November 11th is Veterans Day! We thank and honor our military men and women for their service to our country.

For today, Howard letterpress printed the phrase “Veterans Day” in 24 point Caslon font. Above the text is a print of a U.S. flag, which was made using an electrotype from the Al from New Jersey Collection. This was printed with black rubber base ink using our Washington hand press, which was made in 1852.

If you don't help me, I'll sleep in the trash dumpster

October 27, 1986. Monday

I met a guy tonight as I took out the trash. He had a big chain around his neck. He wore a leather coat, and a dragon ring. It was another sad session of “ I have no place to stay, no food. If you don’t help me, I’ll sleep in the trash dumpster. He showed me a box of record albums that he had been carrying around. Into the box I delved. And, there were his worldly possessions: the records (probably hot ((stolen) but maybe not. “They are original 60’s stuff” he said. Also in the box was a Sony walkman (his pride and joy) and an old plaid shirt. These were his things in life. And, as I picked through, he told me that he was a Vietnam War  Veteran. He had been a prisoner of war for 2 years. He was in the service from 1968-1972. He is 36 years old. He has shaggy, shoulder length brown hair and deep, dark, knowing eyes. A good person. He sang he said. His old lady had just thrown him out. “Do you know where F & M records is?” Will you give me a ride?” He asked. 

I went up to get him $5 for a record. I gave him the money. He refused to give me the record. He was demanding $10. I said “honor is at stake here. Give me the record”. He did. The situation was a bit tense.

Last night a man screamed many times “Jesus Christ, fuck you for leaving me in the alley with no food, and to pick through garbage. Fuck you. Do you hear me?”. This went on for some time.

And, the shopping carts trundle by constantly. Even after the Truckbugs chewed down another crashing good breakfast, within minutes, the street people were there to sift the residue.

Footsterps again pass beneath my window. The alley—a river of pain and endlessness and satisfaction. In its eddys and flow, one man’s trash turns to crystals of value for another, the bloom instead of the field. A sad endless march. But, life—no less—and, don’t be fooled. There is a sweet dignity there, beneath my window, and within them, too.

End of this part of the entry

Notes: 5/23/2024

I wrote the above 10/27/1986 entry in my apartment in Sacramento, California. The apartment was on the second floor. An alley ran directly behind the apartment. It had a steady stream of homeless running ing throuhgh it, especially at night.

I think what I meant by "trash bugs chewing down breakfast" was trash trucks dumping the trash dumpster in the alley.

In 1986, I had little interest in the homeless. I didn't sleep in the apartment the first night or two out of concerns about the homeless in the alley. During my time living in the apartment between 1986 and 1987, I had few direct contacts with the homeless in the alley.

But, by March of 2017, a little over 30 years later, I had changed. I could "see" the homeless and they could "see" me. Meaning, we were aware of one another as equal. We were human beings. I call my homeless meetings encounters. And, I find that in the encounter, the homeless heal me. I'll blog more about my experiences with he homeless in future blogs.

NBC’s Kristen Welker "incorrectly implied" that Vice President Kamala Harris was in attendance at the dignified transfer of U.S. troops killed during the Afghanistan withdrawal.

Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., appeared on NBC’s "Meet the Press" Sunday and criticized President Biden and Harris for ignoring the families of the fallen soldiers. 

"Joe Biden and Kamala Harris — where were they? Joe Biden was sitting at a beach. Kamala Harris was sitting at her mansion in Washington, D.C. She was four miles away — ten minutes. She could've gone to the cemetery and honored the sacrifice of those young men and women, but she hasn't. She never has spoken to them or taken a meeting with them," Cotton told Welker. "It is because of her and Joe Biden's incompetence that those 13 Americans were killed in Afghanistan."

"They did meet them during the dignified transfer. They were with them at the dignified transfer," Welker interjected.

TRUMP SUPPORTERS, GOLD STAR FAMILIES FLOOD HARRIS' X ACCOUNT AFTER ARLINGTON ATTACK: ADMIN 'KILLED MY SON'

NBC posted a correction on the show's X account after the show. 

"On our broadcast this morning, we incorrectly implied that both President Biden and Vice President Harris attended the dignified transfer of 13 American service members killed during the Afghanistan withdrawal,"  NBC wrote on their "Meet the Press" X account.

"Biden was in attendance but Harris was not," the statement continued.

GOLD STAR FAMILIES SLAM KAMALA HARRIS FOR 'PLAYING POLITICS' OVER TRUMP'S VISIT TO ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY

President Biden was at the event, photographed "repeatedly checking his watch" during the proceedings.

Former President Trump, who attended the Arlington National Cemetery at the request of Gold Star families, commemorated the third year anniversary of botched withdrawal from Afghanistan that left 13 U.S. service members killed. 

"The Trump team is very, very respectful and cognizant. They wanted to be respectful to everyone there," Christy Shamblin, mother of fallen U.S. Marine Sgt. Nicole Gee, one of the Fallen 13 from Afghanistan, told "The Sacramento Bee." 

"The big news stories that the mainstream media covers about the [Fallen] 13 aren’t stories of honor and respect. It’s hard to understand why. There are always stories about some kind of conflict that didn’t happen... The Trump team worked diligently with us and with Arlington to make sure there weren’t any disruptions to services, or even to any school groups," Shamblin continued. 

Gee’s mother also went on to tell "The Bee" that she was "confident" that a second term for the Trump Administration would be "better for veterans and their families." 

The families of the 13 service-members have said they have yet to hear from Biden or Harris, despite having made attempts to reach out to the administration.

"At least Biden sent us a form letter," Shamblin added. "I think one of the most devastating parts of having the administration really just ignore this and not speak their names and speak to us, is that you start to feel like your loss is really in vain."

The Sacramento Kings have made the NBA postseason for the first time since 2006. What’s changed?

The Sacramento Kings have made the NBA postseason for the first time since 2006. What’s changed? By Thomas Schlachter, CNN CNN —  Daniel Powter’s “Bad Day” was topping the Billboard Hot 100, Owen Wilson had just made his debut as Lightning McQueen in “Cars” and Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray was counting down the days to his sixth birthday. May 2006 was a long time ago and for all those involved with the Kings, it must feel like even longer. Sacramento has not played an NBA postseason game in almost 17 years but after turning a corner this season, fans in the Golden 1 Center will finally have something to cheer for after the 82 games of the regular season conclude. The Kings clinched a playoff berth following the team’s 120-80 win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday. They now sit with a record of 46-30 and become the third team to secure a spot in the Western Conference playoffs, joining the Denver Nuggets and Memphis Grizzlies. With De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis leading a new era in Sactown, there is hope that the return to the NBA Playoffs isn’t just a flash in the pan, but a sign of things to come for future years. Trading places There were a lot of questions raised when the Kings opted to trade brilliant, young point guard Tyrese Haliburton to the Indiana Pacers in early 2022. Haliburton was drafted No. 12 by the Kings and was seen by many as the point guard of the future for the franchise. The 6-foot-5-inch playmaker was named to the 2021 NBA All-Rookie First Team and finished third in Rookie of the Year voting after his first season in the league. After averaging 13 points, 5.3 assists and three rebounds in his first year, Haliburton kept up the pace during his sophomore season and recorded a career-high 38 points and 17 assists early into his second year. However, the Kings began to have concerns over his long-term fit with Fox in their backcourt and a subsequent blockbuster trade sent Haliburton to the Pacers. Buddy Hield and Tristan Thompson followed the guard to the Hoosier State with Justin Holiday, Jeremy Lamb, a 2023 second-round pick and, most importantly, Sabonis heading to California. Like Fox alongside Haliburton, Sabonis was a star in a team which was not particularly well constructed around his skillset. The Lithuanian has excelled since arriving in Sacramento and is having one of his best years in the NBA in the 2022/23 season. Sabonis – son of Hall of Fame center Arvydas Sabonis – is averaging career highs in rebounds and assists at the time of writing and returned to the All-Star team for already the third time in his young career. Speaking to The Athletic shortly after his trade, it seemed that the 7-foot-1-inch star knew there were good things waiting for the Kings. Sabonis said: “They brought me here, and we want to change things, you know? “It’ll be a lot of fun. It’s just little by little, I think we’re doing great things and going in the right direction. We’re gonna have a big summer – we’ve been talking about it. And then we’ll have a good training camp and get all the people together, you know?” All change in the off-season After a dismal start to the 2021/22 season, Luke Walton was fired from his role as the Kings’ head coach. Walton was replaced by veteran coach Alvin Gentry on an interim basis and upon the completion of the campaign, the 68-year-old was also let go. The Kings then appointed the associate head coach of the Golden State Warriors, Mike Brown, as their new head coach before the start of the 2022/23 season. Brown had just won an NBA championship with the Warriors after a finals win against the Boston Celtics, and was tasked with bringing some of his winning know-how to Sactown. The 53-year-old has completely overhauled how the Kings approach the game and has turned the franchise into one of the most exciting offenses in the league. Along with Brown, guard/forward Kevin Huerter and shooting guard Malik Monk became key pieces for the Kings and No. 4 draft pick Murray also joined up with the squad. It is no surprise that the arrival of these pieces has coincided with the overhaul of the Kings’ offense. Since moving to the West Coast, Huerter and Murray are shooting over six threes a game, and both are draining shots from deep at over 40%. Monk is just slightly behind the pair in terms of three-pointers attempted (3PA) and three-point percentage (3P%) but helps demonstrate how far this Kings offense has come and the planning that went into building the squad. The Kings ranked 21st in terms of three-point attempts-per-game last season while also shooting from deep at a 24th-rated 34.4%. This term, Brown’s team has climbed to seventh in the 3PA rankings with 36.9 attempts a game at a clip of 37.4% – eighth best in the NBA – again demonstrating the offensive changes that have been made. Another contributing factor to the Beam Team’s success are the performances of Fox in the clutch. The brilliant 25-year-old is on top of the NBA’s Clutch Player Ladder and has been vital in helping his side grind out crucial wins in key moments of the season. Attack is the best form of defense So far this season, the Kings have led the league in points-per-game with a staggering 120.9. Last season, the Kings finished 16th in this ranking, averaging just 110.3 points per outing. The transition the team has made and the additions to the roster have been vital in terms of their increased offensive numbers. Summing up the franchise, the Kings top the offensive rating rankings but sit 26th in terms of defensive rating – demonstrating their all-out attack mentality. This was encapsulated in their record-breaking game against the Los Angeles Clippers. In the second highest scoring matchup in NBA history, the Kings won 176-175 in an incredible offensive display. Fox scored 42 and added 12 assists with Monk leading the team in scoring with an impressive 45 from the bench with six threes. ‘Light the beam!’ The fans at the Golden 1 Center have completely bought into the project and have also played their part in the Kings’ success this season. After every home win, the Kings project a huge purple beam into the sky, in what has become a key part of the culture created at the franchise. With a win approaching, the entire arena erupts with chants of “LIGHT THE BEAM! LIGHT THE BEAM!” which has created a social media sensation. While some opposing teams and fans have used this to mock the Kings if they lose a game, the beam has helped create a special relationship between the fans and the franchise. Whatever happens to Sacramento in the playoffs, it has turned things around this year while capturing the hearts of its fans by playing run-and-gun, fearless basketball. Everyone in Sactown will be hoping they continue to light the beam throughout the postseason. Read the full article

Finding Hope Through Homeless Shelters Near Me: A Guide to Housing Resources in Sacramento

Homelessness is a widespread issue, and finding immediate support can feel overwhelming for those facing housing instability. For individuals and families in need, a search for homeless shelters near me often leads to a lifeline of resources and support. In Sacramento, the availability of housing resources in Sacramento offers individuals and families a chance to regain stability and rebuild their lives.

This article explores the importance of homeless shelters and housing resources and how they provide hope and dignity to those in need.

The Importance of Homeless Shelters Near Me

Homeless shelters are more than just a place to sleep—they’re a critical resource that offers safety, support, and stability during difficult times. When individuals search for homeless shelters near me, they are looking for immediate assistance and a pathway to get back on their feet.

Homeless shelters in Sacramento not only provide a roof over one’s head but also act as a stepping stone toward long-term solutions. Many shelters work alongside programs offering transitional housing, employment support, and counseling services, ensuring individuals and families can make lasting changes in their lives.

Housing Resources in Sacramento: A Helping Hand

For those facing housing insecurity, the availability of housing resources in Sacramento provides critical support. These resources include emergency housing, transitional housing, and room and board programs that cater to individuals, families, seniors, and veterans. Programs like Angelic Housing are at the forefront, helping people access safe and affordable living options.

Sacramento’s housing resources often combine practical help with emotional and social support, recognizing that homelessness is not just a financial issue but also one that affects mental health and well-being. These programs aim to empower individuals to regain control over their lives by offering:

Emergency Housing Solutions: Immediate shelter for those in crisis.

Affordable Housing Options: Long-term solutions for sustainable living.

Supportive Services: Job training, financial education, and mental health resources.

Specialized Housing for Women and Families: Safe and tailored spaces for vulnerable groups.

How to Find the Right Shelter or Resource

Searching for homeless shelters near me or housing resources in Sacramento can connect individuals with local organizations dedicated to providing help.

Contact Housing Programs: Call shelters or housing programs directly to understand their availability and services.

Seek Additional Support: Many programs collaborate with food banks, counseling services, and employment agencies to offer holistic support.

Explore Transitional Housing Options: If immediate shelter is not available, transitional housing can be an excellent alternative.

How Homeless Shelters Change Lives

Homeless shelters and housing programs in Sacramento have the power to transform lives. They provide more than temporary shelter; they offer hope, stability, and a path forward. Families experiencing homelessness, individuals recovering from hardships, and veterans transitioning to civilian life can all benefit from these vital resources.

Latest for the San Francisco Chronicle

Nine months before narrowly losing the Sacramento mayor’s race, on a chilly night in early March, Flojaune Cofer arrived at her election night party dressed in a geometric print tunic, red pants and stiletto heels. The first-time political candidate and public health advocate — Dr. Flo to her supporters — was all smiles as she made her way through the bar in Old Sacramento, the capital city’s touristy waterfront district.

“Tonight is about us celebrating what we have built here in the city of Sacramento,” Cofer told the packed bar.

Stepping off the stage and forming a line with supporters and friends, Cofer started dancing, the joy on her face palpable.

Vying to be the first Black woman to lead Sacramento and the city’s most progressive mayor in modern history, Cofer was laboring against the political status quo. But more than a week later, she bucked expectations when she emerged as the primary’s top vote-getter in a pack of well-known establishment politicians. The results upended predictions, even as Sacramento’s other most well-known progressive, incumbent Katie Valenzuela, handily lost her District 4 council seat.

Now, Cofer has conceded, veteran state Assembly Member Kevin McCarty is preparing to enter the mayor’s office, and the overall 2024 election results are forcing progressives to once again question their place in a city, state and country that is skeptical, fearful or hostile to their values.

Warriors land Eric Paschall on 2019 Draft Night

On June 20th, 2019, the Golden State Warriors traded a future 2024 second round draft pick (Pelle Larsson) and $1.3 million cash considerations to the Atlanta Hawks for a 2019 second round draft pick (Eric Paschall).

The 2019 offseason was transformational for the Golden State Warriors. Though they weren't hitting a full reset on a championship contender, the team was due for some changes.

Superstar Kevin Durant ruptured his right achilles tendon in the 2019 NBA Finals and he was also set to become a free agent. All-Star guard Klay Thompson tore the ACL in his left knee the Finals and was likely to miss the entire 2019-20 season.

The Warriors used the 2019 draft as an opportunity to add some youth and talent to the roster. First, the club took guard Jordan Poole 28th overall in the first round. Then, in the second round, Golden State acquired forwards Alen Smailagić and Eric Paschall, the 39th and 41st picks in the draft respectively.

The Atlanta Hawks had a slew of picks in the 2019 draft including 8, 10, 17, 35, 41 and 44. The Hawks moved number 44 to the Miami Heat for a protected pick and cash considerations. The next move was dealing 41 to the Warriors for a future second rounder in 2024 and $1.3 million in cash considerations.

Standing 6-7 tall, Paschall was a physical but undersized power forward with a polished offensive game. A fifth year senior, he spent his first season at Fordham University before transferring to Villanova University. In his senior year, Paschall was named to the First-Team All-Big East team after averaging 16.5 PPG and 6.2 RPG.

The Warriors meanwhile were undergoing a makeover. Durant decided to leave the Warriors. He signed with the Brooklyn Nets to team up with star Kyrie Irving. Golden State agreed to a four-year deal with Brooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell. Both the Warriors and Nets agreed to a sign and trade involving both Durant and Russell. Key veterans Andre Iguodala and Shaun Livingston departed via trade and retirement respectively.

The Warriors signed Paschall to a fully guaranteed three-year, $4.2 million contract. At the time, it was the second highest amount of guaranteed money given to a player picked in the 40s of the draft. Paschall joined the Warriors for Summer League in both Sacramento and Las Vegas. He played in three contests, mustering 11.3 PPG on 54.5% shooting, 3.3 RPG and 2.3 APG in 24.4 MPG.

The 2019-20 Warriors season was doomed from the start. Golden State lost its first two games by 19 and 28 points. After a win against the New Orleans Pelicans in the third game, Stephen Curry fractured his left hand in the fourth game against the Phoenix Suns.

Golden State proceeded to drop 12 of its next 14 games to fall to 3-15. The season quickly transformed into a rebuild. Golden State had the worst record at 15-50 when the 2019-20 season was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Amid injuries to Curry and Draymond Green, the Warriors' young players were given an opportunity to shine. Paschall was one of the beneficiaries. The rookie forward appeared in 60 games, amassing 14.0 PPG, 4.6 RPG, 2.1 APG and 0.5 SPG in 27.6 MPG. For his efforts, Paschall made the NBA's All-Rookie first team and finished sixth in Rookie of the Year voting. Specifically, Paschall's ability on offense to attack out of the midpost and faceup against defenders became a weapon the Warriors went to often.

When the NBA season resumed in the Bubble in Orlando, Florida, the Warriors did not qualify to play. The Warriors hoped to get back to prominence for the 2020-21 season. The team had made a late in-season deal to acquire Andrew Wiggins and a future first round pick from the Minnesota Timberwolves for D'Angelo Russell.

However, the team's hopes would once again take a hit. Thompson was looking to return from his knee injury, but tore his right achilles tendon in an offseason workout. In other offseason moves, the Warriors held the number two pick in the 2020 draft and selected center James Wiseman.

Looking to add a wing, the Warriors acquired forward Kelly Oubre from the Oklahoma City Thunder. The team also signed veteran Kent Bazemore.

The 2020-21 season saw the Warriors hover around .500. At 22-20 after 42 games, Golden State dropped seven of the next eight games to fall to 23-27. The Warriors finished the season strong, going 16-6 over the final 22 games to finish eighth in the West with a 39-33 record.

Paschall had a smaller role in his second season. He appeared in 40 contests and contributed 9.5 PPG, 3.2 RPG and 1.3 APG in 17.4 MPG. He missed some time during the season with a left hip flexor strain.

Golden State's offense was built around Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and player movement. Paschall's isolation-heavy style didn't fit with that style. He wasn't much of a floor spacer or a switchable defender. Forward Juan Toscano-Anderson surpassed Paschall in the rotation by the end of the season. Paschall played just twice in Golden State's last 24 games.

The Warriors qualified for the play-in tournament which the NBA had added new rules. Golden State had to face the seventh seed Los Angeles Lakers on the road.

Curry had 37 points and the Warriors led early 13 at halftime. Los Angeles bounced back and took a lead in the final quarter. Both teams would trade the lead in the fourth. Lakers forward LeBron James made a clutch three with 58 seconds left despite a watery eye from an eye poke and the Lakers held on for a 103-100 win.

With the win, the Lakers became the seventh seed. The Warriors went on to face the winner of the nine seed and ten seed game at home. The 38-34 Memphis Grizzlies would be the opponent. Curry had 39 points but Grizzlies guard Ja Morant put up 35 points. Memphis won in a close overtime affair 117-112. The loss eliminated the Warriors from the playoffs. Paschall did not play in either play-in game.

In the 2021 offseason, the Warriors dealt Paschall to the Utah Jazz for a protected 2026 second round pick. Paschall ended his two-year run in Golden State with a stat line of 12.2 PPG, 4.0 RPG and 1.8 APG in 100 appearances. The forward shot 50% from the field, 30% on trifectas and 75% from the free-throw line.

The second round pick the Warriors sent to the Hawks in the deal was for the 2024 draft. In February 2020, Atlanta rerouted the pick to the Houston Rockets in a four-team deal involving the Denver Nuggets and Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Rockets held the pick until 2024, selecting guard Pelle Larsson from Arizona. The Rockets traded Larson's draft rights on draft night to the Miami Heat in a three-team deal with the Atlanta Hawks.

Eric Paschall on being drafted to the Warriors:

"It means a lot. I mean, I actually told my parents through this whole draft process I wanted to get to the Warriors… everything ended up working out and I just appreciate that, I mean it's all a blessing just to be here… just to hear your name called in the draft is a really big blessing.”

What he can bring to the Warriors (via Warriors.com):

"I think I could just bring energy, I mean one thing I've learned at Villanova is learning different roles… I wasn't always the star there and, I mean, you just got to find a way to make an impact in whatever way you can even if that's on or off the court."

Golden State Warriors Bob Myers on the team taking three players in the 2019 draft (via the San Francisco Chronicle):

"We'll be somewhat limited as far spending this summer. It's hard to find new players. If one of these guys gives us good minutes, great. If two can, great. Who knows who that guy will be? But we like these three well enough."

On the hope for the future:

"There's probably someone grading this draft right now. People like to see a grade, and I like to see that stuff, too. I hope they work hard. I hope they're humble. I hope they fit into our culture. I mean, that's why we took them. I hope they help us win some basketball games."

Steve Kerr on the team drafting Paschall (via the San Francisco Chronicle):

"We were kind of holding our breath hoping for him to fall. Luckily, it happened."

Third Annual Coach Knapp Campaign Returns With Joint Stair Climb Prior To Thursday Night Football

The Coach Knapp Memorial Fund, named in honor of veteran NFL assistant coach Greg Knapp, dedicated to educating drivers on the dangers of distracted driving, reduce the number of distracted driving related deaths, and promote distracted driving awareness reform, will have its busiest weekend of the year to date this week, as three NFL teams and a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) will take to the stairs.

Thursday night at MetLife Stadium, the New York Jets and Houston Texans will combine efforts for this season's first join stair climb, taking place at approximately 5:30 PM. Then on Sunday prior to their game at Nissan Stadium against the New England Patriots, the Tennessee Titans will join this year's participants. The week will end on Monday, with the Boston College Eagles running the steps of Alumni Stadium in Newton, Mass. as part of their return to play week when the face another Knapp Stair Climb participant, Syracuse University.

Nearly half of the NFL and over a dozen NCAA teams are participating in this fall's "Coach Knapp Stair Climb," the largest number in the brief three-year history of the event.

In honor of Coach Knapp, NFL coaches, players, executives and alumni will participate in raising funds and awareness at each NFL stadium prior to team warmups. Teams confirmed to participate in the stair climb include: Packers, Colts, Titans, Rams, Jets, Browns, Texans, 49ers, Commanders, Falcons. Participating NCAA teams include: Boston College, Oregon State University, Georgia State University, University of Oregon, University of Houston, Syracuse University, Sacramento State, Boston College, Butler University, East Carolina University, Ripon College, Rice University, and the University of Utah.

Over 500 coaches, players and staff will be participating in various forms on game days, easily eclipsing the goal of 20+ participating teams.

The fund, which has raised over $250,000 to date already, was created by Greg's wife, Charlotte, and close friend and agent, Jeff Sperbeck, to honor the legacy of Greg Knapp who tragically passed away in July 2021 after being hit by a distracted driver while he was bicycling. Coach Knapp was known for climbing the stadium stairs before every single NFL game he coached over his 25 season career. All will be tagged #knappstairclimb on social platforms.

At the time of his passing, Knapp was recently named Passing Game Coordinator of the New York Jets under head coach Robert Saleh, after serving as an assistant coach for over a quarter of a century.
