Ahh yes. I think we need some humor... (the columbia river crossing project and the local hounds of whinerville....)

While other blogs take more insane features of the columbia river crossing project, note here,  here and here?

There needs to be a little leavitt-y in the situation that have been still born around the local blogs for nearly two decades.

Now I know that Mayor Leavitt (and passionately Mr. Stuart) have their private moments and feelings about this project. I thought this song might some up the comments and conversations that have been going around recently and probably will sum up the mayors current position, quite nicely.

Thank you, Mr. Mayor for having some thick skin. And now, what I feel sums it up SO well.....

HOT<> HOT<> HOT!

Get out the water bottle, ice pack or find some great place that is cool! Expect the next three or four days to be in the upper 80s to mid 90s in Clark County, Washington. If you need to, go seek out the library, grocery store or some other great, cool place!!!

Clark County What a RIDE! :)

Hi everyone. I am back.... I hope you all are having a warm Thursday May 10th, WARM afternoon. Go out, enjoy that sun and maybe go talk to one of your neighbors. I know that I did recently in this beautiful weather!

CRC project over for me, time to move on.

The people who know me well in real life know that I decaded near ten to fifteen years of daily meetings, weekly briefings and political discussions. After a personal medical crisis in 2010, I decided I had to cut back my schedule and nightly watching of the City council and Board of Clark County commissioner meetings, which can take DAYS to watch, 

And if you add in all the blog posts, forums and exchanging email on the subject? Some who know and have done this for this long, know that you have to give up your right-to-family or second mortgage on your body for the time it took away from family and every year you had that project in your life. 

After the fantasy and games I have seen going on in the community to get this project built, I have decided that I must step aside from the politics of this project, the columbia river crossing project. Will it ever get built?

I doubt it will come under the guise of this currrent city of Vancouver mayor. Even if he wins the next mayoral election in 2013? He will have to dedicate two full time jobs of workload plus travel to junkets on rail and other topics of concern plus vacation AND keep down a full time position employment wise to fufill the life needs and keep the lights on in his own home. 

The you add in events from his community he has to attend 24-7? I would not wish that job on the insane. 

I think tis time to go on and live a more fruitful life. I wish the people who want to spend significant resources defending or disputing the columbia river crossing process the best. I don't find it worth the fight in me anymore. 

:) The Columbian tweet-UP

On March 1st, 2012, I was over at Pizza Schmizza over in Salmon Creek that hosted a three hour event from 6pm to 9pm or so. What a fun event! I loved meeting Andrea Damewood, Laura McVicker, Matt Wastradowski and so many of the reporter faces over at the Columbian. 

Jack Burkman, Cheryl Bledsoe and some other community and Twitter regulars were there for the festivities. I want to thank Schmizza Pizza for hosting us. If you are looking for a great date place or an awesome pizza, please, check them out if you are in Salmon Creek. (southeast end of the Salmon Creek Fred Meyer.) 

I hope to see you all soon at another one of these wonderful events! :)

Hallejuah, It's a new year! :)

So I'm back blogging again and its a new year. Life has been crazy with family, medical and the holidays have left me little time to go visit my old haunts in the Uptown Village and around the Mill Plain race course from I-205 to Camas. 

Ever been to Chuck's or Neighbors Markets? Dare everyone of my readers to go find some new feature in their local neighborhood! Nothing stays congnizantly the same forever. Go out for a walk or a drive and find some thing new. :)

Or you can find me in a local coffee shop listening to KPAM around 3pm with Terry Boyd's World. He's such a caring individual with a fullness of life and vim! So check him online via KPAM's online streaming or their web site. 

Columbian Tweet-UP (clark county, washington.)

Are you a local blogger, social maven or a part of the unknown twitterati? Would you like to get together with like minded individuals without agenda and have a few laughs?

Well, March 1, 2012 at Schmizza Pizza in Salmon Creek. Take 134th street exit off I-205 or I-5, head west for a short distance and its in the one of the associated business clusters around the south southeast side of the Salmon Creek Fred Meyer.
