Santa Cruzans - SAVE SEABRIGHT PLAZA! I have friends who work in some of these businesses, and all I've frequented have given good service. The meeting about it is Sept. 29; the email of the City Planner is included in that photo. 1/2

My current read is Ride The Pink Horse by Dorothy B. Hughes. If this doesn't get me back to writing plot, nothing will. Seems to me I read something else by Hughes.

Desire Is Death is a hell ride, chock full of witty dialogue, cleverly drawn characters, and a plot that speeds along on all cylinders. I downed it in one sitting. Chris McGinley, author of Hail Holy Queens

This mattress impeded my early walk with Misha (that's her ear jutting into the lower left corner of the photo). She wouldn't proceed until I moved it out of her way. Little princess.

This arrived today. TBR next. I love Shawna's writing. Decent cover too, by some guy named Matisse.

Me this morning, me this afternoon. Next stop at losing weight, chop off my head!

It was bad enough losing his head, now the horseman has lost his horse.

My hair went insane last night, in an apparent attempt to catch up with the rest of me. Good luck.

Drunk Horse playing Priestmaker last night at the Crepe Place. Still Oakland's finest.

Outside a Santa Cruz phone store that caters primarily to Hispanics stands this stacked blonde mannequin. Seriously, you'd have to see her to believe it. Va-va-voom!

"This film is scientifically authentic..." other than the poster claiming this could happen tomorrow despite the presence of a hero who was first published in 1719.

The Rio tonight. I know people working it, but I won't be there.

The hair that came off Misha while I petted her in the second half of the Knicks game.

Blurry photo but the best I got of Scott H. Biram ("The H is for Fuck You") with the Supersuckers last night, doing Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers at Moe's Alley.

This showed up in today's mail. Thanks to Lee Matthew Goldberg for the mailing, and Chris McGinley for the writing. Do yourself a favor, make friends with editors and writers.

Found a remnant of old Santa Cruz.

In one of the bathrooms at The Crepe Place, Santa Cruz. I'm particularly interested in "Researchers Seeking Clue!"

I'm ready for my close-up, Mister DeMille.

Misha’s butt yesterday, on her thirteenth birthday. For a gift, I gave her a five mile walk.

Just hours ago, I was chatting with Christa at LCC. I get home today, and this has arrived in the mail. Yay, Hard Case Crime, yay Christa, and yay me.

She got legs, but does she know how to use them?

It’s a cafe, and it was closed. I really wanted to meet the staff.

We were at the Crepe Place, waiting out the rain. Oops.

Had a Bumble Bee in my head this morning. And look what record was staring at me from my shelves.

People can argue whether Seattle or Bad Bunny won the Super Bowl, but both sides are wrong. I won, because this was in a Little Free Library on my route to a Super Bowl party.

This has to be illegal; it's well past the trade deadline.

My hat and shirt are in conflict.

This was briefly among the ads on the board outside The Buttery. I know this is Santa Cruz, but can anyone translate this?

Discussing Hammett with Peter Rozovsky led to me finding this. It came with my copy of the black bird. It's a fake!

Misha insisted on going out back tonight. I leashed her for it because it was dark and if she saw a skunk I'm sure she'd charge it. We came inside and she went straight to bed, still wearing her leash.

There are dogs that don't like the rain, and there are dogs that love it. Guess what type I'm lucky enough to pal around with/be owned by.

Good morning! Don't wake the kids!
