As Goes Dolly Parton...

As I write these words, a rare heat wave has settled in along the coast of California. It's 99 degrees here. Inland, it's even worse -- way over 100 degrees. There is no discernible breeze.

The news cycle churns political rhetoric and oppressively bad news about the pandemic. Overall, it feels as if there is no relief from any of this.

But way down in my news summary cue today is a quote from the wonderful Dolly Parton. She's not only a brilliant songwriter and performer but a person who comes out with homespun pearls of wisdom known as Dollyisms, such as this classic:

"I'm not offended by all the dumb blond jokes because I know I'm not dumb, and I also know I am not blond."

We need people like her in public service. These humorless, ambitious narcissists who seem to predominate our politics leave all of us without laughter, only depressed silence.

After all, there must be something funny about all of this, though I admit to having trouble locating it.

Maybe our news summaries will bring some comic relief:

* More than 80 million people are under excessive heat alerts this weekend with record temperatures possible in over 10 states.Excessive heat warnings are in effect for California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah and Texas. Heat advisories are in place for some surrounding states, including Louisiana, Oklahoma and Arkansas. (New York Times)

(Washington Post) [I've said it before; if you don't want to lose your loved ones, get them out of nursing homes! -- DW]

* TRUMP HAD NO RESPONSE WHEN ASKED IF HE REGRETS ALL HIS LIES HuffPost senior White House correspondent S.V. Dáte asked the president a question Thursday that he's long wanted to raise: “Do you regret at all the lying you’ve done to the American people? All the dishonesties?” “That who has done?” Trump replied. “You have done,” said Dáte. Trump paused, then moved on to the next question. According to a running fact-check database by The Washington Post, Trump has made more than 20,000 false or misleading claims since taking office. [HuffPost]

* A new survey from Wakefield Research (a market research company) on behalf of Maven (a virtual women’s health clinic), reports that more than 60 percent of 1,000 parents surveyed said they do not have a clear plan of how they’re handing child care this fall.

* BIDEN CALLS FOR NATIONWIDE MASK MANDATE Joe Biden called for a nationwide mask mandate and urged all Americans to wear masks for at least the next three months as the coronavirus pandemic continues to take lives. “Every single American should be wearing a mask when they’re outside for the next three months, at a minimum,” the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee told reporters in Wilmington, Delaware. “This is not about Democrats, Republicans or independents. It’s about saving Americans’ lives,” he said. “Let’s institute a mask mandate, nationwide, starting immediately, and we will save lives.” [HuffPost]

* State and Local Budget Pain Looms Over Economy’s Future  -- Providing more aid to struggling governments has become one of the biggest issues tangling up the debate over another pandemic rescue package. (New York Times)

* In an interview with Billboard, Dolly Parton has voiced her indisputable support for Black Lives Matter as well as the importance of changing with the times.“I understand people having to make themselves known and felt and seen,” the 74-year-old Parton said, referring to the latest wave of racial justice protests sweeping the United States. “And of course Black lives matter. Do we think our little white asses are the only ones that matter? No!” 

‌* Uber and Lyft are threatening to temporarily close down in California. Here’s why, and what it says about fierce fights over the gig economy. [CalMatters]

Well, so much for the idea of possible frivolity. Nothing remotely funny in there.

The only sparkle is the Dolly Parton piece. It always amuses me when uninformed friends dismiss country music as unsophisticated "hillbilly" music.

In fact, there is a highly progressive streak of country music that embraces all people and celebrates the human spirit. Its practitioners have long been long-haired "hippies" and who employ irony and self-deprecating humor ("I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee.") 

There are plenty of lyrical stories of love, loss,, drinking, redemption and plenty of strong women standing up for what they believe in.

 Nobody does heart-breaking songs better, not even the Blues. And when there's nothing to laugh about, it feels good to cry.

Here With Me

Now the election season is on us, I'll try to sort through the noise, which is substantial, to locate any signal that seems useful. A dark foreboding cloud hangs over the 2020 Presidential election.

Certain principles are clear. Given the substantial risk of Covid-19, all parties of good will should unite to support voting by mail. There has never been any evidence of systematic fraud in the many vote-by-mail initiatives in multiple states, nor is there any measurable party bias (Republican or Democratic) among those of us who vote that way.

This is purely a safety issue.

As someone a bit on the older side, recovering from pneumonia and therefore with lungs vulnerable to respiratory infection, there is no way I would go to a public polling station this November. Nor would I appreciate any person I might come into contact who voted that way.

In fact, the only safe method we have is voting by mail; it's the method I've used for years. It gives me all the time I need to research the various ballot initiatives that I'm less familiar with.

So let's dispense with those who attempt to politicize the voting process and recognize that this is an option whose time has come.

The San Francisco Bay Area has a candidate on the national ticket for  the first time in a long time. Kamala Harris is well-known to us here; she emerged into public view when she defeated Terence "Kayo" Hallinan, the incumbent D.A. in 2003.

I knew Kayo well; he was a colorful, no-holds-barred character out of the Old West, whose nickname stemmed from a boxing career and his propensity to get into fights even when in office.

By contrast, Harris, born in Oakland, raised in Berkeley, has a background that rings many familiar bells for us in these parts. She eventually was adopted by San Francisco's social set, which trust me, is hardly the "hard political left" Trump rails against.

That she is one of the most ambitious mainstream politicians to come from this area is undeniable. She already is part of the elite group of women from San Francisco who hold political influence at a scale no other city nationally can match. Nancy Pelosi, Dianne Feinstein, Kamala Harris -- the Speaker of the House and the two Senators from the most populous state -- that is a female triumvirate no previous city has ever boasted in history.

As many have noted, California is actually a country, not a state. It is under marginal federal control; mainly this region does what it wants to do, regardless of federal direction.

I don't say that as an advocate, or an apologist; I say it as an observer. Within the nation of California, the nine-county Bay Area is the equivalent of a state. There are other huge states here -- Los Angeles Basin, San Diego, the Central Valley -- plus many other cities with spheres of influence: Sacramento, Fresno, Stockton, Bakersfield, San Jose, Santa Cruz, and on and on.

This is a very powerful nation.

Spending the past week in the metropolis of San Francisco had a profound emotional impact on me in both positive and negative ways. So many things happened there for me -- jobs, relationships, huge stories, historic events -- not to mention that all six of my children are native San Franciscans. I wouldn't be able to get over San Francisco even if I wanted to, and I don't.

The way the rest of the country and much of the media views San Francisco is a stereotype without merit. This is not a flighty, trivial city of airheads, this is a tough political minefield that sends strong, battle-tested warriors to the nation's capital.

Let me just put it bluntly. If there is a Vice-Presidential debate, I would not want to be Mike Pence. Harris will slice him to pieces.

On to the news headlines moving this overnight.

* Trump says he’s blocking postal funds because Democrats want to expand mail-in voting -- The president made explicit the reason he declined to approve $25 billion in emergency funding for the Postal Service. (Washington Post)

* Trump Encourages Racist Conspiracy Theory About Kamala Harris  -- Trump said he heard that Ms. Harris, the presumptive Democratic vice-presidential nominee born in California, was not eligible for the ticket, repeating a theory that is rampant among his followers. Constitutional scholars quickly called his words false and irresponsible. (New York Times)

* Rushing reopening could have devastating consequences, Dr. Fauci says. (CNN)

* How Trump’s Push to Reopen Schools Backfired -- Distrust of the president and his motives hardened the conviction of some educators that teaching in person was unsafe, helping drive union opposition. (New York Times)

* Thanks to coronavirus and Zoom, we’re looking at the end stages of college as a commodity (Washington Post)

* Never mind meddling by Russia, China or Iran. The most dangerous threat to the integrity of November's election is coming from the man sworn to protect it, the President of the United States.Trailing badly in the polls, overtaken by the worst health crisis in 100 years and deprived of the cruising economy he had hoped to ride to a second term, President Donald Trump is actively trying to discredit an election that could see him turned out of office -- or is at least preparing the groundwork for a bitter legal battle that could drag on for weeks in the event of a close result. (CNN)

* Trump and first lady request mail-in ballots (CNN) [This is what would be known by two words -- irony and hypocrisy -- DW]

In case a casual reader thinks I obsess over politics, that couldn't be further from the truth. Yesterday, for example, I spent at the beach, watching my grandchildren play in the water and enjoying the sun. Politics was absent from my mind or stomach, which focused more on In 'n Out Burger (lunch) and It's It (snack).

Meanwhile, when I'm inside I eschew political documentaries and the like in favor of romantic comedies bereft of political meaning. In my entertainment choices, love is the only theme that matters.

Here With Me

Oh I am what I am 
I'll do what I want 
But I can't hide
And I won't go
I won't sleep
And I can't breathe
Until you're resting here with me
And I won't leave
And I can't hide
I cannot be until you're resting here 

And I won't go
And I won't sleep
And I can't breathe
Until you're resting here with me
And I won't leave…

Then and Now

Our top story is from FiveThirtyEight:

 * Joe Biden currently has a robust lead in polls. If the election were held today, he might even win in a landslide, carrying not only traditional swing states such as Florida and Pennsylvania but potentially adding new states such as Georgia and Texas to the Democratic coalition.

But the election is not being held today. While the polls have been stable so far this year, it’s still only August. The debates and the conventions have yet to occur. Biden only named his running mate yesterday. And the campaign is being conducted amidst a pandemic the likes of which the United States has not seen in more than 100 years, which is also causing an unprecedented and volatile economy.

Nor has it been that uncommon, historically, for polls to shift fairly radically from mid-August until Election Day. Furthermore, there are some reasons to think the election will tighten, and President Trump is likely to have an advantage in a close election because of the Electoral College.

That, in a nutshell, is why the FiveThirtyEight presidential election forecast, which we launched today, still has Trump with a 29 percent chance of winning the Electoral College, despite his current deficit in the polls. This is considerably higher than some other forecasts, which put Trump’s chances at around 10 percent. Biden’s chances are 71 percent in the FiveThirtyEight forecast, conversely.

* Black women express an overwhelming level of joy over the pick -- Joe Biden’s choice of Kamala Harris generated powerful emotions even for many who were skeptical about Kamala Harris’s presidential run. (Washington Post)

* Harris wants to give Americans $2,000 a month during pandemic -- On taxes, health care and climate policy, Kamala Harris, Joe Biden’s pick for vice president, has staked out more-liberal positions.(Washington Post)

* HERE'S WHAT HAPPENS TO HARRIS' SENATE SEAT IF SHE BECOMES VP With Kamala Harris back on the campaign trail as Joe Biden’s running mate, California may well have an empty Senate seat to fill come November. If Biden and Harris win the election in November, California Gov. Gavin Newsom will choose someone to fill Harris’ seat in the Senate. Unless the Democratic governor opts to call a special election next year, whoever he picks will serve out the rest of Harris’ term until January 2023. Already, Newsom is facing pressure to appoint a historic candidate. Harris is only the second Black woman to ever serve in the U.S. Senate. [HuffPost]

* Google, Facebook and Others Broaden Group to Secure U.S. Election -- More tech companies met with government agencies on Wednesday to fight disinformation on social media. (New York Times)

* U.S. reports highest number of virus deaths in one day since mid-May -- President Trump continued to press for schools to bring children into classrooms, for businesses to open and for athletes to fill stadiums. (Washington Post)

* TRUMP HAS ALMOST ELIMINATED INTELLIGENCE BRIEFINGS FROM HIS SCHEDULE Trump’s interest in taking intelligence briefings has been declining steadily since his first months in office and has dropped to near zero in recent weeks.  [HuffPost]

* San Francisco is the closest thing the West Coast has to an East Coast enclave packed full of political giants. That’s where Ms. Harris came up. [The Los Angeles Times]

* Thanks to coronavirus and Zoom, we’re looking at the end stages of college as a commodity (Washington Post)

* The pandemic will make movies and TV shows look like nothing we’ve seen before -- No crowd scenes. Few locations. Limited romance. Hollywood entertainment is about to get really strange. (Washington Post)

Yesterday, for the first time in memory, my three youngest children and I did a very simple thing -- we had lunch together. 

At least it used to be simple.

In this case, their schedules all meshed and since I was staying only ten minutes from where they are living, it became a possibility.

They drove over to me, stopping on 24th Street at Toast, a restaurant we used to frequent. It was a place where we often ran into people we knew over the course of many years. We'd usually go there for brunch.

This time, they picked up takeout and we ate in the backyard of my oldest son's house; he is of course their big brother. 

The three youngest are all in they twenties. Julia is 21, and awaiting word whether a rental unit will work out for her and her friends in New Jersey this fall. Their college classes begin August 24th at their campus in Maryland. She is a senior.

But no in-person classes are allowed.

Dylan is 24, and just starting classes for the final semester of the his senior year at S.F. State as a history major. He loves Russian history, he told me. He's working as an intern for a global anti-poverty non-profit.

Aidan is 26 next month, working as an EMT, but planning on taking more courses in pursuit ultimately of a nursing degree. He is very skilled at taking care of people (Prime example: me).

The kids talked about the pandemic, the election, the politicians they feel actually represent their generation (like AOC), and how few of their friends really know what they want to do as "careers." They noted that the idea of a single career seems outmoded, and virtually irrelevant from their perspective.

"I feel like the jobs we want to do don't exist yet," said Dylan.

It's as if they, too, are suspended in time, waiting for their future to arrive.

Meanwhile, we all just cope.

Talking with these bright, well-educated, sensitive young people, who've turned out well despite their slacker Dad, helped clarify my own feelings and those expressed by my friends who are older.

We all seem to be in some sort of transition, to what or where we don't know. Maybe that's why our emotions, which have been bottled up for so long, can spill over at the slightest excuse.

I've always cried at movies, but this is becoming ridiculous, as I watch films for the hundredth time and see someone's dream come true, some couple's unlikely love come true.  Happy endings of all kinds somehow come true.

But that's Hollywood and that's what sells. Can there actually still be a silver lining to all of this for those of us stuck in the real world?

In my case, as one of the lucky ones who's survived serious illnesses and whose family members have taken him in, I nevertheless feel like a mismatched piece of old furniture, leftover from a bygone era.

I used to have matching pieces but they've been lost along the way. Now there's just me, old but sturdy, a specimen from former times.

The problem is I don't really fit in anywhere anymore. I'm a relic.

Being back in San Francisco was bound to stir up emotions such as these. I lived so much of my life there, accomplished so much and survived so many failures.

One of my granddaughters has a perfect expression for how I feel because the days she often has the same feeling, for different reasons. "I'm happy and sad at the same time."

By the end of yesterday, I'd actually seen all six of my children and all seven of my grandchildren in the same day, at three separate times.

Pretty good for a mere relic.

Lunch Together

 For the first time in 2020, my three youngest came by for lunch!

In Other News

Our daily news feeds may be dominated by two stories -- the coronavirus pandemic and the election campaign (Biden chose Harris as his VP) -- but there occasionally are unrelated developments of note. Here are a few of them today:

* A judge in California granted a preliminary injunction on requiring major ride-hailing companies Uber and Lyft to classify their drivers as employees, rather than as independent contractors — which would mean the companies have to provide them with additional benefits. In the ruling, the San Francisco judge accused the companies of a “prolonged and brazen refusal to comply with California law,” saying it was “high time that they face up to their responsibilities to their workers and to the public.” Uber and Lyft have been fighting the measure.

We won't be following up on most of those.

It is perfectly understandable that after you've had a stroke, everyone sort of stays alert for signs that you may begin to exhibit neurological decline.

As one who is committed to remaining accountable on this score, I have to report a suspicious incident that occurred Tuesday morning.

I was working in the baby's room in my son Peter's house when his contractor arrived with a building inspector.

"Is Peter around?" he asked me.

"I'm Peter's son," I answered sincerely

.

He chuckled.

It took me a while to correct the record.

I'll let you and my neurologist know if this keeps happening. The thing is, I can't remember who my neurologist is.

It may be the strangest season in the entire history of the national pastime, which started in the 1800s. Did you know that the first official game of baseball in the United States took place in June 1846 in Hoboken?

Hoboken is one of the few American cities that I was thrilled to visit for the first time, along with Key West, Honolulu, Boston, New Orleans, St. Louis, Charleston and Memphis.

Only two of those cities have baseball teams.

Out here, our favorite team, the Giants, are not a strong contender for the playoffs in this Covid-shortened season but their games are still fun to watch, for the pure love of it.

Last night, for example, the Giants trailed the Astros 6-2 late in the game when they started a furious comeback rally led by aging star Hunter Pence.

It's impossible not to like Pence, a lanky, awkward, enthusiastic athlete who inspires his teammates by his all-out style of play. Last night he led the way with four RBIs as the Giants won in extra innings, 7-6.

Will it change anything in a big way in our lives? No. But it was a happy moment when we did not think about Covid-19 or the likely calamity that may occur on Nov. 3.

It was pure fun and we can all use more of that.

In America you'll get food to eat

Won't have to run through the jungle

And scuff up your feet

You'll just sing about Jesus and drink wine all day

It's great to be an American

Ain't no lions or tigers ain't no mamba snake

Just the sweet watermelon and the buckwheat cake

Everybody is as happy as a man can be

Climb aboard little wog sail away with me

Sail away sail away

We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay

Sail away-sail away

We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay

In America every man is free

To take care of his home and his family

You'll be as happy as a monkey in a monkey tree

You're all gonna be an American

Sail away sail away

We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay

Sail away-sail away

We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay

On Our Way

There being little major news today, I have an announcement. Having gotten through to my dental insurance customer service agent, I've successfully changed my chosen dental provider to the one who is actually my dentist.

There is, in fact, only one dental insurance company, a situation that used to be called a monopoly but now is called Medicare. Call it and you will inevitably be placed on hold.

"Due to the coronavirus pandemic, we are experiencing a much higher call volume than usual so your wait time may be..." That message plays over and over, punctuating a pleasantly bland music track. (They should try a new one, say "Drilling" by Minus the Bear.)

If you remain patient, however, or as in my case have nothing better to do, one of the dental insurance customer service agents will eventually come on the line. If she sounds familiar, she is. Our in-depth investigation determined that there are only two approved dental insurance customer service representatives, Aesha and Prisha, although they present as many different identities, including Jane, Lisa, Andy, Tom, Bobby, Mel and Jackie.

Thus the long wait times.

They are invariably polite and thank you repeatedly for the slightest thing like remembering your birthday or accurately answering the ubiquitous 'who do we have the pleasure of speaking with today?'

Ask not for whom the pleasure tolls. It tolls for you.

What they cannot do, however, is tell you how much you owe your dentist, because that depends on the code.

Your dental service provider knows the code, but I don't think your dentist knows. Simply call the billing department, where inevitably you will be placed on hold until...

Wait! This just in! Breaking News! South Dakota Gov. Kristi Sycophantia has offered Trump any mountain in the state he wants to have his face carved in except Mount Rushmore, which unfortunately if full. There is Mount Rushless, for example, the backside of Mount Rushmore.

It resembles two large globes with a crack down the middle. It has a stream emerging from its crack known as Fuga Anal.

It's been a while since I've posted anything about that memoir I was writing. That's because I stopped writing it.

It's remained suspended in time, like virtually everything else during this pandemic. Somehow it started to feel petty to review the past when the present is startling enough as it is.

Witnessing us all tie on our masks to venture out into the world has chastened me. Of course, we've always put on other masks before we go outside to start our days. We put on our makeup and our lipstick, tame our eyebrows, comb our unruly hair, trim our beards, choose our outfit, gauge the weather (light jacket, thick coat, raincoat?)

In my case, as I checked for my keys and got ready to open the front door, I always shrugged: "Whatever... This is as good as it's going to get."

But the masks we don these days are not so much to hide our insecurities or maximize our assets as to broadcast our fears -- especially our fears of sickness and of death. We are walking advertisements that immortality eludes.

As I watch the little children, including my grandchildren, dance among their friends, all masked, they seem at once abnormally natural and yet absurdly naked. No mask can hide the emotions children feel when they find each other, especially in the strange new reality.

But us adults? The mask is merely an appurtenance, albeit a concession to what we've long known is our essential powerlessness over the forces that control our fate. Nothing else changes; least of all our body language.

Only the most vulnerable among us seem not to be able to mask their emotions.

No, no memoir writing for me, not now. Not for now. I've hinted from time to time I need a new muse, but it's deeper than that. For now, I can't be the teller of my own story.

"Maybe," my daughter suggested, "you need someone to tell your story for you."

"You mean, 'as told to'?" I replied. "Only famous people do that."

Perhaps that's one reason only famous people's stories get told. And why most others remain masked from history.

Also, this, courtesy of Dan Noyes, one of my two co-founders of the Center for Investigative Reporting: "There are three sides to every story: your side, my side, and the truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each differently."
