One Of My Very Own…
I have so many people in my life that I feel this way about.

I had a rough weekend NFL-wise. Prefacing the weekly tally I send out to all the players, I added this:
First, let me state, as a fact, "FUCK OAKLAND!'
Fuck all furniture made of oak.
Fuck the whole state of California.
Fuck anything west of my house.
And fuck words that begin with the letter O.

My wife and I were invited to a yard party at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. I stopped by after returning from my bar and had one beer before returning to my football on TV. I had just left when the cops showed up.

I'll let this speak for itself.

I have a new desktop image.
Awesome I would assume.

We would all be so much more successful if our ancestors had

Temple Houston, son of Sam
Houston. At 13, signed onto a cattle drive to Dakota; at 19 graduated w/ honors
from Baylor with law degree and passed the bar to become the youngest
practicing lawyer in Texas. His most famous case was defending prostitute
Millie Stacey in 1899. His closing summary, The Soiled Dove Plea, is still
studied by law students today, considered the perfect defense argument and one
of the finest masterpieces of oratory in the English language.
And if you would like to read the plea, here's the link. It's not too long and pretty damn good.

That is very effective...and touching. All those broken hulls on the ocean floor represent dead people...lots and lots of dead people.

Question: Just how long do you have to observe wildlife before a situation like that comes along. A lot I would assume.

This photo was taken
yesterday of a major rock slide in Ohio. Sources have confirmed once they
removed the boulder they found the remains of a coyote underneath. Witnesses
say they saw a roadrunner speeding away quickly from the scene just after
impact.
(That may not be true.)

How many just plain stupid things do we all believe today?
I'll make a stab at light speed being some sort of cosmic speed limit.

This rental car gives you the street you are on and the speed limit. I like the speed limit part, for sure.

We, each of us, have a ticket
to ride ... we: relish the landscape (how quickly it whizzes by!), interact
with our fellow travelers, pay frequent visits to the washrooms and concession
stands, and hardly ever hold up the ticket to the light where we can read its
plainly stated destination - The Abyss.

I once painted a mural of the signing of the peace treaty between the British and the Cherokee Nation. Luckily a diary described it perfectly, including that the Cherokee showed up with bright red paint all over their bodies. I refused to paint the indians as red, knowing what the rednecks in Saluda, South Carolina would think. I did agree to make their faces red, but left their body normal suntanned skin color.

Amazingly, the same neurons
fire whether we do something or watch someone else do the same thing, and both
summon similar feelings. Learning from our own mishaps isn't as safe as
learning from someone else's ... The brain evolved clever ways to spy or
eavesdrop on risk, to fathom another's joy or pain quickly, as detailed
sensations, without resorting to words. We feel what we see, we experience
others as self.

I'm not the only one who has observed this, folks.
If you don't believe a dying ex-president without a dog in the fight, who would you believe? And for the love of sanity, if you don't know exactly with oligarchy means, look it up....now. Look it the fuck up.
