Spock’s x Five in a Deliberative
Well the coffee pot wakes at five am
But I never wake till half past ten
Been walking around
but I’m not checked in
I’m still wondering when the day begins
Oh the mockingbird sings all night long
But I’ve never quite figured out her song
Well the tune is varied
and it’s clear and strong
Can’t help but notice it goes on and on
Well I’ve been happy and I’ve been blue
There’s highs and lows in every hue
Oh I’ve been to the circus
and been to the zoo
Never knew I was crazy till I met you
Don’t know much about heaven as well
I’ve seen trouble and I’ve raised hell
But wherever I go
I’m gonna rebel
Don’t wake me too soon or ring that bell
If the coffee pot wakes at five am
and we ain’t woke up till half past ten
We’re all walking around
and we’re not checked in
What the hell’s going on and where have we been?

I broke C-1 in two places but fortunately for me had no displacement.
I would never let a back cracker adjust my neck or even come within 2-feet of my C-1 after that :)
I never held much truck with Chiros
I did go to one guy who did trigger points
I did not require an alignment I told him
His therapy routine worked
I have proved to myself that stress in the neck can take blood pressure way up
As much as 40 points
And ya know I am a tool making and tool using animal

Thank you, Judge Gleason.
https://www.cnn.com/2019/03/30/politics/trump-offshore-drilling-arctic/index.html
Gleason ruled Friday that the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act only allows a president to withdraw lands from consideration by the Interior Department for leasing -- not to revoke a prior withdrawal. She ruled Congress is the only institution that can reverse a president's decision with regard to this matter, saying Trump's executive order "is unlawful, as it exceeded the President's authority."

When we see someone on TV we instantly make an automatic assessment of their character and abilities. Studies show we begin to reach our conclusions about them within 167 milliseconds – that’s faster than it takes to blink an eye. Speed was important to our survival in the Stone Age and it’s useful even now on occasion. Whether you confront a stranger in a dark alley or a leopard in the jungle, you need to be able to make a quick assessment. But in politics voters never need to make a fast assessment. We have time to reflect. But often we just go with our gut response.

Congrats on the journey.
Did you happen to run into norwegian? One in a billion, I know.
A creek runs thru Placerville, as did a massive vein of paydirt.

Jesse Cook's/Juan Medrano's Hembra deserves two listens. That vid is a real nugget.

this morning i awoke to the sound of my own barely audible chuckle.
in the last few weeks i have been dreaming with good color and detail, and even marveled
at how the brain can paint the night sky with enough stars to be believable, even while zooming in to check.
i hadn't, until today, credited the sleeping brain with a knack for the sardonic, tender slight
that i have come to appreciate in my a*#ociates under pressure.
a few days ago, i watched some figure skating with my two female housemates. a few weeks before, it was a big dog show.
what these two undertakings have in common is an arena or ring which if things go really well, the commentators can announce with certitude the quality of ownership.
so this morning i had the underside view of an aerialist on a wire, the next up in an indoor competition, just composing himself in advance of the music
when right between his hands the slip fit joint* on his balance pole, as revealed by my x-ray vision, became dangerously close to separating.
it was a tense moment. in a calm voice he asked for a short delay ... mechanically, the situation was awkward. no progress ...
i started to leak a little empathy for his plight. then, without emotion the guy followed with "so i can own it." What???
so dry ... i puzzled. then it occurred to me that he
was referring to his performance in the venue. i giggled,
or one might say, i "emirthed" from the dream
~~~~
*ever picture a Wallenda approaching a border stop with a 30' trailer in tow? nope, slip fit! i'm almost sure of it ;)

Does the moniker "President Pete" "resonate" with you?
“Mayor Pete,” as he’s known, had to start early in order to build such a long resume so quickly. As a high school senior, he won a JFK Profiles in Courage essay contest. Ironically the subject of his essay was the competitor for the Democratic nod, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).
Rhodes Scholar. Holds a lieutenant's commission in the US Naval Reserve.
"Commander-In-Chief Pete" does not resonate, quite frankly. It f*#kin' SINGS!
PTPTP. "Pass The Presidency To Pete." Eh?
And it's just too damn bad he died last year or I'd be pushing the Mascara Snake for VP.

Painters ain't no different.
Calwa, CA., another combined name like Delhi (Delta-Highline Canal).
This is the combination form of California Winery Ass'n - CalWA - but spelt Calwa.
South Central Fresno, if you will, it's a happening place, like CV and Merced and...it's our brother Vern's hometown.
Go CW Eagles!
You can shorten Delhi, as well, to DH.
