Apparently the renaming shenanigans isn’t over. Trump is now floating the idea of changing New Mexico to “New America.”

www.gatechecked.com/passenger-ti... Friends, don't EVER post a photo that contains a QR or bar code of something that might contain personal information. In this case, a woman posted a pic of her airline ticket, which some troll cancelled as a prank. Easy to do; no special skills required.

So let me get this straight. El*n's time in government is ending on exactly the same day it was scheduled to end, but everybody who is running with "leaks" about how he's disillusioned and quitting in a huff seems happy to be distracted enough not to ask if he's leaving with our fucking data.

Since the president wants to reward women for having large families, and celebrate winning wars, maybe his friend Vladimir has some spare Soviet medals lying about that we could get at a good price (art of the deal!). [No offense intended to those who honorably earned these awards]

Every one of California's major reservoirs is at or above average #water levels. Looks like a good water year overall. Three in a row: extremely unusual. Drought is persisting in southern California forests and soils, but water supplies should be plentiful.

It's January 1st, and I've spent most of the day on the patio reading. The patio is on the south side of the house, so it's been quite comfortable. Now it's time to start grilling the tri-tip. Life in the hills of Northern Arizona is going great.

My feet are propped up on a plastic chair. I'm reading a Dan Brown book. Even though it's January, it's a comfortable day to be on the patio.
