Dad, cyclist, professional curmudgeon. Union member. Pre boomer if that is a thing. Be the person your dog thinks you are. Be the person Mr. Rogers said you could be. Yes, they should be the same. DO NOT ADD ME TO YOUR FOLLOWBACK LISTS. Take the shot.

At the bar 'Lobby' for dinner tonight.
Good fuckn luck with that
CHICAGO - ICE Be like my pal @jenreadsromance.bsky.social & pull out your phone RIGHT NOW and add the number for reporting ICE to your contacts. Then you won't have to look for it when you inevitably see some bullshit this week.
Finished with tonight's protest. Not a huge turnout here in Riverside CA. The same folks we.see every time.
I do not think that J.D. would do this.......public service.
We are still an hour away from our Labor day protest, as it is just too fuckin hot to go out earlier.
Is he dead yet? Concerned citizens want to know.
Love me some Liberal Propaganda.
You are working at this way too hard, my friend.
Because the Orange Clown or someone like him told them that they are the truthful ones, you cannot trust those scientists.
It is 13:30 at my house and it is down to 40. Oh. Wait, that is centigrade. The only four I see is preceded by a 1 and a zero.
I mean, just look at all those footprints in the sand.
So close to us. Cool.
So very true.
I am sorry for you there in SF. When I finished my bike ride at 0643 this morning, it was 83°F here in Palm Springs. On it's way to hot. Things are relative.
Because, Mom, your thigh smells like love. Well, all of you smell like love. I love you Mom.
Well, Shit!
Yes this is how life should be. Thanks to Aunty Acid by Ged Backland
Why are all the talented, good-looking guys marrying each other? Mozel Tov.
Well, Shit!
That coffee seems to be served in large, lady-shaped glasses with foam on top. Carry on.
Albertabama! So spot on.
The Plague just showed up in California this week. What a coincidink.
He will invade Chicago at 09:00.
Stevie!!!
Ashley, I was just on a roll, and you were in the path. I have had too much to drink this early in the day and these sisters and Brothers in arms were riding my ass. Have a good holiday and get out there tomorrow to let the world know that Unions are greater than Billionaires.
You go.
Cats and water I thought?
Here in Palm Springs we don't use chalk. The City paints the crosswalks for us.
As part of a true 'Well-trained militia', we will look out for all of you good folk. Not those jerks. The real Militia. Semper Fi!
Stay safe. We look forward to having you on stage with us. A warning.
I voted for President by mail while on "far away" military deployments six times. Try to stop this, and you may have a few million highly trained warriors at your doorstep. Or should I say "Well-trained Militia"?
You are welcome. I am back to my usual asshole self now. Having an early dinner before we head out. I hope the band likes hot Thai pork. It is one of the few things I can throw together in a hurry.
We can only hope it is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Think about it. Guys dressed and made up to the nines, with a blues band playing boogie. It does not get much more entertaining than that.
That is Fascist, Socialist, and Communist to you.
When your neighbors run a successful Drag queen review in Palm Springs, they know how to keep you happy. We are not playing there. Tonight.
Ok, this made me laugh.
These folks heard from my neighbors and just showed up at my door. Life is good. Now off to a faraway bar to play for the rest of the evening. No, we do not get paid, we just like to have fun together. We are all combat veterans from different decades.
To think that I am five years older than the Orange Turd and today I am playing lead guitar for a blues band in the SW desert after riding 43 miles with 1400ft of vertical this morning before dawn, I wonder what the fuck is wrong with this picture?
That late in the day? It will be allowed.
I do have that new Pixel 10 Pro, so maybe.
It is all just so much fun. If they play together again, I will see if the recording equipment is still online.
Wait, there are "newspapers?"
Please note that I will be in Salzburg, Austria, in two weeks, should you need any photos. My wife is going to a college reunion there. Friggn music majors.
Not so much for Deutsch (German). künstliche Befruchtung
We all know that on 9/03/2025, the orange turd will attack Chicago with some red states' National Guard.
Who?
Now she walks in a plays Piano Sonata in A Major by Mozart. No warm up, and play. To make us all feel inferior. Yes, we all know the music by heart. You have not lived until you hear something like this with a blues harmonica added.
She was at her Bechstein Grand, which all of us are afraid to go near.
Now my dear wife comes in and plays Solfeggio in G minor. and walks out. Yes, it was needed.
Is it an acoustic piano? Let them see the strikers hit the strings. My cats go nuts for this.
Well, Shit!
The glasses and the phone work.
I love that out of seven people playing and singing, there is only one straight white male, me. Two black couples, one of which is gay. A Trans base player, and a female on the drums. We always have a great time when we get together. On to Shake Your Boogie, Snooky Pryor version. Love the harp.
No shit!
I am kind of depressed these days. I have six friends come over with drums, harmonicas, bass guitars, and rhythm guitars. We are playing the blues. Playing the blues drives out any bad feelings.
Who?
I have 24 1m x 2m solar panels on a south-facing hill. There are three custom cylindrical wind turbines. These are more like mobile art than utilitarian. I charge 4 Tesla battery packs and my Lucid and Ionic cars. All can run the house. We drove my electrician to drink. Off-grid. Including water.
This cute critter was on the flowers today.
Yes Sir!
I have three cars in storage that need two keys. What's a colonoscopy? Dementia is a thing.
Well, Shit!
Release the files. Please.
What is a man to do?
IS HE DEAD YET?
I would like to thank some Postdoctoral students at Cal Poly Pomona and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo for their contributions to the wind solutions.
I stand corrected. I never think of myself as part of any named generation.
Here in the California desert, I have achieved zero emissions for over eight years with my innovative solar arrays, custom wind power, and batteries. It was initially costly. I am able to keep my home at a constant temperature of 21 °C to 27 °C, year-round. It was 41 °C outdoors yesterday.
He would have to read, have someone who can read, that Article in the Constitution. Then, just before they were fired, would have to explain it to him.
Break open and share the bottle of Pappy Van Winkle 23 Year Bourbon 2024 Release. I bought it just for this occasion. Is he dead yet? I am getting thirsty.
Schönen Sonntag.
Your mayor just now has signed an Executive Order to cause local police to arrest or at least hinder masked ICE agents. Bravo Chicago.
I have bought all my tires for the last 8 years at Costco. Excellent service, cheaper than anywhere else, and a hazard warranty is included
My wife tried to return three items last month and was given a refund on each but was told she did not have to return said items. As they were only a wrong size, she donated the NEW clothing to a local homeless shelter.
I like to use 'Orange clown' or 'Fearless Leader', or when I feel very magnanimous, 'tRump'.
These Dick Heads do not even speak Español properly.
That can be debated.
Hey, I still am purchasing Canadian Whisky and traveling north. Do not blame me.
I just showed this to my dear wife of 49 years. She gave me a high five. youtu.be/7ULkZjvs8zM?...
Fuck em all!
You do a great job. I have my guitars out now. My neighbors are helping with vocals. It is all good.
Do you see where you have led me now. I have been depressed since yesterday. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vv60...
The best Pink Floyd song. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXdN...
Have a drink. I am buying.
You did not follow up and send a payment?
My future wife talked me into it. She is more than happy that I did today.
So you think you can tell Heaven from Hell. Blue skys from rain. Can you tell a green Field from a cold steel rail? Do you think you can tell? This is the most requested song our Blues band receives.
Fresh bread, Beef Stew, I could be your best friend tomorrow.
Can I join you? MMMMM!
Even in Annapolis, I did not have any new technology. A Royal typewriter was as far as it went. I bought IBM stock when the announcement was made. Yeah, I am that frickn old. I met my wife when she was an IBM instructor out at China Lake Naval Weapons.
People. EEEWWW.
Just as sweet.
I could live there.
Trombonists are the worst. Always sliding along. Please don't hurt me.
Thank you.
Watch out pupper. Those look like the killer kittens I have heard so much about.
I was one of the 413 wounded. The lady next to me was one of the dead. I was a Marine officer for 34 years. I had never seen such carnage on a battlefield. Can we simply reduce the number of war-grade weapons in the hands of civilians? Easy-peasy. So you would think.
Good f88kin luck with that.
