09252011    I know you said we weren't going to bring up Israel politics, but I don't think it's a coincidence that Palestine is asking for statehood this time of year.  Israel needs to apologize, and then let it go.  You're not going to get both sides to apologize.  I'm not saying that they should.  In fact I don't think that the Palestinians need to apologize unless they want to.  Their foundation is based on our book, but they have their own good book.  The people running Israel aren't necessarily the Hebrew children.  They're people from all over the world who are in it for the money and military power.  Religion is a sidenote.  If you believe in the first 5 books, you need to apologize.  If not, then you're a hypocrite. 

8/29  The thing I find most disturbing about the documentary is that I've been dreaming this stuff since the tumor.  It's good to know that we have some elected officials that question the government itself.  There's Ron Paul. 
I'm glad you like my idea this fine 5th day in August.  Now I'm going to PTO, to lunch with a friend, and then off to my home away from home on Monday.  Jack will hold down the fort. 
I love my job.  I respect Elected Officals who aren't politicians, I don't like politicians and liars. 
Being righteous makes you tired sometimes because it sucks being right. 
If there's a fire or earthquake, we're going to be trapped in the building.  The facilities guy even said it's a danger.  Let me tell you the story of the chicken processing plant, and I've walked with WISHA.  If someone exits through that stairwell, they'll be trapped.  What state was that again? 
You've told the leaders now move on. 
People with mental health problems belong with mental health professionals.  Not in jail.  
I should wear my glasses when attempting to be righteous.  It hurts. 
 You don't F$$k, poke, with the children, poke, of Abraham, poke, and Sarah, poke, and you really don't F$$k with the children of quite possibly $#@h

POKE
Feel free to arrest my Jackass and make me a martyr.

Why did you delete that part Kate?  I don't know.  It just didn't seem right.  Just like saying Jackass, but I'm leaving that part.

The forms filled out.........ready, set, go!  May the force be with us.  Stop again.  Really!  It's not on the change sheet.

Pay attention America.  The Federal Reserve Bank just gave you two more years to get your act together.  
After that no complaining.

 Recently had a visit from the Grandchildren.  They say the strangest things.  I wasn't sure how to answer one question.......................................................................................................shift.  Glad you can feel it too.  You can mask it with drugs or live with it, but the underlying issue is still there. 
I wonder what would happen if all the people of our country couldn't get their drugs?

I was just "Sitting at the end of 227th Place SE being oblivious to how messed up life can be", and then I met you who woke up my third eye that I had safely tucked away from the time I was twenty.

Please don't make assumptions about this website.  It's better to read the story in the book.  This is just the outline. 

I'm really not sure why the other people thought it was appropriate to insert themselves in our lives, but at least their wickedness forced me to find out about our roots.  I wonder if one or both of us trace back to the Mormons.  I should never have given away that spinning wheel.  Maybe I can get it back.....Rats it's gone! 

The thing that upsets me the most is that every year I have to disclose this issue to my boss so as to not violate any code of ethics policy.  It's time again.  Yikes!

The problem with government employees is that they aren't held accountable to any code of ethics policy.  They park their cans in the seat, bare false witness, and cost the taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars.  I called our attorney the other day, which is rare now.  I called to thank him for closing, and to let him know that the Real Man of Alaska's wages were charged to the little triangle.  Like me he thought that was inappropriate since The Real Man of Alaska was obviously representing the neighbors and not the People.  I spent my time fighting him, and he was no help to us.  He wasn't even involved in the negotiations and contract we had with King County on the little triangle.  His boss was.  I was told four years ago that this issue probably cost the tax payers hundreds of thousands of dollars.  He was right.  The attorney bills alone were approximately $75,000, and have been disclosed to another group whose members inserted themselves in my life without me wanting them to.  If you add the King County Administrative people, that's a lot of Benjamin's over $500 worth of non-native weed trees planted in a public road without a Special Use Permit. 

The first spreadsheet I received through my public disclosure says there are $31,000 worth of Prosecuting Attorney Fees.  I'm still waiting for spreadsheet two and three.  I have two.  Now where's three with the other attorney's like the ones that represent the Executive, The Council, and Parks.

You can come back and help now.  Do you really want me back?  I can be Petulant sometimes.  We'll let The People decide after our building permit is approved.  If Paul Allen can do it, then we should be able to do it.  Is that how you spell Allen?  If the Council's tied your hands, then fix it.  

The thing about being righteous is that it's subjective.  One person's righteousness is another person's waste of time, and in Jack's case a P.I.T.A.  I think you need to pick your battles, and Jack's right about letting go.  Someday I hope to write about the impact on our organization, but it's not the right time.  So many people blame the banks for what happened in America.  You can't blame the banks, but you can blame people.  You can blame Countrywide.  It's not a bank.  You can blame AIG.  It's not a bank.  Blame people, but don't blame the banks.  I've seen more bad behavior and twisting the rules in King County government then I've ever seen in banking.  Blame the government if you're going to blame anyone, but I don't think you can blame anyone.  It's too difficult to figure out who's to blame because we don't have common morals anymore, and there's no such thing as common sense.  Some people are required to put 20% down when they buy a home, and some people don't.  When things don't work out, the bank takes the home and a loss.  Lifes a simple math equation, and everyone needs to figure out what equation works best for them.  One item of concern is that 80% of people don't spend any time on a plan.  I see it everyday, and we wonder why we're spending more and more on public assistance.  When the people don't have money for public assistance, some become homeless and hungry and eventually there's a revolution.  Daily I see people who can help, people who won't, and people who shouldn't.  If you listen to the right people, then things work out.  If they don't work out, then you need to be held accountable or rework the plan.  That was Mom and Dad's advice in our home, but unfortunately for many kids if they do have a mom or dad they can be dysfunctional.  We all have our little quirks, but the question is can you push and then drop back.  One might think that because I'm writing a book on the internet inspired by the corruption in King County Government that I'm a little dysfunctional.  Others might say that it's time for people to take a peaceful stand against what's not right.  Others might think it's a waste of time, but when you've slept 8 hours in Alaska and it's only 3 a.m. there's not much to do but read or write.  I'm sure the people below me wouldn't appreciate belly dancing at this hour, and the pool's not open.  My MIP (Most important point) at 3 a.m. AST is that the righteous need to find each other and keep talking.  Maybe together we'll figure out how to make the world a better place, save the planet one parcel at a time, and ward off the blue star that apparently the astrologists have spotted with the help of the Hoppe.  If the legend is true, then we have another World War coming and we'd better figure out normal life quickly.   And to think at one time I was just sitting at the end of 227th Place SE being oblivious to how messed up life can be and now I know about the Blue Star and the Great Architect of the Universe.   

12082011  I felt a little like Susan Lucci today.  I had no idea the award was coming given all the great companies in Seattle.  "After 13 years as a leader in Diversity and Inclusion it's well deserved."  Thank you.  I thought you were kidding.  If telling the truth is dysfunctional.  I'm OK with being dysfunctional.  In our family telling the truth was an expectation.  Your Dad is your best friend, and my mom is my best friend. 

I think we should rename the topic "Inclusion and Diversity".  I stuggled with the fact that HR Professionals don't know the difference between Affirmative Action and Diversity and Inclusion. 

11172011 6:49 a.m.  Maybe the Internet is right.  Maybe the government is spraying chemicals in the air to change the weather patterns.  Either that or maybe a comet just went through the sky east of our home this half moon morning as I walk the dog.  Travel well Jack, and Shabbat Shalom! Later that morning before Torah study.  Here come the wispy clouds. 

You don't get it because you're not wicked.  The thing about Jacob and Joseph is they got the gift from their mother.  More importantly Dr. DNA moves his hands . . . ?  What's the question?  Here's the answer.  Here's the answer.  Now what's the question?  Didn't I write that four years ago?  Maybe all those times I fell asleep while reading the King James version I absorbed the words through the leather.  I wonder if anyone realizes I'm laughing right now? You can't read tone in words. 

Later that same evening.......Is that rain?  Welcome back Jack and congratulations.  Shhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiffffffffffffftttttttttttttttttttt!  It's a triangle.

"If your birthday falls on the 19th day of any moth you are:  Compassionate, wise and understanding.  Those born on the 19th are loyal caring friends.  patient & supportive to all they meet.  The 19 is responsible and takes his comitment seriously both in his personal life and work.  The 19 has a passion for words and will excel in any career requiring a talent for the written or spoken word.  Excellent organizers and managers the 19 has a genuine liking for people.  He would be happy using these talents in his career.  Often ambitious and always independent the 19's high level of mental energy gives him much to draw upon meeting the challenges life may offer.  While known for their patience, 19's will show their lightening temper if deliberately deceived or exploited.  The 19 is fiercely protective of loved ones and is a devoted partner making every effort to meet their partner's needs."  Yep sounds like me.  I'll put studying numerology on my to do list.
