fellow rioters

We are a few blocks away from the fed bldg. This is Cesar the low drama lama. We were both doing the same thing, making people smile in tough times. We lost track of them. I was talking to some environmental services workers. Over a month of constant pepper spray has contaminated the river. The fish aren't laying eggs. I hear they are working on a lawsuit against the DHS. ODOT is fining them as well.

"Antifa in the suburbs"

 Yesterday I saw a video on a friend's page of protesters marching by Laurelhurst park (where Olive and I met)it said "Antifa in the suburbs" it wasn't antifa or the suburbs. 

Antifa is like a boogyman phrase for the rightwing to exploit. Anything to distract from the president's mishandling of covid and his dozens of corrupt moves. 

So big civil rights march labeled as terrorists. Nobody died. A man decided to get them antiffas by throwing three impotent pipebombs but that didn't go over so well. 

On the same day a large group of unmasked religious people had a music event in a park downtown. 

Unlike the civil rights march they are actually going to kill some people. Death by superstitious arrogance. 

We are living in times of mass disinformation. I feel like the real stories would better come out had the digital age not killed off the small newspapers. 

Now everyone gets the story from basically McDonalds and Wallmart style news orgs. 

Giant unaccountable monsters.

Humpty Dumpty was a cannon owned by England.

Humpty Dumpty was a cannon owned by England. 

It's job was blowing holes in troops also owned by England. 

The Brits were into civil war WAY before it was cool (1642-49) Cavaliers (Royalists) VS Roundheads (Parliamentarians). 

Humpty sat on a wall protecting a fortified town.

 For a month it reigned iron on the Roundheads until they targeted Humpty's foundations with their own cannon. 

Humpty fell, and soon after so did the royalist town of Colchester.

 The cannon became an egg because of a psychedelic author from the 70's (1870's) Lewis Carrol in his sequal to Alice in Wonderland called "Through the looking glass."

 Damn Victorian hippies coming into our country (their country) turning our cannon into eggs. Harumph!

I did something I haven't done in a decade. Used a white towel.

I got out of the shower and forgot old #42 my towel. So I used the "Guest towel" that has been hanging here since our house stopped renting rooms.

All the guest stuff is still there waiting for them. We don't touch it, especially the white towels. This time I could.

I haven't had any reason to be a clown for a long time. From every day clownistry to not at all. I could never use white towels without staining them. I always had residual paint no matter how much I scrubbed. I assumed I would have permanently green eyelids for life.

To my surprise it only took a couple weeks to vanish.

That says a lot about the healthy makeup Olive gets us. It's mostly made of food.

In a way, this is the first vacation we ever had.

The longest we have ever gone without being "on."

It's kind of cool.

Media disinformation in Portland. Summer protest 2020

I feel kind of bad when friends from out of town are freaking out. 

"On the news we saw a map of your neighborhood on fire." 

and I say "Kinda, I been smoking weed all day. Sorry, I'll go inside."

Some of the news are selling drama, others an agenda but both are not giving people a fair shake.

This Pamplin map is Crrrrrrap.

Side effect of the Trump Troops:flaming awnings. Last night my boy and I were watching the democracy fights downtown. We watched until the last camera guy got hit. 

One thing we noticed. 

When the fed attack the people they shoot a lot of flaming projectiles. 

As soon as the camera looks behind we noticed awnings on fire. 

All those flaming rounds are randomly burning the city up. We were very impressed by the bravery of a lot of our Portland citizens who did everything they could to rebuke them. Interesting that all those "arsons" on the map match the parts of town where the cops have been firing flaming rounds at people for over a month.
