Tony, you are down a judge in Anaheim.

http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/aug/11/california-judge-jeffrey-ferguson-shot-wife-texts

The fat old white republican shot his wife. They seized his whole arsenal. It is the typical small penis syndrome situation typical of many white men. It is a good thing they caught the guy. He will see a lot of familiar faces in prison.

Sad situation. And sad that they had a guy like that as a judge here.

Salute,

Tony V.

Two new cartoons.

Thanks, enjoyed catching up there with the last half dozen or so.  Assuming you are a craftsman who looks for any feedback that hones your skills, I will note one caricature that needs work - your Zuck.  I'm shit as a sketcher, but will guess that you can bring out his features with slightly more angle on the face and maybe more oilyness?  DK, but keep em coming.  Art, for me, was the Road Not Taken (wood sculpture)(I still find cutting and chiseling and planing wood very relaxing).

Katie Hobbs of Arizona looks like a good Governor, she was a social worker who helped abused women, and she is a Roman Catholic.

We can have nice little farming villages in Arizona where they can grow Winter Vegetables for New York, Chicago, Detroit, Cincinnati, etc. The United Farm Workers can work together with Katie Hobbs and with the farmers to grow wonderful Winter Vegetables for our cities. Everyone can win.

Salute,

Tony V.

My favorite city is Rome, Italy, it is my favorite place. So, that is what we need to copy here in Anaheim, we need fountains, and libraries, and book stores, etc. And Anaheim needs to build some film and television studios. And every neighborhood needs a coffee shop, etc.

Peace.

Salute,

Tony V.

Never forget

[Oilcan]

So Maui installed 80 alarm sirens on the island and none of them were activated.  There will be some investigating into this later, I expect.  I wonder if the high winds had already knocked out part of the grid, which prevented the alarm network from operating.  If so, they will hopefully look into autonomous power setups for each siren.

Reminded me of the Cloquet fire in northern Minnesota, which was also terribly fast due to high winds and also had many surviving by running into a body of water.  I expect running into a Minnesota lake in October presented rigors that the Pacific doesn't.

Really?  Thanks.  I just joined Elba five minutes ago, so that's really useful new information!

Damn straight.

The tiki boys are always looking for a way back into the light as they plan their next evils.

That is one of the rippiest coasts in the world and some damn powerful currents. Do not undersell the Big Blue for majesty or destructive potential. Not that a lake swim in Minnesota autumn sounds like a good time.

The Joshua trees are cooking off in the high desert. They tend to be spread out, so I read it as more of a tragedy than a danger to population centers at the moment.

The cost of generating electricity from the sun and wind is falling fast and in many areas is now cheaper than gas, oil or coal. Private investment is flooding into companies that are jockeying for advantage in emerging green industries.

To erase a people first erase their history

When their history includes their struggle to make America become the America it claims to be, then that erasure simply discredits the entire American history curriculum.  It makes me want to come up with a nasty Arkansas joke.

Ok, taking a shot.

What is the definition of an Arkansas virgin?

A girl who can outrun her brother and her father!

The Filipinos make up almost one third of the people in Hawaii.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filipinos_in_Hawaii

There was a crazy Guy who burned Rome so he could rebuild it, Nero, then he blamed the Christians for the fire.

It is sad that Hawaii burned and that some people died, but now is a chance to rebuild the area that burned in Hawaii. They can rebuild Hawaii while using their wildest imaginations. They can spare no expense, and they can build a tourist's paradise in Hawaii.

Salute,

Tony V.
