Yeah, should put on a t-shirt and record that episode I've got scripted, but who can bother, it's 102º in the shade here in Sunny Spain, would you wear clothes?

It will be done, though, eventually. In the meantime, I'm pretty pleased with how this experiment came out:

Otherwise, all the touristy stuff is in the books. Just try to stay cool, it's going to be a scorcher this year!

Cheers!

and if you see a shop with a potato chip machine in the window making potato chips right before your eyes, do go in and by a bag, they are superior to any potato chips you've ever had in your life.

Stay inside during the day and try to do things once twilight sets in. Cold beer and patatas bravas (fried potato cubes with a ketchupy hot-sauce),

July is not as bad as August, but both are vacation months and you can expect (especially in August) a lot of businesses to be closed for vacation.

Madrid is always hot in the summer, but this summer we're talking about 100+º in the shade, and Madrid is not a very shady city. Just saying so that you are prepared.

Hey all!

Graphic video novel version of S05E05 "Sunglasses".... you might enjoy it, it's an experiment towards a much larger project for next year.

Cheers,

The Year of Letting Things Go On Time, Tending, and the Quiet Work of Watching Things Fade

“The garden is a kind of reckoning. Not with nature, not exactly. Not with beauty. But with time. With the slipping of it. With the need to make use of what’s left.”

Sorry no politics today,but I would love if you could take 5 minutes to read my newest article.
Thank you!!

My mom delegated the whole sex thing to an aunt (her younger sister) who taught me what "virgin" meant, and an uncle (her younger brother) who "showed, didn't tell" with some pornographic teaching aids.... I don't think I really wanted to ever talk about sex with her, actually, so no problem!

S05E14 The end of control by you're listening to radio revel This is a fresher essay, written in late March, 2025, dated by a quick reference to the so-called “Signalgate” event.Internet wisdom says I should make sure to get this online as soon as possible after an event I’m referencing, but I don’t think that’s necessarily true in my case. I’m not trying to get views because I’m talking about the latest squirrel climbing the tree in the garden.This essay is actually about accountability, how some people are held accountable for their actions while others get off Scott free. How a lot of legislation is prohibitive and a lot of people get caught and punished for breaching those prohibitions while the ones making the prohibitions can gleefully ignore them. And maybe just a little bit of “Question Authority” tossed in to date myself.Links that I promise are as follows:Scriptand narration byrevel arrowayyou’re listening to radio revel podcast:Music:Theme: NFLD by Mr SmithIncidental: Black top by Mr Smithhttps://freemusicarchive.org/TranscriptionOn YouTube: On Substack#Signalgate, #accountability, #prohibitions, #questionauthority

Now that there's a new guy on the block (Leo XIV), thought I'd bring this episode up again, made when the earlier one was ill. And reminding all of us:

Some more "social comment" on why bad actors are not having their feet held to the fire. And a bit on destruction of the regulatory state.... I guess!

Medical journals are the written record of investigations taken on by sometimes brilliant, sometimes misguided minds. In today’s episode we have the dramatization of the presentation of an article in a medical journal on a rare, strange phenomena that is still little understood yet present in our collective experience. What I tell I do not report, I simply tell.
