realitycatcher-alapoet.blogspot.com In the Kitsap County town of Bremerton, Washington, just being a veteran of the armed forces doesn't mean you get to march in the Armed Forces Day Parade. You'd better support Bush's lies about the war in Iraq if you want to participate -- else, forget it! Hey, Bremerton city officials -- how's the view with your head up your ass? So now, does being a veteran doesn't mean you can't have a political opinion? Wait a minute... I thought it was freedom they were fighting for?! Why don't you just be honest and put up a big "Republicans Only" sign? Shame on you. And big kudos to KOMO 4's Ken Schram for calling you on your bs!

Taken in 2008 with my fishing buddy Bob Johansen, Wildcat is large enough to hold some nice fish but small enough to be overlooked. Give it a try for planted rainbow. It also holds largemouth bass and good bass structure throughout the lake. Has an acceptable launch ramp and parking area, limited shoreline access. A nice county park is also on the lake.

Have you ever seen a "Snowbow"? In this video we go from sunny blue skies to a snow shower with a snowbow. A snow shower is moving northbound up the Puget Sound in what is known as a convergent zone in our area. The convergent zone is created by the winds flowing from the west and going north and south of the Olympic Moundains. In this video we are viewing from the north end of Kitsap County Washington over the the Southern tip to Whidby Island.
