*Family Phil feels he's been bamboozled by the fear-mongering media re: the degree of threat that molesting monsters like Joseph Edward Duncan III pose to society here. And he's running photo after photo of lake shots in his Tall Trees blog, so he can think cool this August here.

*CDADave has a word of caution re: all those scamming spammers who announce by e-mail that you've won one European lottery or another here. And he has his Wayback Machine focused on a CDA residential district here.

*Josef/Josef's Public Blog sends along an Evergreen Freedom Foundation calculator that shows how much money the state of Washington is spending at this moment here.

*Dunno how Bre/To Blog Or Not To Blog is still standing after dealing with a bachelor party thrown by her hubby and friends here.

*Marianne Love/Slight Detour discusses the maiden 2005 voyage of the 1966, 16-foot Starcraft outboard that she bought for $1,800 here.
