I have driven through that town while on vacation. Ernst probably has been there a few times.

Yeah, Gilroy was just a short drive south of me when I lived in Silicon Valley - it's at the hot SE end of SiVal. This past weekend, even though the drive from my current Marin county digs is now too far to make, I was thinking how for folks in the South Bay contemplating going Sunday would be the best day to visit the festival, as it was 5 degrees cooler than Saturday, which had been really hot. That sucks to have such a thing happen, but that's life in the doomed dysfunctional (dis)United States of the 21st century, watching a society literally tear itself asunder in an orgy of kleptocapitalism and imperial violence, of which the 'random' mass shootings, opioid epidemic, killer cops and reality TV president are all symptoms. [I was gonna add "in slow-motion" to the tearing-apart bit, but thinking about it, the decline and fall of the Roman Empire took about as long as there have been white people in North America.]

Yes, that sounds about right. The Roman Empire didn't finally fall until the Turks took over Constantinople.

First smiley is for this post. The others are along for the ride.

I was referring specifically to the Western empire, in order to be as kind as possible to the current empire-in-decline under discussion.
