Re: Drivers could soon pay per mile to use public roadways in Washington

In the interest of accuracy --

The Declaration states, "that all men are created equal," Jingles.

"Equal" is important, especially in today's 'woke' world.

Verizon off in Twisp

Usually, our Verizon service continues when others are reporting issues. We have line of sight to the McClure tower. My turn to announce basically no service at the north end of Glover Strret in Twisp. Get a bar or two that drop off with attempts to call. Could text, but that doesn't work much now. ...

Re: Why don't registered voters vote?

In spite of the way politicians, governments, and other entities toss around millions, billions, and trillions, it is an incredible amount of money! Just ask a senior citizen living on Social Security. Of course, I remember when a dollar was worth more than a hundred cents, and would buy more than f...

Re: Why don't registered voters vote?

Andy Borowitz's humor column in The New Yorkee was about money spent on campaigns, not running the election process. I remember asking my wise,, old grandfather years ago why anyone would spend so much money to get a job that annually psid such a small percentage of the campaign expenses. He said it...

Maybe it's just another cash cow, like Andy's humor post? “When you imagine what you could do with ten billion dollars, you immediately think of building new roads or schools,” a citizen of Montenegro said. “But America’s roads and schools must be in excellent shape, if they can afford to spend ten ...

Re: Roe vs. Wade

How is “viability” not also a “belief system” by your standards? I have performed ‘life saving’ work so many times on people who didn’t seem very ‘viable’. If even half the abortions performed in this country had any tie whatsoever to ‘endangering the mother’ you might have some point but they do n...

Re: Roe vs. Wade

'Everyone' being a key word. A fetus is not an 'everyone'. Until it becomes a person who does not endanger the life of the mother carrying it it is not viable. Every hospital administrator has had to deal with this situation on a regular basis. Choices have to be made. If you don't understand what ...

Having driven for decades in the Rocky Mountains on snow tires w/o studs, I never felt the need for them. Also, that was back when most of us changed our own mounted tires. Changed the oil snd filter, too! Even tuned the engine on my own! Last snow tires I had for my van were studless with walnut sh...

Re: OTC hearing aids available today for first time

Not being snarky, just don't understand the claim that hearing aids were only available through doctors and hearing aid companies. There are, and have been for a long time, hearing aids available online. Brands like Lexie, and Nano, and many others. I bought the pair I'm using now in May of this yea...
