Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

We've reached a point where I am entirely convinced that the obsequious little shitasses that constitute the Republican senate would happily vote in the affirmative if Donald Trump were to nominate Godzilla to be his special envoy to Tokyo.

Okay. Now I have a book cover and a title: Windows to the Past. Now all I have to do is write the book.

Montezuma Castle National Monument never disappoints. The 900-year-old cliff dwelling was designated a national monument by President Teddy Roosevelt in 1906.

If you see a drone, don’t be scared. Just look up at it and in a firm voice say “Klaatu barada nikto.” You’ll be fine.

So, it turns out that Kash Patel, Trump's pick for FBI director, keeps an enemies list. Which is funny because, if you're a high school student in Connecticut and the admin learns that you keep an enemies list, oh boy howdy, you're in deep shit.

Pic of my great-grandparents in front of their bakery in Brooklyn, NY. Signs in the window welcome back soldiers at the end of WWI. So, 1918.

Yeah, I love our bird-feeder cam, but as of late I’m getting closeups of more cloacas than I’m comfortable with.

Omg! Socrates is following me here now! Fingers crossed Aristotle is next. As for Plato, well, he’s welcome too, but he’s got some explaining to do about the whole Atlantis thing.
