If masked group of hooligans approached your vehicle after you had just dropped off one of your kids at school and demanded that you get out, what would you do? Certainly not exit your vehicle! Yet, for that refusal, you die? Who are the terrorists here?

It may be 39 degrees, but it is a beautiful 39 degrees.

MJT on CNN: "There's a new Democrat that's been elected that does deserve to be sworn in..." Crazy times it is when I keep going "I agree with MJT."

Russia Responds as Pro-Putin Party Defeated in Moldova Election "Moldovans should probably resolve this among themselves,โ€ Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

Go, Moldova! The EU will welcome you with open arms. Let's hope Putin and his gang of thugs don't bomb them back to the Stone Age for daring to turn their back on the Russian Empire (maybe using Transnistria as an excuse).

Thank God for Jimmy Kimmel! What a comeback! Makes me almost want to watch network TV. Wait...couldn't watch him in Seattle because KOMO, the local ABC affiliate, is part of Sinclair, and Sinclair decided to censor Kimmel. Pretty easy for me to boycott KOMO since I never watch them anyway.

"This is Calvinball jurisprudence with a twist. Calvinball has only one rule: There are no fixed rules. We seem to have two: that one, and this Administration always wins,โ€ Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote.

Checks and balances are regrettably a thing of the past.

A 110-year-old California confectionery is likely on its last owner "Basically, this is my second home."

Opened for 110 years Kogetsu-Do is one of the last Japanese confectionaries in the West. I always stop by when in Fresno or close by (or not so close). Even when there are years between visits, Lynn still greets me by name when I enter the store. Such a special place.

I've had a picture of the Hubble Deep Field over my desk for years. Other than the sheer wonder of it, it is also a constant reminder of just how miniscule even my biggest problems are.

Happy to advise. Text is fine. You can also message in Bluesky. I'll send a note to you if you want to go that route.

The upside: you hadn't retired yet. It would suck to retire, then later discover that you have to go back to work.

A year ago we were enjoying Sakura in Tokyo. This year UW will have to suffice.

Trumpโ€™s U.S.A.I.D. Cuts Hobble Earthquake Response in Myanmar While China, Russia and other nations have rushed emergency response teams to the devastated country, the U.S., once a leader in foreign aid, has been slow to act.

This is shameful. And it makes me so, so sad.

Of anyone in Congress, she's one who has taken on very difficult problems. Like sexual assault in the military, ultimately changing the law (in an establishment that didn't want anything to change). I think there's such an assault on our system, even she is stymied.

I have a Maasai name! At our latest camp, I guess the mere fact that I could produce even a little Maasai opened eyes, so much so, that I was given the name Oloshipa. I'm told it means "Happy One". I hope it doesn't mean Fuck Face or Man with Booger on His Face. All the Maasai here are using it now.

Me thinks yes, but I am teaching spring quarter. And I have a grant. And some other projects. But if retirement means doing what you want when you want (mostly), then most definitely YES!
