Wishing for Welsh magic: Baker tries to recapture sweetness of family trip
Our family has just returned from a three-week sojourn in Great Britain, so I’ve got a bit of reality whiplash. One day I woke up in a tiny Welsh village that’s straight out of a fairy tale and then, boom, a dozen hours later I’m going to bed in Washougal.

Letter: Candidates are third-rate
Mr. French from Camas believes a write-in vote is a wasted vote (“Don’t waste your vote for president,” Our Readers’ Views, Sept. 13). I can assure him I will not have a warm and fuzzy feeling when I cast mine in November. I will have a feeling of disgust towards two parties that put up third-rate candidates.
