Sunrise. Cascade foothills. Deciduous trees in autumn colors, tall conifers with low clouds through the treetops.

Songwriters, recording artists, from here on out, maybe it’s a labor of love. Here’s a gift article from the NYT. Musicians Versus the A.I. Machine. Why Bother Writing Songs Anymore? www.nytimes.com/2026/10/03/a...

Stevie was a great inspiration for me in my youth. It’s great to hear what might’ve been on that record. Thanks!

Lovely shortish hike with NM Mt Club today, section of Continental Divide Trail on the NW flank of Tsoodził (named Mt. Taylor by white people). So cool to hike on an ancient strato-volcano.

I keep telling all of these criminals, when they’re trying to come up with an alibi, “Don’t fuck with Perry Mason.” They don’t stand a chance!
