We started this Blog in 2013 as a Travel Blog. It naturally evolved into a Lifestyle Blog (with a lot of recipes and other useful information), and then more recently a Political Platform (Anti-Trump and Anti-GOP Traitor) and CoronaVirus Journal.
NOTE: We thought the ATTEMPTED FASCIST TAKEOVER OF OUR GOVERNMENT culminating in the JANUARY 6, 2021 ATTACK ON THE US CAPITOL in Washington DC and the ongoing CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC that has KILLED OVER 600000+ US CITIZENS was more important than non-existent travel or social events. PLEASE READ OUR PREVIOUS CORONAVIRUS JOURNAL (CV!) BLOG POSTS!
We began reporting on COVID-19 in January of 2020!
We warned our loyal readers about the CoronaVirus in early February 2020!
And we issued a TRAVEL ALERT and WARNING at the end of February 2020:
(Not on this day, and now its been 16 months since we posted this warning) And DONALD TRUMP, MITCH MCCONNELL, AND THE GOP TRAITORS REMAIN
A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER TO THE WORLD in the Summer of 2021!

1:45am: The morning after. And it’s only 2:00am.
We fell asleep after 10:30pm with the dog and just woke up.
We took the dog outside.
And we got something in our right eye, and it’s really irritating.
1:00pm: And now we have a very RED EYE today. Like, seek medical attention time.
We watched Marvel’s “Avengers- Endgame” finally this morning.
And then we took the dog outside and the dogs got fed. And then we went to bed.
We hoped our eye would be better, but it’s not. And it’s swollen and hurts too.
FUCK.FUCK.FUCK.FUCK.FUCK.FUCK.FUCK.FUCK.FUCK.FUCK.FUCK.FUCK.
And we drank a cup of espresso. Drink Coffee. Drink Water.
2:00pm: We made another cup of espresso and ate two mini-bran muffins.
The mobile groomer is here today to wash, cut, and do a teeth cleaning for the dogs.
3:00pm: The gardener is here now, the dogs are back in the Home Office.
They are clean, beautiful and happy. We calmed them down, took them outside,
and now they are in the bedroom while the gardener does his thing.
We made another espresso. And we are so fucking done now.
Pause. Breathe. Notice how you feel.
Take slow deep breaths, stretch, or meditate.

Try to do some other activities you enjoy.

and may prevent death if you contract COVID-19.

YOU CAN STILL GET OTHER PEOPLE SICK.
Reach out and stay connected.
Talk with people you trust and tell them how you are feeling.
Check in with your loved ones often.
Recapping Wednesday:
It kinda sucked. Then we got hungry.
We watched TV and surfed the interweb. Our right eye was all fucked up.
Not the vision, but it’s red and irritated, and annoying.
Periodically during the day we flush it with warm water.
Sometime after 9:00pm we turned off the lights and laid down, and fell asleep.
On The Menu: Pizzatime! We ordered an early pizza delivery, around 6:00pm.
And an extra-large pepperoni and sausage pizza appeared – YUM YUM!

Thursday, April 22, 2021 – HAPPY EARTH DAY!
This year’s theme is “Restoration of the Environment”
LOVE YOUR MOTHER EARTH! RESTORE OUR EARTH! Take action today to help end plastic pollution, fight climate change
and Global Warming, and protect our land, air, water, and wildlife!
Earth is approximately 4.6 billion years old. The oldest known rocks are about 4 billion years old (rocks older than 3 billion years are rare) and the oldest fossils of living organisms are less than 3.9 billion years old. With a radius of 3,959 miles, Earth is the biggest of the known terrestrial planets, and the fifth largest in our solar system.

Half Dome from the trail to Mirror Lake – Yosemite, Calfiornia
1:35am: We fell asleep and woke up at 12:30am. We drank a cup of espresso.
Still working on our 4-20 Blog Post. Working on this Blog Post.
Watching Youtube “reaction” and comedy vids on the interweb too.
Ashland Creek in Lithia Park in Ashland Oregon
C-Span is broadcasting “Oral Histories” – Vietnam War primary accounts from Veterans.
The live interviews are from the Vietnam Research Project at the Kenan Research Center at the Atlanta History Center.
Planet Earth – the “3rd Rock from the Sun”
“Picture a bright blue ball just spinning, spinning free Dizzy with eternity Paint it with a skin of sky, brush in some clouds and sea Call it home for you and me A peaceful place, or so it looks from space A closer look reveals the human race Full of hope, full of grace, is the human face But afraid we may lay our home to waste”
– Grateful Dead “Throwing Stones”
JoshWillTravel at Moonstone Beach in Cambria, California
The name “Earth” is at least 1,000 years old and it is the only planet whose name doesn’t come from from Greek or Roman mythology. The name is from Old English and Germanic origins and means “ground”.
Nature is a Mother….
71 Percent of the Earth’s surface is covered with water. Earth’s atmosphere is 77% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, with traces of argon, carbon dioxide and water (H20). Earth’s oceans have an average depth of about 2.5 miles and contains 97 percent of the planet’s water. Earth has a central (inner and outer) core, a rocky mantle and a solid crust.
9:40am: We went to bed again after 6:00am and slept for a couple hours.
We woke up. The dogs went outside. The dogs got fed breakfast.
We drank a cup of espresso. And our eye is a little better this morning.
Doesn’t look better, but it feels a lot better today. Just going to wait it out.
It’s gray outside this morning, and not sunny yet.
Venice Beach – Los Angeles, California
11:20am: We made another cup of espresso. The sun is coming out.
The housekeeper is here again today. So we are chillin’ in the Home Office.
Watching National Geographic’s “WILD” on the NatGeo Channel this morning.
And it’s also National Jelly Bean Day! Enjoy the sweet classic candy with a soft chewy center and a thin candy coating.
You can visit the Jelly Belly factory in Fairfield, California
Fun Facts about Jelly Beans:
Became popular in the 1860s, when William Schrafft, a Boston candy maker,
encouraged people to send jelly beans to Union soldiers fighting the Civil War.
Jelly beans were originally a popular Christmas candy.
The candy became an Easter staple in the 1930s because of its egg shape.
Jelly beans were once sold separately by color.
And they were the first candy sold by weight instead of by the piece.
It can take seven to twenty-one days to make jelly beans.
The blueberry-flavored Jelly Belly was created for Ronald Reagan’s inauguration.
Jelly beans were his favorite candy and they have even been to space (thanks to Reagan).
Enough jelly beans to circle the Earth five times are eaten every year!
Jelly Bean Shot
Ingredients:
1/2 oz Blackberry Brandy (or Grenadine)
1/2 oz Anisette (or Sambuca, anise-flavored liqueur)
1/2 oz Southern Comfort
Directions:
Pour Brandy (or Grenadine) into a tall shot glass
Float the Anisette (or Sambuca) on top of the Brandy
Float the Southern Comfort on top of the Anisette
Serve and enjoy
How to “Float” (Bartending 101):
Hold a bar spoon upside down over the drink and rest the spoon’s tip on the inner edge of the glass, just above the top of the liquid. Slowly pour over the back of the bar spoon and onto the top of the previous ingredient. Move the spoon up as the liquor level rises.
The key is in the three layers of liqueurs: poured on top of each other in order with the heaviest on the bottom and the lightest on top. “Float” the liqueurs by pouring them over the back of a bar spoon. This creates a pretty triple-layered shot. The ingredients have specific densities that make the separation easy. The greater the density difference, the more defined their separation. Density is determined by the sugar and alcohol content. Grenadine is one of the heaviest mixers used for cocktails and will almost always sink to the bottom of the glass, even if it is the last ingredient added.
NOTE: The Anisette will give the drink a “black licorice” jelly bean taste.
Jägermeister is a type of liqueur called Kräuterlikör (herbal liqueur). You can substitute it for the Anisette/Sambuca or just do a shot or two of Jäger! “Jägermeister is a digestif made with 56 herbs and spices. Developed in 1934 by Wilhelm and Curt Mast, it has an alcohol by volume of 35%. The recipe has not changed since its creation and continues to be served in its signature green glass bottle.” – from wikipedia
Fruity Jelly Bean Shot!
Ingredients:
1/2 oz Blue Curacao
1/2 oz Pineapple Juice
1/2 oz Cherry Vodka
Directions:
Pour blue curaçao into tall shot glass.
Gently float pineapple juice on top.
Finish with a float of cherry vodka.
It’s still Earth Day! The first Earth Day was held on April 22, 1970.

Rainbow Falls – Hilo, Hawaii
4:45pm: We drank an iced espresso. We took the dogs outside and we had the dogs in the Home Office. It never really got sunny today. We took a nap with the dog. We ate two slices of cold leftover pizza. We watched the news. We surfed the interweb. And that’s Thursday right? It’s all good today. We woke up from our nap and the housekeeper was gone and the house is clean. The dogs are happy and they were groomed yesterday, so they are pretty clean too.
And the dogs just went outside again.
EARTH
6:30pm: We took the dogs outside. We fed the dogs their supper.
7:25pm: Well, that leftover pizza wasn’t going to eat itself….. On The Menu: four slices of leftover pepperoni and sausage pizza
And “Jeopardy” with guest host Anderson Cooper.
We got the Final Jeopardy question answer right, too.

And we fell asleep and woke up just before midnight.
Name is Humpty, pronounced with an Umpty “The Humpty Dance is your chance to do the hump!”
Rapper and producer Shock G (Gregory Jacobs, aka Humpty Hump) of Digital Underground, found dead at age 57. May the Four Winds blow him safely home. “Doowutchyalike!”
Leslie Richard McKeown, Scottish pop singer and the original lead singer of the Bay City Rollers (1973-78), died at age 65. May the Four Winds blow him safely home.
Picture Point in Yosemite National Park, California – first snow of Winter!
Earth orbits the sun and completes one daily rotation every 23.9 hours. It takes 365.25 days to complete a one year trip around the sun. The Earth’s axis is tilted 23.4 degrees to the plane of the planet’s orbit around the sun and this causes the cycle of seasons.
Earth is the only known planet that has a single moon. The moon is (an average distance of) 238,855 miles away from Earth.
“Just remember that you’re standing on a planet that’s evolving And revolving at 900 miles an hour. It’s orbiting at 19 miles a second, so it’s reckoned, The sun that is the source of all our power.” – Monty Python’s “Galaxy Song”

Happy Birthday William Shakespeare! RIP (1564-1616)
NATIONAL TALK LIKE SHAKESPEARE DAY
first launched by the Chicago Shakespeare Theater in 2009
Illinois Governor Pat Quinn officially proclaimed Talk Like Shakespeare Day in 2011.
also ENGLISH LANGUAGE DAY established by the United Nations in 2010
NATIONAL DAY OF SILENCE – (a day-long vow of silence to) protest bullying and harassment of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) students and the people that support them!
Vegas was active on the Thursday night Livestream from Las Vegas, Nevada.
(not as busy as last week though – March Madness and Spring Break)
New hotels/casinos Circa and Virgin are OPEN! Summertime is coming!
The new Resorts World (Hilton/Conrad/Conracks) is scheduled to open in June.
Restrictions and Regulations have been relaxed, or ignored, or been given lip service.
The Low-Rollers keep coming to spend their stimulus money and take a cheap vacation.
The hotels are re-opening what was closed, taking reservations, and everyone is hiring!
Businesses are having a hard time finding low-wage employees now.
It’s very hard to get an UBER or LYFT, because there aren’t enough drivers working.
And there’s a shortage of rental cars, as we mentioned previously, so rates are sky high.
NATIONAL TAKE A CHANCE DAY
NATIONAL LOST DOG AWARENESS DAY
NATIONAL PICNIC DAY – Have a picnic today!
NATIONAL CHERRY CHEESECAKE DAY! Read our previous Blog Post “Grandma’s Cherry Cheesecake Recipe”
12:50pm: Hello Friday! We went to bed early and woke up late.
We took the dogs outside. The dogs got fed. We took the dogs outside again.
We went back to sleep with the dogs. We woke up and drank a cup of espresso.
We took the dogs outside again. And now we’re in the Home Office chillin’.
1:35pm: We took the dogs outside again. Now time for some lunch. On The Menu: 3 toasted mini-bagels with lox, cream cheese, and lettuce, dill pickle,
and cran-raspberry-orange juice to drink
5:25pm: Friday evening. Another week. Another weekend.
Waiting for our second shot….. staying home. Staying healthy.
No parties. No dinners out. No going out in public except when necessary.
We should have done some errands today, but we said f*ck it.
We hung out with the dogs. We took the dogs outside. We took a nap.
There were TWO PURSUITS this afternoon!
The first was over quickly, guy stole a Fire Truck – Battalion Chief’s SUV, and then he pulled over when the tires got flat and surrendered. The second dude, a DUI suspect (who was seen drinking during the chase) called the cops on himself, then ran it up from freeway to surface streets, through traffic, and all around town, before they finally PIT maneuvered him.
And he was just sitting there on the curb (not complying with officer’s orders) until the K-9 unit arrived and then he quickly surrendered when the dog started barking. HAHA.
5:50pm: We just set up the dogs’ supper in the kitchen and now it’s feeding time.
6:25pm: And the dogs are fed. And we took them outside on both sides.
Now we’re all back chilling’ in the Home Office watching “BBC World News” and network and local news too.
6:50pm: And now they’re all asleep. It’s like having happy tired children. GOOD SHABBOS EVERYONE! We’re getting hungry for our dinner now.
And there was another pursuit! We didn’t watch it, and it was over before we tuned in.
A suspected carjacker was being tracked and he just pulled over and surrendered.
AND DOES ANYONE CARE ABOUT THE OSCARS? The Academy Awards are happening on Sunday. Who’s going to watch?
Elton John is having his Oscar party online and everyone’s invited for $.
(of course the money goes to charity)
We don’t know who’s nominated, or why. We heard “diversity” which is hilarious.
The OSCARS ARE SO WHITE and SO “INDUSTRY INSIDER” RUN.
At least Harvey Weinstein is in prison. We hate the ceremony for it’s ADVERTISING.
Both onstage, onscreen, and during the many commercials. Even the Red Carpet is just product placement and advertising – “promote your sh*t to the public” is the game.
And we’ll have an awards show where we give each other prizes for “best whatever”….
10:35pm: We ate a little cheese and a toasted croissant. We drank an iced espresso.
We took the dogs outside again. Now it’s time for dinner. What shall we have to eat?
We never did decide what to eat.
Instead we ate a black&white cookie and called that dinner.
COVID-19 Worldwide Update:
3,082,000+ Reported Deaths Worldwide!
571000+ Reported Deaths in the United States. FIVE HUNDRED SEVENTY-ONE THOUSAND US CITIZENS HAVE DIED!
Canada is on total lockdown. India is in total crisis.
Japan has an emergency situation in Tokyo.
And they want to have the Olympics there in a couple months.
The Johnson&Johnson vaccine is back in service. It’s safe (with a warning about blood clots).
Safe for people over the age of 18. Women under the age of 50 are subject to side effects. GET VACCINATED! Moderna, Pfizer or Johnson&Johnson? Just do it.
The benefits outweigh the risk. Believe the SCIENCE!
Anyone seen an Indonesian submarine?
It sunk off Bali. And now they’ve run out of air. RIP
And Carl LaBove died today. Rest in Peace.
May the Four Winds blow him safely home. Partytime with Sam again.

JOE BIDEN WON. KAMALA HARRIS WON. TRUMP IS A LOSER. TRUMP IS A TRAITOR. TRUMP IS A CRIMINAL.
Wednesday, January 20, 2021 THE INAUGURATION OF PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN!
3:15AM: Of course we are awake! We’ve been waiting FOUR YEARS for this to be over. BYE BYE TRUMP! – And we aren’t going to talk about the pardons from last night yet.
How it started, how it’s going:
“IT’S A GREAT DAY FOR AMERICA!” Today will be a celebration of the new administration. A NEW DAY IN AMERICA! The Trump legacy will be DEATH. 400000+ Reported US DEAD! THE ACTUAL NUMBER MAY HAVE ALREADY PASSED 500000! Thousands more will die before this disease is contained. The long-term effects will be severe. “the genie is out of the bottle” Failure to contain the virus in February and March, now makes it impossible to contain. Trump FAILED. Pence FAILED. Everyone in the Trump Administration FAILED. THEY CAUSED THIS. POLITICS OF WEARING A MASK CAUSED THIS. HYDROXYCLORAQUINE CAUSED THIS! (Trump’s “PUMP AND DUMP” Con) HERD IMMUNITY CAUSED THIS! FAILURE TO TEST AND TRACK CAUSED THIS! THERE NEVER WAS A FEDERAL PLAN! THEY FAILED AT EVERY STAGE WITH PPE AND SUPPLIES! THEY HELD “SUPER-SPREADER” RALLIES AND WHITE HOUSE PARTIES! They killed Herman Cain. They tried to expose Joe Biden at the Presidential Debate. They infected The White House and the Secret Service, the Military and the Congress. And then they held an Insurrection with a Rally, a Parade, and an Attack on the US Capitol. TRUMP TRIED TO MURDER THE VICE-PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF CONGRESS! He wanted the mob to kill his political enemies, and any one else who was there. He wanted to declare Martial Law and make himself King Trump. TRUMP FAILED. HE MUST BE PUNISHED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW! Arrest Trump. Investigate Trump. Prosecute Trump. CARRY OUT THE SENTENCE WITHOUT MERCY! NO PARDON! Seize All of Trump’s Assets. Freeze All of Trump’s Bank Accounts Worldwide! Arrest and Prosecute Trump’s Family! Arrest and Prosecute Trump’s Stooges! LOCK THEM UP! LOCK THEM UP! LOCK THEM UP! LOCK THEM UP!
USA! USA! USA!
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN! 10:00am:“HAIL TO THE CHIEF!” Joe Biden is the 46th President of the United States. Kamala Harris is Vice-President of the United States. Trump is now a private citizen again and can now be arrested for GENOCIDE, Crimes Against Humanity, Crimes Against Children, Felony Murder, Treason, Sedition, Rape, Fraud, Wire Fraud, Tax Evasion, Conspiracy and many other crimes. ARREST! PROSECUTE! AND EXECUTE! 400000+ DEAD AMERICANS DEMAND JUSTICE! TRUMP KILLED THEM!
We just put the American Flag out in front of the house! It really is a new day in America. WE ARE FREE! FREE AT LAST! FREE FROM TRUMP! Four years of crime. Four years of treason. Four years of racism, anti-semitism and hate. Four years of violence against US Citizens by law enforcement and the government. WE CAN CELEBRATE THE INAUGURATION OF JOE BIDEN TODAY! TOMORROW WE MUST BEGIN THE PURGE OF EVERY TRUMP APPOINTEE! Every Trump hire, every Trump stooge, every Trump staffer, every Trump supporter! THEY CANNOT BE TRUSTED! EVERYTHING TRUMP TOUCHED IS CORRUPTED!
11:15am: Well it’s been a busy morning in Washington DC! Biden&Co went to church, then went to The US Capitol, and they got inaugurated, They did a “drive-by” review of the National Guard troops on the way to Arlington Cemetery. The Inauguration Ceremony was beautiful and a “take back” of the United States! Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were sworn into office. (Joe Biden used his family bible again) Garth Brooks sang “Amazing Grace”, and there was an opening prayer, Lady Gaga sang the National Anthem (and Mike Pence had to watch) Joe Biden made a well crafted speech. And J-Lo (Jennifer Lopez) sang. Inaugural Poet (22 year old) Amanda Gorman stole the show with her poem, “The Hill We Climb”.
FUN FACT:
They moved inside. The passing of the Nuclear “Football” was immediate and done behind closed doors. Gifts were given, and speeches were made inside the US Capitol. Beautiful etched vases from Lennox Crystal (made in USA) were gifted to the new President and Vice-President. Joe Biden signed an Executive Order.
Then there was a motorcade through Washington, past National Guardsmen lining the streets and saluting, all the way to Arlington, Virginia. Now Presidents Clinton, Bush Jr., Obama, Biden and their wives and Vice-President Harris and her husband (“the Second Gentleman”) are all together laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington Cemetery. Hearing the National Anthem, the Star Spangled Banner, and watching them be real leaders for the Nation is bringing tears to our eyes. And now they’re playing “Taps” for all the fallen and there are flags flying on every grave. A Moment of Silence and Silent Prayer, and a Presidential Photo Op. And the Presidential Couples are going up the steps and inside General Robert E. Lee’s old house to pay respects, and say goodbye to each other. (pause in the ceremony) Biden and Harris will motorcade in a “virtual parade to The White House. Biden will sign many Executive Orders, and start the business of repairing the damage that Trump, the GOP Traitors, and Trump’s criminal associates have caused to our great country.
Vice-President Kamala Harris is the first African-American, first Asian-American and first Woman to hold this Federal Office! And Joe Biden is the oldest President to hold office.
12:15pm: Drink Coffee. Drink Water. We made some food and another cup of espresso. The Presidential motorcade is “parading” to The White House now. Trump wanted a “military sendoff”, does this count? Just think of how much it is costing for all this SECURITY. 25000 National Guardsmen from across the country. Gas, food, lodging, and other services for the military and support personnel. Law Enforcement and Investigation. They vetted the National Guardsmen. Maximum protection. Don’t forget the air cover provided by the Air Force. YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK (or is it just being wasted?)

12:40pm: The motorcade is holding in front of the Treasury Building…. Looks like they are doing a Security Assessment before Joe Biden gets out of the limo. The University of Delaware Drumline is keeping time. And the Biden family is out of the limousine and walking to The White House now. MAXIMUM SECURITY! The streets are empty except for military and law enforcement. They’re parading past the media, and Joe went and fist-bumped someone. And he said hello DC Mayor Muriel Bowser. Hello to some other people. Joe Biden has entered The White House grounds and is walking up the driveway. Presidential Marching Band and many flags – each state and territory. Lots of media of course. Standing at the West Wing steps and waving. Band playing “Hail to the Chief” and “G-d Bless America” (now we’re really crying) And Joe hugs his wife and the First Family enters The White House. (yes, there has been a “deep-cleaning” done after the last occupant was removed)
THE INAUGURAL PARADE on CNN: “Parade Across America” with John Stewart, the dancing TikTok Doc, High Country Cloggers, Chinese American Community Center in Delaware, What’s your vision for America? Heroes Next Door, Mariachi Joya from Las Vegas High School perform together virtually, “Felicidades!” Kamala Harris and her husband enter The White House (and we’re crying again), Wheelchair bound athletes from the Ryan Martin Foundation passing the ball, Hawaiian Oil Chant from Hawaii, TAPS – Military Loss Survivors, USMC Silent Drill Platoon – “Semper Fi!”, the Puerto Rico Royalty Winterguard perform, the TikTok Doc, and many more Americans of all races and religions celebrating into the afternoon.
The Howard University Marching Band parades in Washington DC for the Vice-President. VP Kamala Harris and the Second Gentleman are getting ready to walk down the street. Pausing for the Security Assessment, and they are out if the limo, greeting the family on the street, and now walking to The White House and her new office in the Old Executive Building.
EVERYONE, all day long, at every event, is wearing a mask.
Remember Trump said the stock market would crash if Biden was elected? Stocks just hit a historic all-time high today as Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are inaugurated.
1:30pm: FOXNEWS CRAWL: “President Biden & The Progressive Agenda” MSNBC covering the swearing in of the three New Democratic Senators: Jon Ossoff, the first Jewish Senator from Georgia Rev Raphael Warnock, the first African-American Senator from Georgia and Alex Padilla replacing Kamala Harris as the Senator from California Democrats now control the Senate, The House of Representatives, and The White House.
VP Kamala Harris is in the Senate: She administers the Oath of Office. The new Senators sign in. Oh look it’s Diane Feinstein. Senator Chuck Schumer opens business for the Senate. Pat Leahy (D-VT) will become President Pro-Tem “Mitch is officially a minority!”– Wanda Sykes on Twitter
2:00pm: President Joe Biden is in the Oval Office. Biden’s first proclamation: “NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim January 20, 2021, a National Day of Unity…”
We made some lunch. On The Menu: Toasted pepperjack cheese sandwich on whole wheat sourdough bread and another espresso to drink.
BIDEN to his staff: “If you’re ever working with me and I hear you treating another colleague with disrespect, talking down to someone, I will fire you on the spot. On the spot. No ifs ands or buts.”
3:45pm: We took a little nap while they took care of some business, We woke up and drank an espresso and ate a couple cookies.
President Joe Biden on DAY ONE: rescinded Trump’s “Muslim Ban” that targeted Africans. rejoined the Paris Climate Accord Agreement (climate change & science are back) revoked the permit for the Keystone XL Pipeline – it is dead. halted all oil and gas leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge paused student loan payments until September 30 extended the eviction moratorium stopped construction at the southern border wall removed the racist Trump “1776 Commission Report” from the Whitehouse website mandated masks and social distancing on federal property “Mask Up America” is President Biden’s “100 Day Masking Challenge”

The Senate confirmed Avril Haines for Director of National Intelligence. (the 10 “NO” votes were cast by the Ted Cruz and the GOP Traitors)
YOU’RE FIRED! White House chief usher Timothy Harleth has been dismissed. He was hired by Melania Trump in 2017 and was once a manager at the Trump Hotel DC. UPDATE: President Joe Biden did not fire the Chief Usher. Timothy Harleth was fired by Trump and Melania, and “The Trumps sent the butlers home when they left so there would be no one to help the Bidens when they arrived,….So petty.”
President Joe Biden fired attorney Peter Robb, a Trump appointee and stooge, after he refused to resign as National Labor Relations Board general counsel.
NSA General Counsel Michael Ellis, installed by Trump last week, was put on administrative leave today. He is now under investigation by the Department of Defense Inspector General.

WE NEED VENGEANCE FOR THE DEAD! TRUMP TRIED TO KILL ART AND CULTURE AND MUSIC AND POETRY! WE NEED A RECKONING!
Watching journalists, democrats, artists, and especially LGBTQ and people of color, taking a victory lap today and tonight is so uplifting and cathartic for this country. “The enemy of my enemy is my friend” and the #GOPTraitors are the enemy.
8:45pm: We had Thai food delivered for dinner. And groceries too. On The Menu: Thai BBQ chicken and fried rice with juice to drink.
CNN CRAWL: “PRESIDENT BIDEN: ‘DEMOCRACY HAS PREVAILED'”
The Washington Post’s Trump fact-checkers say Trump made 30573 false or misleading claims in four years. That’s approximately twenty per day.
“Reluctantly I have concluded that President Trump is a serious threat to US national security. He is refusing to protect vital US interests from active Russian attacks. It is apparent that he is for some unknown reason under the sway of Mr Putin” – General Barry R. McCaffrey (ret.), March 16, 2018 on Twitter
MAR-A-LAGO: 561-832-2600 (ask for Trump, tell them you’re a friend of Jeffrey Epstein)
We must expel-arrest-prosecute-execute the GOPTraitors!
Kevin McCarthy making a speech or even being in the Capitol building is a disgrace. The GOP tried to overturn the election. They tried to disqualify the votes for Joe Biden! Twelve years of croneyism, racism, anti-semitism, hate, obstruction, and malfeasance. The GOPTraitors not only tolerated Trump’s perversion of our democracy, some Republicans in Congress actively joined in to interfere in the election and overthrow the US Government!

11:30pm: We got a Twitter “TIMEOUT” for 12 hours. Okay, tweeting “Heads Will Roll! Purge the Trump stooges!” is probably not allowed. We didn’t even bother to appeal it. We need a forced Twitter break! We just removed the tweet, started the “Timeout Clock” and shut the window.
“Today was a good day. And it was only possible because of you. Because you made calls. Because you marched. Because you wore your masks and voted like never before. For four years, you defended our democracy with everything you had. ….and now, our country can enter a new day.” – President Barack Hussein Obama
THE WHOLE WORLD WAS WATCHING.
Be thankful. Be grateful. Be kind to each other – love one another – support everyone*. Peace and Love!
In case you missed it, we are celebrating 150000 HITS on this Blog!
5:30am: And good morning Tuesday. We have been up all night again.
The dogs got fed and were outside, then we finally went to bed.
12:00Noon: We fell asleep after 6:00am and slept until 11:30am.
National Chocolate Day 2020!
***CORONAVIRUS CASES ARE RISING!*** 131,000 UNITED STATES CITIZENS ARE DEAD!
AND IT’S NOT A HARMLESS FLU!
Covid-19 attacks the respiratory system, and also causes damage to other organs, including THE BRAIN! CoronaVirus causes permanent and long-term illness.
In TWO WEEKS it will be even worse. (and they are doing nothing to stop it)
Thousands more will die, and Tens of Thousands more will be sick, infected and spreading the virus further. And Trump/Pence think they’re doing great.
The “BAILOUT MONEY” went to corporations, friends of Trump, and churches.
Kanye West’s Yeezy brand got millions. A 500 BILLION DOLLAR GIVEAWAY! Some people got $1200 – but WE DID NOT.
Some people got Government money and SBA loans – WE DID NOT.
We are very fortunate that we can “shelter in place” and “self-isolate”.
We are not an essential worker, (there are lots of job openings right?)
and we wouldn’t want to be one with the current conditions.
This Week’s Distraction: Trump wants to re-open the schools.
And the news media follows wherever he tweets….
TRUMP KNEW ABOUT THE RUSSIAN BOUNTY ON US TROOPS
AND THEN DID AND SAID NOTHING! HE IS PUTIN’S BITCH!
And every GOP Republican is GUILTY of TREASON for aiding and abetting Trump.
TRUMP STILL WON’T WEAR A MASK!
This is all a Democratic HOAX right?
It will magically disappear. Cases are going down. We have it under control.
Drink the Bleach. And then he pressured Governors to re-open too early.
Spring Break and Mardi Gras led to massive outbreaks.
Memorial Day weekend led to outbreaks, spikes and spread.
(OUR CURRENT NATIONAL EMERGENCY!)
And 4th of July will lead to further surge, spikes, spread and new outbreaks!
Some states are SPIKING and are totally overwhelmed with new cases…..
There is no National Testing or Tracking!
There is not enough testing and there is not enough tracking. THERE ISN’T EVEN A NATIONAL PLAN (and they are ignoring the facts)
EVERYTHING TRUMP SAYS IS A LIE! – EVERYTHING TRUMP SAYS IS A LIE! – EVERYTHING TRUMP SAYS IS A LIE! – EVERYTHING TRUMP SAYS IS A LIE! – EVERYTHING TRUMP SAYS IS A LIE! – EVERYTHING TRUMP SAYS IS A LIE!
AND THEY CAN’T WAIT TO GET PROFESSIONAL SPORTS OPEN!
They need the public distracted!
They are losing BILLIONS OF DOLLARS!
No games, no gambling. No ad sales, no sponsorships. NO FREEBIES.
NO KICKBACKS for the Team Owners! NO TICKET SALES!
NO PAY-PER-VIEW! NO CONCESSIONS! NO FANTASY SPORTS!
Professional Wrestling doesn’t count.
NASCAR is already back, but without fans in the stands.
Major League Soccer started play today! (and there was a BLM tribute for 8:45mins)
NBA and WNBA Players are “In the Bubble” at Walt Disney World in Orlando.
Major League Baseball is trying to rally for a short season,
but all minor league games have been cancelled for the 2020 season.
And NHL Hockey and NFL Football are trying to figure out how to play.
(BLACK LIVES MATTER! REMEMBER COLIN KAEPERNICK AND TAKE A KNEE?)
Other sports are also trying to work out how to re-open. MANY OF THE TEAM OWNERS/INVESTORS ARE FRIEND’S OF TRUMP!
The military depends on professional sports for recruitment advertising. THIS IS ALL JUST MORE DISTRACTION FROM OUR NATIONAL EMERGENCY!
We didn’t really eat much and we really don’t have an appetite. NOTE: And we are never “not hungry”, except after a good meal.
We are just NOT HUNGRY. So we made a quesadilla with salsa and ate that and some red grapes around dinnertime. We also ate some peanuts and some pita chips during the day, and then we ate (S’mores flavored) pop-tarts and a grapefruit in early AM.
As of July 6, 2020 (a record high number of new cases again!) 116570+ Reported Cases and 3534+ Deaths in Los Angeles County 16850+ Reported Cases and 366 Deaths in Orange County
15340+ Reported Cases and 269 Deaths in San Bernandino County
19450+ Reported Cases and 479 Deaths in Riverside County
271490+ Reported Cases and 6360+ Deaths in California
2932000+ Reported Cases and 132000+ Deaths in the United States
THERE IS STILL NO FEDERAL TESTING OR TRACKING!
“between 800 and 1,000 Americans are going to die every single day.”
Wednesday, July 8, 2020
We woke up early after not sleeping all night again.
We are mentally and emotionally exhausted.
12:30pm: We tried to watch the CoronaVirus Task Force Press Conference this morning, but it was just Pence LYING and boasting and patting himself and Trump on the back while failing to address and/or acknowledge the rising numbers and 131000 US DEATHS!
We had to turn it off.
They want to take away your healthcare and protection for pre-existing conditions.
They want you and your family to die for Trump’s economy, so he brag about it.
The Supreme Court just upheld Trump removing mandated birth control coverage.
Trump has done everything possible to undermine our Federal Government!
He has destroyed years of Government Protections and Restriction that protect us!
Trump has stolen and funneled public money to his campaign, his companies and his friends and donors. They have given Billions of Dollars in tax breaks to corporations.
(and they changed the tax code to fuck the poor and the working class) IF YOU HAVEN’T FIGURED IT OUT YET, THE STOCK MARKET IS BULLSHIT!
The economy is in ruins, with 40 million unemployed, and there’s no problem right?
Just watching California Governor Gavin Newsome’s daily TV address/CoronaVirus update, and IT IS THE SAME EVERYDAY! There’s no good news. Shit is not getting better, it is getting much worse. And in two weeks we’re really fucked. And the only solution is a total HARDCORE LOCKDOWN and QUARANTINE with TESTING AND TRACKING….
and it may already be too late, which may be why they aren’t doing a total shutdown. TRUMP and PENCE THINK THEY CAN IGNORE IT AND IT WILL DISAPPEAR. TRUMP and PENCE THINK NO ONE WILL REMEMBER 131000+ US CITIZENS HAVE DIED BECAUSE OF THEIR TOTAL FAILURE!
EVERYTHING TRUMP SAYS IS A LIE! – EVERYTHING TRUMP SAYS IS A LIE! – EVERYTHING TRUMP SAYS IS A LIE! – EVERYTHING TRUMP SAYS IS A LIE! – EVERYTHING TRUMP SAYS IS A LIE! – EVERYTHING TRUMP SAYS IS A LIE!

65 NEW REPORTED DEATHS IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY TODAY!
6:15pm: The gardener came today. We took an afternoon nap while he was here.
We woke up and took care of the dogs (and we ordered dinner) and the dogs got fed.
On The Menu: Chinese Food delivery! Kung pao chicken, sweet&sour chicken, broccoli beef, steamed rice and chicken egg rolls. And leftovers for later tonight and tomorrow.
We ate, we posted the 6:15 and On the Menu, and then we fell asleep for an hour.
We woke up and took the dogs outside, and now we are all back chilling in the office.
We watched TV and surfed the interweb and played with the dogs for the rest of the night. We just don’t remember anything noteworthy about last night really.

7:30am Good morning! We were up early early. The dogs went outside and…
A dead rat in the little yard this morning.
Must have fallen out of the oak tree and died on impact.
We took the dogs back out into the big yard and then they got fed.
And we bagged and disposed of the dead rat in the yard. We f*ckin’ hate rats.
Too early for the Sun, but here’s to the cement pond!
We made an espresso, but we kinda lost our appetite for breakfast….
and we were hungry too.
The dogs went out again, then we went back into the office.

Earth (AKA “the World” or “the Globe”) is the third planet from the Sun and is the birthplace of humanity and the cradle of human civilization.
‘s Earth Day Doodle!
Earth is approximately 4.6 billion years old. The oldest known rocks are about 4 billion years old (rocks older than 3 billion years are rare) and the oldest fossils of living organisms are less than 3.9 billion years old. With a radius of 3,959 miles, Earth is the biggest of the known terrestrial planets, and the fifth largest in our solar system.
Planet Earth, Sol System, Milky Way Galaxy, Universe
71 Percent of the Earth’s surface is covered with water. Earth’s atmosphere is 77% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, with traces of argon, carbon dioxide and water (H20). Earth’s oceans have an average depth of about 2.5 miles and contains 97 percent of the planet’s water. Earth has a central (inner and outer) core, a rocky mantle and a solid crust.
The name “Earth” is at least 1,000 years old and it is the only planet whose name doesn’t come from from Greek or Roman mythology. The name is from Old English and Germanic origins and means “ground”.
Earth orbits the sun and completes one daily rotation every 23.9 hours. It takes 365.25 days to complete a one year trip around the sun. The Earth’s axis is tilted 23.4 degrees to the plane of the planet’s orbit around the sun and this causes the cycle of seasons.
Earth is the only known planet that has a single moon. The moon is (an average distance of) 238,855 miles away from Earth.

We Can Run
by John Barlow & Brent Mydland
We don’t own this place though we act as if we did It belongs to the children of our children’s kids The actual owners haven’t even been born yet
But we never tend the garden and we rarely pay the rent Most of it is broken and the rest of it is bent Put it all on plastic and I wonder where we’ll be when the bills hit
We can run but we can’t hide from it Of all possible worlds we only got one, we gotta ride on it Whatever we’ve done we’ll never get far from what we leave behind Baby we can run, run, run but we can’t hide
Well I’m dumping my trash in your back yard Making certain you don’t notice really isn’t so hard You’re so busy with your guns and all of your excuses to use them
Well it’s oil for the rich and babies for the poor We’ve got everyone believing that more is more If a reckoning comes maybe we’ll know what to do then
We can run but we can’t hide from it Of all possible worlds we only got one, we gotta ride on it Whatever we’ve done we’ll never get far from what we leave behind Baby we can run, run, run but we can’t hide
All these complications seem to leave no choice I heard the tongues of billions speak with just one voice Saying just leave all the rest to me, I need it worse than you, you see Then I heard the sound of one child crying
Today I went out walking in the amber wind There’s a hole in the sky where the light pours in I remember the days when I wasn’t afraid of the sunshine
But now it beats down on the ashphalt land Like a hammering blow from God’s left hand What little still grows Cringes in the shade till the night-time
We can run but we can’t hide from it Of all possible worlds we only got one, we gotta ride on it Whatever we’ve done we’ll never get far from what we leave behind Baby we can run, run, run but we can’t hide (….no, we can’t hide.)
