Being on lockdown is like watching a bad movie.
Sure, it sucks. But if you bail early, you might miss something.
Or catch something.
Why not just lean back, put your feet up, and enjoy (hating) the show? The credits will roll soon enough. And we know who’s not getting a best-director Oscar for this hot mess.
Pass the popcorn. Say, is it just me, or does this soda taste like bleach?
Yes, yes, yes, it’s another doctor-recommended, hospital-tested, clinically proven episode of Radio Free Dogpatch!

• Technical notes: Acoustic considerations (Herself doing paying work right next to my “studio”) dictated that I change locations (to her wallk-in closet) and return to the Shure Beta 87A mic and Zoom H5 Handy Recorder for this one, instead of recording directly to the MacBook Pro using Rogue Amoeba’s nifty little app Piezo. Editing was in GarageBand, with an assist from Miss Mia Sopaipilla, whose stylings on the keyboard while I stepped away from the desk for a moment rendered the original voiceover … interesting. The intro music is a compilation of GB loops, assembled by Your Humble Narrator. Howling courtesy The Colorado Sun, because I forgot to record our local howlers last night. Singing Italians via The Guardian. Angry crowd from the YouTube Audio Library, as is “An Army of None,” by The Whole Other. And Freesound.org contributed the hum (adamamazing), the comic rimshot (deleted_user_7146007), and the film projector (filip_stefanowski ),

“You’ve been drinking cleaning products all night … open for suggestion. It’s kinda about, uh … well, it’s kinda about goin’ down to the corner. Say, ‘Well, I’m just goin’ down to the corner to get a pack of cigarettes, I’ll be back in a minute.'”

Drinking Elsinore and eating jelly donuts all night on the back patio, heh. I can see the Milky Way from my back yard this morning. And, Mars looks really red. That hasn’t happened in years and years. I hope people remember that the clean air and skies will continue if we keep that oil in the ground. Let the MBS and Putin drink the shit. Either that or make carbon fiber guitars out of it!

Venus looked like the headlight on God’s Vincent Black Shadow the other night. I suppose it could be wishful thinking, but it sure seems that the skies are a lot clearer with all my fellow Burqueños driving less.

I think the skies are cleaner down here as well. And, my guitar buddy and I rode on the “Tucson Loop” path last Friday, and the air there also seemed clearer. Hardly any traffic on the roads or path. We mioght get one more ride up there before the heat sets in. That might be a good route for the Mad Dog Groupo to tackle this fall. The whole loop is 53 miles, with parks along the way with water and bathrooms. Food trucks and coffee kiosks are around it during the prime riding time in spring and fall. Here is the map.

I have given up despairing for the human race because we are totally fucked.
NZ moved out of level 4 lock down to level 3 which meant that take away drive thrus could be open. Drive thrus at McDonalds & similar were so packed that they caused major traffic jams.
Pictures of young, dumb, fucking idiots all clutching buckets of KFC & smiling in the media.
The Apocalypse can not come soon enough.
