NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and Seahawks coach Jim Mora are ready for a big trek — up Mount Rainier.
A hiker who lost his life on Mount Rainier lay down in the snow and used his body's warmth to protect his wife and a friend from the 70-mph winds of a freak June blizzard, national park officials said.
It struck me like a hit-and-run car tossing me off the hood. This month makes it forty years since the first time I visited Mount Rainier.
No Bull Bill: Gates' blunt legacyThe message to top Microsoft Corp. executives wasn't that different from many others -- written by an aggravated Windows user who simply wanted to install a piece of the company's software on his computer. Except that it was Bill Gates venting his frustrations.
Mount Rainier. If you live in Washington State, you usually just refer to it as 'the mountain'. The others have names.
Like some of you, it only SEEMS as if I live at Newsvine. I used to write up to thirty original articles a month, including all those images I'm always adding to the articles. I think an original article without pictures comes off a little naked, somehow. I just can't help myself.
People keep telling me I should take the truck when I go out on trips. It's newer. It's bigger. Probably safer. Blah blah blah. You see, I have this '87 Subaru that I just can't retire. I've taken that poor wagon places most cars would refuse to go, and put it through hell.
Anyone who lives in Washington State knows Mount Rainier IS Washington. Have no illusions. If Rainier suddenly exploded like Mount St Helens did, three-quarters of the population would leave in depression and disgust. As Rainier exists, so does the Evergreen State.
I don't mind calling myself an idiot in this story. You can file it under True-Life Stupid Adventures.
REVEALED: Three Finalists for the New Washington QuarterWell, I guess the second one is the nicest in my opinion. They're all kinda ugly, I think. Gov. Gregoire has the final say. Yippee.
