Lazy Afternoon is a Seurat afternoon with a lovely coloristic setting. Two alto flutes and a vibraphone set the shimmering mood.

This week in Sacramento Current.

This is the last episode before the big election June 5, I like to think of it as the season finale. But sorry, no long summer break , we’ll be back next week with vote results and God knows what all.

We’ve been super-focused on the City, obviously, perhaps too much to the exclusion of everything else. The County Board of Supervisors controls a much bigger budget (and has much deeper deficits to deal with). The board oversees, sort of, the Sheriff, and District Attorney. And the county is where most of the social services come from–like public health, and mental health. Well, they used to provide that.

This week we talked to Gary Blenner and Jeff Kravitz, both running for County Supervisor–in District 4 (Folsom, Antelope, Bumfuck) and District 3 (Arden Arcade, Fair Oaks, Carmichael).

They are progressive democrats running against entrenched republicans, in conservative districts. But they’re fun to talk to, and they’re running real campaigns, as best they can.

The biggest danger online isn’t porn or scams or cyber-bullying. It’s the web’s power to seduce you into bottomless nostalgia. All the music and literature and pop culture that made an impression on you, ever, is available to you whenever.

Want to relive the summer of your junior year? Coming right up. I just came across some mp3s of an Atlanta band called 86 that was a big favorite of my friends and mine in high school. I hadn’t heard it in more than 20 years, and I guess it sounds pretty 80s now. And it basically squares with my memory of myself as a pretty mopey kid. But I still like it. Now, if only I had some LSD. But no, I guess I do have work tomorrow…
