I found out yesterday that N/A does not necessarily mean not applicable. I went up to Canada, which is only about 20 miles from Bellingham. Now that the Canadian dollar is worth more, many Canadians come to the US to shop. Then, with school being out, that is quadrupled. Supposedly, to help travelers at each side of the border -- prior to the exits for alternate routes -- a freeway sign that updates is installed and it predicts border waits at the different crossings. Yesterday, it  said that the truck crossing was a 25 minute wait. It said that the Peace Arch, the main crossing, was N/A.  Not applicable? That says to me that the border wait would be not applicable, as in minimal wait. I found out that I was wrong in how I interpreted that. I am just not smart enough to figure out gover... 07/24/2008

As many of you know, I live in Blaine, Washington. Not only do I live in Blaine, but I LOVE Blaine! The other night, my husband and I were cleaning up after dinner and there was a knock at the door - not unusual with the rush of school fundraisers this time of year...My husband answered the door, talked for a while, and came back in. When I asked who was at the door, he said, "Jason Overstreet; the guy running for the City Counsel" (for those of you not from the area - it's a very contested position) but before he could finish his sentence, I was out of the house trying to get Jason's attention and ask him some questions. He and his wife were "pounding the pavement" and turned around when they realized I wanted to talk...Not only did Jason and his wife listen to me (actively - you know,... 10/31/2007
