Having a cat means hearing him barf in the middle of the night 🌙 and not worrying about cleaning up until morning.

Please don't disrespect house cats. They have way more integrity than mango 🥭 Mussolini.

Currently reading Black In the Woods. 19th century abolitionist owned vast swaths of land in the Adirondacks. In the 1840s, he offered 40-60 acre plots to Black settlers. Just getting into this book; seems he wasn't entirely successful. This is really local to where I live.

Ziggy's life is really tough. He supervises anytime I change guitar 🎸 strings. He kibitzes when I'm writing an article. And periodically, he inspects the basement to make sure it's shipshape and Bristol fashion.

Most days, Ziggy comes down from his post breakfast nap for attention. Then he goes back upstairs for the mid morning nap.

Only thing that ticks me off more is people who park in a disabled spot and they don't have a permit. And they think putting the flashers on makes it OK.

My current read: Gerrit Smith was an NY abolitionist who owned vast tracts of land in the Adirondack mountains. In the mid 1840s, offered 40-60 acre plots to ~3000 Black settlers at no charge. It's history from below, local to where I live. Catching up on what I shoulda learned in school.

I've written elsewhere: I honestly thought people in the UK and Europe had more sense than here in the US. When I visited Germany last year, VW Golf sedan and estate, and similar vehicles from other manufacturers, seemed to be the dominant size. Love my Golf estate.

I love my Golf estate. Sadly, the manual transmission version is difficult to find in the US.

On Juneteenth, I'm reading The Black Woods: it's about Black setllers in the northern Adirondacks. Right where I live, and history from below. What could be better?

In my continuing campaign to dominate the airwaves, I've set up an account on Subvert. If you like ambient electronic music, scope this out. Both my solo work and pieces with my longtime friend and collaborator, Sal Robert Pauciello. subvert.fm/skylight #ambientmusic

Coming back to Fripp's solo rekkid, Exposure, after a 25 year gap. Stunning work: Breathless draws from Crimson's Red. HaadenTwo and others foretell what Thrak would be like. Others have the same vibe as the Discipline band. And prog and punk collide in a head-in crash.

Five minutes after I pick.upnthe guitar, this critter starts walking in circles around me. He won't stop until he gets whatever it is he wants that day.
