music, arts, gardening, birds, horses and everything outdoors. husband father grandparent. pacifist. politically frustrated. opinionated.
It’s a pretty predictable script playing out, eh?
Me three months ago:
My prediction is that in that scenario, he blames the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which puts out employment data. Calls them corrupt, run by Democrats, out to get him. Fires people there, insists their numbers cannot be trusted, White House puts out its own fictitious data to make Trump look good

I didn’t mind life before AI & neither particularly like nor trust the people getting rich & powerful from it.

Mourning the death today of Sly Stone. As a teenager & watching his band start & develop, he & his brother’s shows were always a delight & full of positive energy. One of the amazing horn funk bands in the Bay Area back in the day.

The last photo is a newly foaled Kiger mustang we watch being born.

#Spring #Rhododendren & #Azalea #flowers on a cold, cloudy & short sunlight day (near) #Winter.

We’re lucky to have 60+, sixty+ year old specimens & hybrids on our city property.

Vivaldi’s Four Seasons & (pictured) Tchaikovsky’s Serenade for Strings, Op. 48 tonite.

Wow & thx Oregon Symphony for a great evening! Four Seasons has given me goose bumps every time I listen to it for 60+ years.

This Cooper’s Hawk is a regular. He recently got lazy & started hanging out on the feeder in this lower garden.

Old McDonald had a farm. And on that farm he had a pig. EIEIO. With an oink, oink here & an oink, oink there. EIEIO.

Haven’t seen the master, Itzhak Perlman, play for nearly 40 years.

His show w Rohan de Silva w whom he’s played for 25 years was insanely wonderful - especially the multiple encores.

Bought tics for 7 more Oregon Symphony-sponsored shows this season.
