How sweet, fresh meat.

Nearing the end of a 5-month renovation of my newest project, and it's time for the fun to begin.

Not to minimize anything this is just how I process things.

On Quakebelly. Unlike LA quakes, which end just as you realize what they are, today's #Bangkok quake went on for an interminable time. I shrugged it off until a sick feeling came on, and I realized the ground was still moving. For at least 5 to 6 very disturbing minutes.

Building under construction collapsed in Bangkok's Chatuchak. Quakes of this size are uncommon, and Bangkok's placement on soft marine flood basin clay likely amplified quake impact. www.facebook.com/share/v/18XF...

Unverified: Myanmar colleague sent image of an 840-foot bridge that collapsed in the Sagaing Region.

I've experienced many quakes, but whatever just hit Thailand seemed massive. I still feel motion 2 minutes later as Bangkok's gelatinous foundation settles.

A bit about Pasadena. At the Pasadena Star-News around 2004, I named my blog for the paper "Pasadena, Center of the Universe," which was a running inside joke at City Hall for the Rose City's perceived importance.

Just left Pasadena after a quick unscheduled visit home. Major fires across LA area fueled by powerful Santa Ana winds.

I understand well the inhumanity of US health care but still thought hospitals applied ded. reasoning & investigation to remedy illness. Past 3 days at Huntington Hospital in Pasadena have dispelled that assumption.

A little too aroused by my intimate view of the B-2's belly to roll tape sooner. #RoseBowl

Stairwells smell amazing. Like baked bread. Is that the asbestos?

How it started vs. how it's going. Or, #Bangkok city planning process, illustrated. Totally shut down my already long-traffic-suffering soi.

I believe it's necessary to remain engaged, but would like to do so with fewer racists and billionaire bootlicker, so here I am.
