and then... While I was watching The Aware Show with Lisa Garr... The Wisdom Lady, Denise Linn, said that her Cherokee Mother put a lot of Value into Ceremony and Ritual... and Just the Day Before I Published My Original SONG called Ceremony and Ritual. I have been questioning if that is the best title for that song because those words do not appear in the lyrics... The HOOK is "Synapses on Fire!" and Often a song is Named After the Hook... or the Chorus... Yellow Submarine, Whole Lotta Love etc... SO, Is the Universe trying to GET MY ATTENTION? Could it be that I should study the Cherokee Healing Woman's Ideas? Clearing Clutter to Cause Great Health.
and now, On a travel Show, I see a Quaint Country Store in Maine... and out front they have RAINBOW SPIRAL TIE DYE T-SHIRTS. Just like they do in Alabama and Tennessee... Many of those Shirts are manufactured at Steven Gaskin's Farm Commune... At the end of the Sixties, many people LEFT the Haight Ashbury district of San Francisco and went back home... but Many Continued FURTHUR and settled on Cheap Land in Rural Locations. One of the most Successful of the Hippie Communes was "The Farm" in Tennessee... Most simply Moved North in California to Marin County, Mendocino, Humboldt and Southern Oregon. Someday I want to drive the Back Road from California To Oregon thru Bigfoot Country. Start at Arcata, California and take #299 into the Trinity Alps. Take a Left at #96 in Willow Creek and Drive thru the Hoopa Reservation... Just Keep on Going Past the Marble Mountains Wilderness Area and Take a LEFT at Happy Camp... on a Squiggly Road (with No Number on Google Maps) to Takilma, Oregon... Eventually You will Intersect with #199 at O'Brien... about halfway between Crescent City and Grants Pass. UP THERE in the Mountains near Hoopa is a Historic Hippie Commune called Black Bear Ranch? and another place Just inside the State of Oregon that is Famous for their Marijuana Farms and an entire "Back to the Land" Town, Takilma.

“Takilma Tales"
The Hippie History of Takilma, Oregon”, explores the evolution of a small village near the former town of Waldo; a Gold Rush ghost town, in remote Southwest Oregon. In the 60’s and 70’s, young hippies flocked to the run-down mining and logging town of Takilma on the edge of the Siskiyou Mountains, which straddle the border between California and Oregon. In that wilderness, the hippies transformed the small town, and with hard work and dedication, they created an intentional community, with its own medical clinic, community building, alternative school and food co-operative. This is a collection of stories from Takilma residents and a loose compilation of the history of the place, from ‘Natives to Nowadays’; in the words of many of its founding members. The author, herself a resident of Takilma for over 33 years, takes the reader on a fascinating account woven of the memories of numerous free-thinking, New-Age, back-to-the-land people who still reside there. If you’ve ever wanted to know what the hippie movement was all about; read this book. Written By Susanne Kindi Fahrnkopf...
Kamala Harris Says: "Her proposals will Not Just Move Black America Forward, but ALL of America Forward." - Reminds me of that famous Jerry Garcia Quote... "We would all like to be able to live an uncluttered life. A simple life, a good life. And think about moving the whole human race ahead a step, or a few steps."
It has become increasingly Obvious that ALL automobile Makers are having trouble selling New Cars, Trucks and SUVs. The reason why is that Most People simply do not have any extra money in their pocket to buy luxury items. Trump's Failed Economy has left the 99% working at Multiple Jobs but Bringing Home Less Actual Money. The Purchasing Power of Joe Six-Pack has Declined Dramatically in the Last Two Years. While the Total Number Of Jobs has Continued to Increase like it has for a Decade, the Rate of Pay in REAL DOLLARS has declined. Many people simply cannot afford a car at all and they use UBER or LYFT. More people are Fixing what they already own or buying Used Cars. While tRUMP Loudly Proclaims that the Economy is BOOMING! in fact, that is only felt by the Ruling Class. People that OWN STOCK benefit by the Stock Market Going Up. The 99% Don't Own Stock. The GDP (a measure of how much money Corporations are Making) is UP and People that OWN Corporations are Doing Great! People that WORK at Corporations are NOT. We see, fewer Union Jobs, more Temps, more Sub Contractors with NO BENEFITS. When you experience the Glory of Owning Your Own Business, Like UBER Drivers Do... You have the Opportunity to work for LESS than Minimum wage, no vacation, no health insurance and... IF YOU HAVE AN AUTO ACCIDENT, YOU ARE SUDDENLY OUT OF BUSINESS. The More You Drive, the More Likely you are to Have and Accident... and get Hurt... so, in the Marvelous "GIG" economy... there you are in the Hospital... unable to Work and unable to pay your Doctor Bills. THAT'S TRUMPONOMICS! A generation ago, or maybe TWO generations ago a Man Could Work at a Job and Raise a Family. THAT WORLD DOES NOT EXIST ANYMORE. "Make America Great Again" is a Desire to Live in the Fantasy World We Inhabited When Donald Trump was a Child... He wants to Go Back to the era of ELVIS... Really... He gave ELVIS an Award! Obviously, he has no Love for The Beatles... or Bruce Springsteen or The Eagles or The Grateful Dead or The Jefferson Airplane... Just Imagine CZAR Donald The Loser Soaking in a Bathtub, High on a Massive Dose of LSD, Begging Stormy Daniels to Throw the AC Electric Fan into the water when Grace Slick sings "FEED YOUR HEAD" at the Climax of White Rabbit! (a scene in the Hunter S Thompson Book/Movie "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas")
I'm looking forward to the TV Show "American SWAMP" hosted by Katy Tur of MSNBC. It will explore Corruption in the Failed tRUMP Administration and How he PROMISED to (In Ronald Reagan's Words) DRAIN THE SWAMP... but instead he installed His Own Swamp Creatures and there have been Endless Arrests and Resignations as all his "Best People" are exposed as Criminals trying to Get Rich Selling Influence and Access to Federal Government Money...
I foresee the House of Representative holding MANY MORE TELEVISED HEARINGS as a Campaign Strategy to Defeat CZAR Donald the Loser. They will TOTALLY MILK Impeachment in order to OUTRAGE AMERICANS and Drive Millions to the POLLS to SAVE DEMOCRACY!
Serve Turtle Soup! Nationwide!
Throw the Old White Men that are destroying the USA... OUT... Send #DitchMitch McConnell right back where he came from. He gave away the Republicrime Strategy when he said that a "FAIR ELECTION WOULD GIVE THE DEMOCRATS AN ADVANTAGE" - The GOP is totally dependent on Help From Russia to Win. Just lie in 2016, They threw the Election to tRUMP, this time the are counting on FOREIGNERS TO CAMPAIGN FOR RE-ELECTION... Maybe his Wife the Failed Transportation Secretary, Elaine Chou, Can get Millions of her Relatives to Post absurd Nonsense on Facebook, Twitter, and 4CHAN... QAnon on Steroids... Remember that (tRUMP'S Employee) Steve Bannon hired Chinese people to play Video Games so that they could get the Magic Power Tools? And then he Sold those Magic Tools for CASH! US Dollars... Those people are still alive and would LOVE to play the Video Game Called DEMOCRACY... Steve is Currently Exiled to Europe but... could get on a Jet and be at his desk in the West Wing of the White House in 18 Hours... Ready, Willing and Able to GO TOTAL BERZERKER FOR tRUMP!
