"Clark's Tree," a bronze sculpture by Stanley Wanlass on display in the dunes at Long Beach, Washington. The tree has an inscription bearing a replica of a carved message from Clark (of Lewis and) in 1805 when he ventured this far north on the coast.
This sculpture is so lifelike I had to get pretty close before I figured out the thing was metal.
OlyGhostBusters
Just stumbled across the OlyGhostBusters website. The focus is on the "Lady in White," the ghost who is alleged to roam the campus of South Puget Sound Community College in Olympia, Washington. The site reprints my "Ghosts and Love" article from Olympia Power and Light March 24-April 6, 2010 and includes a brief interview which was via email, as I recall.
Quote of the Day
"Got ... got to ... make it ..."
Tacoma, Washington State native Bruce Bennett (who lived to be 100 years old), talking to himself while crawling through the desert in Sahara (1943) in the role of Waco Hoyt.

Our Own Arab Spring: UC Davis
What is really chilling about this video is how nonchalant the officer appears to be as he pepper sprays peaceful demonstrators. Almost as if he is simply watering the flower garden, but as Sarah pointed out he is actually watering the garden that will grow the seeds of radical change as normal Americans are utterly horrified. Those are our children on the frontlines.
This is wrong. This is unAmerican.
For what it's worth, we've seen this before. The system is broken and needs an overhaul. And no amount of pepper spray is going to prevent that from happening.

Oysterville, Washington
The marker reads:
Pacific County was the third county in Washington Territory, and Oysterville served as county seat from 1855 to 1893. In 1875, taxpayers built a courthouse and jail at this location and it served for all county business until “South Bend Raiders” came here on Sunday morning, Feb. 5, 1893, and carried away the records. This first county owned building then served for two years as the Peninsula College.
The school was also known as Peninsular College, directed by August Bernhardt Louis Gellerman, who later ran for Washington State Governor as a candidate for the Prohibition Party in 1916. The actual building blew down in a storm in 1940.

A road paved with oyster shells, Oysterville, Washington
Reminds me of that old saying, "The road to good intentions is paved by not being shellfish about your good intentions" ... er, or something like that. Perhaps I got it wrong.
