During its heyday in the 1960s, The Trail's End was out in the country in the Tumwater area, hosting lots of horse and pony shows and events. Since we raised Shetland and New Forest ponies, this was a place we'd visit from time to time.

The place has been closed up and derelict for quite awhile, and residential sprawl has caught up to the surrounding area. Today it could serve as a nice location for a B-movie.

OK My Town Is Going Nuts Right Now


The Seahawks won and about half of the 1600 souls in my little town are honking horns, firing guns, lighting fireworks, yelling in the streets. The last time I saw this much public celebration around here was when Obama got Osama. It is really something to witness.

Well, good. Washington, my home, deserves to finally have some national win of any sort in the sports world. I am not a football fan, but I like the way this has generated a lift in morale for folks around here. Sort of like Christmas has been extended up here in our Far Left corner of the USA.

Favorite Movie Quotes: The Ladykillers (1955)

"Simply try for one hour to behave like gentlemen."

Fifteen Heart Attacks, p. 20-21, by Mike Hill!

The Fifteen Heart Attacks online jam lives on! One of my favorite ever cartoonists, Mike Hill, who lives in Western Pennsylvania (a part of the country I have learned to love), contributed the following. Thank you Mike for climbing aboard!







Morty Comix # 2691






Dreamer, Buster, and Hettie seem unconcerned as I toss in Morty Comix # 2691 as an extra bonus as part of an order I got this weekend for original art (from Storm Warnings) and a packet of vintage City Limits Gazette issues. The whole package is headed Back East.

While the East Coast has turned into an icebox, the West Coast starts to see the signs of early spring.

But then more often than not we get fooled and snow falls on new blooms.
