My Home: Orangevale, California - New Roof, Front Yard and Back Deck - In the Distance a Field and a Daycare Center... Our Creek and an Abandoned Vineyard... Palm Trees Out Front...


My Home in Orangevale, CA - Door on the Left is My Room

New roof on my House

Construction today 3/22/2022

Giant Truck with Crane to put Shingles on the Roof EffortlesslyGiant Truck with a Crane for putting the Shingles on the NEW ROOF Effortlessly... Observe the Shadow of the Arm That's holding a Pallet full of Shingles... No need for a Construction worker climbing a ladder with a bag of shingles on his shoulder... Like they did in the olden days... there is a man wearing a yellow hooded sweatshirt... standing near the rear of the truck... he looks tiny!

thru the Palm Trees

Inside my Room Looking Out at the World.
Inside My Room Looking Out at
the Parking Lot and The House Next door...
and Our Palm Trees, The Redwoods...

I spend Most of My Life Observing this View
Because I Rest the Laptop Computer on the 
Chair in the Foreground of this Picture.
I'm on the Computer a LOT... and
I Like to Listen to New Age Music on the TV. 
It Plays 24 Hours a Day and Blocks the Noise
from the Rest of the House...
TV Sets Blaring, Employees Talking on
their Phones... Etc, Etc, Etc

one step out my door - trees, lawn
One Step Out My Door - Trees, Lawn
In the Summer, there are Roses 
and a Crepe Myrtle tree in Bloom.

Our Creek. Stagnant Water & The Abandoned Vineyard
Our Creek. Stagnant Water & 
The Abandoned Vineyard...

It hasn't rained for two months but 
the water is still there... 
Breeding Mosquitoes... 
I Squirted Some Liquid Hand Soap 
on the water. That's supposed to prevent 
Mosquito Larva from Hatching... 
We Shall SEE!

Back Deck: I spend a lot of time observing nature here... That's one of the Great Advantages of Retirement... I Can sit here in the Sunshine and Listen to the Little Birds and the Children Playing far away... Not Reading a Book, Not Writing a Blog Post... Just Observing the Wonders of Nature...

Remember: The GOP's Fake "Voter Fraud" is all about preventing Democrats from Voting... Because the Majority of Voters are Young, Women, Minorities or College Graduates and ALL Those Groups Vote Democratic.

DEFUND tRUMP's SPACE FARCE. It's Really Unlikely that we will be Invaded by Aliens in Flying Saucers... and if we do, we ought to be friendly... because they would have better technology... better weapons! It's Obvious that tRUMP Started the Space Farce because he believed that Little Green Men from Uranus were Likely to Attack Him... Clinically, That's Paranoid Schizophrenia... Police Code 5150...

and then I read on Faceborg:
Thank you my friend Fred Hamill 👏
Moscow Mitch had a plan on a takeover of the U S Senate and House in the 2022 midterm elections just 8 months from now.
It was a simple plan and definitely the smartest route to take.
His plan was to say ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about the Republican radical right agenda once the Republicans actually seized power.
But now his plan has been completely sabotaged by Republican Senator Rick Scott of Florida.
Last week Rick Scott laid out a frightening, Orwellian 11 point agenda once Republicans regain power.
It is a comprehensive right wing wish list for a theocratic, kleptocratic, plutocratic, apartheid based United States where the poor are further impoverished and power and resources are concentrated even further into the hands of corporate elites.
The Rick Scott, Republican agenda proposes the following:
The total phase out of Social Security retirement benefits for ALL Americans!!
A declaration of war on the transgender community by claiming there are JUST two genders. This will enable Republicans to impose harsh punishments against transgender people.
Eliminating the federal Department of Education while introducing prayer in public schools. This has been a longtime desire by the theocratic right.
The mandatory phase out of ALL federal programs including every environmental protection law unless specifically reauthorized by a Republican controlled government.
A massive gutting of federal workers including regulators who protect our health, environment, food safety, and IRS workers so the richest non paying plutocrats and corporate criminals pay nothing in taxes.
And while the Rick Scott agenda says noting about the rich paying their fair share of taxes he goes out of his way to impose new taxes on the poorest people in this country. Or as Rick Scott phrased it "everyone should have skin in the game"
It does not matter to Rick Scott and Republicans how impoverished Americans are. They must pay taxes to allow billionaires and corporate criminals to pay none!
The Scott/Republican agenda calls for draconian nationwide voter ID laws to suppress minority and student voters and to lock in permanent Republican advantages in all elections.
The Scott/Republican agenda will spend billions of dollars to build the fantasy wall envisioned by Trump and to even name the wall after the TWICE impeached Trump.
The Scott/Republican agenda calls for a FIFTY STATE BAN on abortions. This plan would not just make abortion a state by state decision but would impose a national ban on abortions.
In some respects Democrats owe Rick Scott a huge thank you.
He has exposed the Republican agenda for the anti democratic, fascist roadmap that it is.
It is a plan that economist Paul Krugman has called "zombie economics".


I Really Love Taking a Walk in the Woods... I Do It Every Day Now That I'm Retired... I Remember the Trail from The Novitiate to Lexington Dam Spillway, in Los Gatos. CA. Then Take a Left and Come Back Over the Top of the Mountain... Spectacular Views of Santa Clara County.

In High School, The Basketball Team Would Run This Route... Yes, I was on the Team But I Was a Very Bad Player... a Slow Runner, Couldn't Put The Ball in the Basket and Dribbling Was Just Not My Thing... Other Players Would Simply Take the Ball Away from me when I Bounced it... I made the Team for Three Years but Refused to Play in my Senior Year because the Coach (My Math Teacher) and I Disagreed About Everything... However... I WAS on the Swim Team all four years. One Side Effect of Swimming in Chlorine is that it Prevents Acne...

Here is a Satellite Photo of Lexington Dam and the Trail Back over the Top of the Mountain is Clearly Visible at the TOP CENTER of the Picture... Hopefully People will Try That Hike Now that You Know Where it is... There is a SUPER VIEW of the Santa Clara Valley...

The REASON I Take a Walk Every Day is that a Couple of Years ago I Had to use a Walker... Somehow my Legs Failed for a few Months... I moved into this Old Folks Home and DID THE WALKING using my walker and REHABILITATED MYSELF... I'm not really sure Why my Legs Failed but Just before I Moved here I Smoked a Pound of Oregon Legal Marijuana in Eight Months and then Lived in a Mental Hospital for 15 Days... They Gave me Lithium at the Hospital... and I Suffered an Adverse Reaction... But, I'm In Great Health NOW... I Believe That Marijuana Should Be Legal BUT... I Refuse To Actually Smoke it... Not Healthy for Me... I saw things That Didn't Exist and Experienced Events That Didn't Happen... Maybe it's Good For YOU But Not Me...

I like the fact that some lyrics are Sung over Very Discordant Chords and Others are Very Consonant. Like, Good Ideas are Consonant and Bad Ideas are Discordant... 

I Heard The Chant in the Sixties: Originally it was: "Hey, Hey, LBJ, How Many Kids Did You Kill Today?"

I Intentionally Misquoted the NRA Slogan: "Guns Don't Kill People, Bullets Kill People"
