No baths, no taxis, no airplanes, no helicopters.

GRETA THUNBERG: Boats are passable.

JOHN RUBENS: That’s reason enough to keep them in the Beltway.

Paul McCartney plays Hollywood Boulevard. My wife asked, “Why would a millionaire like Paul McCartney play Hollywood Boulevard?”

Free concert for US. For the people of the street and locals like us. Then she remember Paul saw her as he began a song, as if singing to her about it as she shuffled off the bus onto the Walk of Fame. #Angelenos “Where is she going?” Paul must have thought.

“To me across the street at N. Orange Drive Paul.”

Dear Rep. Anna Eshoo:

Saw most of hearing with three experts.

What if the revolutionary constitutional government of the United States of America is, after all, doing most things competently in regard to: competing interests in a culture of smashing and blending together, separating by geography and ways of civility.

Maybe ATF is now: Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, Cannabis, Sexual Desire [BMBL]

Sincerely,

I’m a snitch. I will vouch for the nice #Australian I met last night.

The alright Australian. I used to back the Koalas. Now, like God, I’ll back the humans to protect the planet. “Will my Son find peace on earth?”–Fictional God [I don’t speak for God–or do I?] subtext: Prophets get killed, even in the suburbs.

JOHN RUBENS: No. [beat] The Wizard of Oz might have been wrong. I love.

subtext: Joel E. Dimsdale, MD was on uctv and he gave webcasts from Oct. 20-21, 2021 on “brainwashing”. He noted social media is an intoxicant and will have to be regulated like drunk driving was in the 1920’s.

One Hundred Miles, One hundred years.

It is scary, that’s why believers start praying. Sensible. One can pray focused with fasting and contemplative prayer. Makes sense to stay out of calamities. Compare benefits of Meditation. Worshiping God, linking self to Body of Christ/a cosmic consciousness: rock concerts, “feel” of a room. See No Exit par Jean-Paul Sartre.

Just had some Fiji water. A guy hit my car and paid me the full amount to have the bodywork done on my old Acura. He was a new salesman circa 2008. Madison at N. Orange Dr. Hollywood. Fiji most fine. Like alkaline water but naturally so.

CHORUS: And the sky is gray-A!

WILSON: Ann would give you an A.

ME: Whatever is stolen, pray for general welfare during one’s pain. See #RickWarren: #ChooseJoy Mrs. Wilson; Ann and Nancy Wilson of HEART.

“you” is Mama CASS

“Mrs. Wilson” is the spouse of Pastor Rick Warren, presumably Mrs. Warren. I’ve known some Warrens 1965-1975. He was a customs agent for the U.S. Customs Service. Proud of his whole family. Moon landing at his house.

If I don’t stop slandering Rep. Liz Cheney, R-WY and start loving her, I’ll wind up obsessed, like Edgar Allan Poe: Unable to provide patriotism.

I’m sorry to both big Lizes and Liza Minelli, I never said a bad thing about HER! Queen Elizabeth II, Queen of England is the second of the Lizes, above.
