The comedy you insert throughout is priceless.

If ya can't laugh, you'll go crazy, right?

At my judgement God will ask me what I did in this lifetime, (trick question, God already knows), I’ll reply I laughed a lot. And God will reply, “You passed.”

Appreciate the humor being familiar with some of the perpetrators, Asslee, Constantine. I am on the East side of the state where it is still somewhat sane. In Wenatchee, Omak, etc., some grab and dash is starting to occur. Try that in Tonasket, Oroville, etc., and you will be very sorry you did.

Almost 20 years ago now, a friend took me over to Seattle. He had some business, needed company and I had never been there. All the hills and trees reminded me of Pittsburgh. Saw all the sights. Shopped and of course stopped at Pike's Market. Pretty neat place. Then saw a video called "Seattle is Dying". I walked the areas downtown where tents and homeless are on the sidewalk now! All I can think is the population must be f***in insane to put people in office who condone it.

I can do that. Pretty crazy this afternoon. Smoke in several places. People are talking to each other. Some thought Canada was flaring up. North and East if us sky looked black like a bad storm. Actually smoke. Curlew, Chesaw and Republic in that direction. Area is getting a fine ash. Like a light snow. It can travel for miles. As long as I see no glowing anywhere, we're good at night.

I definitely understand your skepticism, Mike. Justifying gun control is what it's all about. And, this guy Constantine aiming to make racism a health issue... Imagine that! Enjoyable read. Thanks.

Thanks, also, for the grocery prices. :^)

I first thought the guy singing in the garden was Mike. I have no clue who this Dave Matthews is. Well, I have heard of him, but never listen to anything he has done. I did go to that YouTube video, and saw the comment that Mike quoted under the thumbnail. I replied to it:

Exactly. I have heard of this Dave Matthews guy for a long time, but never heard anything he did or sang. They say he draws large crowds and has a loyal fan base. Who knew. I didn't.

He also lives in Wokeington State. He did a concert in 2021 at the Gorge—vaccinated only.

I fell asleep at Dave Mathew’s Gorge concert before all this Covid insanity. You either love him or fall asleep.

I went to one show. I spent the entire time in the beer garden. Far more entertaining.

Matthews plays at Democrat Campaign Events these days and was caught dumping his sewage into the Chicago river a while ago.

Horrid. Dying in a Safeway when all you needed was groceries. The timing of these disasters is so notable, it's like a big neon sign [that so many still don't see]. Ah, at least some do.

And the garbanzo beans were on sale for .89 cents a can.

It seems the "deaths" happened out in the parking lot, yes? Maybe there was a fight over who would make it in to buy the GMO chips and garbanzos.

Bud Light was also on sale. I’m sure Seattle detectives are factoring it into the equation.

Wow, I read that article carefully as I can and looked at the Twitter feed and Utube from the local station. I have friends who live in Seattle and of course visited a couple times 2010 and 2012.. before everything went to hell in a hand basket. That is totally shocking to me.. I do go to my Safeway here. I am sure you noticed what are all those "tents" surrounding the Safeway in the Twitter photos? A Safeway is surrounded by tents? I won't ask anything like wow that is private property since I don't live there, but I know the laws around here w/ regard to Safeway (I actually worked at a Safeway when I was young for four years while in University back in the day). So I will go an look at that again. That was NOT MENTIONED in any local press here. At all. Seattle is really a disaster.. now, I am really saddened to see that. I hope the voters in Seattle and the local govt comes to its senses soon. Washington State and Mt Rainier used to be so beautiful. I wonder what the exodus rate of Washington state is these days. thanks for posting. Good post going to read again and then get to work.. I have a lot to do this week .. WOW. Very very sorry that Seattle is californicated.

thanks Mike -- great piece as usual

especially, the end:

That’s all folks!

brings back memories of the good ole days, when we would watch the early Saturday morning cartoons like Bugs Bunny in our parents bed on a little TV and maybe even do some play wrestling with our father. Compared to what we have to contend now, those memories seem so comforting...
