Is slowly growing at svlibertarian.info

I'm going to open up a place on there for selected people to have a "guest blog" where you can sound off on whatever you want and link back to your website.  This is a one shot statement, not ongoing.   

The idea is about once a week or so to have someone from the broader community say something and put up a link to their webpage kind of as an idea exchange.   

I'm less interested in finding people who agree with me as I am interested in finding people who have something interesting and coherent to say.  Liberal, conservative, gun toting libertarian, whatever.  

Rick, since I've gotten a lot of mileage out of Olyblog (and will continue to do so) I'm giving you first whack at this.  Write to your heart's content on whatever you want.  Put some pics in it and I'll put it up under "Guest Bloggers".  Anyone else interested, PM me please.  Remember ideas, not idealogy count here.

Tickets include up to
two consecutive movies
and a prize drawing
The prestigeous Olympia Film Society, located at the Capitol Theater in downtown Olympia, offers a free ticket to up to two consecutive movies, free popcorn, and free coffee or soda to volunteer ticket sellers and ticket takers. I was recently granted the opportunity to interview Kendra Hadlock, OFS Volunteer Coordinator, and Barbara, who has volunteered at the OFS for over ten years, about the rewarding experience of ticketing at the Olympia Film Society:

C: Kendra, what are the opportunities available for those who want to volunteer to ticket at the Olympia Film Society?
Kendra: Ticketers can volunteer Monday through Saturday, at 5:45 & 8:15 and Sundays at 1:45, 5:45, & 8:15 - Find an open shift on the volunteer signup sheet on the west wall of the Capitol Theater lobby. Sundays are often open, but we really also need help with ticketing at live events. There is a live events sign up in the lobby as well. Available positions are selling tickets and tearing tickets.

C: How much time should a prospective volunteer plan to set aside for each volunteer opportunity?
Kendra: One hour for regular film screenings, longer for live events (but then you get in for free!)

Took these today.  They pretty much speak for themselves.

What happen to the blog entry by a self-identified Bread and Roses guest. He wrote some non-specific criticisms of his experience there. Rob responded saying his post was inappropriate and to call him. I wrote I'd like to hear more from the blogger. Three hours later the whole thing is gone. What's up?

I give you this pie

to acknowledge the journey you have made

to arrive at this present moment

and to celebrate the new beginning

that starts right now.

The one I can see the smoke from is out on cooper point. I can see the smoke from my office in downtown. I'm not sure of the address, someone on the Olympia said it was near "Anchor Lane above the bay."

The second one was a little earlier today in Lacey near Hawks Praire Golf Club

King5 has a video:

It says it was at this address:

5538 Crestview Loop NE

Let's hope no one was hurt.

NO hot button issues, please!

A woman tells her husband she has good news and bad news.  The husband replys, "Give me the good news."

You're bigger than your brother.
