We were coming home from dog class, this past Saturday, when I saw this stunning view of Mount Rainier.

The Traveling Clatt takes aim on Rapper Macklemore and his support of the Pro Palestine movement. This is a continuation of yesterday's post, which also linked to this video.

Macklemore releases new song supporting Palestine, college protests amid...
This is surprising, but not shocking, Macklemore, local rapper doing a Pro Palestine song and video, which is well within his rights and does have a right to disagree, but, couple that with his act at the EMP, almost exactly 10 years ago, where he went out of his way to apologize for the egregious anti-semetic display, it is sad and unfortunate.
I think that he is indeed off base to attack this issue without a more well rounded approach.

Bob Hoagland--Father-In-Law And Mentor
Bob is on the left. This picture was taken for the Crossroads Shopping Center newsletter in 2008. This is a copy of my Facebook post from yesterday (May 7th, 2024).
Deb and I are sad to announce the passing of my father-in-law Bob Hoagland. A father figure, business partner, and loving family member.
A native of Massachusetts, Bob and Lynn Hoagland moved here to the Seattle area after living in several towns on the East Coast. After a career in hotels and restaurants, he purchased three UPS Store franchises in Bellevue. He would eventually bring my wife and I into the ownership group where we enjoyed meeting and serving people in the area, making lifelong friends.
Bob enjoyed serving the community as a member of the Bellevue First Congregational Church, Rotary, and volunteering at the Puget Sound Blood Center and the Salvation Army Food Bank. He loved playing golf.
Bob was known as a hard worker and a devoted family man. He deeply loved his twin daughters, Debra Barer and Donna Hoagland Wagner his sons in law, two grandsons and grand dogs.
A celebration of life will be planned for next month (June 2024).

The zebra got out with 3 others on April 28th on it's way to a petting zoo in Montana. The other three were captured within hours, leaving this one on the run for a week.
