Iʻve used mailbox.org from Germany as my email provider for quite a few years. Nice see they continue to add new security features. Often these features are to protect us from ourselves.

Since we’re not at retirement (2 years or so) The bulk of our investments will be untouched for years. Funds will likely trickle out giving the value time to rebound. Unless SS is fucked with, then all bets are off

Just finished watching Civil War (for the 4th time). Can only hope for a similar ending in real life.

Going through an archive of 1920 recording of Hawaiian Music. One predominant artist was July Paka 1874 - 1943vand his wife Toots Paka (Hannah Jones Paka) 1871 - 1942. He was born in Honolulu, his mother a favorite singer of the Queen. He moved to the US in 1917 and made it big.

Watching Civil War again, as tick closet from plausability to reality.

The last time I was this mad at Baseball (specifically the Dodgers this time) was the strike season 94-95. I didnʻt watch Major league baseball for quite a while. At that time, I went to a lot a UH Hilo college games. Even did color on the radio broadcasts for a couple of seasons.

In Hawaiian music you can find a song first recorded in 1914 and the same song as been re-recorded for over 100 years and other than the recording quality, itʻs the same song and sounds pretty much the same. Poli Pumehana (Press Me To Thy Bosom) 1914 Sunday Manoa 2003

Lymanʻs Beach. Last evening and this morning

The thing that bothers me about this is that I look at baseball as my apolitical escape. It’s not about going to the White House, it’s about going to THIS White House. Trump’s White House. The Dodgers have put themselves in the middle of this mess.

Had a great call with our investment advisor today. Because we have a lot of our retirement in Real Estate we’re in better shape than many. He was also firm about sitting tight for at least a couple of weeks and letting the short term play out.

Lyman’s beach. Same place I was as sunset last night with my wife. Out for a morning walk. Damn it’s hot this morning.

My Dodgers had an affair with a pedophile. It’s s broken relationship. I need space. I’ll watch any other team.
