Labor v. Employer
Boeing’s Machinist Union just voted against the company proposed contract. Since the current contract expires in 2016, there will be no strike or other negotiation. Boeing has until 2016 to figure out what to do next, primarily on the location … Continue reading

Whidbey Island
What make a place perfect to live? Most would dream about the same: beautiful natural view, easy access to civilization — stores, hospital, restaurants, etc., “just the right distance” to the neighbors, pleasant climate, infra-structure for hobbies, close to friends … Continue reading
Victoria, BC
June 30th, 2013 In this record heat-wave weekend, the Pacific Northwest basked in glorious sun and mid-80°F. We dusted off our sunglasses and tried hard to rub some tan into our fish belly skin tone. It was a perfect weekend … Continue reading

October 13th, 2012 Visualization did not work! My “thought rehearsals” omitted the repeated mutiny attempts by the wind and the boat. At the end, I prevailed. Same boat, the Mercury, and I showed off my perfectly done bowline knot. Just … Continue reading
Maiden Voyage
October 6th, 2012 “You looked at the lake like a puppy at the park,” Wife commented. It was gorgeous day: bright, blue sky, 71°F. The flag on top of the courthouse building was flying, indicating good wind. I packed a … Continue reading
Simple Joy of Life
Seattle’s October came abruptly this year. It was pleasant 70°F and plummeted into mid 40s in one day. It even hailed in the city and snowed on the mountain. Satellites survive the winter with the faith that June will be … Continue reading

Stuck at the 29th floor
October 27th, 2012 Saturday night, after a nice dinner (thanks to wonderful Wife), I was just lazily watching TV and someone scratched my window. Huh? This is the 29th floor! Was a bird hurt out there? I rose to investigate. … Continue reading
