I thought he was supposed to be OUR President??. Read about it HERE
This piece from Bloomberg kind of got away from us;. It’s worth looking at.
Read it HERE
“CRACKS IN HIGHWAY”– I hope to God I never drive down a road and see a highway marker warning of upcoming cracks in the highway such as they’re experiencing on the Big Island. Of course, my heart goes out to those who live their because it’s their ancestral home but those subdivisions look to me like recent construction, funded by those who wanted cheap housing and decided to take their chances. WHO would want to live on a volcano? Not me. The feng shui must be horrible.
COLD CUTS? There’s a mortuary on Winding Way in FairOaks which is being converted to a restaurant. I wish them the best. I wonder what they’ll call it? The Cold Room? The Chiller? I’ll be following this one.
SEAMUS T BONES: I’m surprised to find myself posting a second good review of ST Bones, the kind of place I usually don’t like. We dropped in in mid-afternoon when the place was almost empty and the server at first gave us only the bar menu, which is extensive, but then we were told we could order anything. I stuck with the bar menu and had a beef slider which was excellent and a taco which was okay, plus an order of fried green beans which came with a nice chipotle mayo. ($5 for each) My friend got ziti with slices of prime rib ($16 I think. These guys never have their full menu online) and it was a rich gooey mess with lots of cheese. Definitely satisfying. I had crossed them off our list due to an unfortunate incident with a hair in some soup but everything was fine on our return visit. We’ll be back. BTW they’re pushing a new “dry-aged ” steaks treatment.
PASTA LUEGO- Have you checked out this place on the ground floor of Jacoby’s Storehouse? The sell FRESH pasta and the best sandwiches you ever had. Highly recommended. Try the bucatini! It’s a tubular pasta which some folks liken to eating a bunch of rubber hoses but I think it’s wonderful . http://www.cocopastaluego.com/
GIULIANI- WHY does the same expression occur to me every time I see him, as in “There’s no fool like an old fool”. He was NEVER “America’s mayor”. He was a godawful asshole as NYC’s mayor, racist and divisive just like now. He and Trump are busily destroying what is left of the Trump administration, the most corrupt and inept in history, which is good. The two dotards in action.
TRUMP/GATES: I hope you all got to see the clip they were running on CNNN this weekend of Bill Gates recounting his meetings with Our Fake President. Trump asked him TWICE what the difference was between HIV and HPV when left the meeting by car so that he could make a helicopter entrance. The man is sick.
GRUB HUB: I saw so many of those commercials I started wondering what I could order. Unfortunately the only restaurant that comes up currently on their website is Tandoori Bites which already has a delivery service. I’m not real big on Indian food but I do like shrimp curry and I just might try them. $35 minimum for delivery. http://www.tandooribitesindiancuisine.com/
THANK GOD HE’S GONE- Kevin McKenny is finally bailing from the Planning Commission to which he should have never been appointed. His appointment was almost as bad as that jackass who was running the PD’s department until recently. HOW can experienced Supes, with all the resources of the County behind them, make such poor appointments? Another indicator for my “two terms and out” approach.
GUNS- The logical first step toward better gun control is to make parents liable for the mayhem their unsupervised kids cause. Starting yesterday.
BATTLEBOTS is BACK, on Ch 31 (Discovery Channel on Suddenlink) and ot a minute too soon. AND the guilty pleasure show of all time, 90 Day Fiancee, is back on TLC. I’ll watch but they will never have a trainwreck couple as good as Mohammed and Danielle. Stay tuned.

The New York Times piece on our smack problem is a good one. Read it HERE.
Thanks for your patience. I’m not quite well but starting to get there. And SHORT RIBS are on sale at Safeway, $4.99!!! Had ’em last night. They were great!
OUR FAKE PRESIDENT- has continued his descent into infamy. His vile personality, his ignorance, his narcissism-what is there to say? Add his corruption and his utter disregard for the people he was elected to represent and you can understand why my house is a lot quieter than it used to be since I turn down the sound whenever I see his face. I can hardly wait till he resigns.
THE ELECTIONS- I have not been in touch with any of the candidates but I think it’s a darn shame than Mary Ann Lyons’s bid for 4th District Supervisor is apparently in disarray since she didn’t make the Time-Standard’s deadline for inclusion in their article. I remember her from the ’08 election and she was a crackerjack. Money will apparently talk in this race and Virginia will apparently get another term. Does she deserve it?? I’ve been preaching for months that NO ONE should get more than two terms at ANYTHING. If you can’t make an impact in eight years, GET OUT!! This also applies, of course, to the 5th District where Ryan Sundberg, a very nice guy, is about to be turned out by Steve Madrone. Re: the 4th, Dani Burkhart, who took on the thankless job of treasurer for the HCCDC, is also a good candidate. Too bad she and Lyons couldn’t have worked something out. Re: Jared Huffman’s bizarre endorsement of Ryan, I don’t know what to say. When Mike McGuire made that embarrassing endorsement of Rex Bohn we all put it down to poor staff work. Who do we blame this time?
MICHAEL AVENATTI- is a media star and good for him. He”s cute as a bug and sharp as a tack and gives me a reason to turn the sound back up.
FACEBOOK_ Are any of you still on Facebook??? For God’s sake, WHY??? Send your kitten photos by email and make your own “friends” list. Don’t give Shmuckerburg one more cent of your money!! And I’d hate to think any of you are depending on FB for your NEWS. Don’t do it!!!
EATING OUT is something I haven’t been doing lately but I wanted to say a respectful good–bye to Liu’s. When I worked at 3rd and D I ate lunch there once a week, always the broccoli beef They were a solid restaurant, and will be missed. I only ate at the Black Lightning once (hate motorcycles- only tried it because I love the Richard Thompson song ( ..and he gave her his Vincent to ride…” ) but their menu was all paninis- hard to srcew up- and they were out of their bean soup so I never got to try it. Curious to see what will go into that corner.
THE OKIE- Of all the horrible cabinet nominations made by Our Fake President the worst may be Scott Pruitt who is dismantling the EPA as fast as he can. No less than TEN investigations have begun into his crazy spending of YOUR MONEY. And Trump stands by and does nothing while cutting children’s heath insurance. The THEFTS continue. They are all acting like Okies set loose in a treasure hunt. What a spectacle!!
