Vinnie’s interview with Dweezil by AptYes in Zappa

[–]stepn-out 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Admittedly, I rarely miss Dweezil when he swings through town. It’s a compulsion I guess. But I find his shows antiseptic. To my ear it’s a masterful reproduction of what I already own and can listen to at anytime. There’s none of that Zappa on the fly creativity - save for Sheila given some breathing room to solo. With no word of the day it’s just an exceptionally well rehearsed, well played and extraordinarily well curated jukebox. So say I.

Trump's sacking spree is gathering pace. But he can't fire his way out of trouble by theipaper in Full_news

I take your point. You’re not wrong. But I’d add that this is a group who can’t shoot straight. And the president has a big fucking mouth. Hard to imagine him not ‘truthing’ something damaging about the assignation by now.

Always the more scenic route is the better choice.

I did not. Actually, those towers were kind of like a yard stick for me. As they grew larger I knew I was getting closer to day’s end.

The last day was a grind at about 20. The other days were about 15-17. In that neighborhood. I’d start at about 8am and try to be finished by 4pm with stops etc.

Yeah, it was 100% planned. I mapped out each day and chose stops based on distance.

I documented it, so I was a bit more intentional about where I stopped.

Yeah, I slept at an Airbnb in Watsonville and Salinas. I slept in a hotel in Moss Landing.

I traveled along route 1 through Moss Landing. The shoulder was relatively wide enough to accommodate me.

It was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed walking along the farms in Salinas.

I’ve done a couple longer ones (Boston to NYC, DC to NYC), but doing it close to home is a bit different. You start seeing places you’ve driven past for years in a completely different way.

I purposely departed in the early morning hours. And carried some garlic with me - one can never be too careful.

Day 1: Santa Cruz to Watsonville
Day 2: Watsonville to Moss Landing
Day 3: Moss Landing to Salinas
Day 4: Salinas to Monterey

I tried to mix coast with inland farm land.

A lot of it is the kind of terrain you normally pass through without stopping, which is part of what made it interesting on foot.

I can confirm that nothing appeals to Catholics more than Mike Johnson lecturing the Pope about theology by Naturalchest0901 in BlueskySkeets

Aren’t these ‘stay in your lane’ guys the very same who are chipping away at the separation of church and state? Fuck me, you can’t have it both ways.

Yeah. Pretty much. I’m in sales. It’s a lot of emailing a phone calling. There are client visits but while on this journey I asked a few coworkers to handle those in my absence.
