Of all the different genres of art I like pop art the best. That’s why I loved the Mr. Brainwash Art Museum. I don’t think I grinned so much in a museum. Sadly, it is now closed.

It is clear to me that if we truly love our country, we have to jettison Trump and his Nazi wannabes. Not only does our government depend on it but our lives also.

One interesting, and cool, thing I noticed about airplane museums is that they almost always have antique cars and vehicles on display. For instance, the Planes of Fame Museum has a Rolls Royce Silver Cloud tucked in among the planes.

On my second visit to the Highway 62 Galleries, I visited with Kat Johnson. She does Assemblage art creating wall hanging that I find very evocative.

Last night I went to Pappy and Harriet's to see Aaron Lee Tasjan with Dixie opening up. It was a great concert full of music and stories.

When I went to the No Kings protest back in October I naively thought things might get better. Now it is February and we are nearing war with NATO over Greenland, we have secret police running roughshod over an American city, cont.

Going back to the Grammy Museum today. I must admit I wasn't as wowed by the museum, that may be it was the last stop on the trip and I was tired. They do have interesting displays and I would go back if they had a special display that piqued my interest.

On my way back from the End of the World sign there is another public art piece. Not sure what it is but it looks like a couple of stained glass gazebos with photos of nearby events and other galleries. Luckily, I got there when the sun was hitting the glass just right.

Back in November I saw Sigur Ros at the Mighty Orpheum Theater in Los Angeles. Before the show I took some pics of the theater. Also, today I have a couple of pics of a brief walk near Hollywood Boulevard.

One of my favorite art places in The Yucca Valley area to view art is the Highway Sanctuary in Flamingo Heights. Every time I go there I find something new and interesting.

On January 4 I got out of my sick bed and went on a bit of a road trip to Wonder Valley. I have always wanted to go to a public art installation of a giant sign that marks The End of the World. It was a fun drive and swung by Amboy on the way back.

Saying goodbye to Omega Mart, it changed me somehow. Can’t wait for the Meow Wolf installation going up in LA.

It should be obvious to anyone with a lick of sense that we have a deadly fascist regime in the executive branch. It is imperative to every citizen that we fight these fascists before we lose our country.

At the Mr. Brainwash Art Museum I wash some art at the laundromat while listening to a giant Snoopy radio.

My favorite old time Hollywood stars are the Marx Brothers. They have formed my sense of humor and view of the world ever since I was little. When I heard the Hollywood Museum had display dedicated to them, I had to go. They had Harpo’s actual horn!
