What is the difference between California and Washington state?
Q. Not like, geographically, but more like law. Like whats different in Washington that's better or worse that's legal or illegal? I'm Moving From California to Washington State, and I would love to know what the laws are on age, and how old you have to be to buy certain things maybe that you cant buy in California, such as maybe, potassium nitrate, or even steel wool, or anything that I might need from a hardware store, but obviously, please don't say anything federal, because those laws apply to the whole country, not just one state.

A. in Washington you can tell the season by the Temperature of the rain. in California you can not tell the rain from the smog so do not expect me to help you make explosives with nitrate

Should the Washington Nationals try to celebrate Walter Johnson's career, as a way to bring attention to team?
Q. Just an idea. They're not having that good of a season. Johnson did play for the Washington team, and retired to live in Maryland. Widely considered one of the top 5 best baseball pitchers ever, and was First Ballot for Hall of Fame. On the other hand, he's been dead for about 60 years.

A. seems to me a ceremony would come off as a bit random. Maybe a bobblehead day or something for him. Giveaways usually fill the stands pretty well. More popular teams use giveaways on holidays and other occasions where the stands will likely be mostly empty. So maybe having a Walter Johnson day or something would be cool.

A. Cincinnatus had been consul of Rome but had retired from politics and lived as a farmer on a plot of land he owned. When the Aequians threatened Rome and entrapped the city's defense forces, the leaders of Rome came to Cincinnatus and offered him the fasces - a symbolic way of asking him to serve as dictator during the crisis.

A. Most of the difference has to do with Prop 13's effect on California. While anyone who purchases a home pays taxes on the current value of the property, someone who has lived in the same home for years is locked in at a much lower rate. For example, know of someone who purchased home in 1976 for $42,000. Property taxes are less that $250 a year. My property in Oregon is on the tax roles at $85000 and I pay $1300 a year. Like Cali, my tax increase every year at a minimum rate, but in Washingotn that's not the case. That said, yes, you can save tax dollars in Washington or Oregon over Cali.

A. Going from Anacortes Washington to Portland Oregon is about 253 miles (approx) and will take you about 4 1/2 hours depending on weather and traffic. The most direct route is going from WA-20 to Interstate 5, that will take you straight into Portland. Be advised there is some road construction on several places on I-5, and traffic at Rush Hour (morning and afternoon) in Seattle, Tacoma and Portland can get pretty bad so plan accordingly.

How hard is it to pass the Washington State Motorcycle drivers test?

A. Many facilities that provide motorcycle driver tests have the test course permanently set-up somewhere on the grounds. Locate a site with the course laid out and find out what days they don't test on. More often then not, the facility will allow you to practice on the course when it's not in use. Find a licensed person to go there with you; to keep things legal.

A. Google maps is the best for learning the surrounding areas, though from DC to Manhattan, you will get on 95 and follow signs. it's a very easy drive to navigate. The NJ turnpike and New York bridge/tunnels will rob you blind. If you have EZ pass, you'll save some time waiting in toll lines. With no traffic, it should take about 3 hours to Philadelphia, and another 1.5 hours to NYC. 95 is also a major truck route, and around this time of year, there is a lot of construction around major cities.

A. Your best bet will be to check with the county officials, probably the building inspector. It's VERY likely each county has requirements that must be met, besides those required under state law.

Was George Washington the only president to decline a salary?
Q. I have to write something about Washington, and I don't know whether or not it would be factual to say that he was the only president to decline salary. Please answer. Thanks.

A. I believe so. There are, however, significant pressures on the president-elect to decline his 400k salary. This is because he has said that living in excess is greed, together with the fact that he said he would go line-by-line to eliminate unnecessary spending. You can run a Google search on this and you can really learn some things about Presidential salary history. It's pretty intriguing. Also, to note, Gov. Romney said during the primaries that if he were to become President, he would not take a salary. You could also equate Washington to Mayor Bloomberg, who I also believe, does not take a salary from the City of NY

How did Washington try to establish strong diplomatic relations with the Indians of the Ohio Valley?
Q. How did his method differ from that of the French? Using the document "A Storm Arising in the West", by George Washington, in his warning to the French.

A. Washington as a young Lt. Col. was sent by the Governor of Virginia into the Ohio River Valley (in direct conflict with the governing English authority) to set up a camp along the Mississippi River. Washington and his men came upon a French Fort and over took it. This is the root cause of the French and Indian/Seven Year's War. By the end of the war, the French had been defeated on two continents, but still they hung on in North America. Within ten years, the Americans would declare war on the English and make friends with the French. The French were never much interested in settling the land. Their interests were in pelts and fish. They built their forts and trading posts along the waterways that would lead back to the Atlantic and… [cont.]
