Grateful Dead - 5/17/74 - Portland, OR - Truckin; then NFA then GDTRFB

I think my favorite Truckin' version. But I love the transition to NFA and then to GDTRFB.

Garcia - Weir - Lesh. One can argue who the best lead, rhythm. and bass guitarists were of this generation.....but there was no combo that sounded this good.

The quietest early evening I can remember.

Very strange. In spite of what looks like weather in my immediate vicinity (pic above).....absolute and complete quietness (a couple of crows just made their presence known).. No wind at all. No noise. No birds or squirrels in the feeder. Zippo.

I got a theory about this.

When the winds don't move at all. wildlife comes to a standstill.

This Tom Kean disappearance is really weird.

Missing 75 days. Now it appears his wife has disappeared too? Apparently, his primary job in Congress was using US intel to execute stock market trades.

Why hasn't Johnson or Trump or Blanche or Patel done a hi=profile search for a missing US House Representative? Something really fucked up with this guy's disappearance and apparent lack of concern by the Speaker of the House.. Johnson has a razor thin margin....why isn't Kean's whereabouts and welfare a concern?

Best military paraders.

Just watched some video of Russia's Victory Day parade from May 9th. They are really good paraders. But, honestly?, I think North Koreans are the best, followed by China...then Russia.

You know who I've never seen parade? Ukrainian soldiers. They'd fail miserably at that, I think.

Imagine, if you can....what if Kamala Harris had been elected POTUS.

* There would have been no stupid tariffs.
* We'd be leading NATO in support of Ukraine.
* There'd have never been an Iran War, because Epstein Files.
* No Trump Gestapo waging domestic war against American cities.
* Most likely we'd have renegotiated with Iran to put the Obama nuclear framework back in place.
* We would have a fantastic trade/cultural relationship with our Canadian friends, American trade requires 2 way communication.
* we need to stop the war against brown people. We need them to succeed in the 21st century.

When Trump retires, we are going after this Supreme Con Criminal.

We have to. If we want to reclaim the image we think we were.

On edit....every single dollar he has scam-stolen using his power as President. Every single transaction should be evidence of his criminal activities, again, in office. Only, he's doing grift now 1000X on steroids.

Ukraine is killing Russians with no shred of humanity. Why should they?

Drones are killing Russian occupiers at a 95% rate, 30K+/Russian casualties a month. And increasing. How many more Russian lives will Putin kill before he admits defeat?
