But First! My Opinions from 2001...
Retrieved from my Yahoo Geocities Website: Yosemite/Trails/6803...
Cardboard Cities of KALIfornia...as we roll into the year 2001 it seems sad to me that we are spiraling down into a third-world ghetto society...soon all that we can afford to live in will be cardboard boxes...
PG&E; recently stole about 10 BILLION dollars from KALIfornians... That theft alone will wreck our economy... (MORE ranting of a deranged lunatic below my lovely drawing)
We (the average schmoes) simply will not be spending any money on anything other than food and shelter... Nothing will be spent at arts and crafts stores... and so the arts and crafts stores will go out of business... nothing will be spent at record and tape stores... and so they will go out of business...ALL BUSINESSES THAT DEPEND ON VOLUNTARY SPENDING WILL FOLD... as an example...Fleetwood recreational vehicles just closed the factory here in chico...WHY?...because no one is buying recreational vehicles anymore...345 people got laid off...those people CERTAINLY do not have any money to spend on ANYTHING other than survival...WE will not be buying any jet-skis, home stereos, vcrs, computers, televisions, new cars...no going out to dinner at restaurants... AND...all the people that work in those businesses will be cutting back on THEIR spending too...THANKS PIGGY (PG&E)

Does law of attraction and manifestation techniques really work?
You have to believe it 100% with no doubts, and it'll come to past. The universe will create paths for you and your intuition will take you there, you will take actions that'll take you there. And of course from the outside, they say you "took actions".
Do you believe you have to work hard to be rich? Or being rich takes time? Then you'll do that. I know plenty of people who became multimillionaires fast and in a short time, and also know plenty who worked hard for years
and I Responded: It's easy to notice that the opposite is true... if you seek disaster, it will find you... If you look for unhappiness... that's what you'll get! So why NOT seek beauty? and Good Times? I find walking in the Nountains is the Best... I live in California and there are Many Mountains with rivers of SUPER PURE Water to Drink and Swim In... Just to Give you a Hint... Try the Trinity River Between Redding and Eureka... Excellent!

SE SAID:
I don't really understand this constant debate about whether or not pineapple belongs on pizza. Pizza restaurants in my area have always offered a Hawaiian pizza on their menu, even when I was a kid. A Hawaiian pizza is usually ham and pineapple, but sometimes it's Canadian bacon and pineapple. But every pizza restaurant offers a Hawaiian pizza, and it's nothing new, so it seems strange to me that it's only been in the last 3 or 4 years that I've seen this debate about whether or not it "belongs" on pizza. Maybe it's less common in other states?
The only thing I don't like about Hawaiian pizza is the ham. I'm not a fan of ham, and I typically prefer pizza without any meat at all, so I'm not likely to order the Hawaiian pizza for myself. But in situations where someone orders several pizzas to feed a large crowd, Hawaiian is usually one of the pizzas because many people love it. I actually like the combination of pepperoni and pineapple better than ham and pineapple. If you don't like Hawaiian pizza, that's fine, everyone has their preferences. But whether or not it "belongs" on the menu? That part is odd to me.
SH SAID:
The Hawaiian pizza in my hometown pizzeria also had banana on it. That never struck me as odd as a kid. It was my favourite. The sweet and salty together with the acid of the pineapple is good.
SE SAID: I don't think I've ever had crab on pizza, but it sure sounds good. I have had shrimp on pizza many times, and I love it. Lobster would be good too.
I Replied: I worked at Dominos in Maryland and there was a Fish Store next door... so we both donated and everyone ate...
MM SAID: I happen to like it. I’ve had dried mango slices with prosciutto and arugula on pizza so pineapple is not a stretch.
There are some Americans who put pineapple slices on a ham before baking it, and it adds a bit of tenderness and sweetness to the meat. So what’s the difference?
NL SAID: In SF people seem to be more liberal with pizza toppings. My favorite used to be a potato and pesto one. I'm like you. I usually only eat vegetarian pizza. Pineapple happens to be my favorite topping. I usually pair it with jalapenos and onions. But if I'm gonna go for the non veggie version, it's pineapple, jalapenos, onions and anchovies!
SE SAID: When I lived in L.A., I was really surprised that most pizza places did NOT have pesto pizza. Here in the Bay Area, pesto pizza has always been a thing. There are very few pizza places which DON'T offer it. I also remember when I went to New York City in '93 and again in '94, none of those wonderful New York pizza-by-the-slice places had pesto. But they all had spinach pizza, which surprised me for some reason. But it was SO GOOD. I prefer pizza with veggie toppings rather than meat, and I was surprised New York had so many veggie options. I would have assumed veggie pizza was more of a West Coast thing, but you never know. spinach on pizza is so good! They don't offer green olives on pizza in SoCal too and every place up north did. Green is so much better on pizza!
NL SAID: Eh, I can't stand any olives, green or black. It's the only food I hate. If olives end up on my pizza, I'm picking them off.
SE Replied: too bad. I also remember that kalamata olives and feta goes great on pizza too.
I Said: Canadian Bacon is a Good addition to Pineapple Pizza... or Ham...

and at a Senator Jon Testor Virtual Town Hall I asked: "When will we Legalize Recreational Marijuana Nationwide? Tax it Regulate it. Free all the Cannabis Prisoners. Use the empty jail cells for a homeless shelter... Refund the Taxpaer Dollars Currently Wasted on Law Enforcement to the Taxpayers... Everybody WINS!"
