I have pretty much the same routine every morning, though the order may vary slightly. First, I stumble into the kitchen and get my coffee water going. Then I pour ground coffee into the filter. Then I get my computer up and...

TheHorse I'm sending healing thoughts your way. I do not do "cause and effect" prayer. I'm glad she feeling good.

I have seen some anti-Asian hatred for years...no, decades...in the San Francisco Bay Area. But most of those I've seen (or read about) have been perpetrated by another, perhaps "rival," ethnic community. I have many Asian...

TheHorse Yeah, but not everyone is "mentally healthy." I hated the anti-Asian hatred and violence I saw when I worked in Oakland.

I broke down and had sushi for afternoon snack and dinner yesterday. It was good, as always. I'm not sure what I'm having today. I'm out of almost everything, so I think I'll hit Safeway in a few minutes, and then I'll hit the...

TheHorse It was fun. But today's kids were all Spanish speaking. Astik and Aditi talked to me through the fence, but they didn't come in to the pool. I got some laps in and also had some fun.

TheHorse Me too. As a Ph.D. psychologist, I always assume that the "perp" has issues that aren't really related to the "ethnicity" of their chosen victim(s).

TheHorse @JamesHxstatic Ms. Horse chatted with his back up guitar player after a concert here in 2001 or so. I have never spoken with him, though I'd love to talk Iowa with him.

TheHorse I wish you lived in the Bay Area. I am teaching guitar at Guitar Center now. I would teach you anything you want to know (assuming I know more than you--I'm just a self-taught hack) for Glenlivet only.

TheHorse I didn't like getting piddly little checks for staying at home. It was as humiliating as being on welfare (at least it felt that way). But I am glad that we have a non-idiot in the White House, and that we're moving in the right direction.

TheHorse I was able to get my bacon today for 40% less than a couple of weeks ago. But gas is still high here. I am glad that things are easing up a bit here (in California) and that I am getting more work than I was before.

I have tried to capture this beautiful bird with my phone camera. Today I finally could take a picture of it. Every morning this bird sings beautifully. Do you have this kind of bird in your place?

TheHorse I thought it might be a coastal city as well. I'm glad to say I haven't seen any anti-Asian (or anti-anyone) sentiment among most of those I've seen or talked to here.
