Soft, warm sunshine this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley, another example of a really comfortable fall season — so far. Weather-wise OK, but not so ‘comfortable‘ overall being in the nowadays — such as this afternoon. In a short interval of less than a couple of hours (an attempt at a nap) news…
Early evening Monday here in California’s Central Valley and the horrid life continues unabated. Especially in the repellent antics of the T-Rump (The Daily Beast): A visibly angry Donald Trump appeared in a New York courtroom for the start of a bank fraud trial that has already sentenced his real estate empire to death. A…
(Illustration: ‘Jimmy And Rosalynn Carter,’ art print by illustrator Tom Bachtell, and found here.) Today Jimmy Carter turns 99 — he’s celebrating along with Rosalynn down in Georgia seven months after entering hospice care, supposedly considered on his last legs.

End of another month quickly approaches and is in easy sight this early-evening Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — hard to actually believe/contemplate it’s beyond mid-September already, with even a New Year rapidly just around the perpetual corner as time sure as shit waits for freaking nobody. Shit coming at us full throttle and…
In this age of old age, I am close to the subject as a matter of fact — I turn 75 in a couple of months. Joe Biden will be 81, also in a couple of months (our birthdays are nine days and seven years apart) and age has become a topical topic nowadays with…
Bright and slightly warmish a few minutes past the noon hour here in California’s Central Valley — another handsome, pre-fall wonder as the grind of life continues, hopefully. Meanwhile, as Republicans lose more and more sense, they’ve knotted themselves into a horseshoe bend in not knowing up from down, yesterday from today, and how to…
Bright sunshine with a warm breeze this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — another start to another work week. Autumn supposedly comes this Friday; one indication of the approaching fall season is darkness comes quicker nowadays, and our days end seemingly abruptly. Time marches forward, however, In the splash sh of news today…
In this age of all-encompassing media, there are still assholes and an entire industry of being neutral and above the fray of politics — moreover, this is the age of the T-Rump and a Republica party pure crazed by lying bluster. This afternoon, Joe Biden attended church services at St. Joseph on the Brandywine near…
