In the Javascript Language I Can Calculate What Colors fill a Table... Years ago I was Impressed by the Work of Benoit Mandlebrot and his Fractal Art Programs and Said... Hell, I Could do that!
So I Did... and Today I dusted off the Programs and Started Modifying Them... and Posting the Art online... See Attached Pictures...
Quite a Productive Day. I Took a walk because finally it was warm enough to go outdoors... and I did a Major Rewrite of my Novel... The Violet Overgrow... and Published it on 12 different Social Media Platforms...
And I Listened to The UUSF Sermon... The Song Shall We Gather by the River? Really was Excellent because... the ANSWER to that question is NO. We are Not Gathering by the River. We are Not Gathering In the Church... NO GATHERINGS! None!
Sadly, Vanessa kept on talking about Racism and of Course... I can't Stand That... Places Like Los Gatos, California Simply DID NOT HAVE Black People and It was Great... We Had Mexicans and Orientals and Whites and we Had fun together... BUT NO BLACKS! That was Our Parents Solution to the Problem of Racism... NO BLACKS.
I'm saddened to see that you voluntarily choose to continue to live in San Francisco... You People Down There have a Lot of Trouble with Inter-Racial Tension... I Can't think of a solution except ESCAPE... Chico is almost all white and the farmland around Chico is almost All Mexican and We Get along Just Fine... My AA Friend Manuel took me to his Church way out in the Farmlands and we had a good time... AA Meetings in Chico have both English and Spanish Services... I spoke enough Spanish to Go to Either...
Eureka and Arcata is Almost All White or Yurok or Hoopa... and We Get along... There is some conflict between the Rednecks and the Hippies... Guys who work at the Lumber Mill are a different culture Than Marijuana Farmers or College students... But we get along...
I have no brilliant Ideas about how to solve these problems EXCEPT... I Believe the Entire Concept of The City is Obsolete... LA, Chicago, NYC and Washington DC are all doomed to endless Fighting... I Lived for a Decade in Beautiful Oxon Hill, Maryland Just 3 Miles from the Murder Capitol of the USA... More people were murdered in South East DC than anywhere else... sometimes East Palo Alto would win that Honor... Now I Hear that the South Side of Chicago is occasionally the Murder Capitol of the USA... all places where Black People Live.
Your Mayor, London Breed is on the Right Path. Just "Lock 'em UP!"
"They Say The Property Value Will Go Right Down if the Family Nexy Door is Blue" Classic PPM song Big Blue Frog... and in fact... I couldn't Sell my condo because... The entire neighborhood turned into a Crack Crazy Ghetto... and in a Complex with 500 Identical units... people who were tidy houskeepers had better Condos to sell... My Carpet had not been vacuumed in years etc etc etc... However... The Bank HAS to Foreclose... They have no Choice! Simply Refuse to pay the Mortgage for three months and... It's Theirs! and they lost a fortune because many people simply abandoned their property...
However, if You travel away from Washington DC... to beautiful Fort Washington, Maryland you find houses for Rich Black People. Doctors, Lawers, Government Officials... and That Town is Excellent! I Delivered Domino's Pizza there... But we refused to deliver to the Crack Crazy Ghetto...
anyway... I get bored with Vanessa Southern and her concern for the Troubles of Minority Groups... The Solution for me is to Change the TV Channel and I won't see the Madness on the TV News... Today a GUN Nut held people Hostage in a Synagogue in Texas... OK... Those people way far away are behaving crazy and their lives are a mess... Thankfully, the number one cause of death by gunshot is suicide... gradually eliminating the GUN NUT GENE from the Species...
I guess she has to talk about something and Since the vast majority of the people that go to that church are old white people... They are worried about the Post Apocalypse Techno Industrial Wasteland That is Coming for San Francisco... and All Other Cities in the USA...
On October 1, 2015, I drove to Oregon and Bought Legal Marijuana... Then I went Back every two weeks for eight months... buying an ounce every time... Then it was a bright sunny spring day and I told my Wife... I'm gonna go drive around for a while and sleep in my van... I left all the Marijuana at home and set out on an adventure... When I'm sleeping in the Van I meet a lot of policemen and I certainly don't want anything Illegal in the Van... and then I ended up a month later in Pahrump, Nevada... I had ruined my tires from spinning the wheels trying to get unstuck from the sand on the shoulder of the road... I got a tow to the Auto Repair Place... I stayed there for a couple of Days and Played the Slot Machines at John Ascuaga's Nugget... Little did I Know that I remained Stoned for a Month After Stopping Smoking... True Cannabis Psychosis... experiencing events that didn't happen... SO, I Imagined that I won $10,000 on a Machine... and then I Imagined that Mr Ascuaga was Angry at Me... So... That Night While I was sleeping in the Desert... I broke my ATM Card in Half (so I couldn't go Gambling Again) and then Later I discarded my Wallet with my Drivers Licence... Therefore... I Could not Pay for the Car Repair or Drive my Van Home... ERROR! So I borrowed the phone at the auto shop, called my wife and she said... don't worry... I'll just send Craig down to rescue you... and He did... and he took me to Butte County Mental Health in Chico and then I went to the Mental Hospital... 5150... Stayed there for 15 Days and was released to an Old Folks Home near Sacramento, CA - and I'm STILL HERE!
and my Brother In Law Grew "MULE" Marijuana in the Ozarks... Cause it Kicks You in the Head! I sure had fun going to the old swimming hole... We got to see everyone's wives nude... my wife showed off her beauty and so did her older sister! a blessing... and then rode back in the back of a pickup truck with giant puffy clouds... you know them... like the ones you see on Renaissance Christian Paintings...
