My neighbors were part of Ringling Brothers in the 80s & 90s: Cowboy Mike Keever, and his wife Patti was an acrobat/dancer/showgirl. They were the coolest neighbors ever.

Probably not a popular opinion, but it bums me out a little. I have taken my kids to the traveling dirt circus every year. Not a big one like Ringling Brothers. You know- the one that goes from town to town, sets up the tent, the aerialists double as ticket takers, the elephant trainer is directing traffic, it’s…

Thank you! 🌷

Homeless kids/homelessness in general will be an issue in any major metropolitan area with a housing crisis, especially those in a temperate enough environment that homeless people aren’t likely to die in the cold. I’m not saying it isn’t an issue, but to pretend it’s a California issue simply because SF is the…

This is beautiful. Thank you.

How’s that affordable housing and homeless population crisis working out for you guys?

Yeah, June gloom is a thing. But July, August, September, October? DElightful. And it’s actually a fun 70ish today! Wouldn’t trade it for the world.

It’s interesting how if you live in Cali or NY you are not allowed to talk about why you like where you live. There will be a bunch of people from less desirable areas jumping down your throat for “looking down” on them. Yet, they are allowed to express their happiness with where they live, usually by directly…

I totally agree with this, and I am a Californian born and bred. While living across the globe, my identification was always ‘Californian.’ I feel a part of the nature, here: the land. I never walk on this land without thinking of and feeling the Native American presence that was once paramount. I am not Christian but…

Trying to establish someone’s guilt based on what their reactions to traumatic events is a fool’s errand. There is no standard way for a person to respond to accusations that they are responsible for the tragic death of their sister 20 years ago.

Male DNA was found inside her underwear, and it was tested and proven not to belong to any Ramsey family member. That’s some pretty strong evidence that it wasn’t Burke or John.

The male DNA found in her panties did not match any family member. So unless her sexual assault was unrelated to her murder, this seems unlikely.

Well, if he didn’t it would sure suck as a grown ass man to have people say on network TV that he murdered his sister. He was never convicted or even charged. I hope he gets a shitload of money.

That settles it then.

Stay strong. I hear you and agree with you. I do NOT agree with Trump and/or KellyAnne but I’ve NEVER heard her advocating, supporting or apologizing for “Nazi” principles. It IS important to distinguish. We can’t hold everyone/every person who supports some of Trump’s policies accountable for every one of his…

Yeah, I know. I really have to walk away sometimes.

Yes, I will defend any woman from having to be called demeaning names - like the litany you just spewed. With no regard as to her politics.

I did not say they were right. I said they felt they were correct. The same way as now, we feel that we are correct and they are wrong.

I do not think she was correct in calling out sexism. However, I am calling out a panel of only men challenging her. This has become a tiresome and common sight. All men challenging whether something is sexist. The same way all men have been deciding (and constricting) women’s reproductive rights.

You are correct on the history and I am not denying it. I am very aware of the actual history and can see a couple of parallels in the populist message (which Sanders also touted). In fact, I am trying to point it out. Can that happen again? Probably. Will it happen here? Most likely not.
