My wife found a cozy place to spend part of the shortest day of the year, on a blustery Saturday. Our Newfoundland Dolly keeps her extra warm.

The Renton Reporter published a great story on Toni Nelson’s years of council service and her involvement in the Renton community. I had the pleasure of sitting next to Toni at the city council dais for almost a decade, as we worked through countless issues. She was a lot of fun, she knew everything going on in our city, she put the community above everything else, and she was great at running meetings. We will miss her. I wish her the very best in her retirement.
I added some personal viewpoint information on my earlier blog about firearms, and the supreme courts decision to take the issue up. While this is not an issue that is before the city, and probably won’t ever be, if the supreme court did change the meaning of the second amendment it could become a city or state issue. I didn’t want to keep you guessing, so I added my opinion into the comment dialogue. Click here to see it Feel free to comment back if you agree or disagree.
Investigators are still piecing together the events that lead to the death of the jogger on Duvall a week ago. Our police are going to have to put together and document many details. While surfing the web, I found the blog of a personal injury attorney who described the legal issues that can come up if the driver in this Renton case claims a medical condition, including a sneezing or coughing fit.
