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.

Quite Often I Hear "Anti- Choice" Activists Yelling about "Yadda Yadda Yadda" but... In Fact... Those People are Simply Wrong... and The Majority of Americans are In Favor of Abortion Being Legal... WITH GOOD REASON!

Project MKULTRA: The CIA Mind Control Experiment That Escaped The Laboratory and Got Out Onto The Dance Floor! Was "The Sixties" Really a Test to Just Find Out What Would Happen IF A Million People Took LSD?

At First, The CIA Allowed Millions of Doses of LSD to be Distributed at Grateful Dead Concerts JUST BECAUSE THEY WERE CURIOUS... and then Later, The CIA Deployed All Those Vendors BECAUSE IT WORKED! Many People Who Took LSD Became "NOT A THREAT" To The Ruling Class. People Became interested in Learning How to Play Guitar instead of Being Interested in The Violet Overgrow of the US Government... People Became interested in Organic Farming... Again, Remote Marijuana Farmers and Organic Vegetable Growers DO NOT POSE A DANGER TO THE IVY LEAGUE EAST COAST ESTABLISHMENT...

They Even Had a CIA Consultant Touring Coast to Coast Advising Young People to "Turn On, Tune In and Drop Out." Yes, Dr Timothy Leary Worked for the CIA Designing the Leary Personality Test. --- AND --- People who "Drop Out" are Mostly Harmless... There were a Couple of Exceptions: Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin Started the "YIPPIES" and Protested Against the Vietnam War... Causing Thousands of People to Surround the Pentagon to Try and Levitate It. They also Created the 1968 Chicago Riots...

Charles Manson Was a Product of Decades Spent Incarcerated in the USA Prison System... He used LSD to Brainwash Teenage Runaway Girls in Los Angeles... Creating What He Called "Charlie's Angels" - Later Made into a TV Show... In a TV Network Planning Meeting they FLIPPED THE SCRIPT and Made Charlie GOOD instead of EVIL. Higher Ratings with a Good Guy. And They made the Angels Beautiful Women instead of the Plain Looking People in the Manson Family...

1967: The Summer of Love... San Francisco, Hippies, Flower Power, Peace, The Diggers, Haight Ashbury, LSD and the Grateful Dead. It certainly has been a Long Strange Trip. Congratulations to all those of us who have survived... One thing is for certain...

The culture of the United States was
radically different After the 1960's...

The conformism of the 1950's was blown away when LSD became widely available. Owsley made the chemical and made it available at Acid Tests with Ken Kesey and the Grateful Dead. He also gave it to the Beatles for their Magical Mystery Tour. The spirit lives on in a yearly camping trip called The Rainbow Gathering. It's like Woodstock but the performers are not paid and I'm in the Band.

It's Sad that So Many Smart People Go to Work on Wall Street and Accomplish Nothing With Their Lives. Is There a Cure for the Compulsive Hoarding of Money Syndrome?

Imagine a World Where the People That Spent Four Years at Harvard, Yale and Princeton Took Jobs Inventing Things... Useful Things... Making the World a Better Place...

Years Ago The Stock Market was Involved in Getting Loans for Businesses to Finance Their Growth... NOW? It's Difficult To Say What They Do... Except When They Lose all their Money, The Federal Government Bails them Out... and If They WIN, They Get to Keep their Winnings in Tax Free Shelters Overseas...

I See on the TV News That Convicted Felon Michael Milken has founded an "Institute" where he will teach you how to play the stock market... and the Teaches at Stanford University... I Guess that's all he CAN Do Because he's Forbidden for Life from actually Playing the Stock Market... Even though He was Pardoned by Former Guy Donald Trump...

Zzyzx is an unincorporated community in San Bernardino County, California. Curtis Howe Springer made up the name Zzyzx and gave it to the area in 1944, claiming it to be the last word in the English language.^[2]^[3] He established the Zzyzx Mineral Springs and Health Spa in 1944 at the spot, which was federal land, after filing mining claims for 12,000 acres (4,900 ha) surrounding the springs. He used the springs to bottle his water and provide drinks for travelers through the hot desert.

Integratron: <--- Link to Official Website!

The Integratron is the fusion of Art, Science and Magic

The Integratron, circa 1954, is located in Landers, California, 20 miles north of Joshua Tree National Park. Its creator, George Van Tassel (1910-1978), claimed that the structure is based on the design of Moses’ Tabernacle, the writings of Nikola Tesla and telepathic directions from extraterrestrials. This one-of-a-kind 38-foot high, 55-foot diameter, all wood dome was designed to be an electrostatic generator for the purpose of rejuvenation and time travel.

The location of the Integratron is an essential part of its functioning. It was built on an intersection of powerful geomagnetic forces that, when focused by the unique geometry of the building, concentrate and amplify the earth’s magnetic field. Magnetometers read a significant spike in the earth’s magnetic field in the center of the Integratron.

The Integratron is privately owned by three sisters who have been part of the restoration and maintenance of the structure and property for more than 30 years. Their focus is to restore and preserve the structure while sharing its amazing acoustical properties with the world via the Integratron Sound Bath.

This unique structure was listed in 2019 on the National Register of Historic Places by the National Park Service.

The Entire West is Burning... Every Year there will be MORE MORE MORE fires... and Two of California's Massive Fires - Were Near Lakes... One Near Lake Tahoe and One Near Lake Almanor... and Both Lakes Had Water in them... We Could Have Put those Fires Out Early... If We Only Had Helicopters.

Tell Your Representatives to Buy Some Helicopters!

FC Said: Then you also need, at minimum, 1,000 trained pilots, and several hundred mechanics.

fire fighting Helicopter dipping a bucket in water

Here's a Helicopter Dipping a Bucket into a River to Drop Water on a Wildfire. We need to Buy 1,000 of these to put out Fires THIS SUMMER! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerial_firefighting Remember Last Summer we had Fires near Lake Tahoe and Lake Almanor? Plenty of Water... Not enough Helicopters... DUH!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicopter_bucket

A helicopter bucket is a specialised bucket suspended on a cable carried by a helicopter to deliver water for aerial firefighting. Each bucket has a release valve on the bottom which is controlled by the helicopter crew. When the helicopter is in position, the crew releases the water to extinguish or suppress the fire below.

Fire Fighting Helicopter with Water Bucket

Thank You, Joe Biden, for Ending the Pointless War in Afghanistan. Our Soldiers were Wasting their Time fighting a war that cannot be won for people that do not want us there. I feel certain that the Soldiers would rather be home fighting fires that threaten their families and friends... Bring 'em Home and Bring Home the Helicopters too...

On a different Subject!

SE Said: People who aren't affected by the spring time change must be the kind of people who can fall asleep at the drop of a hat, any time, anywhere. Just close their eyes and drop off to sleep. But those of us who are strongly affected by the time change are usually people who can't sleep unless we're actually TIRED. I've always wished I was one of those people who can just shut my eyes and go to sleep any time, anywhere. It must be nice to be able to sleep so easily. But for me, getting enough sleep is a constant struggle. It's not that I don't like extra daylight at the end of the day, but it comes at the expense of precious sleep. It's already 6:15, but it's so LIGHT outside. I should be thinking about dinner, and after that I've got to think about winding down and getting to bed at around 10. But with all this extra daylight, I won't feel tired until probably 11 or 12. Then 6am becomes 5am, and tomorrow is the day it's really going to hit me. I wish we could do this in April like we used to until 2007. I've never understood why they moved it to March. It's too early for this.

I Replied: I didn't notice it at all this year... I generally wake up about 3 AM after going to sleep at 8 PM... But all those numbers are approximate... Random! I do watch Jeopardy! from 7 to 7:30 and My Care Giver makes me a snack after that... anyway... This morning I woke up and Read the time on my Computer... and just accepted that it was accurate... and went out to the Dining Room Table at 4 AM because they won't serve me coffee before then... The care givers like to sleep at night and they won't get out of bed before 4... That Day Shift Lady was late because the time change caught her unaware... she was flustered... and my housemate didn't show up for breakfast until an hour late because he wears a watch... and the watch was an hour off today... I don't own a watch... When I retired I was NO LONGER a Slave to Time. No Alarm Clock Either.

GRATEFUL DEAD: The motif of a cycle of folk tales which begin with the hero coming upon a group of people ill-treating or refusing to bury the corpse of a man who had died without paying his debts. He gives his last penny, either to pay the man’s debts or to give him a decent burial. Within a few hours he meets with a travelling companion who aids him in some impossible task, gets him a fortune or saves his life. The story ends with the companion disclosing himself as the man whose corpse the hero had befriended.(the Funk and Wagnalls New Practical Standard Dictionary, Britannica World Language Edition.).

and then a Fellow Wrote About Los Gatos, CA.

Where we grew Up in the 1950s & 1960s

Tme warp…

In the 50’s and 60’s, Los Gatos was the quintessential little town, framed by mountains, bigger towns and cities and  dotted with orchards and little industries, a model town that, except for location could have been almost any town in the nation at the time. People living their post war lives and doing what needed to be done, raising families, working and giving thanks for the peaceful times.  
Television was replacing the radio, so for the first time we could see what life was like outside our little town… Big city life was now in our living room with Lucy and Ethel, Ralph Kramden and Alice, (Alice who did not get there herself,  but did have many opportunities to go to the moon) Life was good. America by and large was great. I must have won life’s lottery, getting to grow up in Los Gatos at a time when it was small, personal and well, Just wonderful.

Small towns… every time I get to a small town I am drawn back to those days of my youth and taken to some location that except in time could have been my little town. Recently having the occasion to wander into Sonora Lumber (in Sonora CA)… .parking out back and entering an old wooden building with a tin roof  in which were rows of wooden shelves lined with hardware, tools, nails and all the things needed to mend, bend and build something. Immediately I was transported to Sterling Lumber Company (University Ave across from the university Ave school aka old town)… almost tripping on the knots in the wood floor that raised because they were harder than the surrounding softer wood, that had been worn off by the shuffle of work boots that moved over the floor for decades. Looking further the “better” lumber and moldings are in racks either standing up or pushed into long deep bins that keep the material straight and out of the sun, there is a walkway for the second tier and a rolling ladder to access some of the uppermost bins. The task of loading these bins is time consuming and virtually a lost art with the cost of labor and short supply of help these days. The help nowadays wear jeans and tee shirts missing was the lumber aprons the men would wear that protected them and their clothing the aprons were long and had  pouches that  held tape measures and lumber crayons (keel) and the blue work shirt with two snap down pockets. The current patrons mostly have trucks that while old, function with make shift lumber racks and such to haul away their days working materials, unlike Sterling lumber/Templeman’s hardware…

Trucks were somewhat scarce in the 50s , a truck was a work truck and not a weekend cruiser/camper/ toy hauler like we know now. Nope, if you had a truck you were working, or hauling*.  If you didn’t have a truck or could borrow one you would take a long piece off sisal twine** and lash that plywood to the top of the old Chrysler and head out. Probably all the old guys worked together on some project or two as they all seemed to know each other… Walt Pearce and Jack Vodden worked at Sterling and I recall my dad working with Tom Sims, Walt (?) Lochner, Pete Buchner, and the Wallace’s who had a cabinet shop up by Saint Clairs retreat, and had a sideline making cabinets and props for magicians. To many names to remember.

Unlike the current building supply big box stores, I ordered my 6 bags of sand, and the clerk wrote it out on a tag and the yard guy loaded it for me and said thanks before heading off to the next person waiting for something… Small Town, big people, big hearts and  occasionally if we open our senses we can slip back into our youth and get that sense of what we had.

*  Sisal twine….This stuff was pretty strong, and you would triple or quadruple the strands to form a rope like. The oily smell is unique, and the sisal would give you a splinter if you slide it through your hands. It was always interesting (scary too) to go up Highway 17 and see a long bunch of wood wrapped to the top of a car. The plastic stuff that replaced is just not as good.

** Uncle Chuck (Adams), had some kind of old pickup and once a week or so on the way home (just below Call of the Wild) he would load the back full with $100 worth of groceries, today that $100 bucks of food wouldn’t fill the passenger seat. Or it might be full of firewood, or something to burn in the big old fireplaces in the log cabin.

The murder of Osama bin Laden was especially Strange. NO BODY. NO PHOTOS OF BODY. Did the Carlyle Group simply arrange for him to Vanish? "You get to Live but You Must Shut UP and Never be seen again."  Perhaps a Nice Indonesian Island? Just You and Your Harem? 

and then JB Replied: 
I doubt the entire Navy Seal team 6 would go along with that, esp under Obama, they immediately acknowledged it would probably lead to his re-election, the majority of them were against an Obama 2nd term.

and I Replied: 
Plausible Deniability. I believe Osama is Dead. They just made a Mistake is Having No Photos, No Body... they were so focused on Actually Killing Him that No One Thought of the Blowback... No one Ever thinks of the Blowback... It's just Like the "No Photographs of an Airplane at the Pentagon on 9/11/2001" - They Could have easily released a film... the FBI Confiscated SO MANY Films but... OOPS...

Ecology - a Concept not grasped by Monster Truck Guy

People Say That... They Have to Drive to Work Every Day... However, SOME Jobs can be done at home... SOME Businesses Could Relocate the Office to an Abandoned Shopping Mall Near Homes... SOME People Could Ride the BUS to Work... It's Possible...

People get Laid Off from Work Quite Often These Days and... at that time... It would be excellent to select a new job with a Drastically Shorter Commute... If You Drive an Hour To Get to Work 5 Days a Week a HUGE PORTION of Your Precious LIFE is Wasted... Never to be Lived Again...
