An American Journey of... whatever! Everett is in the news! I heard about this report from NASA - Earth Is Warming At Pace ‘Unprecedented In 1,000 Years’. Uff Da! Thom Hartmann speaks with Dr. Michael Mann about it, too. I catch a few sprinkles here and there. I don't go out to the playground with the kids, but they come back pretty wet. Thank you, Rain. I see Donald in Mexico during my break. Oh! The HuffPo! This what I get when I click on EGO HAS LANDED.

Just to get in the family mood... less EGO.  I watch a new episode of Matt + Blue. Crow does the intro: Peace to the World. The wonder of a deer prancing away... awesome.  In Bellingham, I am still in awe to see deer at the bus stop. I love Matt + Blue.

dinsdag 30 augustus 2016 Up early to watch Bill Press. It's Tuesday, so Igor Volsky is on the show. Flashback to Young Frankenstein... No, it's pronounced eye-gor.

They talk about Trump's views on immigration and deportation... The flip-flop-flip. Trump to Hannity on deportation: “We’re going to see who people are". 24 hours later to Anderson: Undocumented will "leave the country". I love your tweets, Igor.

Such a busy day. I expected it. I dreaded it. It happens. I was dreading this as well... Thousands of protesters and supporters gather for Trump's visit to Everett. Well, it's 62.5 miles away from me.

Dinner and a movie. RIP Gene Wilder. Let's watch Young Frankenstein. In depthful resthpect.

zaterdag 27 augustus 2016 Nice to sleep in. Nice and cool and breezy. Bike ride to Boundary Bay Brewery & Bistro. The deck looks busy. Back to my place. Watch movie - The Naked Prey. Run! How gripping! Cornel Wilde is the great white hunter whose safari is wiped out by angry Zulus. Impressed with his bravery, they give him a chance to save his life.

By the way - Hillary Clinton's new tool lets you #TrumpYourself. Turn on Stephanie Miller. She chats with Diana Nyad about her new book Find A Way. Her story about swimming from Havana to Key West sounds scary...swimming with sharks and those cute little box jellyfish (who give a frighteningly powerful sting).

Down to work. It's Wood Chip Day! WE LOVE IT!

Nice sweaty ride back to my place. Watch France 24 - Encore. I'm impressed with Alexis Michalik. (Why not?) Handsome and talented. We are creatures of outer space... Let's watch Star Trek - By Any Other Name.

It's easy-going day at work. We're taking out the tire chips from the playground today. Can it be done? I hope. It's a warm 79.9 °F for the workers. Warm & sweaty bike ride home. Back home and back to politics. Trump Calls Hillary Clinton a "Bigot". I'm also trying to keep track of the Chi White Sox - Seattle Mariners game. It's goes back and forth.

Good film. Advice for first-time prisoners. 15 Things You Probably Didn't Know About Let's Go to Prison. So, this is an educational film. This is it. We're right in the thick of the action. We hang out here, go to lunch, come back, hang out some more, go to dinner... You know how someone might describe a situation that's unpleasant or confining as being, "like a prison"? With these uplifting thoughts, I go to work... which is a prison of its own kind. When I get off work, I shop at Trader Joe's for my dinner. It's a clusterf@#k! Back at home... Catch up with Democracy Now - Climate Study: By 2085 All U.S. Cities Except San Francisco Will Be Too Hot to Host Summer Olympics This is tough planet. There's another. Another?

They create their own chaos! But they enjoy the chaos. So stupid! Home to make dinner. Let's watch Star Trek: I, Mudd. I love this episode. The androids can't deal with the illogic of the humans.
