Welcome to my web site. I hope that you enjoy your visit.

In the near future, I am going to be moving this web site to a different URL. After I complete the change, I will publish the reason(s) that I changed the URL.

This page is divided into these sections: technical requirements for using this web site, such as internet browsers, window width, etc.; childfree section, which includes the definitive childfree definition, a link to The Childfree or Not Childfree Test and a description of the three childfree holiday weekends that I created, Childfree Women's Weekend, Childfree Men's Weekend and Childfree Pride Weekend; petfree section, which includes the definitive petfree definition and a link to The Petfree or Not Petfree Test; Agnostics and Atheists section, which includes a link to my Disavowal of Christianity Letter Page, a link to my Disavowal of Unitarian Universalism (UU) Email and descriptions of two special events, that I created, Evolution Weekend and Darwinmas Eve/Darwinmas Day; a section about U.S.A. Constitutional issues and a remembrance of September 11, 2001; problem entities section; St. Louis Cardinals! World Series Victory in 2006 remembrance section; weather section, which includes the current weather conditions for Clinton, WA, Freeland, WA, Seatac, WA, Seattle, WA and Stampede Pass, WA; and web rings section - A web ring is a collection of web sites within the same subject that are linked together by a navigation system.  Through the navigation system, the visitor can visit the other web sites of a web ring.  Web rings are a way for sites to generate more traffic by encouraging users to visit the other web sites within a web ring.  For example, one web ring contains web sites with landscape photography.

I designed my web site for a window with a width of at least 1024 pixels and for Firefox versions 3.0.1 and higher, Opera versions 9.52 and higher, Microsoft Internet Explorer (MSIE) versions 7 and higher. I currently test my web site with Firefox 3.6.10, Opera 10.10 and MSIE 8.0.6001.18702. I recommend that you stay away from Opera versions after 10.10 because Opera has turned into a RAM hog and some other problems. Opera versions after 10.10 use 1.5 times to 2 times more RAM compared to Opera 10.10. Opera versions after 10.10 cannot remember the order of at least two windows when restarting. To see my photographs with good quality, your video display board will need to display at least 16.7 million colors and your browser must support color management, which uses ICC profiles. Firefox 3.6.6 supports color management in that it supports only ICC profile Version 2. MSIE and Opera do not support color management. To see if your browser supports color management, go to Is your system ICC Version 4 ready?. Apparently, returning to this home page or to a previous page on this web site is not so easy. So, to get to a previous page or previous pages on this web site, you will need to use your browser's Back button or your browser's context menu's Back menu-item.

This is the childfree, notice the spelling, section. The correct spelling is childfree; the incorrect spellings are child-free and child free.

Childfree definition or definition of childfree :   A non-parent or a non-guardian who supports abortion rights for all women, is not childless, is not a fence-sitter, has not, is not and will never procreate, has not, is not and will never be any type of parent, and has not, is not and will never be any type of guardian of a minor. If you are against abortion rights, then you are not childfree.

The former owner of a childfree group picked me to be the new owner on Wednesday, 2010/03/31. The group was a No Kidding chapter until 2007/11 at which time one of the previous owners/leaders changed the group name because the owner decided to end the group's relationship with No Kidding. My group will not rejoin No Kidding because No Kidding allows the non-childfree to join. Specifically, No Kidding allows the childless, people who want children, and stepparents be members, and allows parents to attend group functions as stated on the No Kidding web site's "Who Can Join?" page. I renamed my group to Childfree USA Washington on Saturday, 2010/08/14. If you live in Washington and meet my group's other membership requirements, then I invite you to apply for membership in my group. Here is a list of thirty-six cities/towns in Washington, excluding Whidbey Island, ordered by population: Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma, Vancouver, Bellevue, Everett, Spokane, Federal Way, Kent, Renton, Yakima, Bellingham, Kennewick, Auburn, Lakewood, Marysville, Pasco, Shoreline, Redmond, Kirkland, Richland, Olympia, Sammamish, Edmonds, Lacey, Puyallup, Bremerton, Lynnwood, Longview, Bothell, Walla Walla, Burien, University Place, Wenatchee, Mount Vernon, Des Moines. Here is a list of cities/towns on Whidbey Island, Washington ordered by population: Oak Harbor, Coupeville, Freeland, Langley, Clinton.

I created three special childfree holiday weekends (childfree holidays) for childfree people, Childfree Women's Weekend, Childfree Men's Weekend and Childfree Pride Weekend, as a way to honor the childfree women and childfree men for their choice to be childfree and to recognize that this is the best choice for these people. Childfree Women's Weekend is a celebration of all these women and allows everyone to express love, gratitude and reverence for them in the same spirit as these are expressed toward mothers on Mother's Day. Childfree Men's Weekend is a celebration of all these men and allows everyone to express love, gratitude and reverence for them in the same spirit as these are expressed toward fathers on Father's Day. Childfree Pride Weekend is a celebration for the childfree people like Gay Pride Weekend is a celebration for the gay people. These three childfree holidays are unrelated to World Childfree Day (World CF Day) or International Childfree Day (International CF Day). In my opinion, the three childfree holiday weekends supersede the World CF Day or International CF Day. Childfree Women's Weekend occurs every year on the weekend of May's third Sunday. The first Childfree Women's Weekend occurred in 2004 on May 8 and May 9, which was preceded by Childfree Woman's Day on Sunday, May 11, 2003. The fourth Childfree Women's Weekend occurred in 2007 on May 12 and May 13. The seventh Childfree Women's Weekend occurs/occurred in 2010 on May 15 and May 16. Childfree Men's Weekend occurs every year on the weekend of July's third Saturday. The first Childfree Men's Weekend occurred on July 17 and July 18, 2004. Childfree Pride Weekend occurs every year on the weekend of September's fourth Saturday. The first Childfree Pride Weekend occurred on September 25 and September 26, 2004.

The childfree women and childfree men should be proud of your childfree choice. Your choice allows you to maintain or increase your freedom, independence, free time, sleep time, emotional resources, financial resources, spiritual resources, psychological resources, career success, life success and, most important, your happiness.

Petfree definition or definition of petfree :   A person who is single or two persons who are in a long-term committed relationship with each other who do not and shall never own at least one pet, do not and shall never foster own at least one pet, do not and shall never step own at least one pet, is not and shall never be a guardian of at least one pet, and is not and shall never be a pet sitter.

I created two special events, Evolution Weekend and Darwinmas Eve/Darwinmas Day, for Agnostics and Atheists for a few reasons.  First, as a way to celebrate our own special days. Second, to take back Easter from the Christians considering the Christians stole Easter from the Germans, Sumerians, Chaldeans and Celts according to The origin of Easter. Third, to take back 12/24 and 12/25 from the Christians considering that they stole 12/24 and 12/25 from the Pagans and Romans according to Theories regarding the origin of the date of Christmas. Evolution Weekend occurs every year on the weekend that contains the first Sunday following the full moon that occurs on or next after the vernal equinox. The first Evolution Weekend occurred in 2004 on April 10 and April 11, which was preceded by Evolution Sunday on Sunday, April 20, 2003. From 2005 until 2012, Evolution Weekend will occur on the following weekends: 2005 - March 26 and 27; 2006 - April 15 and 16; 2007 - April 7 and 8; 2008 - March 22 and 23; 2009 - April 11 and 12; 2010 - April 3 and 4; 2011 - April 23 and 24, and 2012 - April 7 and 8. Darwinmas Eve and Darwinmas Day occurs every year on December 24 (Eve) and December 25 (Day). The first Darwinmas Eve and Darwinmas Day occurred in 2002.

In support of the recent decision, in late June 2002, by the the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, here is my version of the USA's Pledge of Allegiance :

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America; and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under Darwin, instead of an imaginary God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Here is, in my not so humble opinion, the greatest sentence created in the history of the world :

1st Amendment to the USA's Constitution :

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
