Time heals all wounds. First Waymo experience. Walking and talking in Los Angeles.
It's almost like I chose to come to the planet to repeatedly be taught the lesson to have no expectations and then to repeatedly forget it and learn it again. Maybe that's the whole reason I'm here.
Get ready to be ready. What is it that you want to create that you feel love about? What can you focus on that gives you your sovereign self? What gives you that feeling of a divine homestead where you can create your roots? What gives you that feeling of connection with the eternal flow of life? What do you want to set up for the next nine years?
What is the truth of what’s going on right now?

A college of where are we this Memorial Day. How’s everybody doing? Let’s just sit back and take stock. I’ll be sad anyway on Memorial Day. All the plans that I made have all withered away and turned into light. No one here knows anything about me. I’ll be sad anyway on Memorial Day. All the choices I made turned my friends into strangers and turned into light. No one here knows anything about me. I’ll be sad anyway on Memorial Day.
I was honored, privileged, and humbled to attend the Communities Over Highways summit in Minneapolis/St. Paul last week. Thank you to Our Streets and America Walks for the opportunity. I left inspired, resolute, and quite overwhelmed at the immensity of the task before us. And just today the House of Representatives moved to rescind $3 billion for reconnecting communities divided by highways from the Biden administration's infrastructure bill. The work continues. Resist.
As the train rolls by like our conscious lives. I can kinda swallow and breathe again and Ibuprofen is starting to put a dent in it. Even the Daily show says they made Covid in a Chinese lab now. Joe Rogan was right all along? I don’t mean to hop on a trend. I don’t need to see Adam Duritz stirring up a glaze in a bowl and talking about it. The ravages of time. You’re looking at something that does not exist anymore. It’s not there. It’s gone. A conscious social break slash detox. Everything that’s old has become new again. The human experience is a quite diverse quilt of sparkling madness and
I know it’s just late stage capitalism hunger games lord of the flies squid game out there. It is all good. Acquiesce. The rebirth of humanity. No thing at all can avoid the changes coming. Rule 1: Don’t Panic. Rule 2: Don’t Take Anything Personally. To put on my pants and pull it together, schedule my eating so I’m not crabby, and really go out there…you gotta give me a reason to be out there, man. Funny.
2025: Still Alive! Totally failed in getting an Audiode out in December. This thing is going to be embarrassingly and impossibly out of date. Happiness vs. Fulfillment. Get through it because it will and does get better and can get better. December is a real humdinger of a month. How about gratitude for what you have? Elections have consequences and the people have chosen. I have been wrong before.
Post-Election Special!
The Way It Is Now: In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the City closed certain public streets to private motor vehicles, reserving the streets as public open space for recreational purposes. These closures included the Great Highway between Lincoln Way and Sloat Boulevard (Upper Great Highway), adjacent to Ocean Beach. In May 2022, the City replaced the pandemic restrictions on the Upper Great Highway with a pilot program closing the Upper Great Highway to private motor vehicles on Friday afternoons, weekends and holidays. The closure does not apply to emergency vehicles, official government
The kids call 'em discs. I can't have the whining. It's not acceptable behavior. It's so hard being a person on this planet. Try to eat the couch and then get upset about that. The cost of vinyl. The human supremacist toll of touring with burning fossil fuels a quarter of the way into the 21st century. The Pacific Gas and Electric bills which keep going up inexplicably. There are some positives to being in America. I voted for Ronald Reagan in the school election in first grade and we won by a landslide. Collaboration. Long Pause. Off The Charts. Bandcamp. Decoding. https://longpause.bandcamp.
The more signs you have, the more ugly it is. Yes We Kam? Production collaboration? Unknown unknowns. Recording Tour? Diddies for Dads! Lunchtime. 100 Audiodes? Steve Miller Band + Journey + Def Leppard concert review. Millions and millions of listeners. Overinflated Capitalist Cathedral. Human Supremacist. Love bites.
What a month in American politics! Whew. Here's how it all unfolded.

Some personal news.
“When I pay the money I pay these days to go to a movie I hope it’s got a lounger. Give back to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's. Ask, Seek, Knock. We are a nation of immigrants, but we are also a nation of laws.” Theologian guest Pierre Bourgeois talks Jesus and the gospels and provides context for my mom’s favorite bible verse.
