I tried without success to write a piece titled "Build Your Houses With Their Backs To the Sea," but it stalled out soon after the opening scene. I'm recycling that title for this new story.
It's a good title.
I had some strange dream this morning about meeting Tom Waits at Neil's place in Woodstock. I gave Tom Waits a pretty silver revolver as a gift.
Maybe like me you woke up at 3am and read this story in The Guardian about Waits suing some guy named Bartabas in France for using his music. It's funny how much personality is in Waits' statements about the lawsuit: "These songs were not found like driftwood on the beach: they came from good families." I couldn't find out any information about Bartabas' political and religious positions that Waits apparently objects to.

I'm glad: it's a great line.

Seems like a reasonable thing to give Tom Waits.
Quite certainly the worst day for the Republican Party since 1974 and Watergate. It couldn't have happened to a more deserving bunch of mooks.
I have my fingers crossed. I want these people out of power and Trump nowhere near the White House even on visiting days.

Did Tom like his gift? He seems like someone who would be gracious.
