Rick's Rancho motel, Santa Maria

[pagesofkenna]

Palm Springs as seen in Trials of Apollo: Burning Maze because this is where I live and I spent too much time over-analyzing where Rick placed the characters!

to be clear, I'm being a bit overly literal with my reading. Palm Springs isn't a metropolis, so people in the surrounding area don't say they're 'from Palm Springs' the way people 30 minutes outside Seattle might say they're 'from Seattle' (though I will use both Palm Springs and the city Coachella as a reference point when telling people where I live). when I say I'm from here I mean I'm from the Coachella Valley; Palm Springs sits roughly at one end of the valley, and I live about halfway down to the other end

but both Meg and Apollo refer to themselves as being 'in Palm Springs' when they talk about Aeithales, and since Meg presumably knows the area, and Apollo also talks about Coachella [Festival] in this book, I'm going to assume they know where they actually are, and that they must be in Palm Springs (or nearby unincorporated land)

OK so with all that out of the way: when they first show up, Apollo mentions the 'San Jacinto wilderness' to the west. I didn't remember this until I looked it up but San Jacinto is the Spanish name for Saint Hyacinth, which, brb crying

Apollo also mentions seeing a patchwork of golf courses below, which is what the valley is known for... but those are mostly in Palm Desert, which is about 15 miles southeast of Palm Springs. this is where my placement of things gets confused, because in my brain this should put them south of Palm Springs, not west—in fact, the San Jacinto wilderness area is more southwest of Palm Springs than straight west. however, if they're high enough in the hills along the southern side of Palm Springs, they'd still have a view of the golf courses in the east with a wilderness to their backs, so this still tracks for me (putting Aeithales above the Tahquitz Canyon area)

(Also, just for a fun local history lesson: a part of this area of the valley is broken into a checkerboard of 1 sq mile plots owned by the state vs plots owned by the Aqua Caliento Band of Cahuilla Indians. idk Meg's father's ancestory, so I'm not sure if he would have built Aeithales on Cahuilla land or not, but I'm going to assume not for now. this helps me narrow down where it might be!)

that's just from the introduction, though. much later in the book (p329 in my copy) Apollo mentions the winds shifting, 'filling the Morongo Valley with wildfire smoke' at which point I got real confused, because Morongo Valley is to the north, also about 15 miles (it's the area that connects the Coachella Valley through the northern mountains to Joshua Tree, another secluded desert town people like to escape to). based on previous estimate, they should be able to see that area, I'm just not sure why Rick chose to mention it; they shouldn't be driving that way at all. unless he meant Moreno Valley, which was mentioned earlier (they drove 'by' it to get to LA), or the Morongo reservation, which is usually just referred to as 'the pass' (between the mountains, into the Coachella Valley from the west; Apollo mentions going through the pass, in those terms, at one point). I think it makes the most sense that Rick meant the pass

I was also confused about where the ever-present wildfires are. from Aeithales, Apollo mentions a glow on the western horizon, but while driving 'by' Moreno Valley he mentions smoke to the north (I keep putting single quotes around 'by' because, depending on where the fires are, it might make just as much sense to go 'through' Moreno Valley) it's probable that the forests on top of both mountain ranges are on fire, given the situation, but the fact that they're able to get through the pass multiple times under these conditions?? nightmareish

final fun facts about driving times, since they drive so much in this book! depending on when you leave, driving from Palm Springs to Malibu takes around 3 hours, and Malibu to Santa Barbara is another hour and a half. thats a lot of driving while the mountains are all on fire! I wonder how expensive their refueling stops were!

anyway, I'm hazarding a guess that Aeithales is within one of these two red circle areas:

there's a couple hiking trails in both those areas, but they're otherwise unbuilt IRL. I'd be delighted to know where Rick intended for Aeithales to be when he did research for this book!

Nuevos OCs de mi Argentina Post-Magicapocalíptica:

Tomás

Aspecto: Hombre muy alto y flaco, de más o menos 25-26 años. Cabello castaño enrulado, ojos verdes y piel blanca bronceada. Tiene una barba un poco desacomodada. Siempre viste ropa de campo, botas, un pañuelo rojo y un sombrero de cuero. En su forma de lobizón tiene el aspecto de un aguará guazú enorme con brillo inteligente en los ojos.

Tomás no sabe bien donde nació ni quién fue su padre. Se crío con su madre en un rancho a las afueras de Puerto Tirol, Provincia del Chaco, y eso le dio experiencia sobre como manejarse en la solitaria noche. Tomás es un hombre callado, muy amable, amante del vino, a veces fácil de distraer, pero extremadamente hábil con un cuchillo y montando un caballo, además de poseer una amplia compilación de sabiduría popular que ni él recuerda de donde salió. Sus habilidades y su falta de temor a los espíritus nocturnos lo hacen un excelente mensajero y repartidor, una trabajo escencial que mantiene a los pueblos del litoral unidos en un mundo peligroso.

Tomás tiene un secreto. Desde que tiene 18, más o menos, se transforma en un lobizón, en un aguará guazú gigante que acecha los montes. Aunque con práctica ha podido mantener el control de esta forma, sigue siendo azotado por el instinto de la caza y el salvaje llamado animal. Afortunadamente, los aguará guazú son animales dóciles, aunque no por ello menos temidos, y los lobizones son acusados de conspirar con los espíritus nocturnos cuando no de asesinos sedientos de sangre. Pocas personas saben de su secreto. Al menos la soledad de ser mensajero lo ayuda a ponerlo en buen uso.

Estela

Aspecto: Mujer petisa y flaca, de más o menos 26-28 años. Cabello negro, largo y lacio, piel morena y ojos marrones; a veces con reflejos extraños. Viste vestidos negros o tremendamente coloridos, sin intermedio. Lleva un crucifijo, pulseras con imágenes de varios santos, y diversos amuletos.

Estela nació en Santo Tomé, Provincia de Corrientes, y se mudó a la ciudad de chica con sus dos madres, quienes le enseñaron el arte de curar, de las hierbas, de los payés y hechizos, y varias otras cosas más. Estela es una mujer muy inteligente, experta en absolutamente todo lo que sea sobrenatural y más, y con una actitud agresiva e independiente... por no decir caótica. Desafortunadamente esto le ha acarreado la desconfianza y la enemistad de más de una persona que la acusa de bruja, y no sin razón. Estela es una mujer muy curiosa, y su casa tiene una extensa colección de artefactos, cachivaches, y otras “boludeces que para algo servirán”.

Tomás acudió a Estela por su “condición”, ella le asegura que no tiene nada de malo y que incluso la puede usar para el bien. Normalmente vive en su “consultorio” atendiendo males de amores, pero suele sumarse a los viajes de Tomás para buscar “cosas que necesita” y tomar un poco de aire.

Y otros personajes:

Abril: La dueña de la única tienda de electrónica que todavía existe en Chaco, Abril se dedica al riesgoso negocio de arreglar tecnología vieja y posiblemente embrujada. También tiene algunos CDs, cassettes, y VHS de programas y música vieja que no existe más. Es tímida pero siempre quiso viajar fuera de la ciudad. Tiene anteojos pese a ser el post-apocalipsis.

Ricardo: Nadie sabe de donde salió, pero se proclama el cura de una iglesia abandonada; el obispo de Resistencia no está tan seguro. El Cura Rick sabe de teología, filosofía, biología, química, astronomía, gastronomía, mecánica, tocar la guitarra, y un montón de cosas más. Se cree el “padre” del equipo, pero nadie está de acuerdo. Tiene una escopeta con la que según él mató demonios y pedófilos.

El Pomberito: Sí, El Pomberito es un personaje. Nadie está seguro si es uno, si son varios, o si es el mismo replicado en varias partes, pero siempre está dando vueltas, pidiendo alcohol y cigarrillos, y haciendo comentarios inapropiados. Es también un guardián del monte y el que más contacto tiene con las personas, así que a veces vale la pena aguantar sus “ocurrencias”.

Y que hace esta gente? Bueno más que nada vagar entre los pueblos del litoral, las ruinas de las ciudades, el monte viviente, los ranchos abandonados, los esteros solitarios, los rios y riachos, y las ruinas del puente Chaco Corrientes, haciendo cosas como:

entregar paquetes y cartas porque la red de SMS está caida hace como 500 años

arreglar cosas electrónicas que quedan de por allá en 2012

exorcisar diversos demonios y maldiciones

tomar vino copiosamente

comer un buen asado bajo las estrellas

tratar de evitar que Tomás haga desastre cuando se transforme en un guau guau gigante

ayudar a la gente que vive en medio del monte

tratar de hacer andar viejos casettes de Soda Stereo

tener coloridas discusiones con el pomberito y con otras variadas figuras mitológicas locales

caminar por las ruinas de la costanera

tratar de evitar los espíritus rapaces y desconocidos de un mundo muerto y buscar refugio para pasar la noche sin que ellos los alcancen más que con sus sozollos lejanos, un recordatorio eterno de que el mundo pasado ya fue y ahora viven en un mundo donde la humanidad ya no tiene el control, y quizá nunca lo tuvo

tomar tereré

Easter: Redwoods, Light | #52 | April 2021

I write from Vegas, having returned after spending most of this spring in Reno. Life has been well. I feel adjusted to being back in the States a year. Every so often, objects and settings still remind me of last year’s evacuation from Mongolia. I still have the interest I’d had in trying to improve the lives of those around me. I still plan to return to Mongolia as soon as pandemic conditions permit.

This month’s blog story reminds me of cycles. Attending a virtual Open Mic Night at the conclusion to this month's “Culture of Creativity Workshops” featuring overseas alumni, I felt called to tell our folks there about this very blog story that I hadn't yet finished. A fellow participant suggested my theme of cycles. I'd spoken of how events that happen throughout time, how our feelings come and go. So here it is—My Easter 2O2I tales of cycles, light and renewal!

Back to Vegas

I returned to Vegas tasked by my father to continue to sort my belongings, tend to the yard and help my older brother and his girlfriend clean the kitchen since their recent move back to the house. Early in March, I’d visited the house with my siblings, and I’d intended originally to spend Holy Week here, too. But my college parish had many functions, including a friend’s baptism, Knights’ service events and opportunities for me to continue to help with the recordings of Sunday Proclamations of the Word. Palm Sunday’s and Good Friday’s were special highlights. Anyway, I'd opted to stay in Reno for Lent’s remainder into Easter’s first weeks.

Easter in Reno

Being in Reno for most of this April instead of in Vegas like last year, I enjoyed seeing trees blossom. A highlight of this Easter season has been its many serendipitous moments. This is also noteworthy because I'd listened to the "Tao of Pooh,” which noted spontaneity as among the good spiritual life’s fruits. A spiritual director had told me something similar not long before I'd graduated college.

Days before Easter Sunday itself (U.S. Year 2, Week 5; April 2–8, 2O2I), I enjoyed getting the opportunity to lector at that Mass. It was a small Mass, but I felt glad to be in person for the greatest celebration of the Christian year since all had shut down last year. Later this Easter Octave, I’d gotten to both lector and serve at a family's confirmation Mass. That too felt lovely.

Serendipity hadn’t stopped there! I’d caught up with an ol’ friend at Rancho San Rafael Park not far from the Uni and later biked with another friend at North Valleys Regional. My bike itself I’d bought from a rummage sale the day before on an unexpected adventure in a U-Haul truck to help our student coordinators collect furniture in the morning after they’d asked whoever could help. Thus, that Wednesday night they’d requested help, Thursday morning I’d joined them to Gardnerville and the rectory, and Friday night I was biking with a friend. The last time I recall riding in a U-Haul was over a dozen years ago when I was 11, my family moved from Indiana to Vegas.

My youngest sister has also been encouraging me to practice my licensed driving by borrowing her vehicle to and from our parish. I’d visited so often that staff offered me a key to simplify visits to my "home away from home away from home." I’d felt touched because I could go on walks around our pretty campus without worrying about getting locked out when I was alone. The flexibility gave me peace recently on my U.S. Year 2, Week 8 (April 23–29, 2O2I), when midday I’d needed to drop by my Honors College alma mater’s office to help print a letter I’d written to graduating seniors for our Honors Alumni Task Force.

Also at church, I’d gotten to participate in a few of our Alpha sessions hosted by a diaconate candidate whom I’d interviewed back in 2OI8 on my diocesan public relations internship. I'd heard about Alpha first back in Mongolia from a kind Evangelical Mongol. Anyway, the diaconate candidate, student coordinators and Alpha participants have been great conversation partners.

Beyond these, our pastor had driven me to my first Pfizer vaccine dose, lent me films and advised my reading! On one occasion, he even let me bring Holy Communion to a friend of mine. Such activities have kept me from feeling too distressed amid research writing and revisions. Parish support has made my “happy contentment” quest kinder.

Redwoods National and State Parks

This year’s Easter Octave concluded for me with another trip with my national parks friends (U.S. Year 2, Week 6; April 9–I5, 2O2I). This trip, I’d anticipated especially. As a young lad in Indiana, I’d felt mesmerized by the photos of massively tall California trees noted in our science textbooks. Thus, from an early age, Redwoods imprinted themselves in me.

At these national and state parks, epic scenery of old-growth forests, mountainous hills and valleys beside the coast astounded me. I hadn’t seen the Pacific Ocean since January 2O2O when I’d flown back to Mongolia from Vegas via San Francisco. I felt surprised by how many months had passed since my last overseas adventure.

At the loop completing the Tall Trees Grove trail, I found a special place. My peers had gone ahead while I stayed behind to take photos, record videos and capture audio. I hadn’t expected to find at the trail’s end a creek filled with still other trees—vast ones, like those that I’d seen in subtropical Asia but different.

I basked in these trees. While taking photos, I also discovered my phone has a virtual reality setting. I tried it out, remembering undergrad extra credit VR photography projects. I’d wanted to journal at least something.

“Daniel!” my peers called from some distance down the path. I couldn’t see them, but their voices echoed well enough. I called back something to the effect of, “I’m here!” I still wanted to get a good fill of this park. Here’s what I journaled:

[11:45 a.m.] Redwood, National Park, end of Tall Tree Grove along the creek zone is this phenomenal section of mossy trees with winding branches. Here I discovered my VR. [A woman paused, passing me, “You must be Daniel.”] 19IO–I96O, so many of these trees that used to be across Humboldt, Eureka, Arcata were cut down. The smells… the scents, the mosses, the ferns, the light. Beyond.

Mid-journaling, I paused because a mid-aged woman who was passing by smiled and acknowledged that I must be the "Daniel" she'd overheard about. I smiled yes and reveled in the gorgeousness that surrounded us. She affirmed and mused how this park’s name should be changed like, “Redwoods and Other Trees and Lose-Your-Brother-in-the-Forest National Park.” She added how in the early half of last century, these very types of trees once blanketed far more Northern California, across the very counties through which my friends and I traveled to get here.

I later journaled again after sprinting much of the uphill trail back to my friends. We then saw the “Lady Bird” Johnson trail, then a confluence of the Klamath River and Pacific Ocean (where there were seals!) and finally Trillium Falls. I’d written this about the final hike:

So hypnotic. [...] Dodona’s Grove* vibes from the Trillium hike after the Falls. Whispers from God. Endlessness.

*The Grove of Dodona is a prophetic forest from “The Hidden Oracle,” a book to which I’d listened amid the pandemic by an author I used to read in junior high and high school, Rick Riordan. While I wasn’t a huge fan of where he’d taken “The Heroes of Olympus” series’ finale, I'd often admired his picturesque locales.

My peers and I left the park by 6:45 p.m. The view from the road on which we departed reminded me of the bamboo forest in 安吉 Ānjí near 杭州 Hángzhōu. I’d seen it in 2OI7 during my first summer overseas and have rarely found comparable places.

Of Redwoods, I journaled too of how gleeful I’d felt to have hugged so many trees. A friend had complimented my writing when he mentioned that I don’t need to take so many photos. I added how photos help me remember what to write. I'll probably share my Redwoods photoset in May.

A carpet of moist, fallen leaves along the paved trails had reminded me of a Sunday morning path that my dad would take my siblings and me through for years at Spring Mill State Park in Mitchell, Ind.

Spring Retreat: Recognizing God’s Light

Beyond Redwoods, I'd stayed behind in Reno chiefly to participate in my college parish's Spring Retreat. This spring the student coordinators held it in Gardnerville, the same location where I'd enjoyed it my senior spring. However, I'd had to leave early from it that year. It was my first and only of the eight semesterly retreats from which I'd left early.

That year, I'd left in order to co-emcee the Diocesan Youth Rally 2OI9. To my surprise, the youngest member on this year’s student coordinator team was likely at that same event when she was a high school student. Similarities like these gladdened me.

I felt renewed. This year’s theme, "Light in the Darkness" (Spring 2O2I), reminded me of "Ignite the Light," (Spring 2OI8), the year after my mother died. This time, however, I’d had more years to reflect and feel greater peace. Similarly, I've felt more peace being back in the States even though I'd prefer to be abroad. God’s light shines every day, in every moment of every person. I can see it.

Writing of seeing things, I’d also seen "WandaVision" and "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier" while up in Reno. I’d reconnected too with a Disney-loving college friend to get more Disney+ watchlist ideas. I’d seriously enjoyed the “Into the Unknown: Making Frozen II” docuseries. Both she and my college pastor led me to witness iconic performances by Julie Andrews in both "The Sound of Music" and "Mary Poppins."

Justice

April felt refreshing for a more challenging reason as well. Much of the month had featured on many channels coverage from the trial over the killing of George Floyd. I imagined that this would be a trial that my generation remembers for years.

I’d watched live various testimonies and even the closing arguments. Then, on that Tuesday, April 2O, 2O2I, afternoon, our nation heard the verdict—My pastor called it among the fastest traveling news.

I've been on the Social Justice Task Force of the American Psychological Association’s Society for the Psychology of Religion and Spirituality since last summer. Our Task Force had come together in response to the killing of George Floyd and subsequent renewed pushes across our nation for social justice.

Our task force has been meeting every other Tuesday night, after weekly fed Zoom fatigue. Our meeting that Tuesday fell on the night of the guilty verdict. But, this justice felt cathartic only somewhat. More shootings filled the media. Our task was far from over.

Still, I’d another reason to celebrate. That Tuesday marked my last advocacy meeting on behalf of the National Peace Corps Association to offices of Nevada’s lawmakers this March–April. All told, I’d coordinated and met virtually with offices of the U.S. Congresspeople Horsford, Titus and Lee as well as Senator Rosen. And Representative Titus herself attended our meeting! She was very kind. So, I felt relieved to have finished those duties for now.

Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month

Next month (May) begins Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. I've decided to tell a #StopAsianHate story. Given America's centuries of racism toward Asians, I don't enjoy the subject. But, I’d had an experience on my Week 5I (Feb. 19–25, 2O2I). It reminded me the importance of continuing to tell stories so that we can promote diversity and inclusion.

I was on one of my Reno walks that cold winter. As usual, I'd pass by the local elementary school. I'd paused to check my phone. The time was while children were at recess. They played opposite a chain-link fence a few yards down a hill from where I stood.

At first, I didn't think that the kids were talking to me. So, I paid them little attention. Then their voices sounded closer, in greater numbers.

I hadn't decided whether to acknowledge the children but decided to finish my walk. My walk brought me along the fence. From my right periphery, I saw a clump of children gathering, following. They certainly addressed me.

I heard what sounded like slurs against Asians that I won't repeat here but also questions that I will repeat here.

The kids asked if I was homeless, whether I'm an orphan, whether I speak English. I reflected on these. I was wearing a big scarf from Mongolia, a hefty hand-me-down winter coat and wide, secondhand jeans, frayed at my ankles. But I hadn't spoken a word to the kids.

Their questions themselves weren't offensive. Yet, the children’s tones reminded me of the mocking ones I'd heard in middle school when boys made fun of me for caring more about good grades than getting girlfriends. (Little did the boys know, girls I liked tended toward good grades.)

Anyway, these kids seemed to have negative implications behind positive responses to their questions. This upset me. After all, homelessness, being an orphan and not knowing English are not inherently bad things. For, often, people do not choose to go without a home, parents or American English. So why might these children ask these degradingly?

I felt perturbed by the realization that these children would find pleasure in mocking people who they suspect are without homes, parents or English skills. Yet, from this, I felt a glimmer of solidarity. I'd heard directed toward me what seemed unkind speech. This may help me relate to Asians who hear slurs, to those without homes, to those without parents and to those perhaps struggling with English.

My parents tend to insist too that I buy new clothes, though. Given our world's rampant consumerism, I find second-hand ones quite fine. "Form follows function." I wish that more folks would appreciate hand-me-downs and thrifting.

Nuance

Curiously, as I continued past this chain-link fence, a somewhat pudgy boy of color asked with a wide grin for money for Taco Bell. Truthfully, I didn't have money on me. I calmly answered the questions, not pausing from my walk. I guessed the kids dismissed the homeless guess/joke. I noticed thankfully that they wore face masks. We’re still in a pandemic, after all.

The boy's questions made me wonder about his family life. True, he could have been joking. But I remembered, many of the boys who'd picked on me in middle school had been living in a neighborhood that many people called not a “good” part of town.

In light of the visibility that Black Lives Matter has had in the past year, I've tried to grow more aware of how cruel predominantly White societies can be toward Black, indigenous and other peoples of color. I recalled learning when I was little that, often those who bully had been bullied themselves. Sociology interests me.

Thus, when these playground children said potentially questionable things to me, I wasn't sure whether to intervene about the slurs or micro-aggressions or what I'd say.

As I neared the fence’s edge to complete my pass by the school, I overheard a girl's or maybe a woman's voice call the kids to stop wasting their free time. I'm glad that someone spoke up. Compassion is the answer, especially in light of hurtful things.

I’m still unsure whether my general silence was helpful or problematic. But the experience caused me to think. For, children learn fast. Innocence is invaluable. My generation's problems and those of that above ours replicate in youths the longer we fail to act.

I’m glad that folks are speaking up these days in hopes to #StopAsianHate. Social justice mustn't sleep.

Language Six

On April 2O2I’s last day, I hit my 365-day streak on Duolingo!

Over the past year, I’d focused on Latin, Spanish and Chinese. Having finished every lesson and level Duolingo had for Latin, I started dabbling in German. While I’ve no intention to extensively pursue German (yet, at least), I’ve enjoyed how its lessons help me see from where many non-Latin roots reach English.

I’ve been dipping into my Germanic heritage on Dad’s side again lately. This began about when I’d seen “The Sound of Music” then reconnected with my distant relative who’s researched more of our shared Austrian and Volga German forefathers and mothers. Turns out that my relative had personally written to and received a postcard from the real Maria von Trapp!

I've grown to like more German language. "The Sound of Music" and how Spotify has Disney soundtracks in German help. Besides listening to vocalists like Namika, I’ve also gotten into LEA, Manuel Straube, Julia Scheeser and even Willemijn Verkaik! This is probably just a phase, but it’s certainly fun.

Every language I’ve sought to learn has at least one Spotify playlist. For recent films I’ve seen, like "Mary Poppins" and "Mary Poppins Returns," I’ve cherry-picked tracks in German, Spanish and English. Though I don’t catch most words, I like to consider translators’ decision-making.

Summer Fun

I get my second Pfizer dose on Cinco de Mayo. By then, I hope to have channeled my Julie Andrews-inspired service of making things better than how I've found them. Later that vaccine week, on Mother’s Day, I’ll return to Reno with Tita and Papa.

May 14 will celebrate the Baccalaureate Mass of lovely student coordinators and friends from undergrad. Then comes the 2Ist birthday of my youngest sister and will also mark when I’m fully inoculated, May 19! Pentecost comes May 23. Then will be May 3O, the wedding of two of my undergrad coworkers, including a fraternity brother. We'll have a mini staff and fraternal reunion!

After that, I look forward most to a Seattle trip at my 24th birthday. National parks friends and I are flying up to see Olympic National Park. It’ll be my first time to see further into the Pacific Northwest than Ashland, Ore. My younger (not youngest) sister got a job in Seattle, so I’ll be surfing her couch for part of my visit. Super stoked to reconnect with friends from high school, college and Peace Corps in the city! Even my married friends with whom I'd spent New Year's Eve the past couple years plan to visit me there.

This April my siblings and I reviewed our first scholarship applications for a Foundation that we’d founded to honor our late mother, who was Chinese. So, with next month and the fourth anniversary of her passing, I’ll share Foundation experiences, I think. Along with those, graduations and celebrations await!

And that’s how you play “Follow The Money”

A top Health and Human Services official who said he was transferred from his post for pushing back on "efforts to fund potentially dangerous drugs promoted by those with political connections" felt pressured to rush access to chloroquine treatments for the coronavirus after President Donald Trump had a conversation about it with a mega-rich donor, a source close to the doctor told NBC News.

Dr. Rick Bright said he was instructed to implement a national program aimed at expanding access to the drug without proper controls and despite the lack of peer-reviewed clinical data on the drug's effectiveness following a conversation Trump had with Oracle Chairman Larry Ellison, the source said.

Ellison, one of the president's top supporters in the tech industry, is a member of the White House economic recovery task force. He hosted a big-money fundraiser for Trump at his home in Rancho Mirage, California, in February.

The president has repeatedly touted hydroxychloroquine as a potential "game changer" in the battle against the coronavirus.

FEVER PITCH

Robert Dean Stockwell readies “The Spagyric Eye” at RB Ravens

BY RICK ROMANCITO

To movie buffs, he’ll always be known as Dean Stockwell, the actor probably best remembered for roles in ‘Blue Velvet, ‘Dune’ and the TV series ‘Quantum Leap.’ He also has a small role in ‘The Manchurian Candidate,’ the modern remake of the famous Cold War thriller starring Denzel Washington and Meryl Streep.

To patrons in the art world, though, he wants to be known as Robert Dean Stockwell.

In between movie assignments, Stockwell has been making art. Using stacks of Life magazines, he pores over thousands of images in a process he calls “hunting.” He picks a couple of old editions- which he located loads of at a place in the Monterey Bay area- “and I sit down and I just hunt through it for images. And, I see something and I’ll tear the page out and put it over there and I’ll see something - and I end up with boxes full of pages with different images on them. And then something will click and say, ‘Ah, this goes here and that goes there.’”

He said he had the good fortune in 1956 to meet Wallace Berman, the famous Beat collage artist who died in 1976. “He invited me to his home,” Stockwell said Thursday (Aug. 26) as his first major show was being readied for the Friday (Sept. 3), 6-9 p.m., opening at RB Ravens Gallery in Ranchos de Taos. “He had this tiny little house in Beverly Glen Canyon in L.A., and I saw artwork that I didn’t realize existed.”

Sparked by the expressive nature of collage - the selective reorganization and manipulation of existing images into new compositions and thereby injected with new meanings via juxtapositions — Stockwell began seeing with new eyes, so to speak. “That began a search, as it were, that ended up with the pieces you see here.” Stockwell is no stranger to Taos. He’s been coming here off and on for the past 40 years and even had a house here at one time. “Taos is my favorite place in the world,” he said, while puffing on a fragrant stogie, “and I’m going to end up here.”

He calls actor-director Dennis Hopper his best friend, adding that he has always been surprised that Hopper acquired the “wild man” label in his youth while he didn’t, even though he was often with the “Easy Rider” star and former owner of the Mabel Dodge Luhan house when they “got into fights and were arrested and stuff.” Stockwell’s connection with Taos is also fused with an abiding respect for Taos and its people. He maintains ties to Taos Pueblo and calls Carpio Bernal his “blood brother.” Bernal, Stockwell is quick to point out, is the son of Paul Bernal, who history will show was one of the most influential American Indians in this nation for his role in the struggle to regain his tribe’s Blue Lake from government control during the 1960s.

Hopper, according to Stockwell, “is in love with Taos in the same way.”

Stockwell, Hopper, RB Ravens owner Ray Trotter and their cronies can often be seen at the Taos Country Club playing golf. Today, older, presumably wiser, and taking different outlooks on life than they did as young men, Stockwell and Hopper remain close. As for Trotter, it was he who Stockwell decided to show what he’s been up to.

All through the late 1950s and ‘60s, Stockwell made his collages, but only shared them with people close to him. “I was working principally as an actor,” he said. “And I didn’t feel, for me, that I was making things that were good enough to exhibit. I think now I was wrong.”

Obviously, if you’re working in the film industry and making ends meet in other ways, making art can be an erratic process. But suddenly, “out of the blue,” in late June and July of 2003, Stockwell got busy. Big time. “I just got into a fever pitch making these,” he said, gesturing to the works leaning on the walls around him. “I was up ‘til 4 in the morning every night for about six weeks and I did almost all of these in that time. Just in a rush.”

What got into you? he’s asked.

“I have no idea. It was just meant to happen, I guess.”

Then, he turned to his laptop computer and started playing with some of the scanned collages. Another idea. Get a serious printer. So, he goes out and buys “a small whale,” an Epson 7600 Ultrachrome with archival inks, which means he can print, theoretically, 24 inches by 100 feet.

“It’s a professional,” he said proudly. “This is not something you might find in somebody’s home.”

Why buy your own printer if all you have to do is go to someone with a disc and have them do it for you? The answer seems to be control. “I wasn’t going to make 25 prints (his edition size) if nobody buys them,” he said. “So, I’d make an artist’s proof if somebody wants one, then I make them a print and put number one on it out of 25 and send it to them.”

Stockwell is so serious about making art that he vowed, “I don’t care particularly if I ever act again. This is much more important to me. This exhibition shows something far more important that anything I’ve ever done in a career of 60 years as an actor. This is just on a whole other level.” He points to one of his pieces and notes the five-figure price, then says, “I’m not f--king around. And I’ve already sold one for $12,500. And Hopper bought two.”

While Stockwell is obviously proud of what he’s accomplished, he seems a bit at a loss to describe the imagery in his work, which seems infused with a 1960s spirit of satire, irreverence and social and political commentary. He said some people have made reference to that era, probably spurred by the sometimes dayglo colors he uses in the digital prints. But his meanings are very much up to the minute. He admits, “I can’t utilize words to any good effect in order to enlighten anyone as to meaning or whatever it is I’m doing. I’m expressing myself with these combinations of images. That’s it. I can’t go at it with words - I’ve done it with images.”

It’s intuition, the way he selects pictures, pushes them together, moves them around, cuts them apart and rearranges everything. Not a lot of thinking involved. Just doing.

One of the pieces in the show provided its overall title: “The Spagyric Eye.” “I think it applies to the whole show,” he said. Gleaned from an old Webster’s Dictionary from the 1940s, the word means “to draw, separate, to assemble ... alchemical.”

It’s about creating something from something else. Like being an actor for 60-some years and then focusing on art. It’s been there all along, just never seen in quite this same way.
