           Use your library. Introduce yourself. Say anything.

7)        Feature

              Sixty nine years ago, my father geared up for his 19th combat mission about the 
              carrier Bella Wood. I will forever have to imagine his thoughts and feelings. 

               He said there was no way to get through flak like that and he was right. His plane
              took repeated hits and was unable to return to the ship. 

               What happened has never been told. 

               Today I take a moment to honor, and to thank him for his sacrifice, and for his crazy
              choice to be the only midshipman who couldn't swim. 

                ...and ended up floating in shark infested waters on this day almost seven decades 
                ago.
              Battle of the Marianas youtube video

               Take a minute to enjoy the spinning of the planet in our warm hugging, bubble at this 
               markable point in the annual loop. Namaste



8)        Lit Minit : "Les Miserables," Victor Hugo.

1) Local News

            It is Flag Day today.

            If you don't feel like waving your flag today, may I suggest trying an 
          alternative country?

            Fucked up, flawed and problematic though it is, this is your chosen land. 
          And tired and struggling though you may be, this is still a beautiful life. The
          opportunities available in this country in this time are very hard to beat in
          the known universe. So show your colors, hug yourself, and then get the fuck
          back to work.

           In other local news, millions and millions of people are working their asses off
          in cooperative co-dependence to keep our little social experimental system 
          alive. Pat yourself on the back for doing your part. 

           ...and if you don't like your part, fucking change it! You will be dead very soon, and 
          there is a good chance that there is a closed wait list for heaven. Get to it. 

                                                 
    
2)  Other News

           Sleeping, apathetic, angry, ignorant people multiplying rapidly, women raped and 
           harassed to suicide, children convinced it is all over for them, suffering, sadness, 
           stupidity, and silly greed driving it all...

2a) Boycott List :  Monsanto, Cold Play, Foo Fighters, Linkin Park, Charlie Sheen


3)  Local Loco

           
           

4)       Calendar 

                  Hug a bee this week! Pollinators rock!

                 Thursdays in Westwood, always. 

   
                 Tuesday nights in Santa Monica.

                 Saturday mornings on the radio with Uncle Ruthie.

                 Oh, and if you weren't downtown at 5th and Spring last night, you missed The 
                 Downtown LA ArtWalk for the umpteenth time. 2nd Thursday in July is next. Are you 
                 feeling me, Gabby?

                  Always bad parking and good music at McCabes in Santa Monica.

                  And Mary Katherine's page, too, Alive And Picking for a more far-flung fling.


5)        Book List

Mr. Scruff is still waiting for his check, too. The close music is his song "Kalimba." We will share when there is something to share.
