This is what was on the INSIDE of my kitchen window this morning:
Yes, it is pretty f-ing cold out. I guess it’s the coldest February day in Spokane’s history. It’s 7 degrees out and the wind is blowing. So, with the windchill it feels like -14 degrees. brrrr!
I heard about this on the radio this morning and just shook my head:
Vice President Dick Cheney says he has the power to declassify government secrets, raising the possibility that he authorized his former chief of staff to pass along sensitive prewar data on Iraq to reporters.
You have got to be kidding. You know where this is going, right? That this could be the possible talking point on Cheney being implicated in the Valerie Plame problem. So the Vice-president can declassiffy information in order to seek revenge on somebody who speaks out againist the Bush administration. I don’t think, if this really is the case, that was the intent of this law. It is sickening how lawless this administration is.
Oh, and the shooting. ugh. There are so many questions that come up with regard to it, that I don’t know if I want to go there. Rest assured, though, he probably won’t be prosecuted for it. If anyone else were to be in this situation, they would have to suffer the consequenses, accident or not. The important thing about this whole thing, to me, is not that he took so long to say something about it (although, that is a problem). To me, the issue is that HE SHOT SOMEONE. The freaking vice-president of the United States shot someone. WTF? It’s just insane.
These geese were in somebody’s front yard down the street from the duck pond at Manito park. I guess this would be a drawback for living so close to the park. When I took this picture they were coming toward me in attack mode, hissing!
Raf and I just got back from a little walk in the freshly fallen snow that we are experiencing this morning. It was so beautiful! I took lots of pictures that I will try to post today. This one I took at Manito Park. I just thought the snow on the trees was just so pretty. Raf had fun making snowballs and throwing them at me :). I got a few shots at him, too. We made gigantic snowballs that we rolled down a big hill. We had fun.
I took this last Monday on a hike at Bowl and Pitcher in Riverside State Park. The river is exceptionally high right now.
It’s snowing outside right now..I may go out and take some pics of it today before it all melts.
