I was born in 1944 in Merced, California. I am a Vietnam Era veteran. I graduated from Merced High School, attended Merced College, El Paso Community College and the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. I live in Southern Oregon.
I took a photograph created in 1965 in the waters of the Tonkin Gulf, ran it through some AI software, and found a short video clip of myself, middle, and two buddies aboard the USS Ranger. We were attached to VFP-63, Light Photographic Squadron 63, from Naval Air Station Miramar in San Diego.

We were on the fringes of thunderstorms this afternoon, and the late evening sky was marvelous.

There is to be an 80K worker layoff at The Department Of Veterans Affairs. Thanks, Mr. President, for the hollow support offered during your campaign. Obviously, you don't care about us, just about lies.

This is a level of stupidity not seen in Washington since 2020.

Open your mind to the knowledge that the long-term well-being of this tiny world, our Earth, is explicitly linked to the long-term well-being of all who live there: us. Listen, please.

My emotions are so close to the surface now. My personality is changing and there is naught to do about it. The memory I have of "me" still lingers yet the distance grows daily. PTSD and seizures are impacting my life without asking my permission. I am working hard to hold on.

I am going to add my praise for Ashton Jeanty, RB at Boise State. He gets a little here, and a little there, and then WHAM, 60 yards and a touchdown.

My boy, Ozzy, has a sore mouth and is having trouble eating. I had made an annual checkup appointment for him that will be next week, however, he is in pain and I am going to call tomorrow and get him in for help.

Call me crazy, but I think Justin Sun, a Chinese national being prosecuted for fraud by the SEC, sending Trump $18 million should be a bigger story

The direct enrichment of Trump by a foreign national weeks before he takes office has merited no coverage in the NYT or Washington Post
A Chinese national, charged with fraud by the SEC, just sent Donald Trump $18 million
Chinese Crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun paid $6.2 million for a banana — sold by Sotheby's as conceptual art — and then ate it last Friday.

I am reading Quanta and Fields: The Biggest Ideas In The Universe by Sean Carroll. This is the second book I have read by this author and I enjoy his writing style and the way he presents the material. I recommend this author and this book.
