Study electricity change before asking voters | Letters
Study electricity change before asking voters | Letters Robert McGee, Port Orchard, Kitsap Sun Wed, October 21, 2026 at 6:32 PM EDT Like most of my neighbors, I'm frustrated with rising power bills. But KPUD Proposition 1 isn't the answer, at least not yet. Supporters call it a vote for a feasibility study. Read the ballot. It asks whether KPUD shall "construct or acquire electric facilities." The word "study" isn't there.

Study electricity change before asking voters | Letters Robert McGee, Port Orchard Oct. 21, 2026, 3:32 p.m. PT Like most of my neighbors, I’m frustrated with rising power bills. But KPUD Proposition 1 isn’t the answer, at least not yet. Supporters call it a vote for a feasibility study. Read the ballot. It asks whether KPUD shall “construct or acquire electric facilities.” The word “study” isn’t there. Once voters grant that authority, there’s no second vote, and the authority has no expiration date.
Opinion: Thinking about voting for Donald Trump? Remember that history repeats itself
When Donald Trump got elected in 2016, I went to bed early, not needing to wait for the final results; and that night I had the most intense and prescient dreams of my life. Fiery helicopters spun out of control above a city engulfed in chaos as our government turned against us. A young woman atop a skyscraper was torpedoed in the stomach — gutted, as it were, just as many citizens’ rights would later be, and I awoke knowing pretty much where our country was headed.
My father may be gone, but 'our' radio is still going
My most prized possession was once somebody’s trash. It’s a blocky, black radio that was manufactured in 1941, the year my father was 12 years old. I snatched it from the county landfill when I was 13, in 1978. The person who threw it away must have determined they couldn’t fix it, though it seemed they thought someone else might. They had set the radio off to the side of the dumpster, safe in plain view, just in case some industrious person with know-how appeared.
I’m a Dog Architect, and Here’s Why Your Whole House Should Be Windows
It’s not often you meet a dog who is also a professional architect, but today’s your lucky day. Nice place, by the way. Smells amazing. If you’re up for it, I’d love to offer my professional opinion of all the structural changes I’d make, though. First, I’d knock out that exterior wall and install floor-to-ceiling windows. See, with your current design, there’s no way to know if someone is approaching from the east.
I’m Quitting-This Bowling Alley Is Going to Have to Find a New CGI Skeleton to Go On-Screen After a Strike
Hey Ronnie, you got a second? I want to talk to you about some issues I’m having out on the floor. Now, let me make this abundantly clear. I didn’t take this job because I wanted to be a star, and I don’t want more cash or anything. You knew when you hired me that I didn’t want this job because of the money. Just like how I knew when I got into this business that screen time was never guaranteed. But Ron, It’s been almost a year since I got to go out there and I need to perform.
How to Safely Reopen Schools According to Your Childless Male Friend
Look, I know that this whole school re-opening shiz has got everyone’s panties in a massive wad, but I feel like it shouldn’t be that big of a deal to figure out. Sure, I get that literally everyone with any knowledge of the situation, from the parents, to the teachers' unions, to the mother-fucking CDC is bugging out, but they can all just calm the fuck down now because Chad is here to solve this nutcruncher.
Selling firewood for a living: Warm transactions and a warm profession
For more than a decade, I’ve sold firewood to pay my property taxes. This isn’t just about money, though; it’s how I stay fit and engage with 14 wooded acres, as well as with strangers who wish to keep warm. Over the years I’ve noticed a recurring event. In January, it gets really cold (as it tends to in winter), chilly people make frantic calls to buy firewood from strangers on Craigslist, and then harshly worded posts appear to warn folks to beware of this and that scam artist.
Woods Work
Deep in the forest where I live are the remains of a granite carriage house built long ago and neglected for half a century. For the past few months, a man I’ve known for years (though not well) has been coming over to help remove brambles and vines from the overgrown walls. Each week, we go into the woods armed with only hand tools, and hands. And while I won’t claim it’s the blind leading the blind, we were both liberal arts majors, so draw what conclusions you will.
Yes, There Is an Active Serial Killer Living in Your Building and Yes, We Are Still Raising Your Rent
Attention residents, Many of you have reached out to me ahead of the upcoming lease term with concerns that there might be an active serial killer operating out of one of the apartments in the building. Following a thorough investigation into the issue, I have both good and bad news to report. The good news is, your suspicions are correct.
The game we played
My mother always said that my father could fix anything except a broken heart. She may have misjudged. Born in Texas at the start of the Great Depression with a deformed right arm he couldn’t raise past his ear, my father compensated for his inability to play games or go to war by channeling his immense energy into building houses and repairing things. As you can imagine, he wasn’t thrilled when I became obsessed with sports involving balls.

Gang Member Made Son Smoke Whole Pack of Fools in One Day
LA - Young Andre got a hard lesson in parenting last week after his father, Tré, a member of the Bull Creek Street Gang, caught him smoking fools. On Wednesday night, Andre was out on the town with his boys when one of them suggested they get some loosies from Kim & Jia's, and smoke those fools. Of course, thanks to numerous public service campaigns -- and more than a few trials -- Andre knew the risks. But Andre isn't the type to disappoint his boys so he went along with the plan.
Political Ads Of Classic Monsters
Dracula EXT – MEDIEVAL BATTLEFIELD – DUSK Medieval European warriors fight against Arab invaders. In the distance, DRACULA appears on horseback. He is followed by a mounted regiment. They charge and crash into the front lines. ARAB INVADER (with fear in his eyes): Dracula! Other invaders hear the frightful name, drop their weapons, and flee. The European warriors raise their swords, and their voices, in celebration.
Steampunks Will Soon Be Replaced by Internal-Combustion Punks
What grew as an offshoot of the cyberpunk community, but with an aesthetic eye more backwards-looking rather than forwards-looking, the steampunks quickly took root and flourished on the open parking-lots of both comic and videogame conventions. Heavily inspired by Victorian fashion, and random bits of metal, the steampunks have been a staple in cosplay environments for decades.

Should Trump impose tariffs on China and Mexico?
Should Donald Trump impose a 35% tariff on the importation of goods from China and Mexico as he proposes to do once inaugurated? The short answer, for two reasons, is NO.Reason number one has to do with utilitarian ethics. Nearly all studies conducted by unbiased economists have found that trade restrictions are negative-sum games: There are more losers than winners, or the total losses exceed the total gains.

MY FACEBOOK PAGE VANISHED THIS MORNING
In a recent blurb I reported that most of the anti-Hillary memes I posted on my Facebook page had vanished shortly after I posted them. In retaliation, and as an exercise in free speech, I went out of my way to post even more anti-Hillary memes. As of this morning I no longer have access to my Facebook page. Coincidence? Just a computer glitch? Or something more sinister?
