hair donderdag 8 september 2016 Watch France 24. When I wake up, it's already 2 PM in Paris. The French President delivers a key speech - Democracy is stronger than barbarism.

Bonjour, la belle France. Meanwhile... In the USA... Matt Lauer stumbled through the televised presidential nominee forum with the grace of a construction worker in a ballet class. Lauer allowed Trump to ramble as he pleased and harassed Hillary about the e-mails. Trump, Clinton face questions in defence policy grilling. In the HuffPo - Brad Pitt Tries To Understand Trump Supporters But Can't. I completely agree with you, Brad. It's cloudy in the morning. I get a buzzcut at Jes' place during my lunch break. It's a relief to take the boisterous kids outside. The expandable ball is taken around the playground quite a few times.

Watch Rick Steves' special - The Holy Land: Israelis and Palestinians Today. Beautiful. Fascinating. I enjoyed the olive harvest segment. A tradition that goes back thousands of years. Yep... Walls just divide people. Thanks, Rick, for being our travel ambassador of goodwill.

woensdag 7 september 2016

woensdag 7 september 2016 Joseph Cirincione - the president of Ploughshares Fund - is on The Bill Press Show. We thought that the Cold War was over. It's not! Nuclear Nightmares: Securing the World Before It Is Too Late.

Turn on Stephanie Miller. She talks with Bob Cesca on the phone. Well, looking at the recent polls, we're wondering Why is America so dumb? Within our present system, a reality-show demagogue can make a legit run for president — that has to change. Bob's recent post - Exploiting a broken system: Trump’s within striking distance of Hillary — and that’s mind-boggling. I didn't realize. Minor 3.2 quake rattles area east of Bellingham. Here's the Interactive Map. (And a png.)

One episode of Matt & Blue before I conk out. Hey, deer! Do you want a rice cracker? What do you want donkey? Friendly donkeys. Welcome to Cripple Creek.

dinsdag 6 september 2016

dinsdag 6 september 2016 Clinton and Trump begin final sprint of presidential election. They practically bump into each other in Cleveland. Trump Does Detroit! Oy, vey! I'm cringing, too, David. It's a busy day at work. We manage a little better, but 11 toddlers in one space is not quality child care. Bev yells at the kids (as usual). I'm sick of her yelling. Yelling is not teaching. We go outside a couple times. The clouds burn off late in the day.

Here we go... I'm going to watch Bridegroom.

maandag 5 september 2016

maandag 5 september 2016 I love these guys. Matt and Ross Duffer On Their Hit Show - CBS News. I love Stranger Things.

Happy Birthday to Star Trek. Oy vey! Fifty years. It feels like an autumn day. Cloudy and chilly. Still, on my ride into town, a young man smiles at me. I admit that I was feeling rather low. I think of Joe Jackson - Another World. It just takes a smile, and you're in Another World. Thank you, Joe.

zondag 4 september 2016 Why am I up so early? My back aches! Watch Star Trek: The Empath.

I love Matt and Blue with their little boy Crow. Their whole family is cute. Matt Talks About Worst Cooks In America. I have to laugh with Blue Hamilton...

When Matt laid in the tub, I got a serious Kyle XY flashback.

Why White People Should Not Watch the MTV Documentary White People... Well, I watched it - White People. I notice that they visit Bellingham. Running throughout the program are scenes of town-hall discussions in places like Rapid City, South Dakota; Bellingham, Washington; and Phoenix.

zaterdag 3 september 2016

zaterdag 3 september 2016 Saturday morning movie - Monty Python and the Holy Grail. So many good scenes. The old English historian tries to explain it... before he's hacked down.

The ferocity of the French taunting took him completely by surprise, and Arthur became... Arg! It's funny. On my bike ride, I usually think of the wicked witch of the west theme. I feel like a Miss Gulch when I going to work. But I sing Ride Like Wind especially when I'm riding home.

Today, I have a long weekend to play with and I hear Slow Ride when I ride. Woo! / Slow ride, take it easy / Slow ride, take it easy / Slow ride, take it easy...

vrijdag 2 september 2016

vrijdag 2 september 2016 Watch France 24. Thousands without power as Hurricane Hermine batters Florida. I love the France 24 perspective... especially when they analyze American politics. Trump's 'Wall To Wall' Politics. The weather report - lots of rain Wrong! I chicken out and take the bus to work. Easy-going day. Total - 8 kids. It seems nice when Sam brings out his guitar at the last snack time. His Itsy Bitsy Spider is pretty good.

My back is killing me. I'm very grateful to leave early. I watch some news. Historic crystal serenity voyage. Eat some dinner. My movie - Superman: The Movie.
