took jonah to the local tier-1. got greeted by name by security and reception - he wanted a sleep-over, i just wanted controled meds
after a mild bit of autie-oddity in the spa -- head under water and both hand splashing about the ears -- a women i took to be simple came over to speak with me after exiting the spa. she asked for jonah's name, then said she'd pray for him. she went on and said she'd pray for me as my job is hard.

jonah's been saying "october 3rd, 1991", or just "october 3rd", many times a day, for over a week. it could be the date a disney ride started or ended, or something disney, or just a film release date.

mysteries never end.

Dear Senators @wyden.senate.gov and @merkley.senate.gov, please coordinate with Oregon members of the House to draft articles of impeachment against Secretary Hegseth for threatening your colleague, @captmarkkelly.bsky.social, for his constitutionally-protected speech. Thank you.

letter sent to or senators re: sec. def.'s attack on the (constitutional) speech and debate clause, and on the ability of the houses of the legislature to govern themselves. the appropriate response is articles of impeachment in the house, followed by a trial and possibly a conviction in the senate.

i'd like to know what vaccine provided jfk jr with immunity to evidence? is this something we can get as a spray-on? like pepper spray, only with less sentencing?
Kennedy is immune to evidence and feels he’s on a divine mission to free the world from vaccines and medicines.

These doctors are bonded by Covid bitterness and want to help him tear it all down.

i read the sanders-schneier piece on how wonderful a.i. is and now i'll never read anything by schneier again.

its in today's gruniad. nathan (not bernie) sanders and bruce (not a shark) schneier, "four ways ai is being used to strengthen democracies worldwide".

today at the beach, or rather, at the suislaw north jetty scuba divers' entry and picnic tables.

i chatted with two or three sets of divers just after the top of the tide. they'd been out at the hole upriver a few hundred yards for the crabs. one had eight.

then st. vinnies and home.

Apparently this used to actually happen, according to the book "The Lore and Language of Schoolchildren", which Tomer Ullman recommended to me.

droll coincidence:

also

pre-lbj, the immigration act of 1924 was law, "whites only" is a close approximation

i see the saudi & boer immigration packages as "a return to before jfk/lbj"

i passed the laptop with today's wikipedia page opened to jonah. he watched it yesterday, and without hesitation stated "nov 22nd 1995, toy story was released ..." lots of words. not the "presents as non-verbal" which is his ordinary.

raking up oak leaves between storms is absurd, however, it provides me an excuse to hang out with the dog and jonah, who is filming either the dog or the resident peacocks (aka turkeys). we'd a full jury today, a dozen toms.
