it’s another to commit those thoughts to paper.

I’ve learned that from my hero Rod Serling …
full story here
Rod Serling was surely one of the most idealistic, outspoken, and iconoclastic writers of television’s Golden Age. His highly developed social conscience, his strong opinions against bigotry and prejudice, his antipathy toward network censorship, were eloquently expressed in the more than 200 teleplays he wrote and in the many interviews he gave to national newspapers and magazines- by Linda Jay Brandt

Community meeting with the Diversity Commission of the City of Lynnwood
Recent actions by local police have damaged trust between local police and residents. For example, many residents when stopped for traffic infractions have been asked about their immigration status, and later sent to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
When this happens, many people no longer feel safe reporting crimes or collaborating as witnesses.
The Diversity Commission will hear stories from Seattle, where residents and city officials have worked together to pass an ordinance and build relationships that are making the community safe for all residents. These examples show that trust between police and the community make the community safer and stronger.
Come and join us, and let’s work together to make Lynnwood a safe and welcoming city!

Cool.
my friend Al sent this to me…
“Over here in the blue states… it’s chicken…
not good old fashioned tasty fried chicken… oh heck no… we’re talking about some free range granola eating no artificial anything chickens…
thing of it is, we’re only allowed to eat skinless chicken breasts out here in the PNW.
Don’t know what they do with the rest of the chicken, but I’ve never seen it make it’s way to a dinner plate. But good news is it’s only on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday… Friday is Fish…”
and that my friends is another story…

Do you know what I’ve learned in the five months I’ve had this blog up?
That some people care so much about what you write that they’ll pay people just to check you out.
At first I thought it was creepy
In the long run these readers made me realize the power of the written word.

It’s All In The Game
A long time ago
my oldest son played soccer.
Most of the parents insisted outfitting the kids in high cost pro style uniforms, they bought uniform bags, even special water bottles.
All of this stuff was embossed with the team logo…and before the game they’d line this stuff up on the ground and then they’d raise a custom made team banner over it all.
The kids were six years old
Some people take this stuff way to seriously like these guys…
By Associated Press
LACEY, Wash. (AP) – The Black Hills Junior Football League says the parents who brawled after a game in Lacey won’t be welcome back.
Police cited two people for assault after the weekend brawl involving at least 15 people at South Sound Stadium following game. The players are second- through fourth-graders.
The fight between Samoan and non-Samoan parents began with a dispute over loud cheering by parents. One man was treated at a hospital for a neck injury.
The football league president says the penalties against fighting parents won’t affect their child’s status on a team.
