KirklandZoo: Cash for ClunkerZ
http://kirklandzoo.blogspot.com/2009/08/cash-for-clunkers.html
Not a very active blog about life and living in the Pacific NorthWest (all pictures are clickable). Sunday, August 09, 2009. CAR Allowance Rebate System - is not a bad idea to stimulate the economy, but it is far too lenient when someone can go and trade in his old Chevy pickup truck. For just another pick-up truck (albeit a new Ford F-150). No, if you are getting free money (tax payer provided), you should really be forced to select a vehicle that gets MUCH better fuel ecomony than a F-150 truck. The Da...

KirklandZoo: December 2008
http://kirklandzoo.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Not a very active blog about life and living in the Pacific NorthWest (all pictures are clickable). Saturday, December 27, 2008. For us used to driving in this "stuff", it has just been fun and interesting. Feeling a big 4x4 slowly tug its way through gigantic snow drifts is an amazing feeling. Why spend tons (literally) on salt and other environment (not to neglect the impact on the cars) damaging chemicals, when we all know the snow will be gone in a few days? Just roll with it.

Not a very active blog about life and living in the Pacific NorthWest (all pictures are clickable). Friday, December 24, 2010. Hence, better check the slide show. All that said, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New 2011! And to be totally honest, photos were not taken until after New Years, and not uploaded uploaded until the 6th of January, so if you feel you got shafted, don't take it personal - everyone did this year (again).

KirklandZoo: AmaZing weekend at the Lake and SeaFair
http://kirklandzoo.blogspot.com/2009/08/amzing-weekend-at-lake-and-seafair.html
Not a very active blog about life and living in the Pacific NorthWest (all pictures are clickable). Monday, August 03, 2009. AmaZing weekend at the Lake and SeaFair. Spent the entire weekend out on the lake, and started out by sleeping onboard Friday night. Better to do that, than to fight the rowdy crowds at the ramp on Saturday morning. On top of that, there was absolutely NO spots available down at the marina, so a night at anchor was a much better solution. To survive the hardship (? Coming back, we ...

KirklandZoo: August 2008
http://kirklandzoo.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Not a very active blog about life and living in the Pacific NorthWest (all pictures are clickable). Friday, August 08, 2008. What iZ wrong with people? The vocal minority has gotten upset over (somewhat) hot babes serving the morning java. It is a free market, and if these genius coffee marketers manages to get a "leg up" on the competition, the better. If you do not like these "servers", I can assure you that there are lots of "traditional" coffee stands to choose from as well. Links to this post.

Not a very active blog about life and living in the Pacific NorthWest (all pictures are clickable). Thursday, December 24, 2009. These three photos do not show any of the hassles in getting one wife, one dog and four cats into the same "session" in order to get some X-mas photos for this year (and if you pay attention, we never managed to get all four cats "together"). Hence, better check the slide show. All that said, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New 2010! Links to this post. Hans, Palo Alto.
