My dear old California Liberal friend Skoge just sent me a joke: Did you hear that Trump wants to rename the San Andreas fault? It’s Joe Biden’s fault!
I replied back: The San Andreas fault moves northwest relative to the North American Plate at a rate of 20–35 mm per year, which is faster than Joe walks, so it's not a good idea...
I have a new job! Thanks to Shelby, I am now a pool monitor at the Purple Parrot Village in North Pensacola, FL.
The Purple Parrot Resort is a true gem in Perdido Key, offering unmatched amenities and a welcoming, laid-back vibe. It’s the only resort on the island featuring a lagoon-style outdoor pool, complete with a tropical waterfall and island hot tub, providing the ultimate space for relaxation. For cooler months, our indoor pool ensures that every season is perfect for a visit. Guests also enjoy the island’s only designated beach volleyball area, adding an extra touch of fun and community spirit to their stay.
Steps from the resort, you'll find the pristine Gulf Islands National Seashore, offering seven miles of untouched beaches and breathtaking views. Within the resort gates, the much-loved Purple Parrot Tiki Bar serves as a lively social hub, with live music, great food, and a friendly atmosphere that keeps guests coming back.
The job entails making sure that the folks enjoying the services are actually guests. Everyone has to wear a current purple wristband, or I will politely ask them to leave. It's nearby Dan and Shelby's place, and I'm ready to move into the small mobile home on their property as soon as I can.
I'm getting in shape, clean, sober and loving it, and I'm ready for a great Florida Summer.
I just haven't been satisfied with my Flickr photo conversion. I was missing more than a thousand photos and the albums were spread out to 732.
The total number of photos I have on the Flickr server is 13,401. My previous AI generated photo extraction wasn't perfect so I did a full Flickr download, which generated 27 zip files of ~500 items each.
Then I unpacked everything into 27 Albums, and Gemini and I created a Python program to iterate over each Album, and convert every photo into high quality .webp images.
A Gallery containing 27 albums is so much more manageable than 732.
Shelby is upset with me. She's throwing a Poker Party at the Gun Store tonight, I had a seat at the table, and I bailed on her.
It's totally due to weakness on my part, I just don't have the strength to be around drinking, smoking and cannabis mocktails, yet. I guess I don't trust myself, even though my commitment and drive are strong.
I'll be there eventually, but not now.

Drop into OMJShow first and set your slide interval. (2 seconds is good...)
Another great day, number 10, many walks on a beautiful day. Even walked to Publics for supplies, and the dollar store for protein drinks. And two solid badass workouts.
Shelby offered to drop Zinny and Poppy of for eight hours, but the girls couldn't have kept up with me. Speaking of Shelbs, she's here now packing up dishes in the kitchen since we have to be out of here in two weeks.
I honestly have no idea where I'm going to live. Assisted living is out of the question since I failed to get Medicaid, and I don't need assistance in living in the slightest. I can cook my own food, carry my own groceries home, and they couldn't keep up with me now anyway.
I'm trying to get a small trailer with Riley's help, and a place to park it. Being within shopping distance would be a big plus. We'll see what happens in two weeks, and in the meantime I'm going to be in the best shape I've been in a long time.
I'm entering day nine clean and sober. My liver pain is almost gone. I'm alone, and fine with it. Working out hard twice a day. Walking bare shirted around the hood three or four times a day, getting my tan ready for a Florida Summer.
I have my possessions trimmed down and packed up, ready to transition out of this townhouse. My mind is clear and I've been sleeping and dreaming great. I'll be 79 in a couple months, and fuck everyone of you who think I'm just a worthless old drunk!
I played around with another AI Image Generator today, called 123rf.
Here's Shelby's stock photo:
Here's the first pass:
Here's the enhanced version:
I've created Rotating Image shows for all three of my Galleries.

I've also made some major tweaks. After a Gallery or Album Rotate Show runs for 10 seconds it will drop down into the main program at the appropriate spot. A browser back function returns to the Blog, which puts a wrap to:

I was walking back from Publixs with three big bags of groceries when my text beeper went off. So I stopped in the shade and saw these two on my phone from Riley. Made my day!
Walked down to the Market and got my tamale fix on. It's a beautiful Saturday here in Pensacola and the place was jammed, so I sat on the curb and ate them in the street. Day six clean and sober, my liver's better and the walking does it good.
