Did you chat with a friend in California over Christmas? Well, I did and learned a couple of things. It’s still lovely out there, especially the coastal highway. And it’s getting more expensive to drive, and heat and cool your home in the Golden State. Everything in the name of climate change, or protecting the earth, as they remind us. This is a good observation from John Sexton:
In short, having jacked up prices for electricity to the highest rates in the contiguous US, California is now going to force everyone to use even more electricity for basic home needs like cooking and heating. We’re all just living at the mercy of Gavin Newsom and his left-leaning regulators. Whatever they decide is best is what we all have to do. No wonder so many people are fleeing the state for other less expensive, less Democrat-controlled places like Texas and Florida.
Well, Gavin can explain all of that when he runs for president in 2028…or so we hear.
The bottom line is that the Democrats do not pay a price for their reckless disregard for common sense. First, there are not enough “red votes” to change things, though apparently, Trump flipped a few counties. Second, and worst of all, more and more simply move away from the state; we see some of that in Texas with California license plates on the freeways. Can’t blame them, but it does not help the state when more and more productive people pack up and leave.
To paraphrase Marie-Antoinette, let them save energy by washing their clothes at the closest creek, let the California sun dry it for them, and let that ocean breeze cool their homes. At least, the elites will feel like they are saving the planet from all of those conveniences to which we’ve grown accustomed. All in the name of saving the planet…or so they tell us.

We remember George Martin, the man behind The Beatles (1926-2016)
Martin was the perfect choice for a band like The Beatles. He encouraged experimentation in the studio. He listened to their ideas and then arranged them into songs like "Yesterday" and "A day in the life".
Martin died at age 90. He produced 13 LPs and 22 singles for The Beatles. He also produced some of Paul McCartney's solo albums in the 1980’s. All together, his name was on 700 records, from classical to jazz to pop.

Happy # 75 Victoria Principal
Victoria Principal was born in Japan on this day in 1950. As I understand, her father was stationed in Japan after World War II.
We got to know her as Pam Ewing in the "Dallas" series. She appeared in several movies and TV shows in the 1980's.
Then she and Andy Gibb recorded a few songs. Recently, she has written several books and runs a successful "health products" business.

We remember Phil Everly who died in 2014
We take a moment to remember Phil Everly of the legendary Everly Brothers who passed away in 2014..
The brothers' influence on rock and many of the groups or artists who followed them was tremendous.
The brothers' 2-part harmony was imitated by John Lennon and Paul McCartney in Liverpool and lots of other young rockers all over the world.
Rolling Stone wrote this of the brothers:
"The Everly Brothers are the most important vocal duo in rock. The enduring influence of their close, expressive harmonies is evident in the work of British Invasion bands like the Beatles and the Hollies, and of folk-oriented acts such as Simon and Garfunkel, not to mention countless solo artists, among them Dave Edmunds, Gram Parsons, Emmylou Harris, and Linda Ronstadt. "
RIP Phil Everly. Thank you for all of those great songs and harmonies.

1993: A great day for Buffalo Bills fans!
/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/56607623/290081.0.jpg)
1) very good fans;
2) Jack Kemp's old AFL team; and
3) losing 4 consecutive Super Bowls to New York, Minnesota and twice to Dallas in 1991-94. Nobody remembers the team that loses the Super Bowl but these Bills were a very good team.
On this day in 1993, the Bills treated their fans to the greatest comeback in NFL history.
They were down to Houston, 28-3, in an AFC wild card game. They won 41-38 in overtime.
I watched it and could not believe it. It was truly amazing!
The Bills were coached by Mark Levy.
