If only they had masked properly.

It might be water damaged but the vinyl is still crisp and I got it for free. I think this is the first album I’ve seen with braille on the cover. Stevie Wonder = 🐐

Snapshot of the cover of Stevie Wonder’s “Journey through the secret life of plants”. The cover is a very pale light green, and there is significant water damage on the right side. The artist name and album title are writing on a darker green with a small square line drawing of a flower and leaves adorns the center of the cover.

A close up photo that shows that the braille lettering at the bottom of the album cover.

Nic Cage has more than one movie coming out this summer. We have to watch out for ourselves:

Ut oh … someone from the Dept of Ed read my paper on how poorly the government and schools responded to rural learners with disabilities during the pandemic. Hope they liked our Betsy Devos reference 😏

It’s Fine, We’re Not Even Counting This Anyways”: Remote Educational Experiences of Rural Families With a Child With a Disability During the Early COVID-19 Pandemic” is underneath.

As a former PE teacher, I’ve got lots of experience with whistles. I’d suggest the Fox40 classic for anyone in the market. Pros: it’s loud, there’s no internal ball (bonus in cold weather as they can freeze with use) & it’s only $7.50. You’re local PE teachers may have some extras laying around.

I don’t often mention this but my grandfather did *some really important things during WW2. I really wish I could talk to him about the world right now. Exhibit A: (photo) my grandfather is seated at the bottom right with his back to camera. *You might recognize some others people at the table.

Photograph from discussions of the Allied forces in Yalta. Seated around a white table with a light table cloth is: Winston Churchill, who at the bottom right of the frame and is holding his iconic cigar; and Franklin D. Roosevelt is seated at the top right of the frame and is surrounded by several US diplomats (unknown by me). FDR is staring across the table at Joseph Stalin who appears to be leaning towards his advisors and jockeying for “authority”. My grandfather is seated at the table directly across from FDR, at the bottom of the frame. He spoke Russian, and we assume that he served as a “fact-checker” for FDR during negotiations with Stalin (this is all unconfirmed).

Stuff sucks. Here is a cute photo of my dog sleeping like a human.

Large white lab sleeping with their head on a pillow. Their feet are stretched toward the camera. They are laying on their side with their shoulder on the start of the pillow; they’re laying their chin on the rest of the pillow with their head facing the right frame of the camera…adorably.

All the footage from the past day, and months before that, keep reminding me of this passage from Catch 22:

"…the words were ambiguous, realized with alarm that they were not, perhaps, intended as a call for police but as a heroic warning from the grave by a doomed friend to everyone who was not a policeman with a club and a gun and a mob of other policemen with clubs and guns to back him up. "Help!Police!" the man had cried, and he could have been shouting of danger." (Joseph Heller, Catch-22)

On Nov 8, I made this and shared it on punk Reddit. Still seems salient. Thought I’d share it here too.

Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi as the Blues Brothers. Dan as Elwood Blues is on the left. He is standing with his head tilted toward the center of the frame; looking directly at the camera. John as Jake Blues is on the right. He is standing with his elbow resting on Elwood’s shoulder. His hand is in a fist, knuckles towards the camera. He is also looking at the camera; his right eyebrow is raised. Both men are dressed in their signature black suit, with narrow tie, black hat, and sunglasses. They are standing in a disused factory yard. Their iconic blues mobile (former black and white police car) is about 10 feet behind Elwood on the left side of the photo. The photo has been edited to a sepia tone. In bright white, centered on the lower third of the photo, are the words “I hate American Nazis”. The font looks like scribbled graffiti.

Enjoying the sunshine, and sticks.

Happy Xmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Solstice, Yule, Boxing Day, and Festivus, ya filthy animals…and, a happy new year! Love the CDs

Family Xmas photo standing in front of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. Me, my wife and dog are on the right side of the frame. We have goofy smiles and are hugging. I’m holding our large white dog, her head is flopped toward the camera; she has a look of indignation. I am wearing a red and black flannel with a Santa hat. My wife is wearing a bright red long dress.
