The number one most memorable smell in the U.S. is Coffee. It is hard to believe that there was a time when coffee was something you drank at home with dessert after dinner. There are some places where the cravings are so bad that there are 2 coffee stands on the same corner of the street and three more on the other side.

At school I have ended up with the stereotype of being the "girl with the photographic memory", at work the "only person who doesn't drink or do drugs" and within my group of friends, the "innocent girl".

For those who don't know Dylan and Shasta Groene were kidnapped and taken across state lines by a repeat sex offeneder. Dylan was killed and Shasta was raped and later found.

There are basically two opinions here in Spokane and the state is pretty split. The people in society are either for or against the law. It seems that there is more harm being done in the argument to decide wether to pass it or not. People are picketing and being nasty in the news and around town, tearing down signs and painting over them.  Read More »
