A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Alice Coltrane carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

Fauci said yesterday that the U.S. was "out of the pandemic phase", which is obviously a good thing but does not necessarily mean that we are completely out of the woods. With all these different mutations and sporadic outbreaks around the world (especially in places where the vaccines haven't made it, or where there's widespread resistance) we may never be completely free of CV-19.

I often use a Golden bird guide from 1960 that was my aunt's. Basically, you can shift almost every range 100 miles north to take into account the last sixty years of warming.

Is there a kind of bird that isn't a woodpecker that preys on carpenter bees? Asking on behalf of my garage.

Zinn The Mood:

Greetings Trouble and good Troublemakers.
Stopped with my son on the west side of Astoria Park by the pool upon hearing a woodpecker going at it. Up there overhead one was going at it for a bit. Thought it was kind of rare for these parts but I wouldn’t know. Pretty neat for us.

Returned from grocery shopping this morning feeling distinctly apocalyptic. Price gouging going on and shelves empty. Some things bought last week are up 25 fucking percent!
Read an interesting piece recently by someone from SE Asia where the country’s in a state of collapse, cautioning people that a collapsed state doesn’t look like a sci-fi movie but a more banal acceptance of more and more deprivation, suffering, institutional/infrastructure breakdowns and
inaccessibility as a new normal. As far as I can see there’s been abundant evidence of that all.
This is how revolutions start in earnest.

All my European friends for years were fond of saying that people are too soft and pampered to entertain seriously any thoughts of action, that is, until people are hungry.
We may be at the doorstep soon, folks.

Just about time to gather in solidarity to make some trouble about it, doncha think?

Personally , I couldn’t be happier if the empire flops dead. Enough carnage and pillage around the world, just so we can have cheap disposable toys stuffed into our attics and basements. It’ll be because we never stopped to think that so much that was being produced by cheap slave labor across the globe (often by children too).

There’s some comeuppance coming.

Thanks again.

A great article in Processed World many years ago described growing up in Los Alamos in the 50s. Everybody there was working on Manhattan Project and legacy projects, but all information was classified so no shop talk was allowed. It made for weird cocktail parties
