Some things just make you say aww...

Here's the story behind this photo from Eastside Firefighters Local #2878 Facebook page:

Well today we received a call from a concerned farm hand at the Rock Meadow Farms. Apparently one of the small owlets fell from the nest atop the large barn. They really wanted to get him home and had no idea what to do. The crew at Station 73 in the Issaquah Highlands was more than happy to give it a try. So they took their Ladder truck, squeezed it into the barn raised the stick and ta da! Baby owl back home!

If you find birds out of the nest, here are some helpful guidelines from the Audobon Society.

I thank the author for his well thought out arguments regarding these important transportation…Read More issues in Washington state. While I believe some of the ideas presented are debatable, for example I believe that a vital and well used transit system ought to be part of our congestion relief plan in metropolitan areas, the lack of realistic funding options for this system cannot be ignored. However, our legislature (both parties included) seems to place a higher priority on "no new taxes" than creating a sustainable future for the state in many areas, including the transportation system. More than that, though, we live in a state whose citizens have varied interests and priorities. Most of all, we need our government to set priorities so that citizen interests and needs can be reasonably served. It seems we are pretending that we can base tax policies and tax rates exclusively on individual self-interest, as is often the consequence "no new taxes" scheme (e.g. if I don't get a direct benefit for myself, I won't support paying for it). This seems to me to be as much a part of this problem as current transportation system priorities.
