Smile

Jan. 28, 2019

That smiling log will be turned into lumber and in turn will create a happy home.

Timberland Regional Library's "Expanded Access" trial run

Jan. 25, 2019

This keypad in front of the library is part of an upcoming trial run project called "Expanded Access" by Timberland Regional Library with McCleary being their sole laboratory. The idea is that library patrons will have access to the library from 7 am to 8 pm all week beyond the normal operating hours. There will be no library staff members present during the off hours.

This should be an interesting experiment in human nature.

The Christmas Light that Got Away

Jan. 7, 2019

On the corner of Simpson and Summit.

Run wild, little light, run free.

Legal pot

Jan. 7, 2019

Pot has been legal in Washington for awhile now, but even so this shy kitchen utensil took it's time in allowing itself to be seen out in the open. And today it stands proudly at the corner of Summit and Simpson for all to see. No more hiding! A legal pot!

But there might be a law about panhandling on the corner.

There goes the roof!

Jan. 7, 2019

A recent windstorm decided to strip off giant sheets of metal from the roof of one of the buildings at Simpson.

New innovation in playground equipment

Jan. 7, 2019

Yes, a new innovation in playground equipment-- a giant pile of gravel! Fun for the whole family and not as dangerous as many other playground distractions.

Mangled Monkey Bars

Jan. 7, 2019

No, not a tavern for maimed monkeys.

The park playground is being upgraded, although now it looks like the City is installing a wading pond. That forlorn pile of tangled mangled metal once served as the monkey bars for several decades. Rainbow Park is in the background.
