International Geologist touring Beach Drive

Pa270051

You may have noticed a tour bus with a large group wandering along the waterfront of Mee Kwa Mooks down to Beach Drive and Jacobsen.  Apparently it is a group of American and Japanese geologist studying earthquakes and tsunami’s and they stopped here for a tour before beginning their conference.   The geologist that I briefly taked to stated that they are interested in this area because of the similarities to California and Japan. 

Rock Stacks at Emma Schmitz Memorial Overlook

Are these artistic arrangements done by the same person who sent us these photos last year?

Check Out Ruby: Beach Drive Blog’s Pet of the Week

Orson and I bump into Ruby during our walks.  I can confirm that she is one big sweetheart.  But don’t take my word for it, here’s her photo and what her humans have to say about her.

Testruby_009

This is Ruby our Bulldog. She’s almost 6 years old but still acts like a puppy. She loves hide and go seek, swimming, obstacle courses (paints a picture doesn’t it) and chasing her rubber chicken . She is working to be a therapy dog and is a huge people lover.  You’ll see her walking with Gail or Jodie along the park many times a day.  Feel free to stop and pet her – she’s very friendly!!

Take Winter By Storm

This windy rainy day should be enough to remind us of how serious our winter weather can be.  The Seattle of City along with King County and Puget Sound Energy have teamed up to create a website to help bring awareness to what the public can do (and not do) in nasty weather.

We do our best with "barking dog reports" to let you know when we’re preparing to hunker down at our home.  Now’s as good as time as any to make sure you have what you need in the event of a big storm where we possibly lose power or flood.   Perhaps you’d like to adopt a drain to help out the streets in our neighborhood?
