Aside from the folks telling you Parc Guell and Familia Sagrada, I like the markets. Boqueria and Santa Caterina are both nice, and I like lunch at Bar Joan inside the Caterina market

The lunch counter in Bar Joan in the Santa Caterina market in Barcelona. It's long with a green marble bar top. There are some covered service bins that have lots of goodies in them like sausages, different meatballs, cooked tomatoes, olives.

They also serve flan, patatas bravas, these yummy fried sardines - it's a hoot

them tracks are the mark of the beast

-- The Beast is heavy: The armor plating (on five newer models) is so thick and the doors so heavy that it's nearly physically impossible for the president to open them from inside.

About this - no shade on Greg, but this will not happen. The mad king that bulldozed the east wing didn't do that for someone else. I don't believe that he can let JD to run, as he can't withstand that narcissistic injury. he'll run, lose and fuck things up seriously in '28 unless he's dead - fin

screen shot from TNR Greg Sargents podcast:
Sargent: I think you really nailed it when you said that they’re going to essentially want women to pee in cups at airports now, because that really captures all the craziness of it—the misogyny, the hostility to women’s bodily functions and so forth.

Let’s spool this forward a little bit. Next year, JD Vance is presumably going to be starting his presidential run. He’s going to be trying to figure out how to inherit this kind of coalition that’s been created. And he’s going to have to figure out how to deal with, I guess, a major part of the coalition here, which is extremely frustrated and anxious and angry about having failed at this one fundamental thing, which is so central to their broader agenda.

How does he, do you think, handle that while at the same time appealing to the middle? It seems like this vision is so extreme and so crazy. And someone like JD Vance, whose whole kind of shtick is to be the guy who makes MAGA seem reasonable and puts an intellectual gloss on it—we’re now at a point where it’s getting so crazy that it’s going to be very hard for him to do that. How do you see him managing this?

reminds me of Hopi kachinas. This one is a carved wooden owl kachina. They have similarities in the anthropomorphism, some dress elements. Kachinas connect the spirit and natural worlds in three different aspects: the supernatural being they represent, the kachina dancers, and kachina dolls

Pueblo Bonito, Chaco Canyon NM #landscape

view of a section of Pueblo Bonito. A very pretty blue sky with a few clouds. The ancient house is made of dry stacked and shaped stone bricks. A crumbling wall reveals that its solidly composed of the same stacking technique.

Garden of the Gods, Colorado Springs, CO #landscape

Garden of the Gods looks fake. It really does. There are Morrison rock formations jutting upward in a mix of pines and firs in a hilly range, a lighter blue sky behind them with barely a wisp of clouds

you could swear a dinosaur was going to roam around the scene

it smells so delightful between the piñon and sage

Yep - I was a teenager then. The train thing was pretty cool - the only thing that happened in all the 48 continental states. www.freedomtrain.org/american-fre...

The triumph of the steam-powered American Freedom Train was, indeed, the only nationwide celebration of the Bicentennial. It was pulled by steam locomotives in the age of the diesel, and would improve on the three display cars of its predecessor, the 1947 Freedom Train. The American Freedom Train would feature twelve display cars, ten that visitors would go aboard and pass through and two to hold large objects that would be viewed from the ground through huge "showcase" windows. The display cars were filled with over 500 precious treasures of Americana. Included in these diverse artifacts were George Washington's copy of the Constitution, the original Louisiana Purchase, Judy Garland's dress from The Wizard of OZ, Joe Frazier's boxing trunks, Martin Luther King's pulpit and robes, and even a rock from the moon.

something fun - Fred McMurray says it to the night watchman near the opening of "Double Indemnity"

snip is of dialog from Double Indemnity:

A-6 INT. LOBBY

Neff is walking towards elevator. Night watchman looks after
him, relocks door, follows to elevator. Neff enters elevator.

A-7 ELEVATOR

Neff stands leaning against wall. He is pale and haggard
with pain, but deadpans as night watchman joins him.

NIGHT WATCHMAN
Working pretty late aren't you, Mr.
Neff?

NEFF
(Tight-lipped)
Late enough.

NIGHT WATCHMAN
You look kind of all in at that.

NEFF
I'm fine. Let's ride.

Night watchman pulls lever, doors close and elevator rises.

NIGHT WATCHMAN
How's the insurance business, Mr.
Neff?

NEFF
Okay.

NIGHT WATCHMAN
They wouldn't ever sell me any. They
say I've got something loose in my
heart. I say it's rheumatism.

NEFF
(Scarcely listening)
Uh-huh.

Watch a movie that only you like, and then read the rest of the time. I've recently hauled "The Classical Style" back out, lol. I know it's chunky and supposed to be a textbook but I don't care. I love it.

Book cover, gently worn because I've read this thing cover to cover like 30 times. Anyhow, the text:

The Classical Style

The Three Stooges from DOGE are all equity execs from the same shop, Valor Equity Partners. In my opinion, they're evil and criminals. They absolutely intended to immiserate people, so guess what I think should happen to them?
