Later this month I have to attend 6 Zoom sessions for training, so requiring attention and participation. Because I have dogs in the house, and can’t afford to kennel them each day, working from home is not ideal. Is there any space here in SV with power supply where I could set up? The public library cannot help.
Calling your attention to the postcard mailing, addressed to “SV resident”, from a team at the U of Oregon: they will be here next week to interview SV and Chuckanut residents as to what sort of advance measures we are taking to guard against wildfires.

Aside from mitigating the downsides of our HOA (the phrase “community association” is misleading and undeserved), and the wily ways of the lobbyist, I believe that an HOA is wholly inappropriate for a land mass this extensive and disparate, for a part of the county this vulnerable, valuable and potentially hazardous to its ecosystem, and for a resident population with such opposing interests/needs. I can understand how it came to be, but it has not and maybe cannot live up to its inevitably public responsibilities (charter and bylaws be damned).
And failure to attend the fire chief’s recent information session does not mitigate either the macro or the micro problem.
I read the excellent unofficial summaries of board meetings that u/threehappygnomes posts here, and I have the marked up version of the bylaws, and I’ve followed the marina issue, but it feels like something important’s missing. Could be partly my attention span.
For example, pros and cons aside, [EDIT] Shouldn’t [changes in bylaws] at least wait until a newly elected board/majority coalesces? Is it true that the relevant state code was lobbied in by the lawyer for a former boardroom?
It’s a problem that the current board gets to make a decision like whether to solve an environmental problem by the simplest, least-effort strategy (putting glyphosate into Lake Louise and ultimately Lake Whatcom), rather than tacking it by building on the efforts of Bryan Burke. Surely there are 40 people in the area who could volunteer to uproot rhizomes in a wide scale! But aside from that, shouldn’t this be decided by scientists at the County?
Matthew Fontaine Maury was born in 1806 in Virginia, USA, and joined the U.S. Navy as a young officer. A leg injury ended his career at sea, but it led him to devote his life to studying the oceans.
Maury collected and analyzed thousands of ships' logbooks, identifying patterns in ocean currents, winds, and weather. Using this data, he created the world's first scientific wind and current charts, allowing ships to choose faster and safer routes across the oceans.
His discoveries significantly reduced travel times, saving both time and money for sailors and merchants. In 1855, he published The Physical Geography of the Sea, widely regarded as the first modern textbook on oceanography.
Known as the "Pathfinder of the Seas," Maury helped transform navigation from guesswork into a science. His pioneering research laid the foundation for modern oceanography and influenced maritime navigation around the world for generations.
Hard to find: cotton, not thick or soft, not waffle weave or linen. Surface loops are distinct, visible. Drying off with them feels like scrubbing, exfoliating, vigorous. I have some inherited from an ancestor; I think they were standard or at least more common back in the day.
Edit: is there a specific name for this type? Can anyone suggest a source?
Please suggest a local lawyer to write a very simple will for me. I have an out-of-state will that could be revised for Washington law, or used as a model. Minimal assets, so hoping for reasonable cost.
and then devours it without first killing it?
I recently graduated from college and am looking for jobs in the animal field (zoos, wildlife rehab, etc.) in Virginia. I noticed the Natural Bridge Safari Park is hiring for a lot of positions. However, I was kind of thrown off some things and am wondering if anyone has any experience working here. I was also was wondering how good the conditions the animals here are kept in. I appreciate any information!
I read somewhere that in every dysfunctional family, look to the person with no symptoms to find the source of the problems. Can any of the therapists out there boost its credibility with a citation? I’ve found it to be very accurate in my own family.

Jay Jones released no information on where or how the giraffes were found, citing an “ongoing criminal investigation” that’s been going on for more than a year.
