Vancouver Canadians: Meet shortstop Arjun Nimmala. He's South-Asian proud, and he's belting homers “When I heard that they were doing a South Asian Night here, I thought, ‘That’s sick,’” smiled Nimmala.

In all my life, I've managed to somehow miss experiencing all but one of the earthquakes I've been through. Did NOT feel any shaking at all through this one, now being classed a 5.1. Hope everyone is OK.

January 20, 2025, there wasn’t so much of a blazing sunrise, but there was this luminous moment, lovely unto itself, separate from everything else going on.

RIP David Lynch

His movie The Straight Story was among my favorites.

Lynch supported Ukraine - the next day after invasion, he said:

“...Mr. Putin, you are sowing death, & it’s all on u. The Ukrainians didn’t attack your country... all this death&destruction is going to come back & visit u”

America has so thoroughly colonized us with “Black Friday Deals!” we deny our own history. Boxing Day used to be the day people used to line up at A&B sound for blow out sales, but they took that away from us too.
