We Certainly Don't Need PEOPLE LIKE THAT in The Future. Israel and Hamas are Killing Each Other. WONDERFUL... I believe there are Bad People on Both Sides. With 8 Billion People Alive Today, I'm Glad they are Taking Action to Reduce the Population! THANKS!

The situation in Israel is a conundrum inside a Catch-22 tied in a Gordian knot that's now turned to SNAFU, balagan, and fauda. You may quote me on that. - anonymous poster on FaceBorg...

Why Not Simply NUKE 'EM? Israel Has the Atom Bomb... Wouldn't TODAY Be a Great Day? 

I guess that the reason they don't is... Doing Traditional Bombing will Kill Enough People... Like Dresden, Germany During WW2... "Slaughterhouse Five" by Kurt Vonnegut is His Science Fiction Memory of Insane Bombing while he Survived in a Basement... 

Remember: The Japanese Had A VERY BAD ATTITUDE Before We Nuked 'em... and then they Woke the F*CK UP and Became rather Nice People... Remember THAT the Next Time You Drive Your Honda... They Freaking EVOLVED!

With 260+ People Dying at a Concert... Rock the Casbah Takes in a Prophetic Meaning! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJ9r8LMU9bQ This video has the Lyrics printed on screen!

and then Liz Merry Posted on FaceBorg:

I am reposting this from a friend's wall. A mutual friend of ours is in the hospital and may not make it. I also just learned my editor at the Red Bluff Daily News passed away suddenly. You just never know, folks. We have done NONE of this, but we need to in the event we go together.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO GET YOUR AFFAIRS IN ORDER!!

Make sure all bank accounts have direct beneficiaries. The beneficiary need only go to the bank with your death certificate and an ID of their own.

TOD = Transfer On Death house deed if you own a home. Completing this document and filing it with your county saves your heirs THOUSANDS. This document allows you to transfer ownership of your home to your designee. All they need to do is take their ID and your death certificate to the county building and the deed is signed over. Doing this will avoid the home having to go through probate.

TOD = also Transfer on Death your auto title(s). You can do that too. All these things will help your heirs avoid the probate process!

Living Will: Allows one to put in writing EXACTLY what you want done in the event you cannot speak for yourself when it comes to healthcare decisions as well as other final decisions.

Durable Power of Attorney: Allows one to designate a person to make legal decisions if one is no longer competent to do so.

Power of Attorney for Healthcare: This document allows one to designate someone to make healthcare decisions for their person.

Last Will and Testament: Designates to whom personal belongings will go too.

Funeral Planning Declaration: allows one to say exactly one’s wishes as far as disposition of the body and the services.

If the above documents are done, you can AVOID probate. If all the above is not done, you have to open an estate account at the bank. All money that doesn’t have direct beneficiaries goes into this account. You have to have an attorney to open the estate account. The attorney also has to publicize your passing in the newspaper or post publication at the county courthouse, to allow anyone to make a claim on your property. - It’s a complete PAIN.

Make a list of all banks and account numbers, all investment institutions with account numbers, lists of credit cards, utility accounts, etc. Leave clear instructions as to how and when these things are paid.

Make sure your heirs knows where life insurance policies are located.

Make 100% sure SOMEONE knows your Apple ID, bank ID account logins and all passwords! A password keeper will streamline that - only one password needed to access all accounts.

Make sure you have titles for all vehicles, campers, etc in the SAME PLACE.

Set up a trust for intended beneficiaries that are too young, and appoint a trustee of said trust.

MOST IMPORTANTLY!!!! - Talk with those closest to you and make all your wishes KNOWN. Talk to those whom you’ve designated, as well as those close to you whom you did not designate. Do this to explain why your decisions were made and to avoid any lingering questions or hurt feelings.

Hope this helps! I also hope this lights a spark to encourage all your friends and family to take care of these things to make it easier for those we all leave behind!

Do it! Start an important conversation with your loved ones.

(REPOST)

and I replied:

This is a useful post... I've done almost all of these but... I need to document all my passwords, usernames... ON a Piece of Paper... One really cool thing I've done is My Royalties from my Zazzle Store are Automatically Deposited into the Bank... So I'll be earning a Profit after I'm Dead... and My Heirs Will Get the Money!

MISSION SAN JOSE.

Mission San Jose was founded on June 11, 1797, by Father Fermin Francisco de Lasuen on a site which was part of a natural highway by way of the Livermore Valley to the San Joaquin Valley.

It is the fourteenth of the 21 Spanish Missions in Alta California. They were founded to secure Spain's claim to this land and to teach the native people Christianity and the Spanish way of life.

A fully developed mission was a self-sustaining village. It was occupied by local natives, a few soldiers, several artisans with families, and one or two priests. According to Spanish law, the mission's lands and resources belonged to the natives and would be put in their control when they had learned to manage themselves in the Spanish way. The Ohlones lived close to the land in harmony with nature, taking what they needed for their sustenance but never wasting irreplaceable resources. Their food included seeds, roots, berries, acorn meal, small game, and seafood.

Three years after the founding of Mission San Jose, several hundred Ohlones had come to live at the Mission. They were introduced to a new way of life by the Spanish Franciscan missionaries. Thousands of cattle roamed the mission ranges. Acres of wheat and other crops were planted and harvested under the direction of the Padres.

The original mission complex consisted of over 100 adobe buildings. Restoration efforts by the Native Sons and Daughters of the Golden West in 1915 and 1950 saved the surviving portion of the mission wing and converted it into a museum set in gracious surroundings of flowers and palm trees.

In 1956, the town of Mission San Jose incorporated with four others to become the City of Fremont. Plans to reconstruct the church of Mission San Jose were launched in 1973. The Victorian Rectory was relocated to nearby Anza Street and the Gothic wooden church was moved to San Mateo where it has been restored as a house of worship by an Anglican church group.

Though the pueblo (city) of San Jose was founded 13 miles south near the Guadalupe River, the only connection between the pueblo and the Old Mission is that both were named in honor of St. Joseph.

and on Tribel RD Said:

I'm So proud to be on the side of an American hero like Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman and not on the side of a creepy disgusting racist criminal like Stephen Miller who is an architect of the MAGA crimes against humanity plot that ripped brown children out of the arms of their parents.

It’s amazing to see people telling the fascist Republican cult to go fuck themselves, but it should also be a crime to purposely make people stand in line for over 2 hours to vote as a ploy to suppress voters.

112 Degrees Temperature Predicted for Sacramento, California Next Week. Maybe Global Warming is NOT A HOAX! I've Never Seen That Number... DANGEROUS.

 I Lived in Chico, CA for Seven Years...

In the Summer...

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...

Google Satellite Photo of Lexington Dam in Los Gatos, CA

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 waded out to the middle of the pool to take these pictures.

Both taken from the same spot...

It's a BIG POOL.

Built by the WPA during the Depression of the 1930s.

Bidwell Park is open at night.
