Merry Christmas (or what have you.)

I hope Santa brings you everything you deserve.

33 Years Ago Today

John Lennon was killed by a disgusting little puke whose name is not fit to mention. John's legacy lives on with me, a Beatlemaniac to the end.

Pearl Harbor Day

The Cap'n salutes all who served.

Happy Birthday Kristine

Happy Birthday to my baby girl, now 23 and married. She's been a joy to us every day of her life.

Happy Birthday Uncle Georgie

T-Town Sites 10

Mount Rainier is visible from anywhere in Tacoma, assuming a tree or building isn't blocking your view. But the best place to see it, in my opinion, is across the flightline of McChord Field. With two miles of flat ground before the nearest tree line, you can see not only the mountain but a large swath of the Cascade Mountain Range. Rainier is a volcano about 60 miles away as the crow flies, and I hope it doesn't have any plans to blow its top any time soon.
