My grandfather fought fascists in Europe. My uncle fought fascists in the Pacific. Now I guess I have to fight fascists at home. If ANTIFA were an actual organization I would gleefully show you my membership card. Join the resistance. We are The Ghor.

The plan for today is an epic, bonkers road trip. San Diego, CA to Phoenix, AZ via Palm Springs.

I should post here more often but I just get so pissed off over the state of the US that I want to curl up in a ball on the floor with a blanket over my head.

Nothing like a little dental surgery to kick off your week. About a month’s worth of all consuming pain will hopefully start to resolve itself today. No guarantees though. Crud.

We've added two more Rush shows to our concert travels for 2026.... two more and counting, maybe.

Did I mention we’re going to two more Rush shows?

Our Rush tickets are six days away. So close, yet so very, very far.

Six days until the Rush show. Six long days. It feels like an eternity.

The new pocket sized point and shoot I bought off eBay still works on day two. One step closer to the Rush show in less than two weeks.

Yup, it Still Works

I’m so happy that my silly little point and shoot camera still works on day two. I haven’t broken this one yet. Sigh of relief.

Robert James @mrnobody2112.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

My second attempt at replacing my favorite digital point and shoot camera. So far so good.

It was just over 11 years ago. June of 2015. We had tickets to two Rush concerts. One at TD Garden in Boston and the other at Madison…
