Yeah, I hate to sound like a 15 year old but I do miss my friends. Mostly composed of people I otherwise already knew who had gravitated to the bay, I don't know anyone who ended up in Sacramento currently.

Like that Olympic torch he carried, Muhammad Ali burned brightly. He shed light on those he helped and heat on those he fought. What a great, great soul. RIP.

Um, at least some of SJ's ugliness was not perpetrated by Trump supporters. There was one case where some thugs punched and spat on a 17 yr-old who had left the rally.

My point being that there are some bad actors who Are Not Helping, and playing into the SturmTrumpers' hands. And I don't think they even care - they just want to get some licks in.

I haz a little worry here...

OT: It's 106 degrees here today. The air quality is shitty. I'm hot and cranky. Speaking of cranky, I see that Bernie has promised a contested convention.

Eugene Jarecki is proposing Ali get a state funeral. I agree.

Every time I read or hear the name George Harrison, I think of the over-tan actor, looking into the camera (I forget the name of the movie, but in it he's a gigolo), and saying, "It's...what I do".

Just finished moving to Sacramento. It's both significantly hotter and significantly cheaper than the bay.

Latest forecast it's supposed to cool off a little starting today. Bummer you had to move during the heat wave. Also bummer you had to leave The Bay. We moved here (Oakland) just a few years ago and love it.But holy shit, it's expensive!

I think I'm OK with that. It'd be nice if Hillz had to run on more than just the "don't vote for the raving lunatic" platform, and get some health, wage, and education planks in there. I know she's said some stuff, but let's get some planks with some heft!

I have a nephew Henry, named after my sister-in-law's maternal grandfather.
