See the rules in the first post if you don’t understand what is happening here… not that it would be the first time you didn’t understand what is happening here… heck, I usually don’t understand what is happening here.

Where the heck is that??? An artistic guessing game… part 1…

I am going to spend this weekend posting pictures of famous places that I have artistically transformed in some way. You have to guess where those famous places are.

I will do three posts, each with a new version of each picture, and then show the original photo in the last of the three posts…

Here is the first one…

Oh, and I am not going to tell you if you are right or wrong until the third post either…

Now, where the heck is that???

My mom… over 90 and still a swinger…

My mom, and my brother Sid, the pusher. They came down to San Diego last weekend to see Mollie, our 17-year-old, perform in a choir recital at her school, and watch her and the other cheerleaders at the senior night game.

I’m not sure if she was enjoying the swinging… but she can still do it.

Some pictures…

Here are some pictures my daughter, Mollie, took of her boyfriend and I. I think, if you scroll down really fast, it will look like a video… maybe…

A poem I wrote warning you about Trump, way back when he first slithered into the primaries…

Donald, may I call you Don?

Or would you prefer Mr. Trump?

Into the primaries you have been drawn

You say America is in a slump

As much as I would love to end up as your pawn

I’m afraid I’m not that much of a chump

I can hardly wait to see the dawn

You thing in the night that goes bump

Most of us just want to see you gone

You human-shaped camel’s hump

With your hair like a poorly manicured lawn

And you head like a rotting stump

Yes we cannot wait until you’ve withdrawn

You ambulatory garbage dump

What causes you to ramble on?

What makes you such a grump?

Your morals have been overdrawn

You spew vile like a septic tank pump

America’s not falling for your con

So go take a flying jump

If you insist on behaving like Satan’s spawn

I would like to sit down with a thump

And it’s your face I would like to sit upon

So that you can kiss my big, sweet rump…

The last sunrise…

a-1

Okay… once again, not technically the ‘last’ sunrise… we should have a few more… at least until the election results are in…

a-2

But these are the last of the photos I took during my early morning drive down the California Coastal Highway One on my way back from the Bay Area.

a-3

There is a lighthouse in the early morning fog.

a-4

And there is the sun, popping up over the hills. I already shared all the pictures of the elephant seals, some nice horses I met, Hearst castle, the sea otters, and whatnot.

a-5

Yeah, I had to get up at 3:30 in the morning to get these pictures for you…

a-6

But I also got to have a nice little adventure.

a-7

And I had the road almost to myself.

a-8

I got to enjoy the solitude of the moment.

a-9

I got to bond with the sea and the sky.

a-10

And I reminded myself how lucky I am to live in California.

The last sunset…

a-1

Okay, obviously these aren’t the last sunset in any literal sense. They are just the last photos of that one sunset I took from the Berkeley hills on my last Bay Area adventure.

a-2

I know I took too many pictures, but I can’t waste them.

a-3

And that view never looks the same, not only on different nights, but even on the same night, if you stay long enough.

a-4

As the color fades from the sky and the lights begin to come on, something magical happens.

a-5

The darkness descends like a vast, living thing…

a-6

The sun fights to hold it back…

a-7

Darkness adds an air of mystery to a city, especially when viewed from above and far away. You are part of the city, and yet not part of it. You are a secret admirer. You are also a peeping Tom. HA!
