Happy, Indigenous Peoples Day with fireworks from 1181.

Back in the 1980’s San Diego had a famous chain of taquerias called Roberto’s that had direct competitors with names like Aliberto’s, Royberto’s, etc. Is that still a part of the #SanDiego food scene?

Younger generations seem to think resurrecting an old discussion or digging through history to upvote or repost an old bit of writing is a social offense. Well, I say: don’t threaten me with a good time. If I didn’t want the public to read something I could delete it.

When the Southern Oscillation
Eats the L.A. beach season,
That's El Niño!

When the Pacific gets hot
And the cyclones a lot,
That's El Niño!

When the trade winds go slack
And the warm pool sloshes back,
That's El Niño!

When the anchovies flee
Peru's '72-'73,
That's El Niño!

When Bermuda asks why,
Few hurricanes come by,
That's El Niño!

When winter storm waves land,
Eroding California beach sand,
That's El Niño!

When Disneyland's rainy,
Due to a nearby warm sea,
That's El Niño!

When Australia dries out,
Causing drop bears to pout,
That's El Niño!

And there is an app for that.

Earthquake! Felt a mild shake from the second floor and a little noise of this wood-framed building. My estimate was 4.0, #USGS first estimate was 4.0.

It was further away than my estimate, but then again it is probably on the fault that would be a minute's walk from here if it weren't for all the fencing and train tracks.

Serial mistranslation, is there anything it can't do?

- In the #Odyssey, #Nausicaa is a Phaeacian princess who, prompted by Athena, acts with courage and hospitality to the shipwrecked and naked Odysseus.

- In #Victorian England, Nausicaa is elevated to a chaste, compassionate, domestic, dutiful, modest, and nurturing paragon of virtues. Unlike the dangerous beauty of Helen of Troy, Nausicaa is seen as a reliable supporting character for some male protagonist.

- Bernard #Evslin’s "Gods, Demigods and Demons" (1975) leans into this, but must have fallen asleep at some point. Nausicaa is portrayed as an eccentric, free-spirited Phaeacian princess who rejects traditional suitors to live a life devoted to nature, music, and imagination. Nausicaa gets 3 pages. Zeus only 1.

- Hayao #Miyazaki's "Nausciäa of the Valley of the Wind" is a fearless, nature-communing warrior for peace and co-existence, in part because of Bernard Evslin work misleading Miyazaki into thinking Nausicaa was widely recognized and known for her love of nature.
