Odious



You're either on the bus or off the bus on this one.


Some images are just automatically iconic.


You get it or you don't.  There are a lot more of these images or contribute your own images here.

My friend C.C. sent these to me and the next things, too.  Here is the statement from the official U.C. Davis English Department Website.  I have to say that the workers at the factory don't have this kind of fortitude.

The faculty of the UC Davis English Department supports the Board of the Davis Faculty Association in calling for Chancellor Katehi’s immediate resignation and for “a policy that will end the practice of forcibly removing non-violent student, faculty, staff, and community protesters by police on the UC Davis campus.” Further, given the demonstrable threat posed by the University of California Police Department and other law enforcement agencies to the safety of students, faculty, staff, and community members on our campus and others in the UC system, we propose that such a policy include the disbanding of the UCPD and the institution of an ordinance against the presence of police forces on the UC Davis campus, unless their presence is specifically requested by a member of the campus community. This will initiate a genuinely collective effort to determine how best to ensure the health and safety of the campus community at UC Davis.  (source)

But something is in the air.   Here is what the last decade's people look like now.  They just don't get it.

  1. I think I'd like your friend C.C.

    I think you should photograph your Hillbilly Turkey Day. Why not? You like it when other people take photos of that sort of stuff.

    C'mon...

    Maybe you are having squirrel? Possum? I've heard some wonderful awful beautiful Hillbilly tales in the last 7 years. Aside from Knockemstiff even. From Real Life Hillbillies. Hey! Is that a show?


    I'm off too. Wish I was going where there wasn't snow though.

  3. L, Oh yes, I think you'd like him.

    R, No running beside the bus. It is too dangerous. Besides, that's off the bus.

    And to both of you, while I'm eating possum and grits, I'll think of you. Happy Thanksgiving.
