SENSELESS ACTS

The good news is that we won't have to worry about presidential visits for the next four years. No motorcades, goons with sunglasses, helicopters overhead, closed off areas, inconveniently rerouted traffic.
Also good news: the states most likely to need FEMA will be out of luck next time. And deservedly so. Sometime tomorrow I will be updating my list of garbage states.

Also, with RFK Jr. making decisions about medical matters, the next pandemic should be a real doozy, and more people will die of preventably diseases than ever before, mostly in the red states. I'm not sure if that's good news or not. Still haven't decided. It might just be the silver lining we need.

While smoking my pipe in C'town this evening I noticed that there were fewer people around than usual, despite the balmy weather. They seemed quieter also. Even the tourists. After the burger, bar A and bar B, where I drank tea because even in the darkest hours I abstain from alcohol nowadays -- it might interact with something I'm taking -- there seemed even fewer people out, but they were considerably drunker than normal. Tomorrow should be an interesting day.

Well, as long as that deranged fundy wingnut Ellen Lee Zhou isn't the next mayor of San Francisco, I'm happy. We need a liberal in charge of this town.
Not some batty rightwing psycho.

The pipe was good. Red Virginias with a smidge of Perique. Seemed suitable for a pleasant evening near Jackson Street, where the hip jugend torched a driverless taxi at the beginning of the year. After the fact it was described as an act of defiance.
Resistance against "the man", man.
Down with the Borg.

The flood of expensive multi-colour printed landfill material which had been coming in for three solid months has ended; the only thing in my box yesterday was a grocery flyer.
Today I received the 2025 Social Security handbook.
Discussing Medicare Part A and B.

Quiet has returned.
