It always reminds me of the
inside of a Washing Machine...
Those Golden Rods Move in the Breeze
and Look Like Rain Coming Down...

We Always Stop Here on Our Way Home to Eureka.
Officially, It's a Mariners Memorial.
I Just Stop There because FINALLY We Have
Escaped the City and There is Nothing
of Interest for a Hundred Miles.

I find that I Have One Day Where I'm NOT Required to Participate in My Brothers Wedding...
Yesterday I Took a Journey to WALMART to get a Covid-19 Booster Shot. It was an Uneventful Journey and I Got to Spent 15 Minutes after Getting Shot, relaxing and waiting to see if there was a Bad Reaction to the Shot. No Troubles. I did get an Opportunity to Look at the WALMART Shoppers... Yes, It's True! FREAKS!
So I'm Thinking That While I'm In San Francisco I could Take a LYFT over to the Place I Get the Double Decker Bus... for a Tour!

This part written last week...

I Haven't Left the House in Years... Except to Go to One Blood Test and One Doctor's Appointment... and I've been Invited to my Brother's Wedding that they Plan to Hold in Downtown San Francisco... Near the Tenderloin District... SO... as if I was Going on a Trip to Rio de Janeiro or Baghdad or any other Third World Hellhole... I'll have to Practice stepping over the Dead Bodies on the Street and the Tent Cities... Just like the Cardboard Structures of Johannesburg...
I tried to Convince my Brother to Hold the Wedding Outdoors on the Beach... For Safety's Sake... but his plan is to Hold it at The UUSF Church indoors... with everyone wearing masks... and everyone practicing social distancing... and everyone passing a COVID test before being allowed to Attend... I mentioned that at the Gridiron Dinner 70 People Got Infected... Due to GATHERING INDOORS... and I mentioned that if Everyone He Knows Gathers indoors we might ALL get Infected... But... The Concept of His Wedding being the Event That Killed "Aunt Suzi" or "Uncle Charlie" was ignored... so far... There IS an Excellent Beach at the End of Judah Street right next to The Hotel I always stay at... and the Java Beach Coffee Shop... Plenty of Parking and Not Near the DangerZone®
Last night I was Participating in the World Tapping Circle Group Meditation... and This Time, I simply decided to Do My Breathing and Chanting that I Learned from Mark Sims during The Harmonic Convergence... and the Combination of Sonya Sophia speaking Positive Healing Words backed by a Kaleidoscope while me Chanting "HU" really Opened my Mind as to What My Path Forward Should Be... THANKS!
There IS the Possibility that Acupuncture Really Works... Actual Ancient Wisdom... and Sonya Sophia's Group Webinar uses Acupressure... Basically Acupuncture without Needles... and Mark Sims Says that by Chanting "HU" it's possible to Invite Extra Terrestrials to Come Visit... and Teach Us... Well... I never Met any Aliens but... What IS Out There? God? the Wisdom of My Ancestors? The Group Mind GAIA? Whatever... I do get Great Idea when Doing That Breathing and Chanting... I find it Ironic that he uses "HU" which in ENGLISH is WHO? I also am Interested in What, Where, Why, How and SO WHAT! Both of these People are Wonderful Teachers...
Of Course, Even if I invented a Time Machine and we could travel back to the Glory Days of San Francisco... There Have Been Winos Begging on the Streets Near the Wharf... admire this Insightful Grateful Dead Song... Written by Robert Hunter... Especially the Meaningful Tone of Jerry Garcia's Voice... It appears that he Means Every Word he sings! and the Superb Electric Organ by Merl Saunders... Pigpen is also on this record... There is Piano as well...
The Song "Wharf Rat" from The "Skull and Roses" Album...
and while I'm working on my Blog... I'm Listening to the China/Rider from the Europe '72 Album... They really cleaned up the Recording and it SPARKLES!
I'm reminded that while Inner-Tubing the Butte Creek in the Springtime, Sometimes I would be Completely Submerged and then POP UP and Break Thru the Water... BaWhoosh! and this Song Has Moments when the JAM would POP UP and Break On Thru to the Other Side... Specifically: right after the Lyric "My Mind Was Wandering Like a Wild Beast In The West" 7 minutes Exactly... and at that point all the Dancers in the Audience Would put their arms above their Heads and Wave 'Em All About! I've seen this at JFK Stadium in Philadelphia where I Chose to Sit at the Very Top of the Bleachers Right in the Center of the Horseshoe... I Could See the Frantic Enthusiasm of the Dancers Gradually Flow thru the Crowd on the Football Field Because... The Speed of Sound makes the Music Arrive Later in the Back! and I Knew... That in One Second... It Would Hit ME! That was also the Time When we Did "The Wave" during Intermission...
I'm Sure Glad I Witnessed all those Concerts... FUN!
