And I admit for a minute there I confused or fused Little Dragon of Sweden (“high”!!, “twice”) w Imagine Dragons who I first heard via Eric Lindley pka careful)
This has close to 3m hits on YouTube whereas Jesse Gonder despite being minor league player of the year and called the best natural BL from Oakland had only 220 mlb H:
That I would do that —the below has close to a BILLION hits – reveals me as the Al Schact of would be Lyor Cohens:
and and: and this is the music blogger or music guy with blog equivalent to protecting the plate with two strikes and managing a flare to opposite field but I met Eric Lindley in 2010 fall and Imagine Dragons’ first Interscope release was not until 2012 so it was Lucky Dragon that careful tried to hip me to. They who were in 2008 Whitney Biennial.
edit to add, on Sunday: apparently there was a lock-down at O’Dowd the day I was gonna go up there and interview Jesse Gonder’s grandson so its better than just as well that TMW said let’s go to the City SF to the two museums we like there. Meanwhile there’s something in the papers today about cutting sports from Oakland public schools.
His real name is Clarence. He was 5 foot eight or 5 to 9. Weighed 160 or 165. Played in 201 games. Only six more after this card was printed. One hundred fifty four as a catcher one in outfield and 46 as pinch hitter.
Lifetime average of .197 barely Hit his way wait
Edit to add: he died in 2016 just short of 79.
Three more tidbits one he was hit by a pitch in his first event or put her parents to he was featured in the famous baseball cards flipping training book and three he moved to Newport News Virginia and worked as a cook and a Chinese restaurant his wife’s family owned so he’s literally Cheff choo-choo
Edit to add: I bought the two local papers to see how they covered this. Here also is The New York Times online capture:
I thought they should have mentioned Ira and Georgie — or Garrett Morris and Chica Escuelas – but FLM of Thr yikes explained it thuslike
a seemingly routine pop-up to shallow left. Shortstop Amed Rosario called for the ball, but left fielder Dominic Smith, who began playing the outfield this summer, didn’t slow down and collided with Rosario, who dropped the ball as McCutchen scored. The error was charged to Smith, who had entered as part of a double switch in the 12th.
Brother Thelonius is from North Coast Brewing in Fort Bragg and I’m pretty certain they sponsored a tour by Helen Sung Whose cousin married a dear friend of mine and who’s reed player is my former client. Whereas Eddie Gale is teaching at San Jose State and I heard about him from a yoga student named Mimi Dye violin church lady, and tried to interview ince to be his manager, and is still at it on trumpet almost 50 years past his famous blue note issues
This CD features Elvin Jones on drums in 1969
Not sure why McCutcheon of the Giants shows up better than the excellent label of the beer of the Bemsha swing guy
This is kind of a curveball or really occur Hubble screwball but here is the Machala swing done by Esq you’re in Svensson of Sweden who I was just talking about today with three finish rocker dude’s who called themselves and their dicksSpeaking of which I met a guy named Sheldon K who claimed of work for Lockheed on the Hubble telescope
that’s not cubberley or music but I was recently talking about Lefty O’Douls the defunct nightclub — I guess that’s the hook, the defunctness. I checked out recently a book about the baseball player and namesake. joc pederson of paly and dodgers was compared to Lefty O’Doul.
I produced 150 rock and jazz concerts at Cubberley in the 1990s, and I’m working on another one, after 15 year hiatus, for this fall.
I also am the exact age where a lot of my friends attended Cubberley the school and Gunn the school.
I am picturing anything from re-opening a high school as is, to razing the entire place for 1,000 dense packed homes.
I like 32 acres of earth art ala Michael Heizer or Robert Smithson or Andy Goldsworthy.
Isn’t it pretty to think so (that’s a literary reference)?
Still not sure why we are spending $800,000 for these meetingns? wil there be snacks?
edit to add: if i was a little bit better at what I do best, i would post a photo i took in 2009 of the ernie banks monument at Wrigley field, playing on the word “cub”
Because my now-wife, Terry Acebo Davis, {aka TMW]}was an arts commissioner here, we got to know him well, and, subsequent to that, added nuance to our knowledge of his many murals here. For instance, in 2014, when I ran for City Council, Eric Hager, who I have known since 10th grade — he was an advertising director when I was editor in chief of the Gunn Oracle — and I posed trompe loyal-ish, as if he and I were in that garden with her (the subject, not my wife). I actually wrote to Alo, an ad rep for this paper, about creating some kind of genre-bending advertorial that would run on page 11 or cover three and be both a campaign ad and reader contest. I most certainly would have in the archive of this magic box both the photo I am recalling and the correspondence). So yes naturally I would know that the picture in today’s Post is a Greg Brown mural on Waverley Street in downtown Palo Alto,
on the north wall of the former Palo Alto Sport and Toy building (where Eric was manager for roughly 20 years). Greg, who endorsed my campaign in 2014 shortly before his death*, told me that the painting is based on a true event, or a story his aunt told of an encounter with nature in her garden.
Actually, it’s a detail of such. I don’t believe it has a title. Or I could put you in touch with Julie to confirm that point.

*Peter Drekmeier, who I met at Bay Area Action in 1992, suggested to me that fall that people might doubt my story of an endorsement of a recently deceased public figure, so I brought that claim to his widow who suggested I list the endorsement of “Greg and Julie Brown”.
Hey, I would pay you $100 to run this copy with the photo of Eric, me and Greg’s late aunt.

Tom Dubois kickoff of re-election campaign Palo Alto City Council, Hoover Park, introduced by colleague Karen Holman.
From The Merc Kelley just last month:
A subcommittee made up of Councilwoman Karen Holman and Councilmen Tom DuBois, Adrian Fine and Cory Wolbach in December said the ordinance should function primarily as an educational tool, but recommended on a 3-1 vote, with Wolbach opposed, that first-time violators receive a written warning, second-time violators receive a $100 fine and third-time violators receive a $150 fine — a rule that the council ultimately didn’t adopt. Those exempted from the new ordinance include include emergency and law enforcement vehicles, refrigeration trucks, cement mixers and armored vehicles.
Edit to add: Dubois moving forward on 147 point plan, yet not necessarily a progressive:
And: actually his platform reminds me of something I had posted about Harvey Milk:
Taylor,28, is a blond American Christian born in Reading, PA and said to shake it off. Farah, 24, sued for bias in Sweden after refusing to shake hands with a male Christian at a job interview in May 2016 near Uppsala.
Tell me more, tell me more, like did he have a Volvo?
Tell me more, tell me more, did she listen to Polvo?
Edit to add: in a completely unrelated matter, someone at the Palo Alto Farmers Market was telling me the one about the Swede with a 20-foot pole.
Look-see:
And and but not Anand: the New York Times who can fake a newsgasm like nobody’s business, just four pages later — and this the edition that features the phrase “sock it to me “ in the lead of the lead – Hannah Cheeb from Bangkok reporting claims that Muslim men in Malaysia can marry four wives, as young as 11. (Nickname Ayu).
