Kalapana before the 1984 lava flow

Changed my Guardian app to the UK edition.

The AMEX algorithm isn’t paying attention. I’ve never been to Las Vegas and never been to New York. They keep sending me dining and entertainment suggestions in those cities.

I have subscribed to a number of current events newsletters for a few year now from sources that I trust. I’m pausing them all. I don’t want to mainline the news for at least the next 4 years. I’ll get news when I’m in the mood or from tertiary sources. During Trump I it was morbid curiosity.

Younger people, if you don’t get to the Doctor often or have good relationships with you Doctor, here’s something I started in my 30s and still do. Every year on my birthday I call my Dr and have him order bloodwork and for an annual check up. It will catch things earlier.

Ok Marvel. I get it. The multiverse means no one really dies. Let’s get on with it

Watched HighwayMen on Netflix. I enjoyed it. Nice flow. Good to see Costner and Harrelson work together.

Double standard. When we went on our recent trip to N Cal., my wife’s boss insisted she be available and had to take her work phone. Her boss is now on a family trip to Disneyland and the 49ers game and has been incommunicado for the duration. Boomer (my wife) vs GenX

Some of these updates feel like a graphics rich webpage loading on dialup.

Micro.blog might end up being our safe haven in Trump’s FCC

My wife said to just watch. When Musk starts getting more attention than Trump. Trump will snap, he has to be top fiddle

Dublin

And so it begins anew.

Watching Once Upon a Time in Northern Ireland on PBS. Very powerful.

Looks like the 72 Dolphins might carry this to their graves.

Officially created a Sonoma/Petaluma bookmarks folder. My wife has been going through neighborhoods on Google maps. It’s likey still 2+ years away. It’s more of an uproot than a move. We stilll have her oldest and 2 grandsons in Kona, whose fate is to be determined (will they want to also move?)

I remember when politics was more of a fringe subject. Everyone pretty much played fair and politicians more or less behaved. Those that didn’t were the outliers, not the mainstream.

I’ve always loved this album. Na Kai ‘Ewalu - the ocean that separates us also ties us together. I had the cassette when it came out and wore it out in my little Isuzu truck circling Hawaii island

I had read that the critics slammed this album said Charlie Parker had sold out. The Public loved it. Brought a whole new audience into jazz.

Just missed it. In Costco on a Friday again

Finished the last piece of that Costco apple pie

Great news from the WC insurance adjuster. They’re fine with me going back to work 2 non-successive days for the first week, then see how my shoulder reacts. 2nd week of December

Windy everywhere else on Hawaii Island. But a little too much SES in the direction it’s coming from to clear Hualalai. It did blow out all of the clouds, so it’s hot
