SPOKANE COUNTY, Wash.
Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson said his team has been briefed and is in communication with Spokane County law enforcement officials.
"We've been through this before as a state, and that's the reality," Ferguson said on Tuesday night. "...It's heartbreaking in the extreme, and it's a reminder of what these individuals do every single day to keep us safe. They literally put their lives on the line. They run to the danger to try and protect people, and it's just such a terrible loss."
The Who – "Won't Get Fooled Again"
There's nothing in the streets
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Are now the parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight
I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again, no, no (no, no)
Yeah, yeah
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss

I don't use Facebook or that Lameoid Elon Musk's stupidly rebranded Twitter so I have to look at Instagram.
by me, Kerry Burgess, 07/30/2026 01:25 AM
The casual viewer will definitely not get it and I am not fully explaining it here.
No one could have guessed I would be making this sort of association now at this present time. I had no idea I would see this when I started working earlier on this note.
Would be a good place to close out this note.
I am still inclined to meet the full objectives I started off this note
So, two completely, absolute rando's from places I have never experienced
by me, Kerry Burgess, 07/30/2026 02:55 AM
So now how to find some rando tv journalists posting public content on Instagram
Plenty of you out there, sure. How to make it random.
Nebraska comes to mind looking the map. Never been there. Nothing about it makes me think of anything. Other than an episode of the tv-series "The Walking Dead". That reference in the tv-series "The Passage"
Maybe New Hampshire for the second.
This code of mine is virtually unbreakable.
Largely everything I have discovered over the years that is interesting because I looked at an image and then followed the line of thought it caused in my mind.

Season 1, Episode 37
A Small Talent for War
Air Date
Friday January 24, 1986
In the Security Council chamber of the United Nations, council representatives debate the arrival of an alien visitor. The USSR is deeply suspicious while the U.S. advocates trust. The emissary interrupts them by teleporting in. He explains that his race sped up evolution on thousands of planets two million years ago and have kept watch over the developing races since. However, the Earth has not progressed as fast as they hoped. Humans have "a small talent for war." The aliens find Earth's bickering over borders and Cold War stalemate disappointing, far short of the "better things" they bred them for. They plan to terminate the experiment on this planet. Within a day, their armada will arrive and exterminate all life on Earth. When the Soviet ambassador demands proof that they can do it, the emissary says cryptically, "keep watching the skies."

The Stand - complete edition, by Stephen King, author
excerpt, Chapter 37
At first Stu accepted the sound without question; it was such a typical part of a bright summer morning. He had just passed through the town of South Ryegate, New Hampshire, and now the highway wound through a pretty country of overhanging elms that dappled the road with coins of moving sunlight. The underbrush on either side was thick—bright sumac, blue-gray juniper, lots of bushes he couldn’t name. The profusion of them was still a wonder to his eyes, accustomed as they were to East Texas, where the roadside flora had nothing like this variety. On the left, an ancient rock wall meandered in and out of the brush, and on the right a small brook gurgled cheerily east. Every now and then small animals would move in the underbrush (yesterday he had been transfixed by the sight of a large doe standing on the white line of 302, scenting the morning air), and birds called raucously. And against that background of sound, the barking dog sounded like the most natural thing in the world.
He walked almost another mile before it occurred to him that the dog—closer now, by the sound—might be out of the ordinary after all. He had seen a great many dead dogs since leaving Stovington, but no live ones. Well, he supposed, the flu had killed most but not all of the people. Apparently it had killed most but not all of the dogs, as well. Probably it would be extremely people-shy by now. When it scented him, it would most likely crawl back into the bushes and bark hysterically at him until Stu left its territory.
He adjusted the straps of the Day-Glo pack he was wearing and refolded the handkerchiefs that lay under the straps at each shoulder. He was wearing a pair of Georgia Giants, and three days of walking had rubbed most of the new from them. On his head was a jaunty, wide-brimmed red felt hat, and there was an army carbine slung across his shoulder. He did not expect to run across marauders, but he had a vague idea that it might be a good idea to have a gun. Fresh meat, maybe. Well, he had seen fresh meat yesterday, still on the hoof, and he had been too amazed and pleased to even think about shooting it.
The pack riding easily again, he went on up the road. The dog sounded as if it was just beyond the next bend. Maybe I’ll see him after all, Stu thought.
He had picked up 302 going east because he supposed that sooner or later it would take him to the ocean. He had made a kind of compact with himself: When I get to the ocean, I’ll decide what I’m going to do. Until then, I won’t think about it at all. His walk, now in its fourth day, had been a kind of healing process. He had thought about taking a ten-speed bike or maybe a motorcycle with which he could thread his way through—the occasional crashes that blocked the road, but instead had decided to walk. He had always enjoyed hiking, and his body cried out for exercise. Until his escape from Stovington he had been cooped up for nearly two weeks, and he felt flabby and out of shape. He supposed that sooner or later his slow progress would make him impatient and he would get the bike or motorcycle, but for now he was content to hike east on this road, looking at whatever he wanted to look at, taking five when he wanted to, or in the afternoon, dropping off for a snooze during the hottest part of the day. It was good for him to be doing this. Little by little the lunatic search for a way out was fading into memory, just something that had happened instead of a thing so vivid it brought cold sweat out onto his skin. The memory of that feeling of someone following him had been the hardest to shake. The first two nights on the road he had dreamed again and again of his final encounter with Elder, when Elder had come to carry out his orders. In the dreams Stu was always too slow with the chair. Elder stepped back out of its arc, pulled the trigger of his pistol, and Stu felt a heavy but painless boxing glove weighted with lead shot land on his chest. He dreamed this over and over until he woke unrested in the morning, but so glad to be alive that he hardly realized it. Last night the dream hadn’t come. He doubted if the willies would stop all at once, but he thought he might be walking the poison out of his system little by little. Maybe he would never get rid of all of it, but when most of it was gone he felt sure he would be able to think better about what came next, whether he had reached the ocean by then or not.

excerpt, Chapter 37
He woke up sometime before midnight, bathed in sweat, afraid he had screamed. But in the next room, Glen Bateman’s breathing was slow and regular, undisturbed, and in the hallway he could see Kojak sleeping with his head on his paws. Everything was picked out in moonlight so bright it was surreal.
When he woke, Stu had been up on his elbows, and now he lowered himself back to the damp sheet and put an arm over his eyes, not wanting to remember the dream but helpless to avoid it.
He had been in Stovington again.

In Camille's room, she has Caine under hypnosis. His eyes are closed. Young is standing nearby.
WRAY: What do you see?
CAINE: Snow is falling.
(Inside his head, he is standing about a dozen paces away from the rear of the shuttle. The snow has been falling for some time and he has left deep footprints behind him. Wrapped in a blanket, he gazes up at the sky, realising that it doesn't look like it's going to stop snowing any time soon. He lowers his head unhappily and turns back towards the ship.)
CAINE (on Destiny): The shuttle is our only shelter now.
(A couple of blankets have been hung over the doorway and Caine pushes through to where the rest of the crew are wrapped in more blankets and huddled around a tiny fire in a metal bowl. All of them are shuddering.)
CAINE (on Destiny): It's so cold. We lost power days ago.
(He looks around at his friends, who stare back at him as they tremble with the cold. Peter's gaze is more than a little accusing.)
Dr. CAINE (on Destiny): Something vital has broken and none of us know how to fix it.

Weather - not climate - is a feature I use in my work with my original-work code-pattern
Weather can be directly modified so I must consider that fact, unprovable by me and my lack of resources
When Jeremy LaGoo - on the local live-tv news channel I prefer - uses the term "long range winter forecast" then he should laugh out loud
His segment I saw today - first broadcast yesterday, from their schedule - features his apology for last year.
But, nope, no apologies for this year. We're really in for it this year.
Sure, we probably got more snowfall *last year* and its mediocre totals than I saw my entire childhood in the south USA
Few days ago, compiled a list of observations I have made. Waiting until this years first snowfall to post it, for no reason other than I like the snowfall here in Spokane, and really, wish there was more. On average, accumulated snowfall each winter is almost 4 feet.
We haven't seen any yet but my guess is that it is certainly within about 10 days from now. No point looking for precision in any of their forecasts -from any source- beyond 2 days, 3 days at best.
Wanting to post a note on this, I decided to compile another list
As much as I hate the superstition of Christmas (never forget the true meaning of Christmas: Superstition!), Jeremy LaGoo did mention "white Christmas" in his long-range forecast so I have compiled a list of my observations for here in Spokane for the past 12 years I have been here and snowfall on Xmas Day.
I don't have any topics in mind presently for my next brilliant, I-am-the-world's-foremost-genius blog-post. I am going to view those final two episodes of "Invasion" season 3, not sure when. Perhaps the next episode of "Travelers" I have not yet viewed.
USS Missouri. Get it? After viewing episode 2 of "Pluribus"?
They're speaking words to me on Up With KREM on my tv-screen that makes me think of a topic to research in my original-work code-pattern
