Made it home to crazy California with no bullet holes. Can't believe the loony tones fell for the for the bull on prop 6. "Yes" should have won 99 to 1. This election ended it for me I'm done with this state. An idiot governor, foolish senators and then there is the sickening, revolting not human Nancy. I trying to persuade the wife to put our property on the market and get the hell out of this radical state. I truly have my heart on Portugal.

www.nytimes.com/2019/05/09/us/alabama-abortion.html?action=click&module=Well&pgtype=Homepage§ion=US"The Alabama Senate on Thursday postponed debate on a proposal to outlaw most abortions in the state, delaying a measure that is intended to serve as a direct challenge to the Supreme Court’s holding that a woman has a constitutional right to end a pregnancy. Faced with a procedural dispute and open divisions among Republicans over how far the abortion ban should go, the Senate abruptly adjourned until Tuesday. As the chaos played out on the Senate floor, where lawmakers clashed over whether the state should allow abortions in cases of rape or incest, supporters and critics alike acknowledged that the bill, the most far-reaching effort in the nation this year to curb abortion, was still likely to become law. “I know you all are for this bill, and I know this bill is going to pass,” Senator Vivian Davis Figures, a Democrat and one of the few women in the Alabama Legislature, told Republicans on the floor on Thursday. “You all are going to get your way, but at least treat us fairly and do it the right way.” The measure would effectively ban most abortions at every stage of pregnancy. Doctors could be charged with a felony and face up to 99 years in prison for performing an abortion, unless the woman’s health was at “serious” risk."
I'm still glad we didn't let Alabama secede. Someone sane needs to keep a grip on their leash.

I've moved to Spain. No one gives a shit about politics. I know there is another Obama in the future of the US and that will most likely be the end of the US. Everyone is happy in Spain, there's no Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, Beto, or screw your way to the top Harris. Not even a Spartacus. Trump is loved here, he is regarded as freedom, honesty and strength. Obama is spoken of like that turd from Canada but in a better way. At lest Obama was flushed, the Turd is still floating in the toilet bowl.

www.nytimes.com/2019/06/27/arts/design/caravaggio-buyer-j-tomilson-hill.html"The American billionaire hedge fund manager and art collector J. Tomilson Hill is the mysterious buyer of an early 17th-century canvas billed as a rediscovered masterpiece by Caravaggio, according to a person with knowledge of the sale. The painting, “Judith and Holofernes,” depicts a scene from the Old Testament’s Book of Judith in which a Jewish widow saves her besieged city by tempting and then beheading an Assyrian general. The unsigned artwork was estimated to sell on Thursday in Toulouse, France, for at least $110 million, the highest auction price ever achieved for any artwork in Europe. But on Tuesday, the auctioneers Marc Labarbe and Eric Turquin announced that the painting had sold to a collector outside France and that the auction had been canceled." Awwwww...isn't this special? The marriage of two corrupt institutions, hedge funds and the art world.

www.nytimes.com/2019/09/04/technology/san-diego-electric-scooters.html?action=click&module=Editors%20Picks&pgtype=Homepage"SAN DIEGO — The first thing you notice in San Diego’s historic Gaslamp Quarter is not the brick sidewalks, the rows of bars and the roving gaggles of bachelorette parties and conferencegoers, or even the actual gas lamps. It’s the electric rental scooters. Hundreds are scattered around the sidewalks, clustered in newly painted corrals on the street and piled up in the gutters. In early July, one corner alone had 37. In the area around Mission Beach, one of the city’s main beaches, a single side of one block had 70. Most sat unused. Since scooter rental companies like Bird, Lime, Razor, Lyft and Uber-owned Jump moved into San Diego last year, inflating the city’s scooter population to as many as 40,000 by some estimates, the vehicles have led to injuries, deaths, lawsuits and vandals. Regulators and local activists have pushed back against them. One company has even started collecting the vehicles to help keep the sidewalks clear." San Diego does not often make the NYT but here it is with it's annoying scooter infestation. I worry most about how unsafely kids ride these things. I'm surprised there hasn't been more deaths. Ya don't need a license or a helmet to zip along at 40 mph.

I think it's amusing that the top visitor numbers to this board are Russia, USA, and Ukraine, in that order. The UK is a far fourth.

www.nytimes.com/2019/11/18/arts/design/gauguin-national-gallery-london.html?fallback=false&recId=149973446&locked=0&geoContinent=NA&geoRegion=CA&recAlloc=story&geoCountry=US&blockId=home-featured&imp_id=649985702&action=click&module=editorsPicks&pgtype=Article®ion=Footer"To other museum professionals, re-examining the lives of past artists from a 21st-century perspective is risky, because it could lead to the boycott of great art. “The person, I can totally abhor and loathe, but the work is the work,” said Vicente Todolí, who was Tate Modern’s director when it staged a major Gauguin exhibition in 2010, and is now the artistic director of the Pirelli HangarBicocca art foundation in Milan. “Once an artist creates something, it doesn’t belong to the artist anymore: It belongs to the world,” he said. Otherwise, he cautioned, we would stop reading the anti-Semitic author Louis-Ferdinand Céline, or shun Cervantes and Shakespeare if we found something unsavory about them. Yet Ashley Remer, a New Zealand-based American curator who in 2009 founded girlmuseum.org, an online museum focused on the representation of young girls in history and culture, insisted that in Gauguin’s case the man’s actions were so egregious that they overshadowed the work." Bad news for artists who want their work to live on after they are gone (why?). They could see (not really because they are dead) their work dismissed because of changing ethics. Or not.

I'm Donostia-San Sebastian the food capital of Spain, perhaps only second to Paris in all of Europe.
