Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.

On The Road – SoupCatcher – Santa Teresa Hills

SoupCatcher

These pictures were taken on the day after the election, 4 November 2020, using my older cel phone. As a bit of background, we live in South San Jose, up against the Santa Teresa Hills, which divide the Santa Clara Valley from the Almaden Valley. I’m originally from the hills of Northeast Los Angeles, and spent much of my childhood hiking around BillinGlendaleCA’s stomping grounds. Gaining elevation soothes me; my first instinct is generally to go up. As the vote counting stretched on, I felt the need to get out.

On The Road - SoupCatcher - Santa Teresa Hills 7

The Bernal Ranch entrance to Santa Teresa County Park is less than a fifteen minute walk from our house, and one of my favorite trails in the park goes to the top of the ridge, and then works up the ridge for a bit. We are looking down on the first part of the trail in this picture.

Yes, they know it was bad for the country — and in the long run, for them — but Donald Trump’s Insane Malevolent Clown Party tour was so fun!

UncleEbeneezer

In non-Covid times, we try to go somewhere for Fall Color every year.  Living in Los Angeles, the easiest option is usually a trip to the Eastern Sierra where you get to see a ton of aspens (and some other trees/colors too, but mostly gold).  After going a little too late and a little too early in the previous couple years, we finally got the timing right in 2017 and got to se near-peak or peak color at multiple locations.  Here are some pics.  Enjoy!

McGee Creek, Inyo County CAOctober 15, 2017

Our first stop was at McGee Creek, which was gorgeous.  We didn’t really have time to hike, since we still needed to get to Mammoth (where we were staying) and we were already pretty tired from the long drive.
