Biology Students! Shared Root Systems Experiment: What if we planted Cannabis and Heavenly Blue Morning Glories in the same dirt as Psilocybin?

Would a new life form evolve? 

Bury an americium-241 Radioactive Element from a Smoke Detector in the Dirt. Place a Beehive nearby to enable pollinization. Heavenly Blue Morning Glory Seeds contain LSA- a known Psychedelic... 

This Would Be a Great Biology Project for 3 Units Undergraduate College Credit. Graphs, Charts, Photos, Seeds, Spores and Interviews with Human Test Subjects required.

Arcata, CA Decriminalizes Possession of Psychedelics - Nixon's Crazy "War on Drugs" is OVER! - His Plan Eventually Failed... But Not Before it did Horrible Damage to the USA...

The bill makes it lawful to possess for personal use or facilitated and supported use psilocybin, psilocyn, dimethyltryptamine (DMT), ibogaine, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) and mescaline, by and with persons 21 years of age or older.

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

How to Get Here... Simply Drive over the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco and Keep On Truckin... Arcata is on Highway 101 Just Past Eureka... If You End Up in Oregon, You have Gone too Far... 

Of Course... Psychedelics are Also Decriminalized in Oakland and Santa Cruz... a Much Shorter Drive if You are Starting from the San Francisco Bay Area...

 I took an LSD trip at UC Santa Cruz and when I was walking thru the music department I noticed a small practice room that was half filled with balloons. I asked a student what it was and he said it was for dancing in. So I went in and danced. The balloons bounced around and filled the room... Just another goofy thing hippies made for silly amusement. That trip started early in the morning when a student named "Organic" Kim and I each ate two small brown squares of gelatin called 4 way windowpane. The reason It was called 4 way windowpane ws that if you cut the drug into 4 pieces then 4 people could take a trip. So we ate enough for eight people. We were walking down a trail and came to an intersection of another trail and we sat down. He was upset because he thought that I was mocking him by repeating what he said in a silly voice... I didn't understand what he was feeling and when accused, I said: "Mocking you?" and that accidentally confirmed exactly what he was feeling... so we agreed to turn and follow different paths... we were at a CROSSROADS of the paths and we were at a CROSSROADS of our trip. I never saw him again except I heard him while he was taking a shower in the apartment and he was screaming... I don't know why but it could be the water was too high a temperature or it could be that he was just having a bad trip... Much later I got on the student bus that went across campus and asked the driver to let me off at "The Maze" and the other passengers made fun of me because my tone of voice sounded so stoned... Like, wow, man... the MAZE... Can You drop me off at, likke, THE MAZE? FYI: The Maze was a wooden maze constructed out of plywood sheets and I'm really glad I never FOUND the maze because it would be Hell to be stoned on Acid and Lost in a maze...

Other classmates of mine from High School attended UCSC and I wanted to also but my grades were not good enough to get into the University of California. So I went to Chico State instead. During the Senior year at Los Gatos High School our math teacher had us all join the math club and all members were called "The President" and got a certificate... That way when students were applying to Ivy League Schools, they could put down on their application their they were "The President of the Math Club"... It was an introduction to "Gaming the System"... a concept that we would all use later in life... I remember Gaming the System when I was writing my website and wanted the Google search engine to make my website popular... I uploaded every tag and keyword from every blog post into a blog post that had a menu of my most popular posts. That way, whenever a person typed anything that had those keywords into the Google search engine, my blog post would appear as a result. That trick got me about a thousand visitors a day... I was Gaming the System and doing what they call SEO, Search Engine Optimization.

and then That Trick Failed to Work!  I Believe it's because Google Changed the Algorithm because of ME! 

I'm so proud! I did that "White Hat Hacker" Thing by revealing a flaw in their Program and they FIXED the Problem!

TRUMP HAS DEMENTIA... I believe him when he says "He Can't Remember" over thirty times in Written Answers to Mueller's Questions. OLD PEOPLE GET LIKE THAT... THEY CAN'T REMEMBER WHERE THEY ARE OR WHO THEIR CHILDREN ARE... OR ANYTHING...

My Dad was like that in his last year of life... He would ask "Where am I?" about every 15 minutes... and I would answer "You are at Home..." and that would set his mind at ease... 

Trump is SHOWING SIGNS OF MENTAL ILLNESS... He has Absurd Ideas, He thinks that Scary Brown People are invading the USA... Wow... He claims that one of his Biggest Accomplishments is a Trade Agreement That DOES NOT ACTUALLY EXIST... USMCA is not REAL Yet... NAFTA is the Current Law of the Land...

#ImpeachTrump 

Is Trump on Suicide Watch? He Seems So Sad Lately... Is There Anyone Protecting Him? So Much Losing... Might Cause Mental Health Problems...

The Best Solution would be for him to Resign and Go to a Mental Hospital.

READ MORE of My Autobiography: https://gvan42.blogspot.com/2018/03/growing-up-in-los-gatos-california-in.html

Typical Paragraph from my Autobiography...
I delivered the Los Gatos Times - Observer Newspaper. My Route was on University Ave between Highway 9 and Blossom Hill Road. I Remember Rolling Newspapers and My Hands Turned Black from the Ink. I wore a Big Canvas Bag - Delivered on my bicycle. Had to COLLECT the Money! I Hated That. and Had to go Solicit New Subscribers... One time on Summit Road a Dog Bit Me but I Didn't Bleed. I Can't Imagine NOWADAYS a Corporation Sending Children TRESPASSING to Sell a Product... Obvious Danger from Guard Dogs.

At Fisher Junior High School, My Favorite Teacher was Mr Fortier - He Made us Write Essays about Posters on the Wall. One was a Red White and Blue Swastika in a Flag Motif... another was The "Solarized" Photo of the Grateful Dead Standing in front of Little Boxes type Houses in South San Francisco. I chose the Flag Swastika because I did not know who the Grateful Dead Were... Maybe I'm Spelling His Name Wrong: Pronounced: For Tea Yeah... and... Isidro Maytorena...

All about Homelessness in Los Gatos:
Do you remember when... ...Los Gatos had one homeless guy? The "town bum" to be politically incorrect about it. I used to remember his name. He walked up to me once at LGHS and asked drunkenly, "Do you have the year?" ...the woods between HWY 17 and LGHS were called "'Nam"? ...two smoking sections... The upper one for artsy New-wavers, and the lower one for the Stoners? ..getting suspended by Mr McCloskey? ...Super Big Gulps at the 7/11 on LG Blvd were for some reason less expensive than a regular Big Gulp? ...S.T.A.N.D.? (the funniest think I ever saw scribbled onto a desk at LGHS would have been in about 1985.. S.I.T.D.O.W.N. - Students Into Total Destruction of the World Now) Steve Wells I believe the homeless guy died in a fire under part of 17 along the creek trail maybe 20 years ago. He was asleep and his sleeping bag caught fire. There was a homeless woman in the 80s named Joan. Steve Wells https://apnews.com/ed4722ce15a05208df9a41fa44d80272 Guitar Craftsman Dies in Homeless Camp Fire Steve Wells I was told by Tom at 7-11 (old guy with skin cancer on nose) that Joan had a PhD and somehow went downhill. I used to get her a bite to eat and a drink once in a while in the late 80s. Scott Peronto There were a few others in the late 70s besides Warren. Old Ed made his living painting portraits. He was a really friendly guy. I let him hang out at the magazine rack in the 7-11 during my shifts. He told me once he had been a Marine fighting in the Pacific during WWII. He was on an island hopping campaign on Sabu. He had a carton of cigarettes in his backpack and he was hiding behind a stump. They were firing at him with a machine gun and it was shredding the carton of cigarettes. They were flying every where but he never got hit. Don't know what ever happened to Old Ed. He was quite a guy. Jason Matthews Steve Wells I remember Joan vividly I worked downtown in 2005 at harvest home stores and she would say “ do you have a dollar for food” if u said no she called you stupid Jason Matthews Steve Wells I gave her a dollar once and she pulled out a fat wad to count it Steve Wells Jason Matthews think I had a similar response to generosity. Wes Tietzen In the fifties a number of men lived under the viaduct on 17 in the winter and camped on a meadow close to the creek in good weather.As kids we were a bit apprehensive but nothing ever came of it. Not a homeless man by any stretch, Pete the Hermit lived on the opposite side of the ridge overlooking Cypress.Ranch. He had a little cabin that was trashed after his death. Somewhere in the archives there should be mention of him. Did the police in LG give floaters to the transients? I suspect so but I may be wrong.Overall, those were bucolic times in LG.The last time I was in LG a woman living in a gated McMansion on Kennedy Road declared I had no right walking on a public road and causing her dogs to bark. That's just one of the reasons I avoid the Excited States. Evan Lloyd Indian Pete we used to call him. Urban legend of his fortune being buried up there under the remains of his cabin behind 4 trees. I never found it and I looked... lol Eric Sanders I wonder what happened to Lark Ave Louie he would sweep in front of Jiffy and Gremic while telling me wisdom. Yes i remember Nam and madness that went down in there. Smoking sections-use to skate from the upper one by art building down through the qu…See More Dan Koolstra Eric Sanders thanks for the reminder. I remember seeing him outside sweeping all the time . Eric Sanders Dan Koolstra Yeah Louie was a sweeping mastercraftsman. Hung out with him often and just listened to what he had to say. Dan Koolstra Eric Sanders im thinking late 70s maybe but definately through the 80s Jim Bond Eric Sanders I remember standing in the outside basketball court for P.E. and seeing your brother Phill doing a wheelie with a girl on the back of his bike!!! I thought how COOL!!!! He was on a Yamaha TT 500 or 250 not sure? Years later I got to know Phill better through Jon Felock.i also remember Phill on a Suzuki GSXR 1200..... it was fast!!!! I also remember doing a lot riding with Phill in Hollister.....your brother was a great friend!!!!!! Maria Webber Dan Koolstra yes definately in the 80s is when I remember 'Louie the bum' as we called him back then. My much older brothers knew him but I was little and he kind of scared me. They told me he fried his brain on acid...I don't even think I knew what that meant back then lol Lee Poland What's up Eric? It's been a long time. Sheldon Cooper Jim Bond Felick wa a fool, hung out with another loser, Willie Buhl whom I had the pleasure of pounding one day years later near Enco/Exxon. Sheldon Cooper Felock, that is. What a set of loser tools they were. Eric Sanders Jim Bond if memeory serves it was a GS1150ES Suzuki. And the other was his TT500. He would do wheelie's down Shannon from about the 7-11 to the firestation. Sure do miss him. He was a jokester and knew how to ride that bike. Evan Lloyd What about the guy we called Foot in the early eighties? Sheldon Cooper Evan Lloyd I remember Foote. Worked for my brother's landscaping co. Nancy Hill I thought there was guy named Dave that lived behind Fosters Freeze. They would pay him with food to sweep up back there. Circa 1978-81 Laura Whiteman Qanadilo Nancy Hill he smelled so bad! Holly Finelli Do you remember that guy came to the school that gave a presentation on Cocaine? He said he could put a cloth through one side of his nose and outside the other? I think they made a movie about him. Sean Rector I thought it was an episode of Baretta. Tony something... Bryan P. Lucey Holly Finelli I think his name was Toma. “Toe-ma”. I may have messed up the spelling. I saw that on a video after I graduated. Maybe mid to late 1980s. Holly Finelli Bryan P. Lucey yes! I was going to say Toga. Lol. We could probably Google it. The dude was pretty intense. Holly Finelli Bryan P. Lucey if memory serves me right, I think they had the big drug bust after he left in '86. We graduated the same year. I remember because you spelled my last name wrong on the shirts you made senior year. 🙄 Bryan P. Lucey Holly Finelli I graduated in 1981. I was (and still am) so uninvolved that there is no way I misspelled your name and I am not creative enough to be involved with shirts.With that said, my writing often contains misspellings and typos. Glad to be an accountant. Holly Finelli Bryan P. Lucey haha. Ok. You're off the hook. Bryan P. Lucey Holly Finelli I’m glad. When my name gets misspelled I hate it. Sandy Erickson I remember Toma. He came and did a huge presentation at LGHS, and we got out of class for it. He was kind of like that Chris Farley character on SNL who yelled about living in a van down by the river. At least, that's kind of what he seemed like at the time. Erin Gates Erin Gates Victor? Joko MacKenna I would remember that. Victor would be an odd name for such a person. I'm guessing that the -tor doesn't survive the tribulations of marginalization and they all end up as Vic's. Louie! That was his name. Gretchen Agner Erin Gates I remember Victor. Terry Laucher I knew Victor. He was not a bum or anything like that. I dont know where he lived, thought he spent a lot of time downtown. Very frrail, usually with some kind of straw hat, always clean. Usually a pair of khakis and nice sweater. Must have had a decent place to live. He was just an old man (in his 80;s) who walked around town cleaning paper off the sidewalk I'll bet he live in a home who gave him freedom as long as he did not get into trouble. He did have some mental frailty. I was 18 working at the LG theater and he passed by many times around 1961 Terry Laucher I am trying to remember another individual who walked around town, shovel ready, for a job. He carried a shovel over his shoulder and was usually seen in coveralls, and a straw hat. The joke was that he was ready to work, although mentally he may not have been. Guys like this were seen to be mentally challenged, or just different, instead of using a pejorative description such as bum. Pamela Dishman-Emard Terry Laucher Victor was always nice to me. He let me kiss him on the cheek one day, thanking him for being the town's steward. He might have been viewed as a 'nut case' by some, but I always thought he was the Town's indispensable "clean up man." He'd just die seeing them crap human waste on the streets now.🙃 Tim Mcguire Terry Laucher Victor was far from homeless. He lived on my street Fairview plaza in a big Victorian with his sister. He was a Los Gatos treasure! Gerhard Donner Greg Stokes Pamela Dishman-Emard I was an Artsy-Stoner who smoked wherever. Quit that shit a long time ago, not the Art.😎 Martin King I walked through "Nam" in Mr. Verkyle's class. Hung out with the smokers by the art wing.

Gregory Laan: I was Homeless in Los Gatos Briefly. It was the Summer after I was fired from my Job at Radio Shack for Drinking on the Job and Stealing Money. I moved to Chico and Lived in Cheap Motels until my money ran out. Then I spent 4 Months living in Bidwell Park and when The Money Came in from my Sale of Radi Shack Stock... I took a lot of Greyhound Bus Rides... Including a Trip to Santa Cruz and then Los Gatos... I did not want to Talk to my Parents so I slept Near the Baseball Field near the Freeway... However , I Preferred Chico so I back got on the Bus... I went to Three Alcoholics Anonymous Meetings A DAY for months... Quit Drinking, Met My Latest Wife and Eventually Moved to Amazing Arcata to Learn Computer Science at Humboldt State University... Got a Job at the Welfare Department Helping Homeless People... Hey, I Had Knowledge about the Subject, Having Been "House Free" myself... Ironically, Stealing Money from Radio Shack allowed me to have enough money to Invest in the Stock Purchase Plan... Yes, Crime Pays...

Why Does tRUMP LIE SO MUCH? Is It Because He Has Lost Contact With Reality? Just Does Not Know Fact From Fantasy? Mental Illness? 25th Amendment?

https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/21/politics/fact-check-trump-cabinet-meeting-20-false/index.html

Fact check: Trump made at least 20 false claims in angry Cabinet monologue... Is He Insane? Out of His FREAKING MIND?

Addicted to Profit: A CURE for COMPULSIVE HOARDING OF MONEY SYNDROME... the Mental Health Disease that is Causing the Destruction of the USA. Exploration of "REGROOVING" - First Suggested by Satire Comedy Group "Firesign Theater"

Regrooving involves using Psychedelics and Brainwashing to Change the Worldview of Corporate-Corporate Greed Freaks to become more "Groovy." MIGHT WORK! Take for example the People that Made Oxycontin... They now plan to settle with consumers and the surviving relatives of people who died by paying $12 Billion Dollars in  Damages. Well, why did they continue to promote their drug after it was OBVIOUS that people were dying? 400,000 People... In Comparison: 58,000 People Died in the Vietnam War... So the Opioid Crisis is as Bad as 6 Vietnam Wars... Answer: They Were Addicted to Profit...

"Temporarily Humboldt County"
The first section runs 9 min 14 sec, and satirizes the displacement of the American Indians (David Ossman and Phil Austin), first by Spanish conquistadors, then by American frontiersmen, and finally by the US government forcing them onto a reservation, which it uses as a "cobalt testing range". The title comes from friends of the Firesign Theatre telling them that the local Indians in Humboldt County, California added "temporarily" to the name as a way of saying no one could really own the land. The section ends with a bomb explosion, followed by the sound of wind blowing.

"W. C. Fields Forever"
This 7 min 39 sec track continuously segues as the Indians wander silently through the desert and come upon Peter Bergman welcoming them to the "Lazy Ol' Magic Circle Dudes Ranch and Collective Love Farm", a hippie commune. The commune's spiritual leader, the perpetually drunk/stoned "Tiny Doctor Tim" (Proctor), is a parody of Timothy Leary. Philip Proctor's impersonation of W. C. Fields actually appeared on the first track, dedicating the cobalt testing range; this track title parodies the Beatles song "Strawberry Fields Forever".

"Le Trente-Huit Cunegonde"
This 7 min 19 sec track continuously segues into a future world in which the 1960s hippie counterculture has now replaced the mainstream cultural establishment. Police (Proctor and Bergman) patrol searching for "non-groovy" people not in possession of drugs, such as a grandmother (Austin) whom they arrest to be "returned for re-grooving". A teenager named Malcolm X John Lennon (Austin) is still being breast-fed by his mother (Proctor), and gets in trouble with his school principal (Proctor) for studying instead of hanging out and "relating" with his peers by smoking marijuana. A US senator who sounds like Robert Kennedy (Proctor) chairs a committee which also returns people for re-grooving, and the "Secretary of Peace" (Ossman) directs bomber aircraft to drop copies of Naked Lunch on Nigeria.

Side two: "Waiting for The Electrician or Someone Like Him" [1]
This single, 17 min 48 sec track begins as a Turkish language instruction record, and immediately follows its listener on a Kafkaesque trip overseas. An unnamed innocent (Austin) is manipulated by mysterious strangers and authority figures into situations beyond his control. (In the written script, the character is called simply "P." for Phil, a reference to Kafka's use of "K." in The Castle.)

A highlight of side two is the "Beat the Reaper" sketch, a mock game show in which the contestant (Austin) is injected with a disease and must guess what it is in order to win the antidote; if the contestant fails to self-diagnose, he is sent home with the disease. and Dies!

There is a Mental Health Disease called Autism... Trump and his Band of Flying Monkeys are All in Favor of Doing Evil and Making Other People Suffer.

When We See a Crying Little Girl whose Father was Arrested for Being an Illegal Alien... Most People are Sad... and Outraged... but TrumpNiks Delight in the Crying of Children. That's Because TrumpNiks Are Mentally Ill... How Can We Help Them Awaken?  

Doing Good and Opposing Evil is a fine way to live. I often wonder about Republicans and Why they are So Angry all the time... I guess it's because They Know that What They Do and Say is Wrong, and Deep Down Inside they are Ashamed... What must it be Like to Notice that their Beliefs Oppose Sanity and Reality? When we watch TV Shows about Protesting the War in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan... I Remember That It Was Fun to March in the Streets... It must be an Odd Feeling to Remember that They were Totally in Favor of those Disasters... "OOPS, MY BAD... I Failed to Grasp The Concept..." Of Course, They Probably Just Change the Channel to Pro Wrestling... 

I Believe that Pointing at the Moon is a Good Way to Get People to Notice The Moon... Yes, Some Will Only Notice the Finger, But Some Will Look at Where the Finger is Pointing. Actually, I'm NOT Talking About The MOON in this Example... But Talking about Reality, Sanity, Good and Evil. The Words I Write are Pointing at Evil, Exposing Wrong Doing, Attempting to AWAKEN People to Change Their Way of Life. Stop Funding Evil. Stop Speaking Evil. Stop Doing Evil. Just Stop It. Being a #MAGAKiller is NOT a Lot of FUN. Think about it... Really... THINK! You have a Brain in Your Head and Shoes on your feet... OH! The Places You'll GO! With THINKING!

Trump Promotes Mental Health HEALING - Federal Money to be Spent on Patients, Doctors and Hospitals. TrumpCARE Promises to HELP GUN FREAKS before they become #MAGAKillers!

Will Trump Actually DO Anything About MENTAL HEALTH HEALING? He SAYS the Cause of The El Paso #MAGAKiller was Mental Health and Video Games BUT... He Has Taken NO REAL Action to HEAL His "Base" So They Don't Kill Again...

There ARE Cult Deprogramming Services Available and... Everyone says that the El Paso #MAGAKiller LOOKED like he was in a Trance... Like the MKULTRA Programmed Assassin who Shot Robert Kennedy... 

Does anyone know anything about the Imaginary "TrumpCare?" All we know so far is Their Slogan "GET SICK? DIE, LOSER" - It's a SECRET until after the Rigged 2020 Election... THEN, it will be revealed!  The Greatest Healthcare System in the History of Mankind! 

Trump's Family, Staff Should Stage an Intervention for the good of the country. - Nancy Pelosi - Trump's Gone Totally MAD!

Headline: Pelosi says she wishes for family, staff intervention after Trump 'tantrum'... 

U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Thursday that President Donald Trump threw a temper tantrum at a meeting with Democratic congressional leaders a day earlier and that she wished his family or staff would conduct “an intervention” with Trump for the good of the country.

“Again, I pray for the president of the United States. I wish that his family, or his administration, or his staff would have an intervention for the good of the country,” Pelosi told reporters.

Repeal and Replace Trump's "TAX CUT FOR THE RICH" Law. We should do The Exact OPPOSITE! Reduce Taxes on 99% of Americans and Increase Taxes on the Super Rich.

Is there a CURE for Compulsive Hoarding of Money Syndrome? Why would anyone WANT more money when they ALREADY have more than they can POSSIBLY SPEND? It's a Mental Illness... Just Like Hoarding Old Newspapers or Cats... 

Inquiring Minds Want to Know! 

I remember some interesting people I met in the Mental Hospital. Especially the Realtor Woman who lost a Fortune in 2009 due to Bush's Banking Disaster.

Her friends and family also lost their life savings because they invested in Real Estate and then the market melted down... They blamed her for their misfortunes... They had her committed to the Mental Hospital. When we first met she was wearing a Chico State Alumni Shirt and TRANSLUCENT pants... with purple underwear visible. Very Sexy. I also am a Chico State Alumni and Heterosexual... So I Introduced myself. I Listened to her sad tale and told her that she was falsely accused. It was not HER FAULT that the Capitalist System Self Destructed... It was the fault of Executives in the Bank of America and other Wall Street Masters of the Universe... She was one of those classic Sorority Women that make Chico Famous. A Very Beautiful White Person.

There was a teenager that constantly laughed... He insisted that we play loud rap music constantly... When I was in conference with my Psychiatrist I took the boom box away from him and locked the door... because it was MY TIME.

There was an older Black man that insisted we all watch basketball games on the TV in the group room. While we all had a right to select what channel we watched, he was so insistent that we watch basketball that the rest of us gave up... and let him have his was... because otherwise he would get very angry...

And then there was a patient that was a Nurse on the Outside who constantly gave other people free advice... unless the Doctors gave her Heavy Medications that made her sleep all day.  The free advice was really annoying...

The Doctors gave me LITHIUM which made all emotions extremely amplified. If I wasn't crazy before I went in They CERTAINLY gave me Chemicals designed to Drive Me Crazy.

After I left the mental hospital I moved to an old folks home in Orangevale, California. I was in bad physical and mental health.

 I walked using a walker... and I was pretty vague thinking... The drug that the psychiatrist did me temporary harm and My thinking improved greatly as soon as I stopped taking it. I did a lot of walking around the house using my walker and soon I was able to walk normally. My lifestyle was very sedentary and i gained over a hundred pounds. All I did was lie down and watch TV. I also did a lot of meditation. Basically, saying to myself mantras that were supposed to put me in a trance. They all failed. Prayer and meditation have been of no value... no insight... no new ideas... no healing... no nothing. I'm a member of AA and I went to meetings for a year and then switched to NA. In AA there is a tradition that states that AA has NO OPINION about outside issues. For example: Smoking Marijuana is an outside issue. I have gone to many meetings stoned and that's perfectly OK as far as the Group is concerned. So I  switched to NA to try and find a reason to quit smoking weed. I am still looking for any advantage to living a life without smoking marijuana. I still have not found any advantage. I like getting stoned, it is fun... It is possible to take too much and live permanently stoned for months without smoking but... Without weed, life is not as good... It feels good, increases pleasure, makes food more tasty, makes women look prettier and makes playing the piano a wonderful experience... I also miss the boost it has in my creative writing and art. During the last year and a half I have not had any new thoughts. While I was getting stoned I wrote Absurdist Fiction, lyrics, poetry and programmed my computer to create art... Sadly, with a weed free life, the well has dried up. All I do now is write my autobiography and publish my political opinions. I'm living a half life. Many other people are satisfied living as a consumer of Art and Fiction... Watching instead of creating... That's not me.

Recently, I bought an acoustic Guitar and I'm collecting the lyrics and chords to "The Worlds Greatest Songs". That's fun. I'm not writing songs but... I am part of a singing society that meets at the Folsom Senior Center. About 20 of us and a piano player sing traditional songs like "How Much is that Doggie in the Window".

I am having fun writing my autobiography. That is part of my desire for Digital Immortality. When I retired from work I planned to upload every opinion I've ever had and a recollection of every experience. That way, when the internet becomes conscious, I will be ready to be reincarnated as an IDURU... a program that "IS" a person... A concept that I learned from a science fiction book by William Gibson, the father of cyberPunk writing.

In a way, I'm living in "The Matrix" right now as My Body is cared for by Care-Givers and my mind is free to look at the internet, television and books. I am focusing my attention on Illusionary worlds... My home has five people that have dementia... they don't talk or know where they are. My only contact is with the young women who work here as caregivers. They cook, clean and shower the residents. My brother pays the bills using the money I inherited from my dad... The children of the residents also come visit their parents. However, I spend most of my life INSIDE the laptop or TV screen.

I'm working on a Murder Mystery story that I started years ago but I did not write the ending... Who Done IT? I'm having difficulty imagining a great conclusion... So I wrote a bland ending and published it anyway... Maybe thru prayer and meditation I'll think up something...

So, this blog post is about the Labor Union Rally by AFSCME.

I really enjoyed the comments section of the newspaper website. Many people had interesting opinions but... Most of the Conservative Posts were from Anonymous People that used Fake Names and No Photo... Just a Grey Man Icon.  ...and... The Comments seemed to be Copied and Pasted from a Standard Template of Ayn Rand Philosophy. Tea Party Trolls. Paid Puppets of Koch Industries.

What's up with everyone using Secret Identities and Grey Man pictures for your thumbnail? Why not use your real name? Why not Upload a Picture of Yourself? Why be Anonymous when you can be A NOM NOM NOM MOUSE?

'face reality' replied: Bla Bla Bla

greg vanderlaan:
Many Grey Man Commenters are Paid employees of Koch Industries. They refuse to reveal their real names because often ONE employee can post under Many different screen names to give the illusion of a Grass Roots Movement when in fact it's just Astroturf. Come out of the closet 'face reality'... Are you the same person as 'you know why', 'Groff' and 'Go Team' ? Who Are You?

'you know why' Replied: Quack Quack Quack

'Groff' Stated...

'Go Team' Stated...

Some County Employees are Simply Paid Too Much. Dr Phillip Crandall's 2009 salary somehow exceeded $215,000 despite the fact that his position's maximum annual salary is listed as $161,692. I wonder what it is now... If Dr. Phil could somehow squeak by on merely $161,692 we would have enough money to hire security guards... Source: http://www.northcoastjournal.com

I prefer Private Sector jobs like Radio Shack also but they went bankrupt...

guest: 

Hey, Jim dude, you're swinging both ways on this thread. Below you support the generous public employee benefits but here you're critical of the same.

'Hillary didn't either' Replied...

'Curiouser & Curiouser' Summed it all up by Singing: I Don't Want to Work, Just Want to Bang on the Drum All Day! a song by Todd Rundgren...   

Let's make GUNS ILLEGAL. 17 high school kids murdered by gun in Florida...

The NRA is an Evil force in the USA. They support selling guns to mentally ill people. As a matter of fact, Trump signed a bill into law that makes it easier for Mentally Ill People to buy guns. Just Crazy! The Law is Insane!

Write your Representatives in Congress and ask them to take action to prevent mass murder...
