Happy birthday to President Trump!!! He is 78 years young today!!
And 49 years ago today, I saw The Rolling Stones in Cleveland for the first time! What an experience. And tomorrow, the Stones play Cleveland again! (I’m not attending, it’s too expensive for me. I just think the timing is really cool.)
The four Colorado Supreme Court Justices who tried keeping President Trump’s name off the state’s primary ballot earlier this year were sequentially executed for treason at GITMO on June 10—better late than never […]
Not much “news” really. One thing that stands out to me, though — everyone is trying to be up in arms about Russian nuclear subs, etc., being off the coast of Florida…
Some are mentioning how close Florida is to Cuba and here comes another Cold War (fear porn, don’t fall for it)–
“🇷🇺🇨🇺🇺🇲 The Russian Ministry of Defense published a video of the arrival of the missile submarine cruiser Kazan and the frigate Admiral Gorshkov at the Cuban port of Havana.”
And Keyboard Operator brings up the connection between Cuba and Gitmo, which I find much more interesting. (Remember, gang — the “true” USA and Russia are Allies.)
6/12/2024 Updates on world events (18 mins):

The guys over at Jeff.pro have another big announcement. They’re getting ready to launch their own search engine. (And btw — their free LibreOffice, software that replaces Microsoft Word, is really great. I still use both, but LibreOffice is really, really good.)
Anyway– they are holding a launch event for the new search engine:
“We are pleased to announce that after nearly three years of work, we built a new, proprietary, branded online Search Engine in exactly the way Jeff.pro subscribers told us they would like, and it’s really, really good. 🙂 In fact, it’s good enough to actually make your life better in ways you will immediately notice every day, once you start using it!”
Event Details:
Date: Thursday, June 13th, 2024
Time: 8:00 PM Eastern Time
Venue: Online, accessible from the comfort of your own home!
I can’t wait until we have that new Internet. In the last 2 months, Spectrum has gone up $50, and I almost always have only one bar, sometimes two, and it is really slow. I’ve looked into other services around here and, aside from satellite service, which I don’t like, there is nothing cheaper out here. And all I have is Internet. I don’t even have cable tv, but the price now is just ludicrous.

More breakfast-listening music from Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers’ great album, MOJO, from 2010. “Running Man’s Bible.”
I’ve posted this one here before. I really think Tom wrote this song as a sort of “love song” for himself & the Heartbreakers. I just love it. Enjoy!!
“Running Man’s Bible”
You’re with me tonight on this dark highway We’ve run it together So many times We’ve run it for money We’ve run it for music We’ve run it to pay for our innocent crimes
I took on my father and I’m still walkin’ Took on all comers in some shape or form And I see with the eyes of somethin’ wounded Somethin’ still standing after the storm
Here’s one to glory and survival And stayin’ alive It’s the running man’s Bible I been next in line
I been next to nothin’ Been next to bystanders Who shoulda said somethin’ It was not in my vision It was not in my mind To return from a mission A man left behind
Here’s one to glory And survival And stayin’ alive It’s the runnin’ man’s Bible I don’t speak of the times I’ve nearly died
I don’t speak of out lastin’ those who are gone Or the things I’ve done I care not to remember Or the desperate measures That might have been wrong
Honey here’s one to glory Here’s to bad weather And all the hard things We’ve been through together
Here’s to the golden rule and survival And to stayin’ alive It’s the runnin’ man’s Bible Here’s one to glory and survival And stayin’ alive It’s the runnin’ man’s Bible
But as I’m sure you’ve heard, “Hunter Biden” was found guilty yesterday and will likely be sentenced to prison.
One good thing about this, though, is that, since he’s allegedly already dead, it won’t cost the State of Delaware very much to feed him for the next 25 years…

My morning-listening music!!! (With many, many cats scampering everywhere!!)
From Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers ‘ album, MOJO, 2010, “Let yourself Go”. I love this effing song! Well, I love the whole album, actually. Okay. Enjoy, gang.
“Let Yourself Go”
Rain on the river, I’m soaking wet Waiting on a friend who ain’t come yet And he might not get here for three or four days Got to make a little bit go a long way
I’ve got a blond-headed woman who likes to come around Cute little hippy girl lives in town Brings a bag of records and she plays ’em ’til dawn Give me little loving then she got to go home
When times are hard When you start feeling low Let yourself go When the river’s rising And the world feels cold Let yourself go Let yourself go
I got a 442 sitting in the sun Well it’d been ten years since she used to run Man, she was a beauty in ’69 But there ain’t no more coming down the line
When times are hard And you start feeling low Let yourself go When the river’s rising And your world feels cold Let yourself go Honey, let yourself go Let yourself go
Well, allegedly, the Vice President of Malawi, Dr. Saulos Chilima, and his wife and 8 others were killed in a plane crash.
I say “allegedly” because he recently voted against the W.H.O. treaty, and I believe that is a psy-op, so the “plane crash” could be optics to wake people up to the WHO, but obviously I don’t know for certain, gang.

And in other news —
Nick Cave sent out a Red Hand File yesterday that was delightfully revealing!
“…the winter after Arthur died, I was walking along an empty beach in Brighton and had the sudden impulse to jump into the sea. I was shocked to find that, upon entering the freezing water, I experienced a sudden, violent, radical rearrangement of my relationship with almost everything. I discovered that it was simply impossible to grieve in icy water. This revelation began my love affair with cold-water swimming.”

And in personal news–
I have decided to step away from the TV pilot/series that I was developing with Peitor, my partner in Abstract Absurdity Productions.
While the project is going very well, and it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if it gets picked up by a streamer, I just don’t want to write for TV. There are very few TV shows being made these days that I even like — “Sister Boniface Mysteries” is a prominent exception — and, if it does get picked up, I don’t want to give up all the time it would take to write a TV show that’s set for 3 seasons, possibly 4. I’ll be closing in on 70 years old by then.
10-15 years ago, a lot of the streaming TV shows appealed to me, but times have seriously changed. And I have too many projects of my own that I want to complete before my time on Earth is over (I’ll be 64 in a handful of weeks, and I have no less than 3 novels, 3 memoirs, 3 novellas, a new short story collection, and a short film adaptation of my Helen LaFrance play– all in various stages of “not finished yet”).
But Peitor and I are in a good place about my decision, and he is moving forward with the show on his own. And now I feel like a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders, gang.
*************
And I believe that is it for today.
Have a terrific Tuesday, wherever you are in the world.

I leave you with this timely gem from yesteryear!! I love this song, gang, and have loved it since I was a wee bonny lass! “”Everyday People” by Sly & the Family Stone, 1969. Enjoy, gang!!
“Everyday People”
Sometimes I’m right and I can be wrong My own beliefs are in my song The butcher, the banker, the drummer and then Makes no difference what group I’m in I am everyday people, yeah, yeah
There is a blue one Who can’t accept the green one For living with a fat one Trying to be a skinny one Different strokes For different folks
And so on and so on And scooby dooby dooby Oh sha sha We got to live together
I am no better and neither are you We are the same, whatever we do You love me, you hate me, you know me and then You can’t figure out the bag I’m in I am everyday people, yeah yeah
There is a long hair That doesn’t like the short hair For being such a rich one That will not help the poor one Different strokes For different folks
And so on and so on And scooby dooby dooby Oh sha sha We got to live together
There is a yellow one That won’t accept the black one That won’t accept the red one That won’t accept the white one Different strokes For different folks
And so on and so on And scooby dooby dooby Oh sha sha I am everyday people
“🇲🇽 Jorge Alcocer, Mexico’s health minister, rejects the W.H.O.’s monstrous lie about a man’s death caused by bird flu
“I can say that the World Health Organization’s statement is quite bad, because it talks about a fatal case (of bird flu), which was NOT the case.”
Alcocer asked people to remain calm and take the WHO statement with caution, because it “IS NOT ACCURATE”
W.H.O. Caught Lying About Bird Flu They claimed that the man’s death was caused by a strain of bird flu that had never before been found in a human. The man had ‘died from other causes, mainly kidney and respiratory failure.'”

“Fourth Charlatan Juror Arrested by JAG on Long Island
U.S. Navy JAG investigators have arrested a fourth juror who dishonestly found President Trump guilty of doctoring business records to obfuscate payments allegedly made to a skanky porn star so his unproven tryst with her wouldn’t damage his 2016 presidential run.
As reported last week, U.S Marines and Special forces snatched up three of twelve charlatan jurors as part of a broader mission to crush both the Manhattan District Attorney’s office and jurors it bribed or otherwise influenced to incriminate an innocent man. […]”

Paul Simon & George Harrison in a really lovely live version of “Here Comes the Sun'” from Saturday Night Live of long ago (1976)… This song and I have a long beautiful history together, and these two guys do an incredible version of the song. Okay, gang. Enjoy!!!
As you can see above, the new ceiling in my kitchen is going to be really spectacular!! I had no idea it was going to be so elaborate…
Anyway!
Seriously. I did not know they were giving me an entirely new ceiling in my kitchen and bathroom. I thought they were only repairing the parts that were damaged by water leaks. So I am just thrilled.
The guys are downstairs right now, putting in the new ceilings, and it should take all day.
And the lawncare guy is outside right now, keeping my yard looking incredible again.
And the new roof is finished and they did a fantastic job. It looks really great.
Last night, I checked the weather app before I went up to bed and it said a 20% chance of rain at 2 AM — my knee-jerk reaction was to go fetch the buckets. But THEN!!! I realized that I didn’t have to do that anymore. What a cool feeling, gang.
I feel like I’ve gotten my house back — the one I bought in 2018.
Okay.

In personal news–
I have come to a huge and difficult decision about some career stuff. I will likely post about it here tomorrow.
Other than that, things are really, really good here, gang.
Have a wonderful Sunday, wherever you are in the world.
The past couple days have been full of such extremes.
I went to the bank yesterday, which is at the other end of 3rd Street and saw all the disaster from the tornado that hit at that end of the street.
It is just so heartbreaking, gang. It is so hard to process it, how one house can be completely fine and another house, completely gone. And almost all the old trees that lined 3rd Street are also completely gone.
And there are so many houses that had their roofs blown completely off, and yet here I was, getting a brand-new roof yesterday, for free, that had nothing to do with the tornado.
The timing of it feels so weird, even though I’ve needed a new roof for 3 years already.
And then, last evening, the guy called who is replacing the ceilings in my kitchen and bathroom, and he said that he’s coming TODAY to do that, not Monday. So that is more amazing news.
But then, at 6 AM this morning, I went outside to water the plants because I couldn’t get to them yesterday with the roofers everywhere. One of my brand-new little rose bushes had its first bloom getting ready to blossom, so I wanted to check on that — and that rose bush is completely GONE. There is just a hole in the ground where it used to be yesterday.
It broke my heart and I wanted to cry — but then I thought about all the destruction 2 streets away and I had to remind myself that it was just a little rose bush…
Then when I texted the roofer asking if he knew what had happened to it, he said they are replacing it for me because it got crushed.
Well, I guess everything is all about perspective today, isn’t it?
******************
There is not really any “news” today, except that things are getting ominous out there so just keep alert and stay safe.
And Roger Stone is allegedly on the wrong side on J6. From George news, there is a Danish documentary out about Stone — A Storm Foretold:
“I want the impeachment”, “He has to go!”, “Run again! —you’ll get your fu*king brains BEAT IN!”, “He needs to be denounced”, “The GREATEST single mistake in American history!” – Stone’s forked tongue hisses🐍

“I am in DC now. There is fencing around a good amount of area at the WH. During my live I was told that there are some large events taking place here this weekend and the fencing is for precautionary measures”
As always, incredibly interesting. Things are very intense, gang.

Today would have been Paul Martin’s 65th birthday. He was my best friend on planet Earth. He’s been gone for 25 years now. Here is one of my favorite photos of him! He was visiting me from DC, when he was the Artistic Director of the Woolly Mammoth Theater Company. And he brought me a Polaroid camera as a gift!!
Here he is in my lead, clawfoot bathtub in the hellhole tenement I lived in on E.12th Street for 10 years…. (and yes, I had REALLY long hair back then and had to wash it in a bathtub!)

James Tabor posted this video to his private Patreon group yesterday. Very timely.
Yesterday was so intense. When I finally got to see the damage done by the tornado touching down over on 3rd Street, my heart broke. The damage is unbelievable. I was basically in shock all morning.
Then right as I was leaving for the train station, I got a phone call — from the roofer!! Saying that TODAY, I was getting my new roof!
And sure enough. they are here right now. There are quite a lot of them and they are all over the place. And I almost cannot believe that after 3 years of putting out more and more buckets every time it rained, I am finally getting that new roof, at absolutely no cost to me. The county pays for it all. (NESARA, anyone? The local government is allegedly strapped for funds… hmmmm).
And then early next week, they are replacing the ceilings in my kitchen and downstairs bathroom, and installing a new ceiling fan!!
All things considered, I guess this is going to be the best summer.
Yesterday was supposed to be the start of the annual homecoming celebration here in the village. That’s when they close off the block in front of our tiny City Hall and set up carnival rides and games. And there’s one evening of live music, and that whole celebration goes on for a few evenings. But after the tornado hit yesterday, they decided to cancel it, even though all the rides were already set up.
Well, last night, when I came home from the train station, about 10 PM, lo & behold, all the rides where whirling around, all the carnival lights were on, the music was playing — and the rides were full of kids!!
It broke my heart in the best way to come home to that. I was so glad they decided to start the celebrations anyway. I think those kids (and maybe their parents, too) really needed that.

*************
And that’s it for today.
In personal news, I have decided to publish just one print book and one eBook for “A Man In Her Arms & Other Stories”. (See my post here if you missed this.)
It will include the first publication of the short novella, “A Man In Her Arms” and 9 other previously published stories, but, except for “Legacy of Boy,” the other stories have either not been published in print before, or in any “best of” collections:
A Man In Her Arms
Legacy of Boy
To My Beloved I Am A Stranger
Code
Score
Alter Soldier
A Path to The Woods (a ghost story)
Wanted
Common Place
Half-Moon Bride
The novella, “A Man in Her Arms,” is heavily based on the life of my biological paternal grandmother:
Cora Smith May in Kentucky in the early 1930s
I’m really excited about the collection. I’m waiting on Val in Brooklyn to design the cover art for me. I’ll keep you posted!!

I leave you with a song I love. an early version of “Trailer” by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers. This one is a B-side from 1984. He re-recorded it with Mudcrutch in 2016, and it was really great. But there is something I love about this early Tom Petty voice. Okay. Enjoy!
On my street, the power is back on. I’m still going to take a break until tomorrow. I need to go to the train station today and I hardly slept at all last night.
The damage 2 streets away is terrible. Businesses and homes were hit hard and people are in the hospital.
I am counting my blessings here today, gang.

Our gas station. If you don’t know what it normally looks like, you can’t see how much damage was done here but it was a lot.
A tornado hit our little village and a lot of damage was done in the main area of our town. My street was not hit but all our power is out. They don’t know for how long, so I will be staying offline for awhile. It is very scary.
