So much for the NEA. . . That is awful news. The NEA is cancelled. . . That grant changed my life. Everything good in America is being destroyed.

This is too much for one day. Came inches from a large rattle snake (near my laundry room) AND the power is out again, "SCE has identified a power outage in your area that may affect your service We understand that having your power off is an inconvenience --"

Once, I was lucky enough to be in Lisboa on an April 25th, maybe eight or nine years ago. The streets filled with dancing, parades and people handing out red carnations. Why? to celebrate Freedom Day, a peaceful coup that ended the fascist dictatorship in Portugal on April 25th, 1974.

UPDATE This fire is a MONSTER Here's a new map, fire is spreading horizontally to the valley and Brentwood, planes are grabbing water from the Encino reservoir. Fire in Mandeville and reaching out to the 405. The good news is winds are at 4 MPH for now and firefighters are engaged.
