Find some friends, snuggle up together, and sleep for four years. I am still banking on the fact that America couldn’t possibly be stupid enough to elect Trump twice… on the other hand, I didn’t think they would be stupid enough to do it once… so… yeah…
Move to the Arctic… wait… what am I saying? They are going to remove all restrictions and oversight on everything that causes climate change… the Arctic will no longer exist… maybe move to the top of a very tall mountain… in Uruguay…
Hide under your bed for four years.
What? Oh, well, of course I sleep in a bed like that. I am a Scottish Lord, remember.
Now, he says stupid stuff, and he is only days away from being the most powerful man in the most powerful country on the planet, at a time when the climate is going crazy, Russia and China are acting up, terrorism is rampant, the economy was almost but not quite fixed, and the world is in turmoil.
I mean, what could possibly go wrong?
Show us your tax returns, divest yourself of your companies that are conflicts of interest, get off Twitter, and get your head out of your ass, Donald.
Oh man… I love that fat ceramic samurai cat… he was like five feet tall… I want that in my living room!
A bridge too far…
Spot, the cat…
The fifth column…
Amusement…
Wired in…
Sit and Stay…
Looming…
Shadow chains…
Flutterby…
Chilly…
Reach for the sky…
Air shark…
Lines…
Crossed out…
Fishercat’s Wharf… wait… is that even a fish? I thought it was a fish, but now I’m not so sure.
There she is, that feisty ninety-something-year-old… playing our antique player piano… the cardiovascular workout of the early 1900’s… with one of the tikis I carved for her looking on, bedecked in its Christmas finery!
We spent our last night in the Bay Area playing poop games, given as Christmas gifts, and drinking… because that is how the Brownes roll!!!
While my wife, younger daughter, her boyfriend, and Uncle Sid were at a 49ers football game on that last day, I drove down to the bay for a few last pictures.
Now that is a proper background for the Golden Gate!
A gratuitous picture of a bird, because I had the zoom lens on.
I hope you have enjoyed all these posts about our latest adventure in the Bay Area. I shared our bizarre double Christmas ritual, three days of sightseeing in San Francisco, our godson, a science museum, a day trip to Berkeley, animals, food, and fun.
There will just be a few more posts of some artsy pictures I took in San Francisco, just for you… because I am artsy… and I was in San Francisco…
And then I can get back to making fun of Mr. Trump… (at least until I get locked up in a camp somewhere)… and… ummmm… doing whatever else it is that I do around here… which is whatever the hell the crack squirrels that live in my brain tell me to do!
We are nearing the end of yet another adventure to the Bay Area…
On the way back to my mom’s house from Berkeley, we stopped at the Berkeley marina.
Looking at San Francisco from across the bay is always fun, especially after you just spent three days touring the crap out of.
The statue that I helped make is still there. That thing is like 20 feet tall. I am sure I did a post about it somewhere.
You could try typing: ‘lion statue’ into the search bar thingy.
I hope you have enjoyed our Christmas adventures.
I know I did.
That is a pretty big ship headed out past the Golden Gate.
Okay, see you soon, for the last couple of posts about all this.
Growing up in the Bay Area during the 60’s and 70’s, I may… maybe… know a little about the drug culture… Now, all of a sudden, one of those drugs is legal. My wife and I took our 17-year-old daughter and her 18-year-old boyfriend into a place that sold supplies for the usage of substance in question…
Yeah, it was like walking into any other kind of store. For some reason, the fact that it is no longer associated with an illegal substance makes the whole thing sort of boring.
There are a few new gadgets, some electronic devices that they didn’t have when I was a rebellious kid… but for the most part, things are pretty much the same.
I guess we will just have to see if I am going to take advantage of the new laws… but if I do, maybe I will share that with you too.
But it is funny how much time and money the cops used to spend, busting people with small amounts of weed… pot, dope,buds,smoke,ganja,grass, whatever the cool kids called it back in your day.
A few quick shots of some wall art…
A mural that pays tribute to Berkeley’s past as a center of cultural change…
A reminder of a turbulent time when there was a revolution to try to change the way society works.
Let’s hope we don’t have to go through that again… Trump… I’m looking at you…
