Topic: FSBO – Riverview $598k
Our beautiful home in Riverview is being offered for sale. Open houses this Saturday & Sunday!
Please visit link above to find out more. Some things we have loved about this house:We love the retreat of the master bedroom, the city view of the office, and the feeling of being in a private oasis in West Seattle.
It’s centrally located to all the amenities W. Seattle has to offer, and is easy to get to i-5, Hwy 99, and downtown. Even though it is a main street, the neighborhood is very quiet. The yard has been fully leveled with all-organic soil, and the beds are ready for your fall garden.The kitchen is super for entertaining, and is well laid out. It’s easy to cook or clean and talk to people too! There is great light, and the sunsets are amazing off both decks. The fireplaces are super cozy, and provide quick heat in the winter.
The way the house is situated on the street provides privacy – even though it is a smaller lot, there is a lot of seclusion. The 125 bus runs regularly, and there are usually plenty of cars2go in the neighborhood.
This house is low maintenance – everything works, it’s ready for your move in, and for you to start any project! (There are outlets EVERYWHERE.)
If there were icebergs floating down the Columbia river, he still wouldn’t admit it.
2013
With about three weeks of melting left, the summer minimum in 2013 is unlikely to be a record low, said Joey Comiso, senior scientist at Goddard and coordinating lead author of the Cryosphere Observations chapter of the upcoming report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. “ But average temperatures in the Arctic fluctuate from one week to another, and the occurrence of a powerful storm in August, as happened in 2012, could cause the current rate of decline to change significantly, †Comiso said.
This year, the Arctic has witnessed a few summer storms, but none of them as intense as the cyclone that took place in August 2012.
2016
While there are still three to four weeks to go in the melt season, a new record low this September is highly unlikely. A simple projection method developed by Walt Meier at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center uses daily ice loss rates from previous years to estimate possible trajectories of ice extent through the rest of the melt season.

Remarks of President Barack Obama as Delivered
Weekly Address
The White House August 13, 2016Hi, everybody. One of the most urgent challenges of our time is climate change. We know that 2015 surpassed 2014 as the warmest year on record – and 2016 is on pace to be even hotter.
At this point readers will notice that evidently the president is basing his statement on the surface temperature record, the most highly ” adjusted ” record set of the 4 or 5 global sets commonly referred to, by the liberal media and politicians. He does not mention the error margin in his claim, nor does he mentioned by HOW MUCH these claims are increasing over previous values.
Last year, that leadership helped us bring nearly 200 nations together in Paris around the most ambitious agreement in history to save the one planet we’ve got. That’s not something to tear up – it’s something to build upon.
Meanwhile, over at his State Department;
There are many countries – the most vocal outside of us probably India – but the reality is there would be many developing countries who would balk at having to do legally binding targets for themselves. They might be perfectly happy to ask for legally binding targets from developed countries, but we were not going to go back into a Kyoto structure of binding target commitments for developed countries but not for developing. We’re past that. That’s the backwards-looking world. It didn’t work. That’s not where we were going. So the notion of the targets not being binding was really a fundamental part of our approach from early on, and obviously something quite useful for us as well …..
In terms of congressional approval, this agreement does not require submission to the Senate because of the way it is structured. The targets are not binding; the elements that are binding are consistent with already approved previous agreements. So it would not be – I mean, I don’t want to speak in a definitive way, but it’s certainly not – I would just say that it’s not required. What actions are taken or not taken is a separate question, but it’s not required ….
…. there was no way you were going to be able to negotiate targets and timetables, as was done in Kyoto; and you were going to need to have a totally different kind of structure, a bottom-up structure which allowed countries to come in understanding that and feeling comfortable with the fact that they weren’t going to have to compromise their fundamental imperatives of development and growth and poverty eradication and so forth.
Found a baby squirrel out in the middle of the street about 3 hours ago. It was being attacked by a crow and screaming to no end. It couldn’t walk or jump well enough to even remotely get away from the crow. I know well enough not to mess with wildlife, but I think this one would have been dead shortly, so the wee one rapidly was put in a box in the shade outside my front door to rest. My vet’s office said to put it in a shady, protected area in the bushes after the crow(s) are gone (they keep coming back). I followed instructions on PAWS’ website to make a nest-box up and put in a tree if possible per this link, https://www.paws.org/assets/Uploads/documents/found-wild-baby-mammal.pdf
Just got a call back from PAWS and they are at full capacity. They suggested that Sarvey Wildlife Center in Arlington, (http://www.sarveywildlife.org/) may be able to help but I don’t have the ability to do this during the week due to work. Anyone on WSB involved with Sarvey? I think I remember from earlier days that a couple of folks out there might be.
I’ve made a little box for the wee one per the PAWS website, but I’m still worried. I don’t see any injuries on the little one, but I haven’t handled it at all to see much of it’s underbelly, other than to observe when it changes position while sleeping. Which it does often… and I’m hoping that is a good sign. It’s body is maybe 4 inches long and eyes may be on the cusp of opening (can’t tell for sure), but this really is a very young little creature. I’ve never seen a squirrel even remotely this young before, so I think it’s well too young to be on it’s own at all. The gal I spoke with from PAWS said he/she sounds too young to survive without a parent.
There have been absolutely no squirrels in the area at all since I found the little bugger and I’ve been checking regularly. No squirrel sounds either.
I know….it’s a squirrel….urban wildlife, etc. However, when you see a tiny little baby that is so tiny that it would likely fit in the palm of your hands screaming and a crow pecking at it – well…maybe I should have let nature take its course, but I couldn’t.
Anyone have any miracle-answers? Or able to help?
