Cool to see Malibu, Santa Monica, and Venice from above, my childhood playground. There's some weird geology north of LA, folded sediments. I'll have to look it up. The place we lived in the desert for a couple of years in the late 60's is unrecognizable, by me, anyway. 70's F here. Headed someplace a teeny bit warmer π΄π πΉπ₯π Dreading the long flight, maybe I can sleep. I swore I'd never do it again, but π€·ββοΈ LAX is just bigger, no memories of it from gate 69A. Could be anywhere.

Alex Ross in the New Yorker: "You wake up and brace yourself for the barrage of toxic gibberish that constitutes the modern public sphere. Your e-mail is overrun with spam, scams, and smut. There are voicemails from no one about nothing. A glance at the news reveals that the President is continuing to spew lies and obscenities; that a trillionaire is peddling white-supremacist propaganda on a social-media platform he owns; that a chart-topping musical artist is praising Hitler, or apologiz...

Cw morbid: in times of intense smoke, for me there's a thing of not quite red carpet "who are you wearing," but who are you breathing.

Mildly apocalyptic out there today in the smoky heat, I've seen a few makeshift burnouses, I guess that's not that unusual for Eugene. Not a lot of flannel today. People more concerned with surviving the day than being bitchy about it. My not so glamorous life. But I wanted a globe from the thrift. Didn't find one, so it was me and my skein of yarn wandering through the smoker that is Oregon today. The low income routes have transit cops.

I had a lyric on my mind today. Looking up a Talking Heads lyrical fragment can be a journey. Looking at a list of song titles... I take it for granted that I can dive into a discography like that, unimaginable when I was a kid, not just because they weren't a band yet. The weirdest part is that I couldn't find it and remembered it was Paul Simon. I could *never* have imagined confusing David Byrne with Paul Simon. These are the days of miracle and wonder π

I woke up this morning trying to say "synechdoche." I know how to say it, but not before caffeine. I kept stumbling midway through, it was kind of funny. No clue of the context of synechdoche, I think it has to do with the book I was reading when I fell asleep. But I like it when I wake up laughing, your turn next....

I didn't do a thing today worth writing home about, that's fine, but I did get some of the rice I like to finish the soup. When in doubt, cook some rice. It's an organic sprouted brown short grain rice, sounds woo woo, but if it's there, why not π

It's another wild Saturday night. One of us is watching Hail Mary again, but they seem fine with it. I really like the German actor who plays the head of the project, I'd like to see some of her films.

Crickets are really loud out back. Such a relaxing sound on summer nights. The people that lived here before had a hammock out there, I was always waking up at 2 AM shivering and disoriented π
