A win in Idaho, and a reminder about React19 fundraiser in Spokane WA, October 25 - I do believe that eventually these mRNA shots will be shut down but sadly millions will have died or been disabled before that happens. This is what happens when you rush a vaccine to market without proper studies. Of course I personally believe that you cannot make a safe or effective vaccine. You just do not mess with mother nature. A researcher may see results in the lab but when you inject this stuff into a body and interfere with the natural flow no one can predict what will truly happen especially in the long term. And when billions of dollars in profit are at stake I do not trust any of them to tell the truth. COVID could have been treated without a vaccine and they knew it but there was no money in the repurposed drugs that were proven to save lives.

Gutter Tales from Spokane: Epic Stories of Drainage and Daring with The Roof Ninja & Kc

Hello, Spokane! 🏠✨ We're back with some epic tales of drainage and daring adventures from the dynamic duo at Veracity Gutter And Roof Cleaning, LLC (VGRC, LLC) — none other than The Roof Ninja AKA (FISK) and Kc! Our mission is to keep your homes pristine and protected with our top-notch gutter cleaning, roof blow-offs, roof washing, and house washing services in Spokane County, WA. 🌧️🚿

The Great Gutter Quest

It was a bright, sunny day in Spokane 🌞, perfect for another adventure with The Roof Ninja & Kc. We received a call from a lovely homeowner in Liberty Lake, WA, whose gutters were in dire need of attention. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a sight that would make any gutter cringe: leaves, twigs, and even a tennis ball lodged in the downspout! 🎾

With our trusty tools and ninja skills, we embarked on a quest to conquer the clogged gutters. 🥷🛠️ Kc, with her keen eye and steady hands, tackled the downspouts while The Roof Ninja swiftly removed debris from the gutters. As we worked, we couldn't help but laugh at the discovery of a tiny toy car nestled among the leaves — a true testament to the strange things we find in gutters! 🚗🍂

Roof Blow-Off Bonanza

Next, we moved on to a roof blow-off in Millwood, WA. The roof was covered in moss and pine needles, making it look more like a forest floor than a rooftop. 🌲🏡 

Armed with our high-powered blowers, we set to work. The Roof Ninja expertly navigated the roof, blowing off debris while Kc ensured the ground below remained spotless. 🌬️✨

The transformation was nothing short of magical. The roof went from drab to fab in no time! 🌟 As we wrapped up, the homeowner expressed their amazement at the difference, and we left with a sense of pride, knowing we had made another Spokane home shine. 🏠💖

House Washing Hijinks

Our next adventure took us to a charming home in Spokane Valley, WA. The exterior walls were coated in grime, and it was time for a thorough house washing.

💧🏡 Using our specialized soft washing technique, we applied the right cleaning solutions to break down dirt and algae without damaging the siding.

As we rinsed away the grime, we couldn't help but crack a joke: "Why did the scarecrow become a house cleaner? Because he was outstanding in his field!" 😂🤷‍♂️ The homeowner laughed and thanked us for bringing some humor along with our cleaning expertise. By the time we were done, the house looked brand new, and the homeowner couldn't stop smiling. 🏡😊

Choosing the Right Towing Service

When you're in an accident or find yourself facing a car breakdown on the road, it's important to know that there are professional towing services available. They will take care of your situation and get you on your way again as soon as possible. These companies also have a range of services to keep you safe, from light-duty towing to heavy-duty service.

The most basic of tow trucks at https://bigjimstowing.org/roadside-assistance/ is a standard flatbed truck, which can haul and secure cars or other vehicles. Some companies even offer heavy-duty tow trucks, which can handle tractor-trailers and other large commercial vehicles.

Wheel lifts are another type of tow truck, and they're a great option for small vehicles that may not have enough space to accommodate a standard flatbed. They use a series of large metal yokes under the drive wheels to lift and tow the vehicle using a winch.

Slides are another kind of tow truck, and they work similarly to wheel lifts. They place a slide underneath the rear of the truck and attach it to a hydraulic elevator, which helps to raise the bed and pull the vehicle up to the ground.

These tow trucks are a great option for people who have a flat tire or broken axle. They can be used to transport any type of vehicle, including SUVs and pickup trucks.

They're also great for people who are stuck in traffic, as they can help you get off the road while ensuring no damage is done to your car. Choosing the right tow truck can make all the difference between getting out of an emergency and facing further problems later.

The first step in finding a tow truck company is making sure they're licensed and insured. This is especially important for businesses who deal with heavy-duty vehicles. It's also helpful if they have a good relationship with major insurance providers.

Lastly, professional towing companies have reliable customer service. They'll answer any questions you have and make sure you understand your bill. They'll also have a call center that is open around the clock, so you can always contact them if you need help.

Some of the most popular Towing Spokane Wa companies also have their own repair shops, so they can help you with any minor repairs you need. This is an ideal way to save time and money, as you won't need to find a separate mechanic to do the job.

There are many different types of tow trucks, so it's important to choose a company that has the right equipment for your specific needs. They should have a wide range of specialized trucks and quick response times to get you where you need to be as quickly as possible.

A tow truck is an essential piece of equipment for any business. It can be used to tow anything from a car to a heavy-duty truck, so it's important to choose one that's capable of handling the tasks you need. Know more about towing at https://www.britannica.com/technology/truck-vehicle.

Headed west to Alaska

Alaska Traveler 55 

 I started writing about our first adventure in Old Harbor, Alaska in 2016 when my husband took a teaching job in the native Alutiiq village off the road system on Kodiak Island. Fast forward to 2020. We spent two years in Old Harbor, back in Minneapolis for two years and decided to return to Alaska in search of a less complicated life in a small community surrounded by nature. I sit here this morning a bit more than a week after our arrival, looking out at the ocean from my new digs. We are about a block from the ocean and I can see a spruce covered island a little ways out and the occasional fishing boat passing by in the drizzling rain. 

The journey to get here has been complicated by a pandemic, truck issues, and the uncertainty of what this new place would be like. As we did in our last adventure, we moved sight unseen to a house save a few grainy photos, knowing that this time, our place would be unfurnished.

So here we go again, this time at 55, I’m starting in a new community, a new house and some new adventures worth sharing.

8/2/2020

Today starts our journey back to Alaska. We are moving to a new village on Annette Island in Southeast Alaska, to Metlakatla, the only Native Alaskan reservation in Alaska. It has not been easy to figure out how to navigate such a move during a pandemic, added to this our daughter’s own battle with Covid-19 in June and July. 

Our original plan was to drive our truck to Bellingham, WA to catch the 30 hour ferry to Ketchikan, and then a second 45 minute ferry to Metlakatla. The Corona virus, however, had other plans. We found out in order to get on the ferry we would have to have a negative Covid test within 72 hours of our departure. This meant finding a location in Montana or Washington with a quick result turn around time. After numerous searches and calls, it turned out that Montana’s asymptomatic test results were taking 30 days so they decided to stop testing. We purchased an approved mail-in self-administered test for $100 each but their results are back in a minimum of 4-5 days. This meant the ferry was just not an option for us.

A week from departure, we booked a barge from Seattle for the truck, flights for us from Seattle to Ketchikan and shuffled hotel bookings. We also had to re-think packing as all the items on the truck would not arrive until up to a week after we arrive in the village. We’d be under day quarantine and couldn’t shop at the grocery. I put dishwasher soap in my boots, a couple of rolls of toilet paper and sheets in my suitcase. 

We traveled to Bismarck, North Dakota today, wearing masks at each rest stop and washing hands frequently. All people were wearing masks in Minnesota, and that changed as we crossed over the North Dakota line. Our hotel doesn’t seem to have many guests, but some were not wearing masks. We walked nearly a mile to get Mexican food and ate it back at our hotel. The restaurant had inside seating and while staff were wearing masks, the patrons were not.

8/3/2020

This morning we got up and carefully prepared our self-administered Covid-19 test. This required correctly labeling, collecting the nasal specimen and finding a UPS dropbox on our way out of town. We stopped at a co-op near our hotel with a great selection of items for our tailgate breakfast of coconut yogurt, blueberries and granola. One thing that the Broadband employee in Metlakatla requested when I called to set up our service, was some large Ball jar lids. Each year, families can up to a case of fish and this year the lids that normally go for $3.50 a dozen, are $12 on Amazon. I’ve checked several Menard’s in search of lids, including today in Bismarck. There were only empty shelves both here and in Minneapolis. 

The drive was rather similar to our eastern North Dakota landscape until we reached the Badlands with pastel sedimentary rock outcroppings. We passed Hebron that boasted the Historic Ft. Sauerkraut and a large cutout of a baby, dinosaur and buffalo fossils. Upon entering Montana, we had to stop and have the canoe inspected, ensuring we wouldn’t be bringing in unwanted marine life.  The rest stops were farther apart, and at gas stations, we noticed that not only were people NOT wearing masks, they were looking at us FOR wearing masks.

8/4/2020

No trip is complete without some sort of car trouble. Last night when Mike tried to move the car, it was dead. Maybe we left the lights on, or need a new battery. It could be the alternator at worst. A massive rain descended on the Radisson parking lot and we decided to wait until morning to figure it out. That makes for less than ideal sleep, and there was a fair amount of tossing and turning. In the morning Mike went to the battery store and got and installed the new battery with less than optimal tools. Of course the ones he needed were somewhere toward the back of the truck.  We re-tied down the canoe and started off. The battery light came on again, and as a precaution, we decided to stop in at an auto repair shop to see if they might be able to tighten down the battery. A wisened mechanic with a long beard came out and checked our connection after untying the canoe. Turns out the worst case scenario-the alternator. He held up four fingers when Mike asked is he’d be able to fix it today:  $400. Now we are sitting on a bench outside the shop on a busy road, watching all the other trucks go by and glad that we built in a cushion and a short trip today. The truck just pulled up finished in less than an hour and 15 minutes.

Back on the road, this our short day, hoping to get into Missoula early enough to find some dinner. Those plans were derailed as we rolled into Butte as our gauges stopped working. We pulled into the Thriftway gas station and our battery was dead…again. I called AAA and they said they would send out a truck by 5:00pm and tow us to their shop in Helena (an hour and a half away.) We knew we wouldn’t get to Missoula with this scenario and opted to call around and see if we could find another shop since it was almost closing time. Mike found a shop half a block away and they came and towed the truck back to their station. The AAA tow truck pulled up just as our truck was loaded onto the other tow truck.

Turns out our first replacement battery was bad and it fried the new alternator. We had to get a new battery and alternator and there were calls to the previous repair shop crediting us with the alternator, but still we had to pay for a new battery and the installation. The mechanics were helpful and stayed late to get our car back on the road by 6:30pm. We had 125 miles to travel to get to Missoula…back on the road again.

8/5/2020

Excited to have our truck fixed and get on our way to Washington state, we checked the oil, transmission fluid, battery connections and retied the canoe. Today we’d be doing our major shopping in Spokane, getting dry goods to load the truck as things are so much cheaper in the Lower 48.  Mike turned the key to start the truck and the familiar sound of the past two days-click-click-click signaled that our battery was dead.  Untie the canoe, jump the battery, and head for the nearest service station. We knew the drill.  We stopped by 2 stations before someone was able to assist. The battery we got in Missoula was also a dud. This means we had to purchase battery #3 in less than 24 hours. This time no cheap battery, AC Delco all the way. ARGH!! We were able to return battery #1 for a refund, before heading out and hoping that this would be our last time at a service station.

We made our way through Idaho and stopped in Coeur d’Alene for gas and lunch. The main shopping and restaurant strip was filled with people, not wearing masks. We opted to eat our own food at an empty rest stop instead. We did get to Costco in Spokane and shopped in a busy store with the temperature at 93 degrees. We threw our stuff in the back of an almost full truck and drove to Ellensburg, about 100 miles from Seattle. 

8/6/2020

After a night of re-shuffling our stuff and getting the truck re-packed for it’s barge journey, we drove through the misty rain to Seattle, stopping at Safeway for more last minute provisions, and a bit of gas. To go on the barge, the tank had to be less than a quarter tank, so we guessed how much we’d need before leaving it at Samson Tug and Barge. We also stopped at the Asian Grocery to load up on sauces, oils, noodles and other items (cases of beer) we’d likely not find in Metlakatla. 

Samson Tug inspected the truck and we made sure everything we needed for the next week was in our suitcase, then the barge service called a taxi and gave us a voucher for the trip to the Seattle airport. The airport was not busy and we didn’t have to wait in line for baggage drop or security. Most people were wearing masks in the terminal, but not all. Our flight was uneventful and we arrived in Ketchikan, picked up our bags and waited in line to show the negative Covid test results from our mail-in test that had arrived the night before. This gave us the “golden ticket” or in this case, the orange ticket that said we had had a negative test. The airstrip in Ketchikan is on Gravina Island and there is a 5 minute ferry ride to get to the town. 

Most people had to test in the parking lot on the Ketchikan side if they weren’t able to produce a negative test within 72 hours. We found the shuttle to our hotel and were happy to be closer to our new home.

8/7/2020

One more day to secure provisions before heading out on the ferry to our final destination. The shuttle took us to the grocery and furniture store, and our driver was from Metlakatla. We loaded up on meat, veggies and other perishables which we put in the large soft-sided Polar cooler that my brother gave us. It kept everything frozen and cold for the rest of the day. Back at the hotel while getting ready to leave, we saw US Senator Lisa Murkowski and spoke to her and had our picture taken by her brother.  She is a Republican Senator, but has been put on President Trump’s bad list and Mike thanked her for her independent voice.

All our groceries and luggage are loaded into the shuttle and we go across the street from the hotel to get onto the ferry. We have a cart to schlep everything down a long gang-plank and onto shelves in the ferry bow. The cars are loaded on and we spend the next 45 minutes on calm waters navigating through the channel of islands until we reach Metlakatla. We dock and unload our stuff, get told to quarantine for 14 days and hitch a ride with the school superintendent.  The ride from the ferry dock to town takes about 20 minutes. The previous dock was close to town but required an hour and a half to get there.  Ferry services run twice a day so technically you can go into town and return in the same day. Fare is $58 roundtrip per person. 

We are dropped off at the new turquoise, 4 bedroom home we’ll be living in. More next week about our first week in Metlakatla.

A small number of cots will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis upon check-in. How do I reserve a room? You must reserve your room by March 3, 2020 in order to receive the con rate and be in the room block with all the other cool kids con attendees. If you're looking for a roommate, we'll link that thread once we get closer to the con. To reserve a room online: 1. Go here. 2. Select your arrival/departure dates, your number of rooms/guests, your preferred bed configuration, and then provide your information. Our group code is PWC402. (Note that you can only add ONE additional person's name to your reservation, so give some thought to who is likely to arrive first. It can also be changed later if necessary.) A credit card is required to hold the reservation, but no deposit is required. (They do have a disclaimer that they can place a hold on your card for the full amount of your stay, but FWIW, we've never seen that happen.) NOTE: If you have ANY question or problem with the reservation process (for example, if you did not get the correct rate quoted to you, or it says it doesn't have your preferred bed configuration available), PLEASE call the toll-free number at 1-877-STAY-HGI and talk to a real person (tell them you're reserving for the Pacific Writers' Conference). If for some reason that still doesn't resolve things, contact us at pacificwriterscon [at] gmail [dot] com and we will contact the hotel. To reserve over the phone: Call the main reservation line at 1-877-STAY-HGI and tell them you're reserving for the Pacific Writers' Conference (that is our sekkrit spy codename to civilians!). Make sure you specify whether you'd like a king room or two queens. Again, if you have any trouble—if they tell you our block is full or that the con rate isn't available—contact pacificwriterscon [at] gmail and we will contact the hotel. Hotel Amenities Room amenities include: - mini fridge - microwave - 42-inch HDTV - FREE wireless high-speed internet throughout the hotel Hotel amenities include: - on-site restaurant (including a bar) - room service - pool and hot tub - fitness center - free parking - complimentary shuttle available for transport within a five-mile radius of the hotel Check-in starts at 3 p.m., check-out is at noon.

If you want to check out the lay of the land before then, Google Maps is your friend (see the hotel link above). Con events The con will officially run from 9 a.m. on April 4th until 5 p.m. on April 5th, with an optional movie night and other activities to get the ball rolling on the evening of April 3rd, and post-con movie-watching on the evening of the 5th. Panels Panels are being organized by the ConComm, with help from you. Final list of panels will be linked here once they are available. Always check out the panels tag for the latest info! Vidshow There will be a vidshow on Saturday night, details TBD. Check out the vidshow tag for the latest info! Room parties Room parties are totally encouraged (as long as noise is kept to a respectful level that won't get us in trouble with other guests/the hotel)! Please note, however: NO alcohol is allowed in the main con ballroom (except via the cash bar on Saturday night). Feel free to drink/eat whatever you want in your sleeping rooms. A list of things we will not have, because we are all casual and stuff: No celebrity guests (y'all are rockstars enough for us) No art show No dealers No free meals besides hors d'oeuvres on Saturday and breakfast on Saturday & Sunday What we do have is LOVE, people. SO MUCH LOVE. And bacon! Getting to the con: By air Airport You'll probably want to fly into Seattle-Tacoma (Sea-Tac) International Airport. Getting from the airport to the hotel The hotel is about 20 miles from Sea-Tac. The most affordable option is to take the light rail and connect to a bus; the light rail will get you from the airport to downtown Seattle for $2.50, and from downtown, there are several buses to Issaquah (average $2.50 fare) that will drop you off at the Issaquah Transit Center on 17th Ave NW, less than half a mile from the hotel (see the Metro Online Site for more info). Otherwise: - Taxi (in the vicinity of $55-$65 plus tip), Uber, or Lyft - Shuttle service - When the con gets closer, we'll open up a thread for anyone who wants to try to coordinate cab/shuttle-sharing with other attendees. - Rent a car (see below for driving directions) Getting to the con: Not by air The thread for roadtrip coordination will be posted closer to the con and linked here. By train or bus Amtrak and Greyhound both have stations in downtown Seattle. From there, you're about a 20-minute drive away from Issaquah. See below for driving directions. Local bus service is, as I said, not all that comprehensive, but it is pretty easy from downtown--the Metro Online site is here if you'd like to check out your options. By car: driving directions - As long as you are not east of Issaquah (including from Sea-Tac airport), take (as applicable) I-5 N, I-5 S, I-405 N, or I-405 S to I-90 E (toward Spokane). If you're east of Issaquah, take I-90 W. - From I-90, take exit 15 (WA-900 / 17th Ave NW). - Turn right at the light onto 17th Ave NW. - About a block down, turn right onto Gilman Blvd (by the Burger King). - The hotel will be about a block ahead of you on your right, behind the John L. Scott building. The hotel is here on Google Maps. Getting to the con: Other Travel by War Rig, Bifrost, tour bus, dog sled, Goat Van, stargate, wormhole, battlestar, firefly, TARDIS, Leviathan, Chevy Impala, Mystery Machine, or similar to be arranged by individual attendees. Roommates, rideshares, and airport transportation coordination Roommate, rideshare, and cab/Lyft/shuttle-share threads will be posted closer to the con! Weather It does not, in fact, rain ALL the time in Seattle. However, in the springtime, it tends to rain quite a bit. Bring a waterproof jacket if you have one, and maybe an umbrella if you plan to be out and about (though the hotel also has a few umbrellas you can borrow). Temperatures will probably be in the 50s/low 60s, but given climate change shenanigans, we cannot safely predict the weather. Basically, layers are highly recommended—not only is Seattle weather changeable (it snowed at our first BP; WHAAAT), but so are hotel temperatures (especially in meeting spaces, where they tend to crank the air conditioning), so being able to take off/add clothes as necessary is your best bet. Tourist information Downtown Seattle is about a 20-minute drive from Issaquah (up to about 45 minutes with traffic). For information about tourist activities available in the area, you can visit this site. Who's flying this thing? The mod team is intransitive, jedusaur, & pi. General questions/concerns/etc. should go to the ConComm at pacificwriterscon [at] gmail   Questions about registration should go to the ConComm at pacificwriterscon [at] gmail as well. As we get closer, we'll update this post with panel, vidshow, and other contact info, but the entire ConComm has access to the above email, and the appropriate person will answer any questions that come up, so that email address is your best bet! We're trying to tag posts as much as possible for ease of navigation. To view all the tags for the community, go here. See you in April!

Fight with Bree

My name is Bree Baslington. I have been struggling with Lyme Disease for the past nine years of my life, all the while striving towards a better future for myself and others like me. I was born and raised in Spokane Valley, WA, only moving away to progress my treatments. Until I started to get sick, I was a very active member of the community; participating in all kinds of sports, volunteering, and working with children at the city’s day camp.

Moving away from Spokane was a difficult decision for me considering how little support I would have in the Seattle area, but it was one that I do not regret. I chose to move to Woodinville, WA in May of 2016 after avoiding the move for several months prior. There I became a full-time patient at Sophia Health Institute, seeing multiple doctors at a time, receiving daily IVs, and numerous injections. Without the time I spent there, I would not be here today.

During one of my trips to Spokane during the holiday season, my father and I were in a car accident that destroyed most of my possessions including the majority of my medical supplies and tools, as well as broke my back. I suffered an L1 burst fracture that left me in severe chronic pain. I spent three months in a back brace, requiring a special hospital bed and equipment to remain semi-functional without help. Replacing all of my medical equipment as well as purchasing more drained the remainder of my medical funds and left me struggling to make ends meet.

As time progressed in Woodinville, the treatments began to get more and more of a financial burden. With the cost of living rapidly increasing in the area, and the medical bills piling up, I chose to move back to the Spokane area in order to regroup and start to save in order to go back. The cost of care at Sophia Health Institute is purely dependent on how well I am doing at any given time, but typically it cost anywhere from $7,000- $10,000, or more a month.

My goal is to one day go to medical school and become a doctor that helps others the way so many of my doctors have helped me. Being twenty-five, this seems like a hefty goal, but I am used to defying the odds and pushing myself past the limits that others have placed on me. More than anything, what I want to do is inspire others like me that they can be more than their diagnosis.

For me, being healthy is not as simple as staying focused on treatments for a fixed amount of time, my condition is chronic meaning that I will be always need some form of treatment to manage my condition. That being said, my hope is to start to work more and more as I progress in my journey to a healthier life, but that is easier said than done. As of right now, I am able to work a few hours a week- something I never thought I’d be able to do at this point in my treatment. Soon, I hope to go back to college and begin working on my bachelor’s degree and eventual doctorate.

Now that I have recovered as much as I can from the car accident, I am in a place to continue to push forward towards my goal of managing my Lyme to a place that allows me to work more consistently and go back to college. In order to do this, I need to make another big step in my health journey; receiving treatment in Europe.

When I was sixteen, I had my wisdom teeth removed in an attempt to stop my headache. Long story short, because of my compromised immune system I ended up with an infection in my jaw (cavitation) that prevents my head from draining properly thus pushing the majority of my infection in my brain. German medicine has the technology to circumnavigate the nerves near where my wisdom teeth used to be, so they are the only ones who can fully clean out the infection. On top of this, I also need cryotherapy on my tonsils. My tonsils were removed when I was a sophomore in high school after suffering severe tonsillitis, but over time with my weakened immune system, one has begun to grow back- full of infections. This new tonsil has a very high likelihood of becoming cancerous if I do not take action soon. The nature of these procedures may seem fairly harmless, but because of the severity of my condition and my current heart problems will require me to seek addition support. My hope is to not only have doctor support in Europe, but also a full-time caregiver to help get me from appointment to appointment. On top of scrambling to pay for my basic every day needs, I am trying my best to save enough to travel for these surgeries.
