Update about blogCa

I-40 picked up the old Rte. 66 somewhere along the way, maybe Little Rock, maybe Oklahoma City. But it is the 100th anniversary of Rte 66 so I enjoyed thinking about my parents driving on part Of it in. St. Louis at least. Here we continued from Santa Rosita to Gallup NM, then left both highways to go north to CO.

Honors

  Here are shots from a brief story that was on CBS Sunday Morning on TV. With the Kennedy Center having been taken over by Trump, I wonder if these honors will continue.

Kennedy Center honors Bruce Springsteen, standing to left of  Michelle Obama in the purple dress, with President Obama on her other side.




Sting sang a Springsteen song, written after 9/11, from his album "The Rising," which I hadn't heard before.

Bruce Springsteen, "The Boss."

I hope to find the whole program sometime on TV.

Today's quote:

“I think survival is at stake for all of us all the time. … Every poem, every work of art, everything that is well done, well made, well said, generously given, adds to our chances of survival.” Phillip Booth, poet.

Personal life:

Yesterday a friend and I walked along the Flat Creek trail (where we walked maybe a year ago.) I wanted to see the trees, hoping they were undamaged by the flood of the creek in September. Well, some were, and some weren't so I'll share my photos soon. We then went to Aldy's and I indulged in some yummy fresh produce, but focused also on getting some non-perishables to put in my stash of things that don't need cooking, in case of another disaster.

More on having that food pantry prepared soon.

Also later today I've posted from a local newspaper (on line only) about immigrants rights and how they are legally processed (or not.)

    I imagine the Kennedy Center is about to become one effed-up place.

    Another thing for the orange man to destroy.

    That center is amazing. Apparently artists are canceling bookings at a great rate. I don't think it's legal for him to appoint himself, either. Let's have hope...

Thanks for commenting! I tried moderating, thinking that would be a quicker way to check on comments, but actually it takes more time. So go ahead and talk amongst yourselves, and I'll check in when I can!!
