Man, it looks like it hurts to be him...


Donald Trump...
has cancelled the White House subscriptions
for the NY Times and The Washington Post...
Well--
to be honest the words, in these papers,
 probably had too many
syllables for him anyway---?
One of Trump's many sleazy lawyers---
claims Trump is immune to any form of 
prosecution for any crime just cuz he's President..?
nothing-could-be-done-trump-fifth-avenue-immunity-mazars-vance
Legally this argument is kinda-----
In what quite possibly is the only way to actually hurt 
Trump...
 his name is being pulled off more businesses
due to people refusing to use a facility with his fucking name on it...
like his two ice skating rinks in NYC---
donald-trump-central-park-ice-rinks-removes-branding
Way to go America--!

Of course he doesn't pay up---
He's a grifter....and always has been...

Joe cannot raise money from the unwashed masses...
Because--well--We don't want him...
He is the candidate of the DNC power brokers....
Biden is starting a Super Pac to raise money from the billionaires..
who love his--"I'll change nothing" philosophy---
 Biden claimed he'd never do a Super Pac---
That he was "a man of the people"...

It seems as if the combination of 
handsy priests and people wising up on religion...
means the Vatican is going broke...!
vatican-at-risk-of-default-due-to-plummeting-donations
Pretty soon it will be 
"give us your money or else.."

I've been besieged by my own thoughts lately,
feeling as if I need to rant at myself and the world..?
Perhaps it is the change of the seasons and
the head cold that comes with it...?
The death of the gardens..?
The state of our society...?
Soon tho this election shit will settle and I will know 
if i will retreat from the world--?
Perhaps that would be for the best..?
I thought that age would bring a quieting of the mind---
but fuck no--it is far worse than being a teenager...!
Tonight if i feel well enough--
We neighbors will gather together, eat and sit by the fire,
that always makes me feel better...
So who knows--?
Not me for sure--?

My cheap ($80.00) neck arrived from China...
When I say cheap I mean cheap compared to
Fender factory necks which now cost as much
as a whole guitar---?
I am totally pleased with this Chinese neck---
It's perfectly finished, the frets are
installed smoothly, and the fret edges 
are nicely clean..
You cannot see it in the photo's but there 
is actually a fair amount of curl in the maple!
The best thing so far is that the neck "heel" 
the segment of the neck that mounts the neck itself to the guitar
body, just slid right into the guitar's neck pocket..
This area normally requires much trimming and fiddling with,
so I got really lucky...?
So right now I am very happy...
just awaiting one more order to come in,
it's the rather unique, pick guard material and then
 I guess I can actually start putting 
this girl together...!

on pre-order..
I love these Renko books,
I've read them all...

ordered used...
A biography of Grigory Perelman,
As I've stated before I love biographies
of bizarre mathematicians and physicists...?
I have no idea why...?

This is hysterical---

I guess he's in charge of panicking---

life has many twists and turns....

There is simply too much Trumpian idiocracy to comment on now---
But I cannot overlook how Trump invited the parents
of a young British citizen to the White House for a meeting,
due to the fact that a connected, diplomatically immune, American staffer's wife,
killed their son by driving the wrong way on the highway
...while stationed in Britain..
The US subject with immunity was flown out of Britain to the US
so as not to face charges in Britain.
Trump, of course, provided zero results to the grieving parents on prosecution
of the diplomat involved...that of course would have been human...
but rather he attempted to get them into
a, reality TV "photo-op" with their sons killer for his own 
personal PR---
surely with the intent to lie that he had "negotiated" a settlement....?
The parents, shocked at the offer, refused of course....
Trump pretty near destroyed Harry Dunn's parents....
Parents-UK-crash-victim-seek-justice-White-House
we should now spit whenever Trump's name is mentioned....
it would, simply, 
 be fitting...
We should spit.....
Which would be a much more symbolic gesture
as compared to mere finger pointing...
 say when,discussing the fact that Trump is forcing the
G-7 to meet at one of his bedbug-motels---
The one that is losing money 
(of course)....
trump-doral-g-7-profiteering
So again------
spit.....
I guess we're gonna have to keep well hydrated...?
After apparently much, much spitting by
everybody, including Republicans---
he backed down on the G-7 at his Doral resort...
trump-g7-doral-resort?
A group of Trump supporters 
were planning
on an anti-impeachment rally in DC...
But the credit card they gave to the bus 
company to transport his supporters to the rally site,
 was, UH...
 declined..
(bravo for life's little ironies..)
so no buses showed up---
The supporters, of course, are blaming the deep "state"...
for fucking up their demonstration...
rather than their hillbilly credit rating...?

Toyota announced their sub-compact, first fully electric
vehicle at the Tokyo Motor Show....
I absolutely must have one of these---
Must--!

A guy named,
(surprisingly)
Christopher Robin...
builds 1:20 scale, perfect models of actual storefronts
in Tokyo...
Part of the weirdness is that...
Uh--Christopher is from Stockholm...?
Each model is accurate..down to garbage in the street,
air conditioners, rust, dirt etc.....
they really are a form of art....
See his work at the link below,
it's worth the trip...

When I was young a Fender Esquire guitar was 
simply an unobtainable item....this expensive guitar
was a teen pipe-dream for me...
I so wanted one...
and the strangest thing is now that
I am old--
fender esquire guitars are still 
expensively unobtainable for me...
What are the fucking odds on that--?
So I am building one---
I will be posting progress on the build...
I am currently in the process of applying ten coats of
black paint to the body---
and have ordered all the necessary parts..?


This was waaaaay funnier than 
I'd ever thought it would be...
