While wine-tasting today, I learned my wife of 32 years has never seen Star Trek Wrath of Kahn. Apparently she spent that time period at Rocky Horror Picture Show.

I had Detroit-style pizza in Redding,CA and it was pretty good! A lot’s changed since I left the area 10 yrs ago.

Local running clubs got to run around the field before the Sacramento River Cats game tonight.

And to think I’ve been hating data centers for free all this time.

Only joining group chats discussing acclaimed country music artist CW McCall.

On the heels (fluke?) of passage of the California Blue Whales Blue Skies Act, Congressmembers Carbajal and Huffman go bigger- nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A...

Nancy Mace 🤝 Riley Gaines Trans obsessed conservative women who placed 5th

This is an outrageous story. A farmer donated 87 acres to a small Texas city on the condition it be used as a public park. Years later, the farmer has passed away, the city sold the land to a developer, and now it will be the site of a 135,000 square foot data center www.404media.co/a-farmer-don...

JUST IN: Democrat Richard Pan is now in 2nd place in #CA06 congressional race, behind incumbent Kevin Kiley but ahead of Republican Michael Stansfield. Sacramento updated its count for 1st time, & Pan nets 2800 votes over Stansfield in this large batch of ballots. He's ahead of him 23% of 21%.

Saw Joe Jackson for the first time tonight in San Francisco- some new stuff, some old stuff- great show.

9/x Local Air Districts came out STRONG. Phil Fine at @airdistrict.bsky.social voiced concerns that “Changes remove allowances with serious consequences for AB 617” – the program protecting neighborhoods overburdened by pollution. “AB 617 communities deserve our collective support.”

Joined up with Laz near the Capitol and walked him to the entrance to the Causeway, and said goodbye. 4 or 5 days left to get to the ocean. #LazCon

Laz is on the scenic trip to Sacramento- not by the American River Parkway- that’s not straight enough. We’re taking the beautiful Folsom Blvd. #LazCon

I found this old on the side of road near Placerville. Anyone recognize him?

How it started, how it’s going (32 years later). With a lot of adventures in between.

Belated thank you’s to @metsuniverse.bsky.social , @jaywigley.bsky.social , and @smith6668.bsky.social for the cards from the Sunday @ngtcollectibles.bsky.social thread. I appreciate everyone that puts up cards to give away, and I’ll get back to offering some again this weekend!

Assembly and Senate Suspense hearings, Gov’s May Revise, and Detroit Tigers game all happening at same time.

Tonight is a minor league ball night with some friends from our run club here in Sacramento. At bat is Detroit Tigers legend Buddy Kennedy, who’s raking in AAA for the River Cats (SF Giants).

For my mental health, I might need to dial back on how many Detroit Tigers games I listen to for a little while.

Ultrarunner, mountain biker, triathlete

Sacramento A’s content- there are no bad seats, they’re cheap, and the A’s are in 1st place in the AL West. Locals should come to the games!

Finally got around to putting the 69 Topps Baseball in sheets- I’m at 560/664, missing mostly high numbers and of course some of the high number stars. #cardsky #Topps

Save the Bay Area Whales! liccardo.house.gov/media/press-...

@every-topps-card.bsky.social Gimme a pack.

When they program the robot to take selfies and autopost to social media while running, it’s going to put a lot of running influencers out of work!

I just got my copy of @jaywigley.bsky.social ‘s new book today. Looking forward to reading it this weekend!

Sid Krofft, co-creator of 'H.R. Pufnstuf,' 'Land of the Lost' and other fantastical children's shows, dies at 96

America's oil execs have pocketed $1.4 billion selling stock during the Iran war, the WSJ reports This cash windfall won’t go primarily toward yachts and private jets, but toward political campaigns and lobbying orgs dedicated to blocking climate policy and fueling authoritarianism

Are we not men? We are DEVO.

Tuesday night at the punk show- The Menzingers, with I Am The Avalanche opening. Fittingly, the first song was “America I Love You (But You’re Freaking Me Out).”

Started my Detroit Tigers game attendance in San Diego tonight, where they took the L. I haven’t seen a Tigers victory in person for 2 plus years now, but I have tix for at least 4 more games this year- 1 in SF, and 3 in Sac.

In a legislative hearing tonight, and a witness mentioned an ultramarathon race in passing during testimony, so I naturally spent part of the debate looking up the race, the route, and past results. I’m easily distracted.

It is too early in the work year for walking around in a suit in this heat.

Our air district recently took a support position on this bill and I’m looking forward to helping out.

Multitasked a fantasy baseball draft while drinking wine at an Oscars party. For Tigers I got Valdez, Torres, Dingler, Carpenter, and Vest. Most near the end of the draft. We’ll see how this goes.

AI-based astroturfing.

Joey Fatone of *NSYNC shows up for a halftime concert- Sacramento Kings vs Indiana Pacers.

Political chameleon Kevin Kiley is at it again. Remember: He voted for Trump's HR 1, which takes food & health care from millions of people in order to supercharge ICE's budget & pay for massive tax cuts for the wealthy & corporations. Don't be fooled, District 6. www.sacbee.com/news/califor...

Sunday night at the punk show- Frank Turner and the Sleeping Souls, Wheatland, CA, or as he said close to Sacramento or F’n Red Bluff. Appreciated the reference to Red Bluff, 100 miles away but I lived there for 17 years. Had 2 people give me props for my Homeless Gospel Choir shirt.

Me at the bike shop- I’m going to take a copy of this advertisement for a hydration mix. Also Me- They’re partnering with someone prominently featured in the Epstein Files?! Soon to be me- every time I have to drink it at events, I’ll be reminded of this.

Good job Sacramento!

Thanks to @metsuniverse.bsky.social for a nice looking 1962 from a recent @ngtcollectibles.bsky.social Sunday giveaway!

@eatemuppod.bsky.social Jordan- How long did you think about the idea of a Tigers reunion with former podcast namesake Nicholas Castellanos?

Loving Coal is back in vogue I guess. Buttons were my dad’s from his days as a strip mine regulator in the 80s and 90s. Side note- Oakland Athletics and California Angels were big then too.

I wanted to be at the intersection of Detroit Tigers, baseball cards, C.W.McCall fans, and air quality/climate change, but I’m following the wrong people I guess!

Rush, Neil Young, Lucero, The Hold Steady, Drive By Truckers.

Someone sat down next to me today at a public meeting to let me know they just saw me in a running documentary filmed in 2012. My fifteen seconds of fame that comes back every now and then.

Thanks to @jaywigley.bsky.social for the RAK of 3 cards towards my 1969 set. 522/660. Also to @ngtcollectibles.bsky.social for getting us all together on the Sunday giveaways.
