As I write this, the autumnal equinox is upon us – the day of the year when light and dark are served in equal measures. It’s the perfect reminder that fall is coming and with it my annual fall rituals. Rituals may be too heady a word. These rituals don’t involve dancing in the moonlight as much as scouring plant catalogs for seeds, spring bulbs and dahlias.
Along with kangaroos, koala bears and Nicole Kidman, list eucalyptus as one of the great gifts from Australia to the world. Nearly all the 800 species of this remarkable genus are native to The Great Down Under.

It's hard to believe that a band conceived from a Jimi Hendrix song has become something of a legend themselves. When Sky Cries Mary takes to the Nuemos stage on Saturday, Aug. 9 - their first Seattle gig since February - the six-piece psychedelic trancers will be just a few months shy of their 20th anniversary.

Nonprofits throughout the country are having a tough time: more people are calling for help and fewer volunteers are surfacing to help them.

In mid November the Seattle branch of the English Speaking Union hosted a VIP speaker at a reception attended by over fifty ESU members including several Queen Anne and Magnolia residents. The speaker, Brian Monteith was on the last stop of his tour of the West Coast ESU branches comprising region VIII. His final stop was in our fair city before returning to Scotland.

I hate your quaint little "downtown"littered with antique shops,luxury cars and SUVswith Ivy League stickers,an oak tree every quarter blockas if the sidewalks were designed by an obsessive compulsive mathematician.
Prowl of the weekAn unlocked Jeep was prowled in the garage of a home in the 1400 block of Fifth Ave. W. sometime between midnight Nov. 22 and 4 the next afternoon.The victims figured out something was up after one of them spotted a duffel bag that didn't belong to them lying in the driveway, according to the report, which notes a bunch of stuff in the Jeep's center console had been taken out and left on the front seat. The only thing that appeared to be missing was the garage-door opener, though.The victim who spotted it has a theory about the duffel bag, according to a police report filed the next day. He figures motion-sensor lights probably spooked the prowler, who took off in such rush that he - or she - left the bag behind.Police found the duffel bag contained "multiple burglary tools" and some personal items. It was placed into evidence.
