I love my neighborhood. Owls in stereo: one on each side of the house cooing in the courtship of fall. 2 young coyotes slink around. Sometimes they like to howl together, and sometimes one of them likes to go to the culvert and howl with a lot of reverb. It’s quite funny.

So shocked and devastated that my neighbor Dr. David “Spotacus” Benaron has suddenly passed away. We were parents at the same time and worked on creating a great play park. He was so helpful in every way. I loved meeting him on a walk and standing to talk for an hour or more. Bless you, David ❤️❤️💔
@spottacus.org passed away last night. I'm destroyed. I'm distraught. I can't breathe over the tears. I love you forever hun.

One good thing about today in Los Angeles is that the mainstream media was onsite *before* the police started rioting.
So many news crews saying "the crowd here in LA is totally peaceful" right before LAPD and LA Sheriff started shooting and trampling people

I heard there was a chilly plum
Left in the icebox; you were dumb
But you don't really care for blue fruit, do ya?
It went like this: I ate them each
I ate the pears, I ate the peach
It's a cold and it's a sweetened Hallelujah
