This is JUDITH BEHEADING HOLOFERNES, DONE IN BALLOONS
I am coughing more than I want to but at least I have the right cough medicine for this. Poor Jeff, it’s like being in a tb ward for him.

little birdies
The nesting pair of Great Blue Herons was at Fraser Foreshore Park today; they went to their usual haunts and one of them yelled at the water for a while for reasons that were completely opaque to me and Paul. We saw what I believe was a Pacific wren trot at a great rate of knots across the trail. I fed the last of the unsalted roasted peanuts to the crows, and glad they were of it.
It was almost too hot to walk, but in the shelter of the cottonwoods it was deliciously cool.
No other critters…. it’s starting to get to be the quiet part of the year, the male birds aren’t singing as much. But even when we see nothing, this guy sees lots.

Better Days
Definitely feel better this morning. Here’s a pic of James Dean and Eartha Kitt in a bar in NYC.
We’ve started watching Ted Lasso, and we’re enjoying it. I can see that it’s about mental health.
I don’t know why all the people are complaining about this season’s Rick and Morty, it’s better than previously and easily as funny. I guess female characters getting bigger story lines has the poopy pants brigade out in force.
I got curried shrimp from Da Roti Shak yesterday and I feel so much better. It’s definitely comfort food for me.
Pic a nic
The picnic on the lawn of Alexis’s building yesterday WAS FANTASTIC. I got recipes. Keith drove me and Paul, Alex and Katie went in another car. kMike didn’t go, he was bagged.
Made a mushroom omelette this morning; toasted sourdough muffins and put out some veggie platter veggies and we ate on the deck like civilized folks.
She’s not a family member but I sure looked at her picture a lot as a kid. She’s 84 in 2021 and looks fantastic in this roughly ten year old photo.
some stay some go
Jeff’s staying back and I’m going. I have a veggie tray to purchase veggies for and prepare. Paul and probbly Keith are coming to get me around quarter after three. Sounds like Alexis made a MAONTING of food.

Got to see a momma raccoon and her three babies in a stream at Fraser Foreshore Park!
Also got very close to the two herons.
Ate sushi in the shade outside LA Sushi afterward, and then picked up some milk and halvah as a treat.

It’s nice when the temperature goes back to ‘normal’
Teddy Bear’s picnic gets kinky.
Go for the gusto buddy

so true
Wat Tyler has a few words
WAT TYLER SEZ: Ah you good people, things cannot go well in England until all property is in common and there are neither serfs nor gentlemeN but one united people. How ill they behave to us! For what reason do they hold us in bondage? Are we not descended from the same parents, Adam and Eve. And what can they show or what reason can they give, why they should be more masters than ourselves. The lords claim to be more lords than we are rests only on their power to force us to labour and produce in order that they may spend.
angry birds??

on the subject of white guys who don’t know when the fuck to shut up, imagine being Jordan Peterson getting this review for his latest JUST OUTTA REHAB special.
While 12 Rules for Life was a snapshot of an intellectual moment, however paltry, Beyond Order is the literary equivalent of colonoscopy by cake shovel, writes Richard Poplak.

Allison Durno made this LOVE THE COLOURS – orange, dark purple, pink….
Thinking of my friend Dave D as I post this.
took the day off yesterday from writing. I’ve written maybe a hundred words this morning and I’m trying to find the narrative ladder to make it happen and I think I have.

It’s really quite irritating.
Anyway, thanks to a strange Forcemeld, Paul was actually HERE yesterday to watch with us when SN10 stuck the landing (and caught fire, but the mission was a complete success). I am not a fan of Elon Musk, but that was nifty.
Is there anything Keanu Reeves can’t/couldn’t do.
Best Roommate in the World is now 24K words, I’ve been sending updates to mOm every day.
Possibly the best science of the day. When that link is gone, check here. When I’m talking to my pOp I always assume that he wants to get off the phone way, way way way earlier than me. When I’m talking to my mOm we generally talk until one of us needs the bathroom. what a life…
