  • My eyes don't lie

    And they tell me to go to bed.

    I woke up before 5 to go on a driving mission to the airport and back a couple hours away. Coming back home, I slept more, but now all I know is I just want to sleep more.

  • From monkey to dragon

    In her surrealistic and often dream-state style, Patty Smith reminds us in her book 'The Year of the Monkey' that the previous election of Trump took place during the year of the monkey.

    Reading her book in 2022, I thought that rather appropriate.

  • How the U.S. state of California began

    My prediction: Kamala Harris will become California's next governor after Gavin Newsom is termed out at the end of 2026. She can easily win and will have a far-reaching influence as one of the most powerful state governors and the leader of the world's fifth-largest economy.

    California, like all other states, has a flag of its own. It depicts a bear and the words "CALIFORNIA REPUBLIC." The bear was also familiar to many people who have lived in the western states as the symbol of the Bank of the West before it was acquired by BNP Paribas and subsequently, by the Bank of Montreal.
