On my way home once again. Let's hope this one sticks. Plus I need to shave!

I will say it again: You can tell Democrats from Republicans very easily by watching how they interact with reporters. If they are ignoring them as they hurry away, they are republicans. If they stop and talk they are Democrats .
Had to have an emergency angiography. The stents are fine. Going home tomorrow.
That didn't last long. I'm back in the hospital. Chest pressure and dizziness. I'm not having fun.
I'm not feeling good today but this makes me feel better.
I'm home with these angels. Taking it easy for a while. Now I know why I've been so tired for the past year or so. It's not because I'm getting older (as I thought) but because I had two major coronary arteries blocked, 95% and 80% respectively. Eating healthy doesn't protect you from everything.
Proof of life message. Not AI. Not that hard to do.
I am in good hands. This heart attack really interfered with my yard work. I was in the middle of that yardwork when the chest pain and pain down my arm started. Calling 911 was a good call, literally. Got one stint placed today, and a second one tomorrow. I'm not going anywhere, not yet. 💙✌️
Not judging but the wiring on the left is straight out of the factory. On the right is the wiring harness I made using vintage specs, and components. Retro upgrade of my Rickenbacker 330. I think my wiring looks tidier.
Our gig last night (no video yet): The Orient Express in the SODO district is so Seattle! Quirky, historical, vibey & diverse! Our showcase included, punk, an eclectic cover band, a guitar trio, then us, followed by a vocalist from Atlanta. It was over too soon.
The security detail outside Moscow Mitch's hospital is proof that he's still alive? Yeah, right. Like they wouldn't lie to the Capitol police the way they lie to the rest of us. It's a smoke screen; not proof.
Proud of my campus. They installed a drive-up ballot drop box. Sometimes they do the right thing! I voted in our primary/judicial elections--early! Do it!
I will be off line for a bit. I have to drive to Canada to rake their forests. I'm kind of annoyed, as I wasn't even half way done raking the Washington forests.
I can't prove that he's dead, but it's crystal clear that he's not doing his job, or communicating like a normal human being. He should be treated with the same respect that he showed Merrick Garland.
Brown Eyed Susan@browneyedsusan.bsky.social · 3w agoTrump is looking into election fraud at the same time he's pretending a dead Senator is alive. There you have it.
This is Queen Gertrude the Fierce. She has not signed any executive orders supressing voting rights. Nor does she condone racism, sexism, heteronormativity, or human cruelty in any form. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
A thing happened. And I think it is good. My song writing partner (we've been writing music together, off and on, for 4 decades) just showed me a new song that takes me right back to my roots. I can't wait to work it up for YOU. #abbeycats
💯💯💯 Agreed. His death does not erase all of the harm that he caused, endorsed and fought for.
If Andy Beshear doesn’t call for a special election before August 3rd and force Mitch McConnell to prove he can speak in a video, then Andy Beshear becomes the new Merrick Garland. I’m sorry but I make the rules.
Just 10 billionaires have already poured over $600 MILLION into this year's midterms. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. If you're wondering what the real threat to "election integrity" is, it's Big Money.
Not having a great day, but it is better than how it started! The bleeding stopped quickly, I fixed my hair and stopped scowling.
Professor Rick@professorrick.bsky.social · 3w agoThere are better ways of waking up than a cat falling off the window sill above your bed and landing on your face. However, it gets you right out of bed and it's a pretty good indicator that your day will only get better from there.

I need a creative tailor in the Seattle area. I just got 5 Large "cotton linen" shirts from an online store. Scammed. If I'd spent that $ locally, I could've gotten what I wanted. Instead I got 5 s/m shirts made out of some synthetic material, child sized, that look like trash. SMH. My bad.
