The Tri-Cities Needs a (real) 4 Year University

September 26th, 2005 by Jimmy · 2 Comments

I have been thinking about this for a long time. Being a Hanford worker, and knowing that Hanford dollars are eventually going to fade away, at some point I am going to be left with two choices: Pack up and move away, or go back to school and change career. Of […]

Leadership, Choices and Golf

September 23rd, 2005 by Jimmy · No Comments

I admit it… I golf. I love golf..er.. I hate golf…er… anyone who plays golf has to know what I mean. But one of the things I like best about golf, except for spanking “whitey” 300 plus yards down the fairway, is the conversations. And I must admit that golfers, at least […]

Crazy Initiatives - Part I

September 22nd, 2005 by Jimmy · No Comments

I thought I had seen them all…. Not that this one has any chance of making the ballot but it has some conservation merit… or message… er… oh well. Not sure what to think of this one. But a co-worker was kind enough to point it out. If only we could […]

Primary Day

September 20th, 2005 by Jimmy · No Comments

Very quiet around the Mid-Columbia. Gathering storm I suspect and not much to write about. But today is primary day so if you haven’t turned in your mail in ballot today is the day. Must be postmarked TODAY.

Getting Your 2000 Dollar Benefit

September 8th, 2005 by Jimmy · No Comments

Hurricane Katrina Survivers - The White House says to be paitent when applying for your $2000 disaster benefits. There are far more eligible people than there are callers available to take your application.
Sounds like voting in Ohio……
Other things I read today:
Pat Robertson gets a windfall
Confronting the Judicial War on Faith conference

Fake “Think Tanks” - Spinning Hurricanes (Katrina)

September 7th, 2005 by Jimmy · 2 Comments

I think every right wing “think tank” and conservative online journal in the country has come out to defend the Bush administration’s complete failure in dealing with this disaster. And while hurricanes, tornados and earthquakes are equal opportunity disasters, right wing “think tanks” are not. They have a single task at hand to rally around […]

Dateline 2025: King County Says “Fix it yourselves”.

September 2nd, 2005 by Jimmy · 1 Comment

That is exactly what we might hear in 20 years or so. While the Mid-Columbia has a knack for getting it’s transportation projects funded eventually we may be faced with a similar dilemma as that of our friends on the west side.
The Kennewick/Pasco Blue bridge was built in 1953 and funded through a 1951 […]

And Speaking of (un) Sound Politics…

September 1st, 2005 by Jimmy · No Comments

I hadn’t gone over to the site lately but after I reminded myself in the previous post, I took a peek. It appears Stephan has published the salaries of Washington State Teachers on his web site (courtesy of Marsha Richards). Of course the link goes over to EFF…
What a bunch of Jackasses. […]

Site Change

September 1st, 2005 by Jimmy · No Comments

I changed the site. It was looking a little to much like a pagan ritual and even more possibly the scene of a human sacrifice. In case you were wondering, the photo was from the fire dance show from The String Cheese Incident at Hornings Hideout, North Plains Oregon. I […]
