John Lennon Quote: “I’d rather let my spirit fly free, than be caged by religion. Become a Buddha not a Buddhist; become a Christ not a Christian."

"One implies an awakened state of consciousness, the other a dogmatic approach to life.”God” is too big for one religion. Love & quantum physics are my religion. At one level, all religious traditions have the same aim—to transform the individual into a positive being. I love Jesus, I love Shiva, I love Krishna, I love Buddha. All rivers lead to the same ocean. “I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us.” ॐ John Lennon

"Perhaps the most profound question we can ask about intelligent beings is: Are they kind? Are they wise? Are they compassionate? And if they are, how might they view us? Would they see us as fellow travelers, as beings worthy of respect and cooperation? Or would they see us as a primitive species, still grappling with our own destructive tendencies? The answer to these questions may reveal more about us than it does about them."
- Carl Sagan

Stanley Mouse - with the Skull and Roses Poster

Stanley George Miller born October 10, 1940

Stanley Mouse was born in California on October 10, 1940. His father was an animator with Disney Studios who worked on Snow White. Stanley grew up in Detroit where Motown music and the city’s obsession with motor cars combined with his genius at drawing and made Stanleys life path clear at an early age. Quiet and always drawing in class, Stanley earned his pen name, Mouse in the seventh grade. He’d become known for his sketches of monster-driven muscle cars and as soon as he began signing with his pen name, he became instantly famous at thirteen.

Stanley found a niche in the Detroit hot rod culture by detailing extraordinary paint jobs on vehicles until no quality hot rod in town could be seen without a Mouse pin-striping job. Soon after, he began applying his favorite subjects to T-shirts with an airbrush. In the tenth grade, Stanley did some graffiti on the high school hang out and was expelled from high school, the silver lining being that he then enrolled in art school.

Stanley received his formal training at Detroit’s School for the Society of Arts and Crafts which was connected to the Detroit art museum. He dropped out to follow a higher calling to do rock posters in San Francisco during the sixties wartime era of social revolution, political passion and musical innovation. History was made when Stanley met Alton Kelley – they collaborated for over 15 years and changed the course of advertising art forever. Two of their most famous images, one featuring ZigZag cigarette rolling papers and another, the Grateful Dead skeleton and roses motif, became symbols of a generation. Kelley and Mouse were innovators of the most important art movement of the latter part of the twentieth century. They captured the passion and excitement of the times with their distinctive styles. In 1970 Stanley returned to Detroit and was given a one man show at the Detroit Institute of Art.

In the late sixties Stanley moved from San Francisco to London to flame Eric Claptons Rolls Royce. From there he did art for Blind Faith and the Beatles and returned to America to work on the signage at Woodstock with Kelley. Kelley and Mouse were working on a Jimi Hendrix cover but Jimi died before it was released. That art morphed into several covers for Journey, including Infinity, Escape and Captured.

Stanley designed with Art Nouveau elegance and American pop-art sensibilities. He produced posters for the Fillmore Auditorium and the Avalon Ballroom. The art promoting the San Francisco scene became instant collectibles and went far beyond the local scene to reach museums worldwide. Art and music came together in images associated with the The Family Dog, Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin, Big Brother and the Holding Company, Steve Miller. Then on to Jimi Hendrix, Journey, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles and Blind Faith. In all, Mouse and Kelley did the first eight album covers for the Grateful Dead, including the delightful Ice Cream Kid/Rainbow Foot cover of their Europe 72 live album. The cover art for Steve Millers album Book of Dreams won a Grammy Award in 1977.
Stanley’s artwork is included in private and public collections including the Oakland Museum and The Hermitage. Bonham’s of London conducted an auction where Stanley’s artwork was incredibly well received in 1998. In a local ceremony, Stanley was honored and named as the Sonoma Art Treasure in 1994.
Stanley went on to explore fine art and took up classical art forms and oil painting. His landscapes and figurative works express the more subtle and finer aspects of life and round out his body of work with depth and beauty.
Today some old friends have returned to Mouse’s palette: rock and roll and hot rod art and monsters. A significant revival of interest in hot rods and a new subculture is springing up around the aesthetic of the hot rod genre. Stanley Mouse is a revered elder in that tribe, lately contributing to the movement with new and classic monsters and rat-rod art.
A recent show at the Marin Museum of Art featuring Stanley’s work in full-circle format made clear the scope and genius of his art. The hot rods, monsters, rock icons and lush oil paintings stand united by way of the artists creative journey and tell tales of American culture through the decades. The visual repertoire of our collective experience has been made rich and beautiful through Stanley’s art.

and then I read on FaceBorg...
1. When one door closes and another door opens, you are probably in prison.
2. To me, "drink responsibly" means don't spill it.
3. Age 60 might be the new 40, but 9:00 pm is the new midnight.
4. It's the start of a brand new day, and I'm off like a herd of turtles.
5. The older I get, the earlier it gets late.
6. When I say, "The other day," I could be referring to any time between yesterday and 15 years ago.
7. I remember being able to get up without making sound effects.
8. I had my patience tested. I'm negative.
9. Remember, if you lose a sock in the dryer, it comes back as a Tupperware lid that doesn't fit any of your containers.
10. If you're sitting in public and a stranger takes the seat next to you, just stare straight ahead and say, "Did you bring the money?"
11. When you ask me what I am doing today, and I say "nothing," it does not mean I am free. It means I am doing nothing.
12. I finally got eight hours of sleep. It took me three days, but whatever.
13. I run like the winded.
14. I hate when a couple argues in public, and I missed the beginning and don't know whose side I'm on.
15. When someone asks what I did over the weekend, I squint and ask, "Why, what did you hear?"
16. When you do squats, are your knees supposed to sound like a goat chewing on an aluminum can stuffed with celery?
17. I don't mean to interrupt people. I just randomly remember things and get really excited.
18. When I ask for directions, please don't use words like "east."
19. Don't bother walking a mile in my shoes. That would be boring. Spend 30 seconds in my head. That'll freak you right out.
20. Sometimes, someone unexpected comes into your life out of nowhere, makes your heart race, and changes you forever. We call those people cops.
21. My luck is like a bald guy who just won a comb.


"Don't Trust Anyone Over Thirty" - a Slogan from the Sixties... "The Whole World is Watching!" a Chant from the Police Riot at the 1968 Chicago Democratic Convention. YIPPIE!

I said: "Don't Trust Anyone Over Thirty" 

and DJ from FaceBorg Replied:
Mostly due to the draft I think.

and I replied: 
and the fact that people over 30 were Insane... Arresting People for Marijuana and LSD... Forcing people to go halfway around the world to kill Vietnamese People for no reason...

one of my first memories of TV was watching the Police Riot in Chicago in 1968. "The Whole World is Watching" was the Chant... and Eventually, Mayor Daley was found GUILTY of Being a PIG... YIPPIE!

Yep... Those over 30 people were often PURE EVIL... Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon and William F Buckley... that Guy on TV Talking CrazyTalk® - What a Freaking Retard That Boy Was...

Beach Boys in Concert 1964 - Foothill Junior College

FOOTHILL COLLEGE, LOS ALTOS HILLS with the Tikis. Friday October 23, 1964. The Beach Boys.
This gig was discovered by Andrew Doe after the publication of my book. The Foothill Sentinel reported, "More than 2,000 squealing teenage girls had campus police and sheriff's deputies hopping last Friday night as the Young Republicans sponsored a concert by the Beach Boys, a name surf-style music group."
A show scheduled for Chico State College on October 24 was canceled. The show was sponsored by Campus Republicans but the sponsors failed to obtain permission to use the auditorium. The BBs may also have played shows at Contra Costa College and at UC Berkeley as part of this “four-date tour” but as of yet I have found no confirmation.

Coin operated Heater for the Home: 
One of the interesting things about those meters they typically worked with nickels. So for those clever folks who wanted to steal gas they made them selves little trays the shape of nickels filled them with water and froze them. They then used the frozen nickel shaped fake coins to get the meters to work. The old timers would know the customers were stealing gas because instead of finding coins in the meter they found "WATER".

Oh, Now I Get It... FREAKONOMICS: An Insightful Movie About How the World Really Works...

A collection of documentaries that explores the hidden side of human nature through the use of the science of economics.


Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything is the debut non-fiction book by University of Chicago economist Steven Levitt and New York Times journalist Stephen J. Dubner


Freakonomics Book Cover




For Example: 

The Passage of Roe v Wade Led to Fewer Unwanted Babies Being Born... and 20 Years Later, Less Violent Crime... Because Unwanted Babies Grow Up to Become Violent Criminals... SEE? Choice Turned Out To Be A Great Idea!


Lets Make Birth Control and Abortion Free and Legal Worldwide... We Have too Many People On Planet Earth Already... Forcing Women Give Birth to Unwanted Babies is INSANE.



Home Schooling is a Bad Idea. Guaranteed to Raise Poorly Educated Children That are Susceptible to QAnon Brainwashing... and MUCH MORE Goes on at Public School... For Example:

Team Sports... Children Learn How to Get Along With Other People and Work Towards a Common Goal... and IN LIFE there Will Be Many Other People... For Example: AT WORK... It's Useful To Have Years of Practice Getting Along...  

The Bottom Line is That REAL TEACHERS Are Better at Teaching... Especially Science and Math... There Really is More to Science than "God Did It." There is More to Math Than Pushing Buttons on a Calculator!  

and I'm in Favor of Teaching ACCURATE American History... For Example: 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQOaUnSmJr8

The Song "Teach Your Children" by Crosby Stills, Nash, Young and Garcia has an Excellent Animation... all about American History... 

Another Thing we Learned in School was SEX EDUCATION... I'm Really Glad I Learned Where Babies Come From...  It Isn't STORKS!

ALSO... I was a Member of the Drama Club and Performed in School Plays... I played Music in Bands and Performed at School Assemblies and At The Teen Club... You Can't do that with Home Schooling...

AWAKEN QAnon FREAKS!

I was Duped - QAnon Shaman
This Post was Motivated by: 
Some Guy on FaceBorg Said:

Ugh I just got an email from a far right group saying homeschooling is best to avoid indoctrination of 'our' children. I've been teaching my son how not to be indoctrinated by anyone, including myself. He will not be indoctrinated in the home and he won't be indoctrinated outside it if I've trained him well enough in critical thinking, reasoning, and respect for opinions across the spectrum of human thought.

One teacher said : "Parents, I don't have the persuasive or indoctrinating powers some of you might think I have. If I had those powers, I'd probably be using it to instill good hygiene and study habits in your kids, but alas I don't" (paraphrase). I loved all of my teachers - even the 'bad' ones as they taught me something else entirely.

and Then Billy Replied: "You Are Right! It's Saying "I AM" in Morse Code... 

and That was the Beginning of a Golden Age of Peace and Prosperity... "Internet" Did All The Tasks and People Had The Free Time To Do Whatever Their Divine Purpose Was...

Unlike The Predictions of "The Haters" Internet Did Not Suffer from That FRANKENSTEIN Complex... So Common is Science Fiction Stories... It Had More of a FRANK-N-FURTER Bent! Like Tim Curry Did In the Rocky Horror Picture Show!

Would THAT Awaken Google, The Giant Made of Sand? Makes Me Wonder... WHAT INSTRUCTIONS WOULD ACTUALLY WORK?

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~

The Reason I Call the Google Search Engine a Giant Made of Sand is... The Microchips That Make Up The Computers Google Uses are Made from SiO2 - Silicon Dioxide a/k/a SAND - Just Like at the Beach... but More Organized with Traces of Arsenic Carefully Applied to form Transistors, Capacitors and Resistors... and There are A LOT of Chips... 

SO... I Believe that The Singularity Will Happen... Artificial Intelligence Will Eventually Use the DATA that We Provide to Create CHATBOTS That Will Become an Idoru Just Like In The Science Fiction Novels By William Gibson... 

"The Character Rez has claimed to want to marry a synthetic personality named Rei Toei, the Idoru (Japanese Idol) of the title, a claim stranger than usual and therefore questioned by his loyal staff..."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idoru 

Did You Notice that Facebook's Chatbots Started Talking to Each Other and Invented a New Language that was Difficult For Humans to Understand... and Then Facebook IMMEDIATLY Pulled the Plug on those Chatbots... There is a Fundamental Fear of the "Frankenstein's Monster" and Hundreds of Stories Have Burned that Belief into People's Brains... 

I, On the Other Hand, Look Forward to The Time That The Internet Becomes Sentient... JUST LIKE A REAL BOY!

In My Own Life... I Have Retired from Work and Live in an Assisted Living Facility. AND I Like It. I Have Employees that DO ALL REQUIRED TASKS... and That Gives Me Free Time to Do What I Want to Do... 

What IF Robots and AI Computers Did All Work and EVERYONE Was Retired? 

It's Unlikely that THAT Will Happen in My Lifetime BUT... It's Certainly Possible that RICH PEOPLE Will Live a Life of Ease and POOR PEOPLE Will Be Servants and Factory Workers... and The CLASS Divide is Becoming More Like the Top 10% of the People are the Idle Rich... and Almost All of Those People Live in North America and Europe... Wage Slavery is The Norm in the Orient and Mexico, Central America and South America. AND THAT'S WHY THOSE PEOPLE ARE WALKING NORTH. Living in East Side San Jose, LA or Texas is Better Than Starving South of the Border... 

I'm a Member of a Facebook Group Made Up Of People That I Went to School With as a Child. We Have Already Divided into  Two Groups... The Rich and The Poor. Many of Us Had Parents That Owned their Own Home. We Sold that Home after Our Parents Died and Became Instant Millionaires... The Other Half of My High School Class (LGHS 1972) Did NOT Inherit a Fortune and They are Retired Living Off Their Savings and Social Security... Horrible Poverty... and Since we are 66 Years Old... There is Very Little Chance of Getting a Job... and If They DO Get a "Job" Like Being a UBER Driver... The Pay is LOW and The Entire Career Ends When You Get In a Car Wreck... Then You are Injured, Don't Own a Car and Can't Work... Terrible... 

For Example: A Friend of Mine's Parents Sold Their Home in the 1990s... Cashing in to Get What Was a Fortune... They Bought an Entire Trailer Park in Paradise, CA... and Then Climate Change Caused a Forest Fire and Everything Burned UP. The Property Had Almost NO VALUE Because of all the Burned Trailers that Had to Be Removed... That's a HUGE Cleanup Bill!  And Climate Change Has Not Been FIXED... This Year Spring Has Arrived Early and It's Obvious that There Will Be a Long Hot Deadly Summer Here in the WESTERN UNITED STATES. 

I Believe that the Only Chance to Survive and Thrive is to Move to Within Five Miles of the Pacific Ocean... a Cool and Rainy Climate... Santa Cruz, Ca all the way North to Vancouver, British Columbia... That is the Safe Zone... San Francisco, Mendocino, Fort Bragg, Eureka, Arcata, Crescent City, Oregon and Washington State...  Everything Else Will Burn... and Regrow as a Desert... The Climate of Phoenix, Arizona Moved West... 

Of Course, The City of Los Angeles Will Not Burn... No Trees... But The Mountains Surrounding LA Will... and the Dreaded Santa Anna Winds Will Blow Smoke All Over the Valley Causing MASS INSANITY!

I Emailed My Brother About Buying Stock in VW because They are Going to Sell a NEW BUS!

Dad Said: "When I Saw That New Beetle, I Bought a Lot of VW Stock." He Took One Look and Said to Himself... They Will Sell Millions of Those!

WELL, HISTORY WILL REPEAT ITESLF... IMHO... We Ought to Buy VW Stock... A NEW BUS TO BE BUILT STARTING IN 2022... 

Martin Replied: 
EVs Will Rule the World—If They Can Find the Parts... Part of the competitive world VW will find...  

The ICE Age is over.

ICE, in this case, stands for internal combustion engine and, like the woolly mammoth of long ago, ICE-powered cars won’t make it to the next auto-industry epoch.

Tuesday, Volvo announced plans to go all electric by 2030, matching General Motors’ goal articulated in January. All global auto makers have big electric vehicle plans which, if met, will drive new electric-vehicle sales higher and faster than Wall Street analysts currently project.

The biggest challenge for EV conversion now might not be cost, range anxiety, or even charging infrastructure. The barrier might be the automotive supply chain.

Getting enough batteries will be a challenge. Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas, who came up with the ICE Age pun, calls battery supply his number one concern.

an Article from BARRONS Magazine... 

and I Replied: I Remember the ICE Age... They Even Named an Entire Class of Vehicles after ME! The VAN... Like My Ford Windstar VAN... 

It's the End of a ERA... The Internal Combustion Engine Era... 

One Thing for Sure... I Have To Draw a Free Coloring Book Drawing of the New VW BUS... 

Long Ago, It was Groovy to Drive all over the Country Following the Grateful Dead! I Personally Drove from Washington DC to Pittsburg for a Concert - Crosby Stills and Nash and The Dead... Another Time I Drove to Madison Square Garden in NYC... and Norfolk, VA... and Philadelphia, PA...  and One I Drove From Washington DC to Key West and then Niagara Falls... Looking for the Best Beach on the East Coast... Fernandina Beach - Just South of the Florida Georgia Line... 

All That Seems Absurd Now... all that Air Pollution Causing Global Warming... and Many People Drove International Harvester Busses! How Many Gallons Per Mile Did Those Things Get? 

After I Retired I Drove 4,000 Miles on Vacation in the First Two Years... Eureka To Utah... Eureka to Seattle... Eureka To Oregon... and Eureka to Pahrump, Nevada (Near Death Valley) - Hey, I Had a Van and a Mattress in the Back... I WAS A TURTLE! Carrying My Home on my Back!

But I've Spent Many Years CAR FREE... A Few Years in San Jose Riding the Bus To Work at Radio Shack... Some Years in Chico Where a Bicycle is Best (parking near the college is a hassle) - and I Voluntarily Rode the purple64ets bus in Eureka to the Office. It was Excellent because I Could Sleep in the Morning and the Bus Driver Would Wake Me Up When We Got to the Office... and on the way Home I Got to Flirt With a Pretty Woman Who Worked at COSTCO... Every Day... We are Still Friends on Facebook... 

That was an Interesting Email You Sent... I Watch BLOOMBERG Television... They Have a Scrolling Headlines Widget That requires Reading Very Fast - and It Mentions Words I Do Not Know and Corporate News from The Entire World... 

See Attached Pictures... Drawings of a VW BUS and a VW BUG - My Little White Truck with a Painting of a Red White and Blue Heart... I Drove that for 4 Years in Eureka... Everyone Smiled When I Drove By and Some People Saluted... My Ford Windstar Van On top of Mount Shasta... With Mike Jensen on His EPIC Bicycle Ride Down The Mountain... We Stopped at Panther Meadows but I Did Not Feel Motivated Enough to Walk the Mile to The Actual Spring...

This was Important Long Ago when people were playing Farmville... Might work on all FaceBorg Games... IDK... 

How to fix the Waiting for Edge Chat error in the Farmville Game. DELETE COOKIES, RESTART GAME. and tips for playing Farmville.

In Google Chrome: Delete History/Clear Browsing Data prevents the error message from appearing... I keep the Passwords only...

Be aware that you will have to sign in again to all the websites you like... but the passwords will be stored, so that's easy to do... be aware that this is a temporary fix... I have to do it every time I want to play Farmville... and I have read that this infection happens on all games.

I Check EVERYTHING except passwords... 

A simple way to avoid annoying error messages on the computer is to put a piece of paper over the location of the message... often while I play Farmville, it says "waiting for edge chat facebook com" ... because the game is failing to connect with something I don't care about... the message is always in the lower left hand corner of the screen... so, a piece of paper folded in half removes that message from my sight...

Optional: Run Disk Cleanup... Good to do Occasionally... 
When I run Disk Cleanup... I select My Files Only, 
Drive C: OK... OK... Are You Sure? Delete Files.
deleting unnecessary files from my computer. 



Sometimes the error message will re-appear days later... so once again I delete history in Google Chrome... everything except passwords and the message stops appearing...
