Wow, step away from the InterWebs for a couple of days — my son made a wonderful surprise visit and I had no time to post, or even barely follow the news — and the shit hits the fan. T-Rump was indicted by the DOJ in a mass of charges, 37 in all, on the…
(Illustration found here.) Overcast skies cool the air this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley as we’re entering a small respite for the next few days from the on-charging heat from the approaching summer days ahead. Temperatures are in the high 70s right now compared to the high 90s at the same time yesterday…
Another attempted swipe against reality this Sunday afternoon with a serenade of some sort of sound — today it’s music in a reflection of our conundrum made up nowadays that’s really not a mystery nor an enigma, but obvious and dangerous and frightening. Yet also includes a sensual aspect, easing the voyage. However, before we…
Paul McCartney uncovered some photos he’d taken long, long ago: Although this bit of news might be old hat already (it was first revealed in January this year), McCartney’s photographs will be on display at London’s National Portrait Gallery starting at the end of this month.

Beyond the debt ceiling vote coming up shortly, a T-Rump scoop hit the news airwaves this afternoon — an audio tape of the asshole talking/acknowledging he’s holding classified documents — hopefully a clinching linchpin to indicting the Orange Turd. A major kick: ‘The tape was made during a meeting Mr. Trump held in July 2021…
Sunshine galore and still on-the-cool-side temperatures this mid-day Wednesday here in Californnia’s Central Valley — a few more days of similar weather, where then the heat and bluster of summer will be upon us. According to the NWS for our locale, near triple-digit temps due by the end of next week, and on into the…
Today in memory of those KIA in our country’s historically many far-flung wars, a reminder of those currently dying in the really-way asymmetrical war within America (NBC News): ‘A spate of shootings across the United States left at least 16 people dead and dozens injured over Memorial Day weekend. The gun violence occurred at beaches,…
End of another work week this Friday evening, Republicans are homeward bound from Congress, and the country is going to shit in a wire basket — at least until June 5, so says Janet Yellen, then who knows.
