A great neighborhood dive bar is one of my happy places. I live in SF, but work in Santa Cruz two nights/week. It’s always nice to me to feel welcomed at the Jury Room. Props to being a former serial killer bar. ;)

It's been a hard two weeks. Our lovely tortie suddenly got sick with cancer and had to be put down today at home. This photo was from earlier today. She was a wonderful friend and we tried to make her last day as calm and happy as we could. The vet who assisted her was a true gift. I'm just so sad.

Not trying to argumentative, but what do think they should have done instead? All of this was all unknown and also top secret. To me the biggest sin was not to acknowledge the potential exposure to the "downwinders" back when Hazel O'Leary was head of the DOE and try and make things right.

I’m not gonna say, “Happy Pride”. Instead I’m gonna say, “Celebrate, but circle the wagons, check your weapons, and be ready to fight”. Do not give up a fucking inch to these fucking asshats.

Got home from my second PT session after rotator cuff repair surgery and Ruyi (如意) let's me know who's boss. Had a good nap. The process is brutal.

I'm currently recovering from rotator cuff repair surgery and cannot drive, ride my motorcycle (duh), or return to work for another 3 to 4 months... So here's a nice photo of my lovely GF shot with Kodak Portra 400 and a Fujifilm GF670 Pro medium format camera in a local redwood grove. Cheers.

Taiwan High Speed Rail (THSR) is amazing good. FYI, so are the conbini egg salad sandos (as good as in Japan). Taiwan beer is also pretty damn good. Having a great trip. Happy.

Bought a cute cat change purse today (God is always watching).

Thanks!
I used to have HIERO93 as my license plate before some asshat kid totaled my GTI. I haven't gotten around to putting the plate on my Cayman but I hope to sometime soon. Cheers.

Grilling dinner last night at Shinjuku Horomun (yakiniku place in Kaohsiung). Tonight's dinner included grilled esophagus, tripe, intestines, chicken butt, chicken neck, beef liver, aorta, some unknown bits, trumpet mushrooms, mountain yam, and a fuck ton of whisky highballs. Highly recommended.

No nukes tonight. Just Totoro.

I came across this display while thrifting in Petaluma. You know, for kids.

Enjoying a lovely Christmas morning. Biscuits & Gravy, a drink, and one of my favourite movies.

Merry Christmas to you and yours from us and our cats. :)

It's that time of the year again. I remember cutting down a Christmas tree in the snow with my dad when I was a kid. Putting it into the back of our Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser and sliding off the road into a ditch. I miss my dad and the Oldsmobile, but don't miss the snow. Happy Holidays to all.

My morning commute.

Here's something a bit more whimsical. My partner and I doing "German things" (I don't want to focus anymore on nukes today). Happy Thanksgiving.
