[Hopefully, after our Christmas gut busting binges, everyone today is eating more lightly, no matter that such professed dedications never last long.  In the meantime we must gird our loins for the Georgia vote, and then the darkness that the new regime promises to spread across the land in 2021.  gjr]

    Toes, the closest peak to the Rose Bowl is Mt. Wilson, home of the first 100″ telescope; he may have been anything ’cause I’ve never heard of him. Mt. Baldy, twice as tall, is actually named Mt. San Antonio- called ‘baldy’ because the summit is above timberline.
    Not sure if St. Anthony was a racist…
    Climbed it many times, including when snow capped; great little hike.

    Mt. Wilson. Yes, been there once. I once ran up the face of Mt. Lukings to the top of on firetrails many moons ago on a bet I could not do it without stopping. Its above Tujunga-La Crescenta-La Canada…good view of the ocean, all the San G Valley, San F Valkey, Downtown LA, San Pedro and all the out into the ocean to Catalina or some island sticking out on the horizon. I could do anything ‘once’, back then. Won the bet (dare), but unfortunatly, i took the bet after a afternoon workout and did notmakr it back down until well after sun set, roflmao. Scarey noises in the darkness. Young, stubborn, and dumb. All cause someone said “can’t”

    Oh, this just adds to my utter contempt for teachers union honchos. Must be nice.

    cli·ché-ish that 2020 was the worse of times and the best of times. I am so friggin grateful for it that panned out on the personal side for Biker Bill. What a blessing 2020 was, considering the lows that came early and the highs that came later that swept away the gloom. We are a blessed people. I got back that ‘attitude of gratitude’.

    THE WEEK IN PICTURES: HAPPY 2021 EDITION
    Well, 2o20 is finally behind us. You don’t need to be a soothsayer to predict that there will be plenty of controversy about social media, racism, and above all Donald Trump. The greatest achievement of Trump is that he is going to live rent-free inside the heads of liberals forever. He really is the End of History: all you’ll need to do from now until Judgment Day to trigger a liberal is just say, “Trump,” and sit back and watch the fun. Even better than the ghost of Joe McCarthy.

The Honorable Mayor found himself on the wrong side of history and is doing a course correction. Good luck sending in the social workers to quell the real violence, the real looting, the real arson, the real throwing of real projectiles, real commercial grade explosives, and real firebombs, and real windows on real retail businesses being smashed on a real nightly basis.

    “Runner up: Champion cheerleader Mimi Brooks, whose life was ruined and lost her spot at U of Tennessee after a years-old video of her saying the n-word (with a soft r) was leaked by a despicable worm named Jimmy Galligan. If you don’t want White teenagers to talk like Cardi B, maybe rap should be banned for White kids. I don’t listen to much rap anymore, so I wanted to see how widespread n-words are these days. I opened Spotify, clicked on United States Top 50 and literally it was the first word I heard (on “Rockstar,” not a terrible song).
    The Mimi Brooks story reminded me of something I saw a few weeks ago. Sasha Obama posted a TikTok video where she and some (White) friends are lip syncing a song called “Adderall” by 20-year old rapper Popp Hunna. The clip isn’t long enough to show the whole song, but did Sasha’s White pals also sing along to the seven instances of “n****z” in the song? Huh. I wonder if that video would get them all thrown out of U Mich. I don’t want censorship—I just want mercy for Mimi.

    ‘Democrats propose major change to House rules, eliminating family language for ‘gender-inclusive’ alternatives’
    [‘This is stupid. Signed, – A father, son, and brother’]
    The proposed changes would establish “gender-inclusive” language in the House rules by eliminating “gendered” language.
    “Instead of words like “father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, first cousin, nephew, niece, husband, wife, father-in-law, mother-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, stepfather, stepmother, stepson, stepdaughter, stepbrother, stepsister, half brother, half sister, grandson, or granddaughter,” the proposed rules say the House should use language like “parent, child, sibling, parent’s sibling, first cousin, sibling’s child, spouse, parent-in-law, child-in-law, sibling-in-law, stepparent, stepchild, stepsibling, half-sibling, or grandchild.”
    The proposed rules also demand the following changes:”

    IN THE HOUSE, STUPIDITY REIGNS
    When the House of Representatives opened its session today, the invocation was delivered by Democratic Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, who I take it has been ordained as a minister. This is his conclusion, in which he invokes “the monotheistic God Brahma,” if I am hearing it right. (I know it makes no sense, but that is not the point for now.) Cleaver concludes–I kid you not!–with “Amen and Awomen.”
