Ducks, geese, red-winged blackbirds (my favorite) and…
an ice cream truck.
Spring incoming!
Oh, and the almond trees are blooming. Yay spring.

I think the only people who are thinking we can stop printing whistles now are a few Dem congresspeople.
The administration is going to keep at it until they find a city that will comply with their desire for violent riots. Might be why they keep harassing Los Angeles, city of historic riots.

“Everything that existed left behind traces of itself, and people then lived by their memories, just as we nowadays live by our capacity to forget, quickly and comprehensively.”
There is an amazing passage about this in Joseph Roth’s Radetzky March:

A 12 yo Hmong child in Fresno made this quilt panel for a school project. The quilt was sold at auction, was undated, and most of the panels were, well, 7th-graders… but this one, man. I had to frame it.

God. What can one do when everything is going off the rails in such an awful way?
Well, I bought a gift certificate from and to Mischief Toy Store.
Now I’ll look for a clearinghouse source for assistance to others whose livelihoods are being targeted by the fucking FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

You literally can't guarantee shit under this administration, friend. She looks like she could be from Antifastan. If she mouths offered a little bit, might as well hem her up and haul her into a detention center for a check. And it'll probably be a brown ICE agent to boot.

Nearly a quarter-century ago, Dick Cheney personally meddled in a govt report finding that Klamath Basin fish actually need, y’know, water—an act that led directly to the catastrophic salmon die-off in 2002 and thus paved dam removal’s way. Now Dick’s dead and the Klamath lives. Makes ya think.

Aside from everything else, RAIN INCOMING! That’s an event to celebrate here in usually-parched California.
It was a lovely day to be out cloudwatching. It was even nicer to get home, crack a beer, and check out election returns.
Good job, American voters. Sanity incoming!
