Retirement activity: Transcribing correspondence & diaries of gr grandfather dated 1856-1903. He was an abolitionist preacher with horrible penmanship & a depressive personality. It's a slog, but interesting, too. One of several boxes.

Hey, #Schumer - Mr. Bailey died from a stroke last year & Mrs. Bailey is now in nursing home care for advanced Alzheimer's. It's long past time you talked to their grandchildren and get unstuck from the 80s.

So, the same Dems who threw David Hogg off the DNC, essentially for not being loyal enough, are now going to work against the guy who won the Democratic primary for NYC Mayor? Won it fair and square? Have I got that right?

As I write this, there's a standoff at Dodger stadium because the LAPD is supporting Dodgers not allowing ICE in. Bizarre how people tell themselves it's all in the name of Jesus somehow.

RIP Johnny Rodriguez, fine country singer. He guests on the #Highwaymen ("supergroup" of #JohnnyCash, #WaylonJennings, #KrisKristofferson & #WillieNelson) doing #Deportees written by #WoodyGuthrie in the 1930s. Inspired by a newspaper article, based on a true story. All too relevant today.

I've just returned from getting my 10th #Covid shot. I'm that rare bird who never caught the disease; if I did it was asymptomatic. Retired, working an orchard, busy w/out much exposure. I figure this #vaccination matters especially, because #RFK very well might eliminate availability going forward.

Question: How come #MerleHaggard hasn't had a postage stamp in his honor? Haggard did time & Gov. Reagan later cleared his record. Also: I have it on good authority that even if they didn't smoke marijuana in Muskogee, they did on the Haggard tour bus. He was inspired by Johnny Cash at Folsom.
