And the little UML dots are released from the grid, celebrating their freedom from my compulsive dungeon. The gridlines were like prison bars.

The UMLs for this time period: 008, 026, 028, 032, 065, 070, 087, 242, 295, 300, 313, 336, 429, 430, 438, 498, 526, 553, 612, 705, 708, 815, 816, 825, 842, 875, 889. I just recorded them without any sense of purpose. It was habit.

It may take a couple of weeks rather than a few days for me to get to the speciesism information post I promised. However, I will include contact information to a local Animal Rights resource with the post.

The National Weather Service is predicting some much lower temps for us soon - low Sunday night of 21, Monday night 19, and that isn't taking wind chill into account. If you can help Bread and Roses out with winter needs, give them a call at 360.754.4588. Although we are not a clothing bank, we do run a Winter Clothing Drive every year. Keep us in mind for your good-condition jackets, sweaters, hoodies, sweatshirts, heavy pants, boots, scarves, gloves and knit hats. We accept blanket donations year-round as well as donations of tents, tarps, and other camping related materials.

David Burgess entered Washington State politics late in his life, but he seemed to make up for lost time once he dove in. The persistent Socialist ran for Governor, US Senate, or US House no less than seven times between 1902-1926, only once tallying just over 5% of the vote. He was born Feb. 5, 1849 in Hopewell, Ohio, probably the eldest son of Elwood and Gaynor (Ball) Burgess. At some point he struck out on his own and by 1880 was living in Clark County, Arkansas. While there he edited a weekly agricultural newspaper. Burgess came to Washington State with his wife and children around 1898 and became involved with the Equality Colony, the communal experiment mentioned in the profile of previous Ungovernor W.C.B. Randolph. He served two jobs for Equality. First, he was the principal of the school. In a school photo he appears to be a mature man with a distinguished grey beard. Second, he was an editor and writer for the communal newspaper, Industrial Freedom.

Collection of stories, accounts, research, and queries regarding (but not limited to) sundown towns in our area. Who used to live here? If groups of people were shut out or chased out - what are those stories? What are the secret histories of our towns? What cultures and peoples make up our area? Where do we come from, what are our histories? |
