A long list of Trump legal flunkies have been sanctioned or disbarred. Now a judge has referred Todd Blanche to state bar associations for possible disciplining.
Happy Saturday. Almost finished with watering. Wish I could join you all but still catching up with errands. Heading to friend’s 92 birthday party this afternoon. What would an Isotopes game be without the Red, Green, and Taco race?
Good morning! Waiting for the fog to burn off here on the California coast. We fly back tonight. Toured poet Robinson Jeffers’ home, Tor House, and Hawk Tower, which he built by hand from stones he hauled up from the beach. Jeffers was famous enough to be on the cover of Time in 1932.
Good morning! Been sunny almost the whole time we’ve been here and expected to be 86 today. Wow! Heading to Monterey. Muir Woods yesterday. Stunning.
Good morning! Enjoying San Francisco. Here I am in front of the legendary City Lights Books.
Good morning! Enjoying time with friends visiting. Got a new phone this week since my pandemic-era phone kept crapping out. Love the new camera for quail pics!
Good morning! Glad the winds have died down. Lovely day. And the baby quail are back! About a dozen.
Good morning! Getting un-jet-lagged. Another warm day. Here’s more pics: St. Paul’s Landmark Building and Conservatory. Minneapolis gets all the attention, but there’s something to be said for this low-key, quite diverse city with lots of historic architecture.
Good morning! We’re back from the Twin Cities. Got to see a lot of friends and relatives, and the weather was just about perfect. Stopped by St. Paul’s Como Park Conservatory before heading to the airport yesterday.
Did visit the Alex Pretti memorial in Minneapolis on Sunday. Heartbreaking, especially the stethoscopes left by other nurses and doctors.
Good morning! Glad the winds of the past couple of days have died down. Good gardening weather.
Good morning. Sunny, cool, and, thankfully, less wind. Yuccas are starting to put on a show.
Good morning! Grateful for a full day of light rain. And for today’s sunshine. Things are starting to pop!
Good morning. Cooler and partly cloudy. Good day for yardwork. We have a small deck in the back now, partially shaded by junipers.
Good morning! We’re having a few friends over for Easter brunch, then maybe headed over to Kaktus Brewing where a friend is sound engineer for a band playing there. A couple more photos from Saturday in ABQ.
Good morning! Perfect day in ABQ for the protest. Got near enough to the stage to get some shots of Stacey Abrams, who gave a terrific speech. Watched a good bit of the MN rally on YouTube, including performances by our friend Venus DeMars, plus Larry Long with friend Jacqueline Ultan on cello.
Just an intimate dinner among friends. Noam Chomsky, Woody Allen, two unidentified women, and Jeffrey Epstein.
Perhaps the most horrifying thing about the Epstein Files is the realization that our Elites, for all their differences, are united by two things: their urge to make money, and their eagerness to rape and torture children.
The future U.S. Secretary of Commerce trafficking small children to Epstein. And we go on with business as usual.
