I just read an article from a local news source. Yeppers, folks could see the Northern Lights in the Bay Area last night. Maybe I'll go out searching for them tonight.
The last time I saw the Northern lights was (I think) here...

It's only 9:30 AM here and it already feels warm out. I see sunshine. Will I visit the pool with a book after Guitar Center? Inquiring minds want to know.
I had my usual egg, bacon and coffee breakfast this morning. Now I am...

Solar activity is high right now, and the Northern and Southern Lights can be seen in many areas of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
I read one comment from Arizona, saying they could see them tonight. Arizona is pretty...

Gas prices have fluctuated rather wildly over the past couple of years here in the San Francisco Bay Area. I think they dropped to a low of about $4.19/gallon a year or so ago at my "discount" gas station, but then rose to $5.69 a...

What an odd story. When I was in grade school, and even high school, we would sometimes let someone have "butts," or "back butts," in lunch line. I think some kids call them "cuts."
This fella felt someone had "cut him" in line,...

I think his mom told me had has been diagnosed with ADHD. I admit that I sometimes think that the ADHD diagnosis simply means "being a boy." But I do get it.
This young fella can be pretty "random" at times, but one he gets...

I don't like to b*tch and moan, but sometimes a fella just has to vent.
I wrote this song "for" someone I helped out a bunch. She pretended to be my "friend," but ultimately it turned out she was just exploiting me. It was NOT a...

I was able to capture my good friend Alee's attention yesterday by getting her to practice her scales with both hands, but a third apart. What the heck does that mean? If she plays a C-scale, C-D-E-F-G-A-B-C, with her left hand,...

I have a blob next to my bedroom radio. It may be a giant dust bunny. I am not sure. It hasn't moved in a long time. There is no wind here.
The radio is a KLH Model 21, from the mid to late 1960s, I think. I buy these things for...

Kitty is fed, and so am I. I am brewing up my second cup of coffee.
I have a couple of things to get done before I head off to Guitar Center for my longest (and funnest) day.
The sun is shining and the pavement is dry. My feet...

Stormy Daniels testified today in Donald Trump's first criminal (not civil) trial. He owes a bunch of money (from the civil trails), but this trial could land him in prison. Daniels's testimony was pretty riveting, according to...

She has been my guitar student since she was 12. She has learned her scales and chords well, and we've worked on a few songs together, including John Prine's Paradise. She can even do a jazz progression I taught her, and play the...

We played music at Mike's house for a long time. I introduced some new possible tunes for our band .
I made it home and was resolved to get a burrito AND to get some groceries. I did so.
I feel like a monster, but a tired...

The judge in Trump's current criminal trial has a difficult decision to make. Trump is not supposed to berate or threaten court staff, potential witnesses, or jurors. But he continues to do so.
He has been fined a few thousand...

I just walked into my kitchen, scratched me head, and wondered why I was there. My coffee water was already heating up, breakfast was done, and my egg and bacon burner had been turned off.
I ate some peanuts and returned to my...

I finished up my "Street Life" chapter today. I have three chapters to finish up, and then I am ready to find a publisher. This will be "edgier" than most developmental psychology books, as I worked in some pretty rough...

As you know, I am a busy man. In addition to being President of India, and LindaOH's presidential campaign co-chairman, I am founding father of OPWA (Old People With Attitude).
At first I thought OPWA would be an advocacy group,...

I had a good day at Guitar Center today. I even got my Saturday hug from Ava, and am helping her get started on Beethoven's Fur Elise.
When I got home, Kitty meowed a bunch, and sat by my KLH Model 21 radio. I complied and put...

I just stumbled upon this one as I was trolling YouTube. One time four dudes got out of a car as I was returning from a smoke break and said, "Hey, we got us a white one!" , but I was already near the entrance...

Last night was pretty normal. I slept well and didn't get any leg cramps (my nemesis). I got up at about three AM to chase off the raccoon that was trying to open Kitty's Meow Mix bag, and then went to bed and had good...
