The heat is here, Folks!
Again, another summer of fire panic is starting.
People wonder why people leave Cali and I believe the reason is primarily fire panic. ‘They’ are saying it’s going to be worse this year than last. I don’t know what is real and what isn’t in terms of speculation but I don’t know how it could be worse short of all of the state burning. That said, I seem to be dug in.
When I considered leaving it had nothing to do with fire, really. It has more to do with roaming hordes of lawless, desperate packs of ragtag people searching for food and shelter and unafraid of torturing and killing anyone who stands in their way even if it’s their own homes.
You know, societal breakdown.
I’m still not convinced that won’t happen. I am still pretty convinced that I will miss my opportunity to get out in time. So, all this to say that I will ride out this fire season with hope and fear and maybe the air won’t become unbreathable again. Here’s to hoping.
I’m sure that I am not the first to think about this angle on UFOs. Since they’ve been in the news a bit because the military is sitting on some images of a few. I don’t think the important question is whether aliens exist or not but why they never stop and hang out. The don’t stop to hurt us. They don’t stop to help us. They don’t stop to refuel or nap. They seem to just hover and split. Like, ‘nope, no need to stop here.’ I think that’s on us. Would you stop at this planet if you could go anywhere else in the universe? Nope.
Today I have a surprising conversation with the actor Anthony Carrigan. He plays NoHo Hank on Barry and he is NOTHING LIKE THAT GUY. I don’t know why that’s surprising but some characters are so good you believe them deeply. On Thursday I talk to David Hidalgo from the band Los Lobos. They are one of the greatest bands ever and make most other bands look like novelty act. It was an honor to chat with him for a bit.
Enjoy!
Boomer, Monkey and LaFonda live!
