donderdag 31 mei 2018 Turn on KUOW. A mind-opening discussion with Michael Pollan about his new book - How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence.

Let's watch Stargate Atlantis: Sunday. Fun episode! I'd like to hang out with Ronon and Sheppard... drink beer.

I love their conversation. Lt. Col. Sheppard: You dating anyone? Ronon: You mean like a woman? Lt. Col. Sheppard: Or a man. Ronon: No. It was very brave of the SG production team to do this, and I love how none of the characters batted an eyelid, like it was a very normal question. The Cavs play The Warriors this evening. I wonder if an ad for Degree by Stephen will appear.

Stephen Curry: I Don't Know What a Finals Is Without Cavaliers, LeBron James. The Warriors and the Cavaliers tip off in Game 1 of the NBA Finals from Oracle Arena. This is the fourth-straight year that Cleveland and Golden State battle for the championship. Is this a time-loop scenario? Let's do the Time Warp Again!

dinsdag 29 mei 2018 BOOO! It's Tuesday! Yankees fans boo Rudy Giuliani on his birthday. That's pretty loud! Today is Starbucks Day! Good luck with this thing. Starbucks Closes More Than 8,000 Stores Today For Racial Bias Training. This happened in Seattle. Two women ask for the Starbucks bathroom code. One of them is black. It's the Starbucks on 4th and Seneca!

zaterdag 26 mei 2018 Up with Tarzan on KVOS. Carry me away with you! Starring the lovely and talented Ron Ely. One of our favorite Heroes & Icons of the 60s.

Maxine is always fallowing me. I might drop some food for her.

Pete is usually the sentinel. He's comfy upstairs in his chair.

Caui is the most patient cat. She likes the brush. They're all cool.

What if... No I'm NOT gonna turn the beat around! I'm watching The Martian on FX... viewer discretion advised.

dinsdag 22 mei 2018

dinsdag 22 mei 2018 It's the big 666 for me on Twitter! Yay!

I like your t-shirt, Bill Press. Be proud to wear it! Suddenly as timely as a tweet - 'An Enemy Of The People' Trump Has Made It Popular Again.

North Korea to make a show of the shutdown of nuclear test site in Punggye-ri. First you fly into an airport that's never been used.

Ben Tracy reports: That site is in a very mountainous part of the country and we are told we may begin the journey there Tuesday night. The trip will take 11 hours on a very slow moving train, four hours in a bus and then a one-hour hike to the site. Let's buy an DPRK flag!

Back to home base... Oh My God! The cottonwood seeds are overwhelming! They fly into your mouth and up the nose! Yuck!

maandag 21 mei 2018 Lost in Space: The Keeper. While tampering with the controls on the Keeper’s spaceship, Dr. Smith releases a variety of horrible monsters from their exhibits.  Oh, Dr. Smith! The monster spider is tacky, and it tries to hump the poor Chariot.

Klingon Ambassador Kamarag: Behold the quintessential Devil in these matters: James T. Kirk, renegade and terrorist. This old Star Trek movie (1986) is so much fun for me. The Voyage Home - one of the best Save The Earth and Save The Whales movies.

Santa Fe student - Rome Shubert - describes his experience at the shooting on Good Morning America. He said that he scaled a 7-foot wall as he fled, initially not realizing he had been shot in the head. Pat Benatar's - We Belong song has been playing in my head ALL DAY! after seeing Deadpool 2. The song illustrates the theme of "family" that the writers were trying to explore. BTW... Stay through the credits. The movie is great! Pat Benatar is great! 27,961,934 views for We Belong on YouTube.

zondag 20 mei 2018

zondag 20 mei 2018 Bishop Michael Curry came by Weekend Update to talk about the Royal Wedding. The message of love really does work anywhere! Tom and Lance revisit Bovey Castle where they got married and pet animals at the Miniature Pony Centre. Something much more serious... I watch Dunkirk on HBO. It's 67° and partly cloudy. Iron Street has a lot of these irises!

I'm not drunk, but I'm not sober. My head's spinning for this four leaf clover. I heard this on the radio, and I had to look it up right away.

zaterdag 19 mei 2018

zaterdag 19 mei 2018 Santa Fe school shooting: Pakistan exchange student among victims (VIDEO). These kids don't deserve this. Student - Alejandro Vargas: It broke my heart to see what was going on.

To inject some humor into the tragedy, I watch Real Time. Great description by Bill Maher on how Trump believes things should not apply to him. New Rule - Trump is above the law (VIDEO).

Today, I rode my bike up, up and up Barkley Blvd. (then down) to Silver Beach.  Tanglewood Lane seems to be at the top of the hill.

I always wanted to do that. I had to get off and walk. Too much traffic for me. (People like to drive.) Nice scenery. Nice houses, too.

In time to watch Bonanza - Judgement at Red Creek on MeTV. Ah, c'mon, Little Joe. The glorification of the gun... always on Bonanza.

Nuuk, Greenland... I'm infected with Paul Barbato's enthusiasm! He visits this crazy, extraordinary place. It's his #1 destination. Dude! Thanks for sharing. Weather - Nuuk. Hmm. No pollen.

vrijdag 18 mei 2018

vrijdag 18 mei 2018 Sad day. Another school shooting. We need to act on the epidemic of gun violence. One student from Sante Fe High School said I was scared not shocked. It's happening everywhere, I knew it was going to happen eventually. Doesn't that break your heart? More than 100 die when an airliner crashed and exploded near Havana.

donderdag 17 mei 2018

donderdag 17 mei 2018 I'm having lots of fun with Geography Now! - a YouTube channel done by Paul Barbato. This planet is your home. Learn about it! I started with Israel. Life as a stormtrooper isn't always easy. Allen Xie explains. I love him! Canadian singer, song-writer Shawn Mendes is on Ellen!

Amazing! Mendes was included on Time's annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world. He recounts the Awkward Moment When Meeting The Royal Family. Bon soir. Et à demain. Tout va bien! C'est bien jusqu’ici.

woensdag 16 mei 2018

woensdag 16 mei 2018 Stormtroopers lined the steps of the Grand Theatre Lumiere as director Ron Howard and members of his cast arrived for screening. ‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’ touches down in Cannes.

Chewbacca actor Joonas Suotamo towers over co-stars. He's 6' 9" Wow!

Turn on Stephanie Miller. Trump. Treason. Scandals. Grifting. The death of democracy. The demagoguery. It gets to be too much! Malcolm Nance - author and media commentator on terrorism, intelligence, insurgency and torture - chats with Steph. Indictment after indictment... This investigation will be ginormous! I used to know a neighbor in Linwood Park who was from Denmark. I'm learning Danish watching The Rain. Det ligner lort, det her. (It looks like shit, here.) Beatrice to Rasmus: I don't like people saying nice things to me. (Oh, boy! I can't wait!) Things get juicy!

Kan jeg få en øl?

dinsdag 15 mei 2018 Turn on France 24. It's Cannes 2018! Who will win the Palme d'Or this year? The Directors' Fortnight (French: Quinzaine des Réalisateurs) is an independent section held in parallel to the Cannes Film Festival. It has its roots in the period of social unrest in France in 1968 established to protect “the artistic, moral, professional and economic freedoms of cinema.” Jack Jenkins - reporter for Religion News Service - is on Bill Press to talk about politics and religion. Evangelicals, Gaza in flames and all of the chaos around #JerusalemEmbassy.

Seattle City Council agreed to tax big businesses making more than $20 million a year in revenue to pay for homelessness services and affordable housing. So, the "head tax" is reality. Maybe they could give me some of that money so I could relocate to Seattle... my old home. Pins on Renny Reep's hat. Tax the rich! Tax Amazon!

Next... the apocalyptic drama The Rain. I only watched the first episode, and I don't exactly feel compelled to watch any more. Starved for oxygen, Simone and Rasmus escape the bunker. I hope that Rasmus can find some clothes... Is it a priority?

Back in the 80s in Seattle, a boy friend was crazy about a new-found group - U2. I got The Joshua Tree album. I loved it so much! (I still have the dusty old cassette.) I still love you, U2!

maandag 14 mei 2018

maandag 14 mei 2018 Good night's sleep! I like Jack Jenkins' statue of Yoda in his garden. "Yes, a Jedi's strength flows from the Force." 😁

Turn on Stephanie Miller. What a great thought from Travis Bone! The Republicans lose control of the House. The Speaker of the House of Representatives is 2nd in line of succession for the presidency. Trump and Pence go to jail! Nancy Pelosi - the San Francisco treat - becomes Madam President! It's wishful thinking, but a path actually exists! President Pelosi? Could 77 be the new 46? (Now 78.)

My brain travels to The City by the Bay... especially to North Beach. (Thanks, Nancy.) Pizza and gelato parlors, cappuccino and the Beats.

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home takes place in the city... and in space. What a diffrence! It's 79° here in Bellingham and 58° in San Francisco. Watch Outer Limits - Moonstone. These aliens used to scare the crap out of me when I was a kid... only 7-years-old.

With that... Take care. Nice Dreams! Goodnight from Bellingham.

The steps Man takes across the heavens of his universe are as uncertain as those steps he takes across the rooms of his own life. And yet if he walks with an open mind, those steps must lead him eventually to that most perfect of all destinations, truth.

zondag 13 mei 2018

zondag 13 mei 2018 Blade Runner 2049 is my midnight movie. Yes! K (Ryan Gosling) learns that he’s a replicant with a hybrid’s memories.

Turn on BBC News. Yay! Eurovision 2018: Netta wins for Israel with Toy. I'm all hot and sweaty after a little bike ride. It's 70° and sunny.

Home to watch the Cavs - Celtics game. The Cavs are struggling to find an offensive rhythm... shooting 30%. The Celtics are on fire, man!

I'm hot, tired and going to bed. Let everything rot to hell.

zaterdag 12 mei 2018

zaterdag 12 mei 2018 Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) battles the horrible Jabba the Hut and the cruel Darth Vader to save his comrades in the Rebel Alliance and triumph over the Galactic Empire. The Emperor: Come, boy, see for yourself. From here, you will witness the final destruction of the Alliance and the end of your insignificant rebellion. Saturday morning movie: Return Of The Jedi.

Beautiful day for walking and biking. It's sunny and warm. Wander down to 521 Kentucky Street to say "Hi!" to the gorgeous chicken at the quirky HOMESKILLET.

Back home to check out the game. The Mariners are in Detroit to play the Tigers. Wow! That's a huge, awesome statue of a tiger! It's lovely at Comerica Park. But they need a retractable roof.
