The governor of California had a major crime meeting in Long Beach today with a whole bunch of mayors and a whole bunch of police chiefs.

Was it about what to do with that pesky DINO Villanueva?

No.

It?s because of the recall

He?s trying to show he?s doing something about the crime wave.

It was here because he?s less popular here than NoCal.

It have never in my life heard anybody be able to say so little using so many words.

You are way closer to this status than you think, and it?s not that bad, actually.

I?m sure that Governor Lepetomaine got ?harrumphs? out of everyone present.

got it, but we can all probably agree that Villanueva is a DINO, right?

Those Matlock reruns do tend to grow on a person.

I agree. My happiest days have been those where I wake up, DON'T have to work OR talk to anyone, and go do the crossword at a breakfast diner.

gardening is nice too... but not possible to do here at this time of the year due to the heat and goddamn mosquitos. keeping potted plants watered and alive is all I can manage.

I kinda hate TV, but I did get hooked on The Rockford Files one boring summer.

I'd turn my ringer off when it was on, like an old person. "GO AWAY I'M WATCHING MY PROGRAM"

Never seen a single episode of the series, nor have I played shuffleboard. I did ride my bike 15 miles on Saturday, because I did not have time to read farther.

I watch very little TV. And for not more than an hour or so at a time. No news whatsoever.

The Rockford Files was based loosely on this series of books, which are excellent.

Did McDonald get paid anything by Stephen J. Cannell?

Reading and evaluating the Travis McGee books seems like a dirty job.

EDIT: Wow. He wrote a LOT of novels from which screen versions/adaptations were made.

Not that I am aware.

My favorite remains The Girl in the Plain Brown Wrapper.

EDIT: Wow. He wrote a LOT of novels from which screen versions/adaptations were made.

Yet this was the only treatment of the Travis McGee character in cinema Based on the novel The Empty Copper Sea.

Sam Elliot wouldn't have been my 57th choice for the role of Travis.

The movie is now just named ?Travis McGee.?

Who would you have chosen for the role?

I think I would go with the guy who played Brett Maverick in that old late 50s black and white TV series.

I forget the guy?s name.

Well, he claims he?s a life long Democrat and always will be?but he?s not happy with the strengthening ?woke? progressive wing of the party, especially in LA County.

The Democratic machine supposedly got him elected Sheriff, I don?t know how many of those who were part of the machine that got him elected are still in power.

There are reports that the county Democrats feel betrayed by him.

EDIT: I just realized he?s kinda like Bill Maher that way - a devoted Dem not crazy about woke progressivism.

Tinsel, Fox Business has been yammering all day about Tamale-wood and how a lot of Hollywood productions are moving to New Mexico. I hope Elder wins and turns CA around, it's sad what the demo turds have done to your state.
