Item #1: A penny’s worth of fries<\/span>\"\"<\/p>\n

Six at a time<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

So he thinks a serving of fries is just 6. There’s a solution for that.
\nThere is one sort of hidden in this batch. Note the penny for scale.
\nWorks for me.<\/p>\n

Item #2: Color of the year<\/span>\"\"
\nParrot barf or Living Coral – – You decide.
\nCode# 16-1546<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Search using ‘Living Coral’ and you can find many hits on the Pantone Color Institute’s Color Of The Year For 2019.<\/p>\n

Many years ago a building visible from the downhill run into Lewiston, Idaho was given a new coat of paint. No one was quite sure what name the color had, but most agreed it wasn’t pretty. A fellow we knew that wrote for the paper decided the color was that of Parrot barf. He proceeded to make an issue of it in an opinion column.
\nAt that time we did not know anyone that had a parrot and we had not seen one’s barf. I recall the building’s color was a bit more orange or orange\/brown. Nevertheless, this new color called “Living Coral” brought about an old memory.<\/p>\n

You will see a lot of \u201cLiving Coral\u201d things in 2019, and you will be urged to buy them. Be prepared.<\/p>\n

Item #3: See the coyote<\/span>\"\"
\nNote the lack of vegetation. The uneven white stripes across the structure are erosion control mats \u2013 straw in rolls of
\nbiodegradable jute netting. They will become part of the landscape in a year or so.<\/p>\n

More on the crossing;<\/p>\n

From 6 weeks ago<\/strong><\/a>\"\"
\nHere is an artistic image of what this crossing will look like after 20+ years, when the trees have grown.<\/p>\n

Central Washington researchers and students were involved with this project. Some of those students were in Nancy’s classes in the last few quarters she taught. I’ve seen the construction progress because I have to go that way for many of the Washington Trails trips.<\/p>\n

Item #4: The Oak Ridge Boys<\/span>\"\"
\nTraveling with suits<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

These 4 are no longer boys but we have liked their songs, as did the recently deceased President Bush.
\nThey were in Spokane when the funeral was held. They went to Texas to sing \u201cAmazing Grace\u201d .<\/p>\n

Item #5: Be careful what you pray for<\/span><\/p>\n

Snoqualmie Pass ski resort held a “Pray for Snow” party amid grim snowpack forecast<\/p>\n

That can’t mean good news: I’m off to buy a new shovel.<\/p>\n

And that, for this week, is the not so nasty news.
