Bishop in 2013

Sleepy Bishop getting ready to crash out on my lap back in 2013.

USMC Fat Albert

The Palouse

The Palouse near Pullman Washington -- not a painting -- photographed from Steptoe Butte.

18,000 square miles of the most productive farmland on Earth.....

And you never see a fence.

The farmers all know where their field's boundaries are simply by the topography.

"I don't know Butchie instead."

BREAKING NEWS!

The US has just installed Marco Rubio as King of Persia.

Firing Kristi Noem and replacing her with Markwayne Mullin is like shitting your pants and running home to change your shirt.

Also, the two connected first names is a total giveaway that everyone here in redneck country knows that we're dealing with a fucking moron when we see it.

Marco Rubio after being told he has to take over the Peshmerga and invade Iran.

Bellevue, Washington

Meydenbauer Bay, Lake Washington, Bellevue, Washington. My house was in the trees at the arrow.

I loved living in Bellevue -- even though folks in Seattle make fun of the east side communities -- much like Manhattanites make fun of bridge and tunnelers in NYC.

I miss the Pacific Northwest.

bill in exile

Back in the Olden Days -- in the early days of the blogosphere i.e., 2003/4 -- I had a blog. It ran for ten years and eventually had a pretty OK readership -- averaging 4,000+ unique visitors a day at its peak. I even monetized it.

It was porn and politics.

I miss those innocent halcyon days.

Yoga at Q Nightclub

I'm no rocket scientist but......this was imo a pretty damn good idea I had when I was trying to figure out how to monetize the off hours of Q Nightclub in Seattle.

I brought in one of our DJs, a yoga instructor, and a cashier to collect the Quatloos and BOOM! A yoga studio in a nightclub.

George (T) and Max. They were wonderful kittehs.

George was my ex bf's cat. He came to stay for two weeks in 2000 when the ex went on vacay and he ended up staying with us for 11 years. We got Max as a little 2 month old kitteh in 1988 and he and I were together for the next 21 years.

Signs that are appearing around New York City.

I can't begin to tell you how much I hate finding myself on the same side of an issue as MTG.

Many MAGA influencers have suddenly changed their minds about foreign wars...
