Everyday is Memorial Day for me. Since I live just a short distance from Joint Base Lewis McChord and Madigan medical center; I see the sacrifices that our service people make daily and I read of some that won't be coming home also.   As a drafted Vietnam era  Army veteran my heart bleeds for those who came home with not even a thank you. They were caught just serving their country and trying to survive in a war no one says they supported. Instead they were spat on at the airport and called baby killers.   I returned to Active duty in the Navy in the early 70s as a Cold War Sailor and more than once my ship received letter bombs. These bombs were sent from our own countrymen who didn't understand what a deterrent mission was. How can sending a bomb in the mail be a peaceful demonstratio...

Washington is a state of many lovely and intriguing wonders - from the tall evergreens that give Washington its nickname of the evergreen state to the stately and majestic mountains, including the one we see from all over Pierce County - Mt. Rainier.  Those wonders don't stop at inanimate objects either. There are plenty of delightful critters all around us. Geese - LOTS of geese - are a regular and enjoyable sight when driving through Lakewood, Steilacoom, and areas around JBLM (Joint Base Lewis McChord). My grandkids and I were thrilled to spot a deer munching the flowers at a home in DuPont. I was a bit less thrilled when five deer ran across the street I was driving on in the Lakewood area as it was twilight and I almost didn't see them! My grandkids chortled at spotting them though...

We hear so much bad news on the TV, radio, and in the newspapers. But the good news is that there is PLENTY of GOOD news out there in our communities. Here are some examples from my neck of the Pierce County Washington woods this month. Grand news for Tacoma! The Tacoma Fire Department has just announced that they were awarded a grant from the SAFER (Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response) Program. While this grant won't pay to re-open a recently closed fire station in Tacoma, it will provide $3.4 million to fund as many as "20 existing front-line firefighter positions for two years."  The City of Lakewood shared a variety of ways that collaboration between city and a wide variety of groups is helping to make Lakewood an even better place to live. For example, Young Life and ...

Who wants to live where the commute is shortest around JBLM (Joint Base Lewis McChord)??? Let's face it; The last thing you look forward too when leaving work is sitting in traffic. So most people talk to people who were stationed at FT Lewis or McChord AFB in the late 1990s or early to mid 2000s. Back then everyone was looking at Lacey WA. Lacey was growing fast and prices were lower. The commute at that time was 15-20 minutes tops. Today; I can leave JBLM (McChord main gate) and make it to Lacey in 45-50 minutes unless its Friday. If it's Friday expect that trip to take 60-90 minutes. My Top 3 places to live for the shortest commute from JBLM... DuPont (NW Landing) Homes ($185k-$500k). Not the Cheapest, but as a planned community, it has many amenities worth considering... Commute 10 ...
