oldmanfoster.bsky.social @oldmanfoster.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Found this in a buck bin at a Santa Cruz bookstore - biography of Jim Foshee, a gay man who came out in the late 1950s, and was connected to several pioneering gay right groups, including The Mattachine Society. Fascinating read. 010

oldmanfoster.bsky.social @oldmanfoster.bsky.social · 28/05/2026Got back from playing a tour of France and Spain a couple of weeks ago - it contained multitudes and I'm only now beginning to process the whole experience. If i was a guy who wrote books this would be good source material 110
oldmanfoster.bsky.social @oldmanfoster.bsky.social · 19/03/2026IL-09 has broken peoples' brains. This guy A) describes a former mayor/state senator/state rep as someone who did nothing more than be a 'politician looking white guy' B ) thinks House terms are four years C) has no idea that Pelosi isn't in leadership and is leaving congress. Democracy y'all! 020

oldmanfoster.bsky.social @oldmanfoster.bsky.social · 09/02/2026These were everywhere when I did a trip in Italy in '04... so bizarre. The original Multipla is one of my favorite cars ever! 000
oldmanfoster.bsky.social @oldmanfoster.bsky.social · 06/02/2026DSA candidate narrowly takes the primary in NJ 11 to replace Mikie Sherrill... vote split is reminiscent of the recent Sacto mayor's race primary, where Dr. Flo consolidated the left vote while McCarty, Pan and Hansen split the establishment vote. Can Porter do the same in Gov's race? 000
oldmanfoster.bsky.social @oldmanfoster.bsky.social · 06/02/2026interesting that Bitcoin has lost almost half its value in six months... i wonder if this is a canary in the coal mine? I imagine people start selling off their bizarro currency when they start needing actual money. 120

oldmanfoster.bsky.social @oldmanfoster.bsky.social · 31/07/2025Really enjoyed this book about Sacto's Olympic swim coach Sherm Chavoor, but opens up a slew of questions- like why did he adopt the name and bio of the original Sherm Chavoor (a UCLA football player)? I guess we'll never know 000

oldmanfoster.bsky.social @oldmanfoster.bsky.social · 11/04/2025Just finished Skyline, reporter Gene Fowler's uneven walk down memory lane, revisiting his early New York days. Lots of Damon Runyon nuggets, lots of Hearst anecdotes... and lotta stories of folks who were still remembered in 1960 when this was published but who are pretty much forgotten today. 010
oldmanfoster.bsky.social @oldmanfoster.bsky.social · 23/02/2025That this turkey landed on any Top 10 lists, let alone at #1, is objectively hilarious. or maybe 2002 was just a terrible year for movies? 000
oldmanfoster.bsky.social @oldmanfoster.bsky.social · 22/02/2025Read Gangs of New York recently so decided to watch the Scorcese movie last night. It was ... not good. 110
oldmanfoster.bsky.social @oldmanfoster.bsky.social · 02/01/2025Met up with some car geek pals and did a New Years drive and picnic in the Delta. My Crosley was the oldest car (1950) AND smallest displacement (723cc) in the bunch, but it ran like a champ! 000
