    The big 18 and adult things?

    The best things in life are free (except kids... they're expensive as hell, but still totally worth it) There's a time and a place to pack as much into life as you can and then some, and there are others where you should ditch the phone, ditch the crowd, hell ditch the book, and just go for a...

    What is "the great American novel"?

    Which is not about hunting at all. But one of the best short stories ever written. It changed my world.

    yes, WA water law says you don't need a water right to actively fight a fire. But preparedness (i.e. irrigation) does require one. Where that transition occurs is a line Ecology will fight you, and fine you over. Also, yeah...

    "We're going to dig a hole; a big one" is used throughout our family to describe how simple it is to entertain boys (and men)

    I'm going to have to try that one again, I remember starting it but not finishing it.

    Yes. But at a certain point you can't have your cake and eat it too. Something has to give.

    Drought for the west

    You're off track a bit. The vast majority of irrigation in eastern WA is on entirely separate systems from municipal drinking water. And not to throw other municipalities or engineers under the bus, but yeah, those systems should be designed for that event. Also, fire suppression systems...

    If you ever had to interface with Ecology Water Resources (the entity responsible for water right administration), you wouldn't be. I've never seen more hostile and incompetent regulator. It's really quite sad. One of my coworkers used to manage the Ecology NW Regional office, but left because...

    Drought for the west

    I have 3 acres of very green wet irrigated pasture around the house. It would survive even a bad firestorm unless something weird happened. But in many places Washingtonians have said that they want salmon over ag. My house irrigation is former ag, without that water I'm burning to the ground no...

    Sunday Pic of the Day

    Results of "I'm just going to send it" at 41... My first time at a downhill Mt bike park. It's just a flesh wound, but it'll bleed/ooze for the rest of the week.

    Drought for the west

    I don't know if I've ever seen that much intense heat coming out of a fire. All the while it was 55 and raining on Stevens Pass yesterday. Such a diacotemy. Chelan fire had this comment: **Message from the Fire Chief** ... Yesterday was a tragic day for so many parts of our state. Our fire...

    What is "the great American novel"?

    Having read only a few foreign novels I disagree. There is a brashness and bravado and greed that seems uniquely American in it's flavor. Yes love, hate, and loss are all very human and humbling, but those aren't what come to mind when I think GAN. I do think your two examples fit the mould.

    What is "the great American novel"?

    Ok, help me out. I read ole Moby Dick not that long ago and while Melville has moments of great depth and insight (mainly in the beginning), what is it that makes it a great America novel? The struggle against nature? Unfounded Obsession? Adventure (though I never felt this part was overly...
