These are news stories that I thought were important this week.

And this is my blog so I’ve decided that it’s  REALLY IMPORTANT NEWS.

First Up:

This story suggests water may still flow on Mars ‘ in brief spurts’. I don’t know what that means, but I hope that there is water on Mars and I hope that there are Martians to- bad ones- parked in the Martian desert somewhere just waiting for their chance to kick some Earthling backside like they did in the original  ” War Of The Worlds “.

Don’t feel all superior…we didn’t beat the Martians in that story. The Bacteria in the Earth’s atmosphere did the Martians in.

Yes indeed, tiny single cell life forms and they whupped the Martians who had space ships and ray guns.

There’s a lesson in there somewhere.

Next Up:

Thousands of McDonalds French Fries caused a traffic jam on I-90 going over Snoqualmie Pass in Washington State. Go ahead, just let those words ( french fries, traffic jam ) wonder around you head for a minute. It’s enough to make you google French Fries and Snoqualmie Pass right now, isn’t it?

Go ahead, I’ll wait.

Okay, are you ready for another one?

I live in Snohomish County, and we don’t get enough attention. No one knows we are here. I’m not talking about  the rest of the world I mean within the state of Washington

It’s all because of Seattle ( which is in, but some would say IS King County). Plus we don’t have anything like the Space Needle  up in Snohomish County or anyplace cool like Ye Olde Curiosity Shoppe

Well try living next door to that, I mean unless come up with a club like the Solstice Cyclists aka the Naked Bicycle Riders, Snohomish County will continue to own the role as King County’s dateless sister who spends her weekends with her cats.

So I figure that someone up here just couldn’t take it anymore and they got a little too desperate for attention. In itself  that could explain why recently one of our Political Parties thought it would be a really great idea to run a Magician for the position of Snohomish County Executive. 

Hey I have nothing against Magicians. Harry Houdini is a hero of mine I’ve even written a story about a Werewolf who wants to become a  Magician in a Sideshow…but man, I was kidding.

So those were news stories I thought were important. I hope you found them as interesting as I did.
