There is so much about being on this Earth right now that I am so done with, gang. But since Sandra is counting on me hugely, and since 13 cats — 2 of whom are terminally ill and 12 of whom are now infested with fleas (!!)– are counting on me hugely…

I continue to find it in myself to continue on.

If you tried listening to Phil last night, you were likely assaulted for several hours with nothing but comms.

I used to think comms were cool but now I just find them frustrating. Like most everyone right now, I want to understand in plain language what is really going on. But no such luck.

And speaking of comms — at Trump’s rally in Florida last night, he was not wearing a tie. This used to signify “mission accomplished” but maybe he was just really hot last night? I don’t know. But here’s the rally in case you missed it. (I only saw the end, while waiting for Phil to come on, but it was really good.)

LIVE: President Trump in Doral, FL (1 hr 20 mins):

While waiting for Phil last night, I was also watching this– if you come from a really, really long line of patriots, you will love this roundtable.

Patriot Streetfighter — 7.08.24 “The Tipping Point” on Revolution. Radio, with Michael Jaco, Scott B, & ALPHA (2 hrs 20 mins):

From Mark Steele UK:

“Slovakia’s staunch anti-NWO PM Robert Fico has officially resumed work after surviving a May 15th assassination attempt.”

From Absolute 1776:

“BREAKING: The Georgia Election Board has voted 3-1 to adopt rule to require ballots be hand counted at the precinct level by poll officers each day of voting to ensure the totals match with the machines

This is a GAME CHANGER for election integrity

“The poll manager and the two witnesses shall sign a label affixed to the container indicating that it contains all of the correct ballots from the indicated ballot box and no additional ballots.” – The new rule says

This rule used to exist until corrupt Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger ordered poll managers to stop doing it. I now think Georgia is going full blown red because of this and other good changes that have been put in place”

Keyboard Operator is back from vacation, but now he’s sick, so this is a short but interesting one.

Also, while waiting for Phil last night, I watched a 1965 episode of “I Dream of Jeannie” and then a 1958 episode of “Leave it to Beaver,” both of which were actually much better written /acted than most of the TV shows I endure today…

Okay!

Here’s this, because I love it and there’s not very much that I love right now (and if you, personally, played any part in either sex, drugs, and/or rock & roll for me in the last 64 years… thank you very, very much!!!):

There’s also this — I want to live here!!!! Possibly even alone!!!!!!! (Btw, this is AI):

There’s also this, from last year in Sydney, I think:

And there’s also this — and he’s smoking, so what does this mean? Yes, it means that Keith Richards gets to live even longer, but it also means it’s really Johnny Depp:

And that’s it for now, gang.

A big bunch of rain blew in here unexpectedly this morning, so it seems like it got rid of that god awful humidity. We might actually have a lovely day ahead of us. We shall see!

Enjoy your Wednesday, wherever you are in the world.

Thanks for visiting.

I love you guys. See ya!

I was also listening to this last night, while waiting for Phil to go live (which he never did, btw) and getting sadder than I already was, missing absolutely everyone from the old days on E.12th Street —

Cyndi Lauper “Time After Time” 1983:

Bruce Springsteen “I’m On Fire” 1984 :

“Time After Time”

Lying in my bed, I hear the clock tick and think of you
Caught up in circles, confusion is nothing new
Flashback, warm nights almost left behind
Suitcase of memories, time after…

Sometimes you picture me, I’m walking too far ahead
You’re calling to me, I can’t hear what you’ve said
Then you say, “Go slow”, I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

If you’re lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I’ll be waiting
Time after time

If you’re lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I’ll be waiting (I will be waiting)
Time after time

After my picture fades and darkness has turned to gray
Watching through windows, you’re wondering if I’m OK
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time

If you’re lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I’ll be waiting
Time after time

You said, “Go slow”, I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

If you’re lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I’ll be waiting
Time after time

If you’re lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I’ll be waiting (I will be waiting)
Time after time

Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time

c- 1983 – Cyndi Lauper, Rob Hyman

“I’m On Fire”

Hey, little girl, is your daddy home?
Did he go away and leave you all alone?
I got a bad desire

Oh, oh, oh
I’m on fire

Tell me now, baby, is he good to you?
And can he do to you the things that I do?
Oh no, I can take you higher

Oh, oh, oh
I’m on fire

Sometimes it’s like someone took a knife, baby, edgy and dull
And cut a six-inch valley through the middle of my skull
At night, I wake up with the sheets soakin’ wet
And a freight train runnin’ through the middle of my head
Only you can cool my desire

Oh, oh, oh
I’m on fire
Oh, oh, oh
I’m on fire
Oh, oh, oh
I’m on fire

Ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

c – 1982 – Bruce Springsteen
