I renounce and denounce this violent, racist, cowardly, and gluttonous part of the United States of America with every fiber in my body and soul.

I will resist this evil until my dying breath.

Someone like @theonion.com needs to set up a Lizz Truss-style lettuce (or pumpkin) and see if Trump can outlast it.

Really.

I wonder if independent nations like Red Lake and the Navajo can make paperless immigrants tribal members then give them tribal IDs?

A guy can dream.

Good thoughts from Anton. I've tried to strike a balance between showing (teaching) the trauma caused by colonization & resilience, joy, & diversity of modern Natives.

Biboonagad! Winter has arrived!

2F this morning and gorgeous. Not as much snow as east and south (!) of us, but good enough for touring skis and perfect for reading the overnight news on the pond.

Can you distinguish between coyote and domestic dog?

Can you ID a (Long-Tailed) Weasel?

About to head to Spain and reviewing my old journals as I begin to pick at the memoire. I was there when Bush I invaded Panama & I thought "Go 'merica! We're getting a bad guy!" The Spanish checked me quickly back then.

We're older now & are all on the same page on the horrors we're seeing.

Heading to Spain this week & reviewing journals from the 1st time there for the memoire. 36 years ago, the Berlin Wall had just fallen & the dominos of the Iron Curtain were beginning to tip. Incredible time of hope & light.

Romania was HOT. Ceausescu & wife would be shot dead on Christmas Day.

Starter pack for young men, looking for a decent partner:

1. Listen more, talk less
2. Be curious
3. Read fiction
4. Learn to cook 5 meals
5. Practice random acts/words of kindness

This will get you far. Good luck!

I always tell Europeans that the U.S. is the best at everything. We are the best at being awesome.

And we are the best at being nightmarishly awful.

Crimes "Commission" ain't gonna cut it. We're going to need an entire crimes *Department.*

On the bright side, we can bring unemployment down to zero by staffing it.

SEN. KELLY : “They informed me of this in a tweet because this is not about the law. This is about the media cycle, and intimidation… We basically repeated the uniform code of military justice, and they're saying that's in violation of it. It's absurd. Comical.”

Banged my head on one chapter for two days this week and *mostly* pushed through the way I want it.

Time for a day off of thinking and just brute physical stuff. Who needs a chord of wood split?

So, my workout videos this week were the 2012 Amazing Spiderman movies with Andrew Garfield which I'd never seen and Spiderman was my favorite superhero as a kid and minutes ago I finished the second movie in which his girlfriend, Gwen (Emma Stone), DIES and I'm going to need a moment.
