Woke this morning with a Paul Revere and the Raiders tune in my head, which morphed into our present situation.

Should you fail to vote for joe Biden, the savior of democracy, the effects will be disastrous. Not the least repercussion will be 4 years of Russiagate 2.0. Imagine Rachael Maddow and Noted Expert on Russian Election Interference-HER alternating 24-7 on all mainstream media. Do you think you can handle that? Even if you could, would you want to? And what about the children? Think about the children.

That's all (folks).

Friends, can we have a word? I think you know what this is about. All you Republican voters y'all go outside and play now, this doesn't concern you.

Former Democratic friends (in which 'former' refers to my voter registration and not our friendship), I wasn't going to say anything about this, but something Rep. James Clyburn said on Sunday has pushed me over the edge.

07/01 Open Thread: The Holy Feast of the Genocidal Imperialist SOB Junipero Serra

For many, the fake smear of antisemitism used against the left during the college anti-genocide protests was a new thing.

Another Half a Year Gone...

Time's fun when you're having flies...or something like that. No doubt time seemingly passes faster and faster as the years click by. I bet Julian's time is about to speed up...spending time with his family instead of sitting in a maximum security prison...for committing journalism and truth telling. The conflicts around the world continue with US provocation. The USD continues to be at risk, and many banks are on the verge of bankruptcy. Let's dive into these stories and more below the fold.

Afternoon folks!

Here we go with three blues albums this week, King Curtis and Champion Jack Dupree start us off with a live album followed by albums from B.B. King and Bo Diddley. After that, there's an album of folkey/bluesy acoustic music from Paul Geremia and some electric blues rock from Blues Magoos and ZZ Top. We finish off in the diversity department with an album from British rock band, The Rumour.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Good morning!

As I compose this, I am looking at hills. I am in the Texas Hill Country, taking in the gorgeous views, making a valiant effort to relax.

Like a dumb ass, I checked my emails, wound up talking to a lawyer for an hour before I got unpacked.

Happy Friday everyone. I hope everybody is doing well. Post any and all photos, memes, or music that trips your trigger.

Needing to shed some excess pounds and being burned out on riding the bike, I recently started hiking up Cowles Mountain, a 1593 ft speed bump on the Earth's surface located in Mission Trails Regional Park, a short drive from where I live. I was pleasantly surprised to see many of the spring wildflowers were still in bloom. On Monday I decided to forgo exercise for photography and tried to capture some of the more interesting looking flowers growing along the trail. I have no clue what type of flowers most of these are other than very small.
