THIS IS YOUR CHOICE!
The Time Has Come to Pass
the Torch to a New Generation!
All the recent focus on Biden stepping down got me thinking: why do Republicans think Trump is the best they can do? Surely they can do better than a felon who disrespects veterans and only cares about himself. Why is the bar so low for Republicans that they don't even TRY to do better? I know, I know...it's a cult. I know that. I'm just marveling at the difference between the 2 parties. Once again, this is another example of how the 2 parties are NOT the same, not even close. We have a GREAT president who genuinely cares about this country and respects our Constutition, and the Democrats pressured him not to run again because they thought they could do better. But the Republicans don't want to do better than a felon, r@pist, con man grifter who has made no secret of the fact that he plans to disregard the Constitution and become a dictator. And that's perfectly fine with Republicans. Yeah, the parties are NOT the same.
IMMIGRANTS MADE SILICON VALLEY... Sure, All the Famous Names in High Tech are White Men... BUT... Behind the Scenes... People From All Over The World Came Here... AND BUILT A MIRACLE.
Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniac, Bill Gates, Paul Allen, William Hewlett, David Packard, Gordon Moore, Andy Grove, Robert Noyce, Jack Kilby, Thomas Watson, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, William Shockley, Herman Hollerith, Alan Turing, John Von Neuman, Charles Babbage, Fibonacci, Nikola Tesla, Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell... If You Don't Recognize any of These Names... Just Google Them! and be Thankful that Great White Men Created Electricity, Computers and the Internet!
HOWEVER... At INTEL... Tadashi Sasaki was a Japanese engineer who was influential in founding Busicom, driving the development of the Intel 4004 microprocessor... Engineers Vinod Dham and Rajeev Chandrasekhar were key figures on the core team that invented the 486 chip and later, Intel's signature Pentium chip.
History of Silicon Valley: Almaden - IBM's Successful Utopia. Near San Jose, California IBM built an IDEAL WORLD, Later, Silicon Valley was Built and The Light Rail Connected Almaden to The Rest... All the Way to NASA/Lockheed.
Far out in the farmlands south of town, IBM built a disk drive factory in the early 60's. They wanted to attract the world's finest talent so the built nice houses, shopping centers, a golf course, tennis club and swimming pool. This self contained utopia had everything a family could want... It is still there and functioning beautifully. Come visit sometime... it's wonderful.
Later, the entire city of San Jose became interested in computers. Silicon Valley was born.

When at the Rainbow Gathering in Utah 2014 I was given the opportunity to focus my attention. Here is what happened...
While staying at the Welcome Home Kitchen, the Fire Tender wanted to go to another kitchen and trade a cooler filled with coffee for pizza. He asked if someone would watch the fire while he was gone. SOMEONE had to be there... I volunteered. I Said "I'll be here. I'll be the responsable adult. I can do that, I have done that."
he said "Great" and Left with the cooler filled with coffee.
So I took over and made sure we didn't burn down the forest. I also collected wood, placed it carefully on the fire arranging the logs so that they would burn without causing a lot of smoke AND I invited arriving people to help themselves to a cup of coffee or clean drinking water... and to take a break and relax around the fire.
This is a classic way to focus attention as the placement of logs on the fire is very similar to Zen Gardening with sand...
So, during this time... I asked for a Really Big Idea... I had attended Rainbow Gatherings before and I wanted each visit to be different. It's pointless and boring to keep on repeating experiences... so, this time I wanted to get a really big Idea...
and here it is: A SolarFire powered Desalinization Machine. Use a driftwood fire to power a steam engine. Use the force from the steam engine to drive a water pump. Pump seawater thru a pipe in the fire and into a long black pipe with a reflector that focuses sunlight on the pipe. When the water boils, it expands in volume... at the end of the pipe, steam will be billowing out with a great deal of force. Use that force to drive an electricity generating turbine. Collect the steam and let it turn back into a liquid... The result is Pure H20, NaCl and Electricity... all valuable and sellable.
Clean safe drinking water is a big problem. We could use the collected steam for drinking, bathing, livestock, gardens... AND making Ice for a really great Scotch on the Rocks.
To make this pracital, the location of the machine would need to be near a big pile of driftwood. On Agate Beach in California, I have seen a pile of driftwood that covers the entire beach for about a half a mile... In other locations, use watever resource is available. For Example: In Saudi Arabia it would make more sense to burn oil or gas...
So, during my meditation I Got my really big idea...
Later, the fire tender returned and his mission to get pizza was successful.
Much later I was sitting by the fire and another Rainbow Gatherer approached... He said mockingly: "Have you been sitting in that same spot for two days?" Which was true, I did spend a couple of days at the Welcome Home Tent.
I replied: "No, I also worked as the fire tender... That gave me an opportunity to Focus My Attention... [said slowly] Focus... My... Attention... "
The fire tender was listening and he nodded with understanding... Later we ended up hanging out together and he was a fine fellow... He was also very interested in being in the Cleanup Crew... I assume he got paid a lot in valuable stuff left behind.

Rainbow Gathering: It's OVER for 2024. Hopefully We have Learned Something about Wise Site Selection, The US Forest Service, Whining Locals and Fire Danger...
Up until Now We have depended on the First Amendment to the US Constitution... and the Right to Peaceably Assemble... Well... That Right Just Vanished and the US Forest Service Simply Prohibited People from Gathering at the Original Location near Janesville... With Threats of Arrest and Trespassing Tickets...
Eventually Someone from The Rainbow Gathering People and the Forest Service Chose a Different Site and The Gathering Happened... With NO WILDFIRE EMERGENCIES...
Next Year We Ought to Choose Wisely... and Select a Location Without all the CrazyTalk® Drama!
Report From The Land Says EXCELLENT GATHERING!
To everyone who isn't at the 2024 California Annual Gathering...
It's actually a really good Gathering, considering everything as well!!!
Everyone is being great on fire safety!
Clean up is going good as usual.
Everyone is looking out for each other.
Forest Service is being chill.
People of all walks of life and places in the world are Gathering.
A really, really good amount of people are Gathering.
"Ignore all rumors of cancelation"?
Holy moly, not in any way did the Gathering get canceled.
Peace and love.
