as expressed in two elections and leave the passenger-only ferry (POF) idea alone?
You know the scene. The Grinch braces the sleigh full of stolen presents atop a mountain when he hears the faint sounds of the Whos down in Whoville singing.
They sing, he realizes even though they have lost all their Christmas goodies, including the roast beast.
I was all ready for this last big windstorm.
The weather report I pay the most attention to is the one on what’s going on in Admiralty Inlet, which is my front yard. Well, really my backyard.
Today, there is an unavoidable urge to let government engineer our lives in the name of climate change.
We all know that children take their cues from adults.
Infused with new blood and wiser after years and scars from intra-party battling, Kitsap Republicans passed a nice, clean platform at their county convention Saturday — one guaranteed to offend nobody — and left vowing to keep the White House and take back Congress, the governor’s office, the Legislature and the courthouse.
