So we WILL be moving into 311 Thursday, THIS Thursday! Hooray! It's been 3 1/2 months since we began the renewal of the old girl, all 1700 sq. feet of her. The floors are done, the kitchen is nearly so, the back bathroom is complete now except for paint and one bedroom is ready as is the upstairs office. The cat, Furry, is ready too...she has been without us during the daytime this whole time too and is staying close lest we disappear again for a time longer or to a place further away.
She has been ill, throwing up, cat style, for the last couple of weeks as we get closer to having this house's contents across town...not in their familiar locations as she would like it. The BIG jobs left are the moving of our refrigerator, the breakfront, and our beds and some of our clothes. Paul, my brother-in-law, is coming over Thursday to give me a hand with the heavy things and whatever else we can cram into the back of the pickups. I have yet a lot of tools in the garage that will be moved afterwards as I don't need them right away and we will need some here to complete the tiling work here upstairs and down as well as other miscellany, new lights, removal of odd bookcases etc. though we may leave some for the new renters.
Ah life goes on.
We visited Dimitri's Lounge as has been our habit since they openned in January, great blues, good drinks and great people watching. Had us bouncing in our seats again and again, great musicians come in from all over the Bay area and Sacramento to play on Sunday evenings, such a great scene! We love Dimitri's! I sent Catfish Keith, (the travelling blues musician we met years ago) (1996 I think) in Scotland at the Fringe Festival in Edinburgh Dimitri's web site so he could schedule an appearance on his next California Tour. Hope he can make it! One fabulous show he does! http://www.catfishkeith.com/ is his web site, go listen and pick up some of his fab CD's! And by the way, here's some REAL Blues for you to study. Take care!

Tea Baggers and Hutarees
Jezz, don't we have enough problems without going to these extremes? The Tea Baggers are soooo out of it, tearing apart the poor woe-be-gone Republicans at every chance and fronting the good Moose Killer to do their pleading or is it bleating?
Gads, it would be funny if it wasn't so stupid. The baggers, themselves mostly dis-enfranchised Republicans or Libertarians gather here and there and create a mini-media stir at the time but what's the DIRECTION they are going? They say they don't want to be a 3rd Party in the US, they say they are anti-Big Government but most all of the organizations they seem to affiliate themselves with are run by the Big Corporations and/or all the rich eletes or ex-Bushies. It takes BIG money to front a political movement afterall and some direction even if it is all old hat crapola from the last Republican presidency. My neighbor is a bagger, listens to all the hot air that spews for from Rush and FoxNews that he can, he sounds off as though he has recorded their mad anthems and HAS to play them all back to me when he sees me.
It's boring, it's someone else's stuff and I don't give a damn, I have a rental to fix and move into and a house here to do up for it's new renters whomever they are.
Then these militia guys...they took up space on cnn.com this morning as they were busted by various organizations for plotting and conspiracy, 9 of 'em were handcuffed and led off to who knows where to suffer the consequences of their stupidities. They had a web page...http://hutaree.com (i know...what's a Hutaree? I'll get to that in a moment.) Go look at it...check out the advertisers and the links...bet those guys are next, wouldn't you? Guns, explosives, training, even a youtube video is posted! Good grief, hand the Feds the evidence for chissakes! AND, of course, they are a Religious Fundamental outfit, just chock full of pastors and PhDs, Lawyers and other genius types I imagine. Anyway, they had a PLAN, and the plan was severely compromised by the ATF and god knows what other police-type agencies as part of the plan was the killing of a cop and then the slaughter of the persons who came to that cop's funeral. Never mind...they are gone away to spend some time behind fine iron bars in a federal pen somewhere, yes they MAY play golf!
or Tennis. An inside job if ever there was one, the grand jury indictment sure has a bunch of first person inferences that prove that point. Yep, really bright revolutionaries there. Like the communist party in the US during the 50's...half the audiences in their assemblies were FBI agents. HALF. Who needs Al Qaeda when we have our own home grown crazies? Remember Oaklahoma City? Yeah. Oh...HUTAREE...supposedly translate from the???? to "Christian warrior." And in keeping with that name, the material it has posted online reflects an outlook of violent religious confrontation. The Hutaree believe that acts of violence can bring about the final judgment prophesied in the Christian Bible, oh brother. Here's a video on youtube...there are others as well. http://www.youtube.com/user/hutaree
