President Trump Crosses the North Korea Border

President Trump this morning did a historical thing.  Last night there was talk of perhaps the president meeting with Kim Jung Um but nobody was at all sure at all whether Kim would accept the president’s overature.  It turns out he did and it worked out well for the president.  Trump and Kim shook hands at the border and then they both crossed the North Korean border together and Kim said what a brave thing it was the president was doing.  Castro and everybody else think it’s giving a dictator way too much status and that usually these negotiations are worked out with weeks and month of staff preparationl.  The president and Kim spent a half hour behind locked doors according to one report, and fifteen minutes according to another.  What the president is doing is smart because his supporters well welcome any decisive action of Trump; even if it’s a bad move.  Of course I can think of a lot of country relationships I would “reset” both for good and for bad.  I would “reset” our relations with Saudi Arabia, Russia and North Korea for the worse.  I don’t know if China is walking all over us in trade but Trump is supposed to have fixed that. 

As an example of how tired I have been lately I woke at twenty to four and then closed my eyes and suddenly it was 5:25 and getting light.  I didn’t shower.  I was too tired.  I have felt tired all day.  Sleep doesn’t give you rejouvenation as you would expect.  I made onecup of instant coffee.  At some point Bill had gotten up and turned on KABC and we had Good Morning America on.  We’ll cover the news in a bit.  I was out talking with Dorthey as the sun rose.  I had corn flakes for cereal.  They were different.  For the first time in weeks Patty actually came to breakfast when we were having French toast or something and we could use her Log Cabin syrup and her butter.  I got my medication from Sarah before breakfast and Sarah gave me my nicotine patch at the table.  I wonder how much money is being wasted on that.  Bill gave me two more pieces of French toast and I used more syrup and bitter on those.  I watched “This Week”.  Julian Castro and Bernie Sanders were both on and they were somewhat informative.  I had Breakfast with the Beatles on.  This was an unremarkable show brought to us from Morango.  I didn’t go out for morning snacks.  It got hotter and hotter out.  We had the fixings of a beef taco with salsa and lettuce and the ground beef.  But there was only one taco shell.   There were refried beans.  We had rice pudding for dessert.  I turned on Leo Laporte.  You know the rest.  I am tired and need some kind of a vitamin tonic or something.  I told you Dorthey and Phyllis as well as Bill have complained of being tired.  Maybe it’s something they’re putting in our food.

.The news from the debate last night at six on NBC is that Joe Biden got in trouble because he was against inter-racial bussing in the ‘seventies.  He acted defensive when Camilla Harris brought it up.  The other issue was dealing with segregationist senators in previous decades.   Some have said that Camille Harris isn't really Black because she isn't an American Black with a common slave eperiance like domestic Blacks. That Colorado governor was on the stage who says “I’ve passed all sorts of things that people said couldn’t get passed.   Kirsten Gildebran spoke passionately on behalf of women, particularly in her closing statement.  Bernie Sanders gave what I regard as the best closing statement.  There were several young, Caucasian men.  This session was more accromonious than the previous session.  Once again it ended at eight.  I tried to time the breaks to either smoke a cigarette or get my medication, and I sat out one break.   Camille Harris took a no nonsense approach to gun control and will control them by executive order if she has to.  After this it was some drama on KTLA that Bill picked out.  Bernie Sanders gave the sort of sumation address I would have given about getting tough with the drug industry and the insurance industry and the bankers and the energy companies.  The others never took the time to state the obvious.  

The ten people of the Democratic debate occurred at six on NBC and it lasted two hours.  The affair was faced paced.  The only topic I don’t remember being brought up at all was student loans, and I may have been out smoking at the time.  Elizabeth Warren was both the first person to speak and the last person to speak.  She talked about her upbringing at the end, which the others didn’t do.  There were basically three candidates I’d never heard of before if you count the environmental governor of Washington.   I heard that Beto Ororke wasn’t his real first name.  Moe Kelly thought Beto did badly.   I think most of the candidates helped themselves considerably last night.  The exception may be Cory Booker, who seemed to have fallen flat and not as impressive as previous times.  At eight we watched Pen and Teller till nine. 

Here are some additional items.  The water was turned off around here just after three as I recall.  But it wasn’t till after four thirty that the water was beginning to come on and then not all at once.  They said it would be off only twenty minutes.  In the debate there was a problem with the microphones picking up the wrong people so they had to have an unscheduled commercial break to fix the problem.  I don’t know that Phyllis ever fed the cat yesterday.  The cat was still around after eight but it was kind of slinking off toward the fence and it looked like she was preparing to jump over.  In the debate that Hawaiian congresswoman got into an argument with Afghanistan as to whether all of these wars were worth it.  Joe Biden’s name wasn’t mentioned once in two hours. 

This blog only gets about a D for organization.  

One Wasted Week

Most of this blog post was done about five or six days ago.  It's been a wasted week.  The only news has been that Trump isn't going to bomb Iran for the drone downing.  Now we have the news that the president isn't doing to do mass deportations this weekend.  We are in the summer doldrums.  There is no more ice hockey or basketball.  It's too early for the All Stars or the Tour de France.  We have to wait another six weeks or so for pre season football.  All of the TV programs are in rerun, except of course for those programs that have gone completely off the air.. 

In the evening it was Sixty Minutes.  They now have a procedure on Sixty Minutes they can do to eliminate symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder.  You anesthatize the ganglia in the neck and it shuts down that portion of the brain that controls anxiety and fight of flight sindrone.  It’s a major break-through but only a few hospitals do the procedure which takes only five to fifteen minutes and the effect on the patient is immediate.  They say it’s better than either marijuana or alcohol.  Still the people they interviewed didn’t look entirely relaxed.  Then they had a thing on drug addiction in West Virginia, which is eight times the national average.   I went down and got my medication.  Then it was a rerun on the Game of Thrones.  We now know how violent that show is and how women are routinely depicted in degrading ways, but the actresses who play those women don’t seem to mind it.  The whole thing with George Stephenopolis was a one hour long campaign commercial for President Trump.  It was skillfully edited to put Trump in the best light.  He called Biden low IQ but wasn’t questioned about why he calls him this.  He says outrageous stuff and it’s just accepted as fact.  After a whole Stephenopolis got tired of even disputing anything President Trump said.  They had Trump walking the column of the White House and occasionally he’d say something presidential.  But overall I’d give the report an F because it was so lacking in substance.   Two questions seem to have been edited out.  The one was “Are you saying that is you’re the President what you do is not against the law?” the way Nixon did.  No answer.  Then the question of “You are the president and have a great deal of power yet you seem to get in endless petty conflicts with people and you are continually pushing at them and being combative”.   At nine I went out and Bill had changed it to channel two and we watched whatever that was.  After a while I lowered the volume and went to bed.  

.  Yesterday I was thinking of doing a paragraph on “25 Years of a Dystopian Future”.  That’s what it is these past 25 years since June of 1994.  This is the year the Republicans changed history by for the first time in forty years elected a republican house.  People in the milenial generation have never known anything but an almost continuing Republican tyranny over the legislative process where no positive things ever get passed.  Just in case they are wondering, “this is not normal”.   There was a Jeopardy question the other night where the answer was “Dept of Homeland Security”, a department we never used to have.  Jesus said “all these things are like the first pains of childbirth”.  I wonder if the “baby” is the anti-christ and that the antichrist is President Trump and only now are we ready for the climactic birth pangs where President Trump announces a full blown fascist state.   Back in June of 1994 Rock and Roll as we know it was not yet dead, but getting close.  Before Jerry Garcia died they regularly had the Dead Head hour.  Jerry Garcia died in the summer of 1995 and Rock at that point was very close to meeting its mortality.  In terms of the 25 year count-down to where we are today the first acts of the republican congress were the defense of marriage act, which I thought at the time was unconstitutional and I don't think the supreme court ever ruled on it.  It was put in place so you could continue to descriminate on your income tax forms between married people and gay couples.  Then there was the communacations act of 1996 where the whole TV industry as we know it was "liberated" from any government regulations as to serving the public as a prerequisite to having your license extended for another four years.  This was a continuation of the Reagan ruling of 1987 only worse.  Finally there was "the end of welfare as we know it" and I guess we have survived with this one OK.  Then later on in the decade was all of that stocks and securities de-regulation that set up the whole economic crash of 2008.  Do you get the picture?  So even in the nineties we had danger signals that only continued and got worse. 

The rock compilation of ours "Further Below the Radar Screen" came out in its present form December of 2016 and I think it's in the Ten Commandments blog, and I checked it so all you have to do is click that and go to December of 2016.  I may copy it here so you can look at it and get You Tube references from it, if I'm not too lazy.  Basically I don't think we will be doing any new rock compilations at this point.  I just need to induce you people one way or another to look at the old ones dating back to the spring of 2006.  

Santiago Oaks

This is an overcast Saturday morning June 15, 2019.   Hardball has featured mostly strictly political stuff including extended coverage of the Budajudge town hall a few nights ago.  He’s more articulate and substantive than O Rorke was.  Dick Gephart seems to have endorsed it.  Gephart seemingly is no longer in the senate and he’s looking older.  Dick was in college when Kennedy was president, as opposed to grammar school.  We have the changing of the guard all the time with fewer and fewer politicians older than I am.  In the news they had the attack on one of our destroyers in Iran and it looks like Iran did it but Germany had her doubts.  Three blasphamus thoughts hit me recently and I’ll make a blog topic of these.  They uncovered an inside poll done by the Trump administration which shows Joe Biden leading in Michigan and Pennsylvania and in Florida by double digits.  Trump calls three months ago ancient history.  It would seem to me that Trump has only fallen in the insuing three months.  President Trump told Stephenopolis that he might not call the FBI if he was given foreign campaign dirt on his rivals and “Of course I’d look at it because everybody does it”.  He later cleaned up his story a little for FOX saying he would call the FBI but he’d still read the material.  This morning on You Tube I looked for “Why Do I Love You Like I Do?” from the fall of 1961 and I couldn’t find it.  That’s rare.  I did come across “This Time We’re Really Breaking Up” and played that.  PRESIDENT TRUMP IS FEARLESS NOW.  He knows Muller won't indict and Nancy Pelosi won't impeach and the media will give him every benefit of the doubt.  He is so confident of his new powers he invents new polls where he is winning that don't exist.  And he dares someone to come after him so he openly admits to campaign crimes knowing there is no retrobution. 

Suppose this woman rose from the dead only to have her daughter tragically killed only to find out that the woman was a complete impostor and the real mother was still dead and the real daughter was still very much alive but the impostor gains mileage and sympathy from everyone propounding the theory that she was tragically killed and everybody and his dog should feel guilty as hell for "their part'" in causing her Death.  Far out, huh?  On DL, Ted LaRan decided to be a nice guy and tell “Nicole” that her daughter was really alive.  Nicole wasn’t impressed because it wasn’t Nicole but Christine.  She was pissed that the death myth was on the verge of being exposed.  It got me to thinking of Jesus and the birth of Christianity and how the Church (as Christine) profits greatly from the belief that Christ is dead and the Jews killed him or “somebody” did and that “somebody is culpable and needs to pay for their crimes somehow, if only by giving to the Church.  It’s the death industry.  This gets me to the other thought I had.  What is the most blasphamus hymn you could sing on Easter morning.  It came to me listening to Stephanie.  “I would give anything just to have you back again” by Bread.  Stephanie was playing Bread songs yesterday morning.  But ain’t it the truth.  WThe would give anything to actually SEE Jesus Christ in the flesh, but of course we’ll never see him.  I mean you can worship George Washington as alive by hearing about him and reading his words and seeing pictures and such.  But we know Washington is dead.  Just like we know that Jesus Christ is dead just like I know my own father is dead.  Basically death means that the relationship is over.  And I submit that we can’t have a relationship with Jesus because Jesus is dead and no longer available to talk to.  The other thought I had was about the Palestinian race.  We hear all of this Jacob and Esau stuff about how two brothers hated each other long ago and therefore the whole race hates each other.  Yet Iran is the nation that hates Israel now and they are not even Semetic, let alone brothers.  And we know that the Jews are at least half from Eastern Europe on their mother’s side, and maybe more than half.  And we don’t know but what the native Palestinians that lived in the area when the Zionists invaded had just as good if not better “Jewish” credentials as the Ashkanaze Jews that moved in and took over the area.  The whole analogy is one to the American Indians in this country.  They are more “American” than we are but we say “It belongs to us now” and we take it and don’t worry about the consequences. 

Paul showed up a little past 8:35.  We want to his house.  While still in the car Paul casually looked down and saw that the heel to my tennis shoe had been damaged.  Paul thought it had been cut on something but it looks almost like some “rubber eating virus” attacked it, like some acid that ate away at the rubber.  I mused on it.  While still in the car Paul called Tim and the reception wasn’t very good.  Tim was in traffic at the 71 turn-off and we knew we had time to fill.  I finally got to talk to Judy for the first time in months.  She was at her computer.  We talked about my Resperidol usage and how it really doesn’t solve the mental problems I have and my mind is too fuzzy from the drug.   I’ve done nothing lately which stretches the intellect.  Judy went into the living room when her chairopractor came over to give her treatment.  Marie was very brief in her greeting.  Tim and Marie talked to the chairopractor when they showed up.  

We elected to go down Katella.  That is like urban sprawl with hotels and apartments such that you would not recognize the street.  I certainly didn’t recognize the corner with formerly Glacier Falls ice rink or Katella and the area west of State College Blvd where Criss Business college was located.  The urban sprawl continued right to the city of Orange and even the city of Orange was pretty urbanized.  Even Villa Park was more urbanized when I figured.  We went to Santiago Oaks and there was a turn-off to the left for it.  There at this point were country sprawling houses with white picket fences.  Paul works for the county so we got in for free and Paul had a brief conversation with the attendant.  We parked and went down the first of the three trails today.  This was much more truly “rustic” than the nature trail was.  There were obstacles such as tree branches at inopportune places.   It was still overcast.  I better pick up the pace or I’ll never get done.  We went to this waterfall place and some teenage girls crossed this creek with stepping stones but I didn’t trust my balance.  We went back the same way and got in the car and went to Irvine Park again where Paul got free admittance.  We stopped at one of the smelliest restrooms I have been in in years.  We went down this “Paul trail” because Paul helped forge this trail back before the fires had ravaged the place, and Paul pointed out all of the areas where the fire had gone through and spared some things and others grew back.  Then there was the bit with the compass and all us were turned around.  I thought the trail was west and it turned out to be north.  Then we went to the green part of the park where there were peacocks and we fed the peacocks by hand.  There were horses and riders going by.  We went to the duck pond and I had one of these nutra-bars and also a bag of cashews I ate quite a few of.  The water looked murky and dark.  We then drove by the Zoo parking lot.  Paul says this zoo specializes in animals that are native to Southern California, so there would be no question of survival.  

Then we went to Rooster Rock.  This is a trail I wouldn’t recommend to anybody.  It was down and then up and walking through sand and rock and whatever.  Often Marie would hold Tim’s hand for stability.  Paul pointed out that I didn’t have the right shoes on.  During this up-hill climb holding on to a pipe thing the pipe ran out and I fell backwards into the weeds and cut myself in five places and bled.  Paul poured water on my cuts to get the blood off.  Then we went on to see Rooster Rock.  Then we returned and I picked out the trail to use but part of that one was so steep I had to crawl on my hands and feet.  Then we relied on Tim’s memory of Villa Park to get us to this restaurant about one thirty called Rockford’s.  There was this really attractive eighteen year old out front and I thought she was advertising the place.  It turned out her smile was for relatives and they were celebrating her graduation from high school.  I had a turkey, Swiss, bacon and avocado sandwich called a “Paper Boy” on sour dough.  As it turned out Marie had the same thing right down to the onion rings, which there were plenty of.  I had a Coke and they refilled it when I had only drunk half of it.  We got into a smoking that wasn’t my idea.  I had begun by merely remarking that I had no cash for a tip because I had spent it all already.  We finished up after two and Paul took the freeways, plural, home.  We went south on the 55 freeway and then turned west on the 22 and took that and then we turned on the Santa Ana and got off at Ball Road.  We didn’t linger at Judy’s.  I just got out of Paul’s car and into Tim and Marie’s and they took me home.  Tim drove by the homes of John Sherwood and Glenda Brand.  John Sherwood is now living in a retirement community in some other state.  Interest-ingly we didn’t talk about politics the entire time.  By this point I didn’t feel like talking.  I was dropped off at maybe ten to three, and Tim said something about doing it again sometime. 

Garden Variety Stagnation

President Trump has said as of Friday night that he will not raise tariffs on goods from Mexico.  I know it wasn’t covered on the ABC news.  I’m surprised they could get a deal through with the president back only one day.  Mexico agreed to station six thousand troops at the Guatamala border to keep out migrants.  Also there was something about making applicants for asylum to wait it out in other countries.   The president is probably up in the polls after making a few well scripted speeches in France without falling all over himself.  In terms of impeachment the word still is that whenever Nancy Pelosi wants it we’ll get it.  But Nancy is trying to walk the fence being a bit more strident against Trump since the Muller Report.  Of course impeachment hurt Clinton because Gore in the 2000 campaign had to distance himself from this popular president out of a sense of morality and this helped to give the election to George Bush.  But also in this chicken and egg scenario, “No president should be criminally charged for deeds done as president”.  This is a meme that is circulating around.  This is why all the aids in Iran-Contra were pardoned by Bush.  So we’re stuck, and if we continue “stuck” in this mode, Trump may get reelected.  I don’t know if I mentioned it but in 2016 Trump took out an ad in the New York Times saying that the Central Park Five were guilty of those rapes even after they were cleared through DNA evidence.  That’s how Trump works.  He plays to his base thinking that it’s better to be strong and wrong rather than weak and right.  

This paragraph contains three silly stories.  As you know that Rapters player was shoved into the stands by a Warriors investor on Wednesday night.  Not only was he ejected from the game and the series, but he was barred from attending any NBA games for the entire next season, plus he was fined a half a million dollars.  The decision of the NBA is final and it was arrived at within hours and there is no Court he can appeal to.  If a player had shoved a visitor into the stands the visitor could not sure for a half a million and get it.  I guess it all comes down to the Neil Savedra principle.  It isn’t the offence but who you offend, and if you “offend” an NBA player it’s like offending God or something.  They want to bulldoze Columbine High School because there are too many looky-loos “slow driving” by because of the murders committed there twenty years ago.  If you’re wondering about where they’ll get the money for a new facility, they don’t have any funds in reserve.  They’ll have to raise taxes to pay for it.  As you know proposition EE here in LA failed, failing to win a two-thirds majority of the voters required to raise property taxes.  I tell the people of Columbine to just “deal with it”   Don’t give me this stuff about “unhealthy morbid fascination”.  It’s been twenty years already.  It’s not as if the murders happened yesterday.   Finally we have a woman who was murdered right in front of TV cameras.  Now the guy is claiming that he is innocent because he or his attorneys say that the cops gave him Heroin, “to make him easier to arrest”.   This is the silliest explanation for a cold blooded murder I’ve seen and I hope the guy is swiftly sentenced to a life term. 

This is Sunday June 9, 2019, the day ABC rearranges their evening program schedule.  This file said “read only” again when I first booted it.  I wonder what causes that.  Today is basically the first day of summer.  It’s physically hot.  Someone in New Brunswick said it was getting “a little hot” at 25 degrees C.  It’s hotter than that here.  Most likely it’s going to stay hot all the way through October at this point, though they did say there would be a cooling later in the week.  There was a fire near Magic Mountain and Hurricane Harbor and they had to close both of them down.   In the news they say there are two different types of sun screens.  I didn’t know that.  There are physical sun screens like zinc oxide and other minerals that sit on top of the skin and block it that way.  There are “chemical” sun screens that soak into the skin.  These are not as safe and work entirely differently with molecular action.  I just went to the store before two and got strawberry cigarettes and a 12 oz can of Coke.  Steve was in there.  There is that thirty inch slice of shade on the back bench.  Shade is at a premium this time of year.  

I woke tired.  It was four twenty and I got up at ten to five and I knew that half hour would not provide me enough sleep.  But then after I got up I was predictably hyper.  I didn’t shower but I did make instant coffee.  I haven’t seen the cat today.  I lay down and tried to get some rest.  I turned on Joel Olsteen in the last few minutes.  Joel says that as you progress to higher and higher levels of spiritual, you get bigger and bigger devils.  To an extent, I doubt this.  How do I battle the feeling like I could use a drink first thing in the morning?  We had corn flakes for breakfast.  Patty was not there for either breakfast or lunch.  We had two round waffles and syrup and butter.  They came around with more syrup.  One coffee was enough.  I watched “This Week” because channel four had tennis.  I listened to Breakfast with the Beatles.  Today they alternated songs of one with each Beatle.  I didn’t go for either morning or afternoon snacks.  For lunch we had chili on a plate with corn bread.  We had rice krispie things for dessert like Mom used to make.  When I returned they had on a guest who played John Lennon facing off with Brian Epstein in August of 1966 on the whole “The Beatles are bigger than God” comment.  Brian was uptight and John just told of all the pills he had access to that could remedy that.  John was only concerned because the rock magazines said that he was fat.  He didn’t share Brian’s many concerns. Then I had on Leo Le Port.  There was a caller with a twelve year old son.  And Leo recommended that he be given two cheap specialized machines rather than one big, expensive machine.  Get an X box and a Google Notebook and his bases will be covered.  I hope I can save this without giving the machine “read only” hysterics.  

We're substituting "Psychedelic Shack" by the Temptations instead of a song we kicked off "Chaos and Creation" from a month ago in "Marcus in Exile" because that song was found on "Analog Ghost Chatter". 

Ways of Looking At Life

If the guy down the street is out of work it's a recession.  If you're out of work it's a depression.  If the guy down the street is robbed it's an elevated crime rate.  If your house was robbed last night the crime rate for you is one hundred percent.  There was some guy on TV saying the crime rate is down and racism is down and inflation is down and unemployment is down.  His point was that life is pretty good so don't worry; be happy.   Sixty Minutes had the chairman of the Federal Reserve on last night.  Everything is great.  Intrest rates were raised in small incriments four times and that's enough.  Things are stable now.  But President Trump wants the guy fired, which he doesn't have the power to do because he won't DROP intereest rates.  It's a good thing there are powers even Trump doesn't have.  Of course the problem is we don't have the four percent economic growth rates now because they say "the labor force isn't growing".   All of the baby boomers are retiring.  That makes it easier to get the numbers looking good.  But the trouble is there is a vast segment of our US population that is either in jail or on welfare or strung out on drugs that Trump never addresses with his economic rosiness.   There was a TV show on last night that does you can file an injunction against someone if your personal computer program, one you wrote yourself, interfers with your neighbor's economic profits.  You can get a judge who doesn't even want to hear any evidence on the subject, and it's a complicated one.  She just rules in your neighbor's favor.  In this case your program was to thwart your neighbor from hacking your computer and spying on you.  So this judge was saying you don't have a right to defend yourself against spying.  It's kind of like with NAFTA you can sue the government if their newly passed pollution laws interfers with your corporate profits.  This really sucks.  You don't have a "right" to a certain wild rate of economic profit.  You have to be a good citizen with the rest of us.  I would say the same way on the economic tax rate.  You don't have the "right"' to a one percent tax rate on your billions that you make at other people's expense.  I was listening to Bill Handel the other day and I guess you better now buy a Jack Russel terrior.  They will bite you on the finger and crush the bone so it will have to be in a cast for weeks.  Then when it's healed the dog will go after your sister's face lunging at her.  And of course Bill Handel was conned into not having the dog put down because the vet gave him to some other unwhitting victim.

We were minus an opening paragraph.  That was going to be on the origens of Christianity.  Let me just say this.  The Moslems don't believe Jesus was crucified.  If Jesus' father was a Roman he was legally a Roman citizen and maybe he moved to Rome and preached and ministered there for thirty years in Rome.  That would have been better for everybody.  I'd rather have twenty years of Jesus' ministry rather than twenty years of the theology of St. Paul.  That's just my oppinion.  This edit page took a long time to load.  We supplied a lot of fluff for you.

Front cover is a possible copyright violation.  That big bad wolf in the pea green jacket standing in front of the White House, just having had a sneasing attack and he blew all of the Trump administration out of the White House, with an “a-choo” caption and a few movement lines.  The back photo is Jim Morrison lying in a field of clover in yellow flower bloom, with his arms out and a blissful expression on his face.  I don’t know when or where this photo was taken.  The title listings are in the upper left corner.  I believe this album was out two weeks ago but the Federation wouldn’t approve it till this morning.  They may still have their doubts because the tracks haven’t been officially “canonized” yet.  The inside flap is the most recent material.  This is saying that President Trump should be impeached because “A tide taken at the flood leads on to success” and all that taken badly out of context from a Shakesphere play.  The line is that Muller left the door wide open for impeachment.  I have my doubts about this line of reasoning because I don’t know what tricks Trump has up his sleeve where we may suffer reverses.   The song two tracks from the end has been switched out because the prior occupant is on the album "Deepest Rock". 

This is Sunday June 2, 2019 on an all overcast day.  That predicted heat wave keeps being delayed.  The Federation has seen fit to putting out another rock compilation today though I think a version of it may have been out two weeks ago during the full moon.  We learn that Google is down in cities all over the country today.   I had a chef’s salad for lunch having changed my menu because I’m sick of chicken and whatever black beans and rice were with that.  Sometimes you don’t want dinner for lunch.  We had mixed fruit for dessert.  I turned on Leo Laporte but Chris Marquardt wasn’t on.  This bit about Google would impact You Tube as well as blogger.  I was fighting drowsiness.  I borrowed two cigarettes from Phyllis.  At a quarter to one I turned on the TV and the NBA play-offs game two wasn’t on but the Detroit Grand Prix was. The picture didn’t come on till after one.  People have been asking me more and more when Bill will be returning.  It could be any time.   My money spending rates this month are way down.   The cat was out there first thing out the door I saw this morning.  Gene fed her last night when she was around.  Phyllis got defensive when I asked her if she had fed the cat.  

Last night it was the ABC network news.  After six thirty I was outside and I heard a rumor the reason for Kevin’s brain damage is that he was hit with a sledge hammer walking through a dark alley by himself coming home from his job at Boeing.  His brains splattered all over the place.  I got to thinking about this story.  The other story is that he had a stroke one night and woke the way he is now in the morning.  I got my medication before seven.  When I hear stories like with Keven I get mad at Christianity because they like to rationalize and shrug off pure evil as though if you ignore it, it won’t be a problem.  I watched two “Major Crimes” episodes just like the previous Saturday.  The first one was pretty intense.  The police sure do a lot of lying to everybody in both episodes.  I guess it’s SOP for them.  I went to bed soon after nine even though I wasn’t that tired.  I had a dream there was some big gathering and Bill Clinton was there and Laura Hammil as there and I felt as though both of them were insulting and disrespecting me so I came down hard on them and got on their case.   Then I woke up.  Then  I went back to sleep and there was this cubicle thing where I was supposed to do an essay on each of the objects in the room and what they mean.  There was also a novel in the room and I was supposed to read that and give a synopsis of that.  I read about a third of it and had basic understanding.
