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 building in SoCal


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.

4 H🔥ttest Festival Tips

1. Go deep if you want to fly high! Do some workshops during the day and learn about yourself.


2. Get some sleep. Bring silicone ear plugs (not foam ones)  they almost block out the noise.

3. Drink electrolytes daily. Your brain works better when you drink at least 3 packs a day.

4. Don't pack emotional baggage. Nothing ruins play time more than a meltdown over your X, comparing yourself to others, or the fear of losing your lover etc.



Love is the answer. And the challenge is like, how do I take that out of a quote and turn it into my actual living experience? How do I learn to like mainline love and give myself the love, encouragement, self-respect, boundaries, practices, courage, and resiliency emotionally?

CAUGHT! Republican Guilty of Voter Fraud. The Poster Boy of the GOP Crusade to Prevent "Stealing Elections" by Changing Laws to Prevent Democrats from Voting.

He made Many TV Appearances where he made the Case for New Republican Anti-Voter Laws... Pretending that Democratic Fraud Needed to be Stopped... All the While He Knew that HE HIMSELF Was the Criminal... and Now He's Getting PUNISHED... 

Nevada Man Featured in GOP Ad on Voter Fraud Admits to Forging Dead Wife's Name on Ballot... 


GOP Corruption Voter Fraud BOGUS - Nevada man pleads guilty to voting twice



Nevada man who claimed to have evidence of 2020 election fraud pleads guilty to voting twice... 


A Las Vegas man whose claim he had evidence of fraud in the 2020 presidential election was amplified by the Nevada Republican Party pleaded guilty on Tuesday to voting more than once in the same election.

Last November, Donald "Kirk" Hartle told KLAS that someone cast a ballot in the election for his wife, Rosemarie Hartle... AND THAT SOMEONE TURNED OUT TO BE HIMSELF! 

In a statement, Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford said that "though rare, voter fraud can undercut trust in our election system. This particular case of voter fraud was particularly egregious because the offender continually spread inaccurate information about our elections despite being the source of fraud himself." The Nevada GOP has not deleted its tweet about Hartle's false claims, or responded to KLAS's requests for comment.

"They" Now Declare That Hiroshima and Nagasaki Were a Bad Idea... What "They" Fail to Realize is That... Truman Bombed Japan To Prove to Stalin that The USA Really Had Atom Bombs and We Were Willing to Use Them...

"They" Also Say The Japanese Internment Camps of World War Two Were Wrong... However...

Those Internment Camps WORKED. No Japanese/Americans Committed Sabotage  While they were Locked UP. The Japanese Were Actively Trying to Defeat the USA in a War That Included such forgotten events as the Fire Balloons... These were Hydrogen Balloons Launched from Japan that Flew all the Way to the USA, Landed and Exploded. The Goal was to Set The Forests of Washington State, Oregon and Idaho on FIRE... Killing Millions... Thankfully, They were Launched IN THE WINTER when the Forests were WET with Snow... and While The Balloons DID Reach the USA and they DID Explode, They FAILED to Kill Millions of Americans... What IF We Had Thousands of Japanese/Americans FREELY Walking Around During World War Two... Who is to Say that One of Them Wouldn't have Set the Forests on Fire IN THE SUMMER? 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fu-Go_balloon_bomb
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internment_of_Japanese_Americans

 In Fact, Before Hiroshima and Nagasaki, The Emperor of Japan HAD A BAD ATTITUDE! He Was All in favor of Invading other Countries and Stealing their Wealth... AFTER He Was NUKED, His ATTITUDE CHANGED! All of a Sudden, Japan Became interested in Creating Great Cars, Trucks, Motorcycles, Stereos and Electronic Equipment... Ever hear of Sony, Yamaha, Roland, Honda, Nissan, Mitsubishi?
Without That "Bright Light Going Off in Their Minds." It's Possible That Here in California, We Would Be Speaking Japanese! 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_bombings_of_Hiroshima_and_Nagasaki

 Who Exactly are "They"??? Well, I often Hear this Opinion on PBS TV Shows... and the Senator Dianne Feinstein has Spoken out about how Horrible it was to Drop Atom Bombs on Japan... REALLY! As a matter of Fact, We Blew Up Over 100 Atom Bombs in NEVADA! and the Fallout Floated on the wind over UTAH and The Entire USA East of the Nevada Test Site... Brilliant! NUKING OURSELVES...

 "They" Also Complain About the Chinese Exclusion Act... WELL, That Prevented a Million Chinese from Coming Here... FANTASTIC! 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Exclusion_Act

 After the Nuclear Meltdown in Fukushima, Ecology Researchers were concerned that Radioactive Pollution would Float over the Pacific Ocean and Cause Poisonous FISH in the USA. making them so Toxic that we could not Eat them... In Fact, The Oceanographers Did Find Small Amounts of Cesium from Fukushima in the Ocean off the Coast of Washington State, Oregon and California... However they Found Massive Amounts of Cesium Left Over From the Bikini Hydrogen Bomb Tests in The Pacific... Some of those Chemicals Have a Half Life of Thousands of Years... and The Tests Conducted in the 1960s are STILL HOT... and We Have Been Eating Radioactive Fish for Decades... 

Did You Ever Notice that The First Two Syllables of Fukushima are a Swear Word in English... F*CK YOU Shima!

HA HA! 
FOUR BILLION DOLLARS SPENT BUT NO NUKES!

 History:
A total of four nuclear reactors (two originally; and two of new designs), have been proposed for the site over a 40-year period, with over $4 billion having been spent (constructing the preliminary plant infrastructure and ordering/delivering/installing major equipment items).[3] But no nuclear reactor nor electric generating plant was ever completed; two cores of nuclear fuel were originally delivered however these were returned on plant deferral. Meaningful construction progress at the site was halted in 1988. Starting after its termination in 2005, Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) implemented an investment recovery effort to recoup some of the costs associated with Bellefonte. As part of the investment recovery effort, all or parts of some major plant components, including steam generators, feedwater heaters, large pumps and motors, demineralized water and condensate storage tanks, main condenser tubes, and some piping and valves were removed and sold. Additionally, some usable components were transferred from Bellefonte to other TVA facilities as spares.[3]

Autobiography: Northshore Lake Tahoe and Squaw Valley. and Some Trips with my parents... I remember riding the Tram to the top of Squaw Valley in the summer...

Many Bicycle riders were going to the top in order to ride down. I just went there to walk around and look at the Lake and the mountains. At the top is a Restaurant/Bar and an Ice Skating rink. I got a glass of whiskey and sat on the porch. It is really high in elevation and the booze was strong... and wonderful... 

 I was living in my Dad's Cabin at Northshore for a few weeks in the late 1990s. Often I would get up in the morning and take a walk down to the lake... I would FLIP A COIN to see if I rode the local bus towards Nevada or towards the California side of the lake. If I was going to Nevada, I would stop at the Safeway Grocery Store and pick up a free "Shopper Coupon" newspaper. There were many "Lucky Buck" coupons for the Casinos. They would allow you to place one dollar bill and a lucky buck coupon as a TWO Dollar bet. If you won, they paid you TWO dollars, if you lost they kept ONE dollar. This changed the odds of winning DRAMATICALLY in my favor. They believe that once a person is in the casino, they will continue and eventually lose a Hundred Dollars or whatever... However, if you just WALKED OUT AFTER THAT ONE LUCKY BUCK BET the odds said you were likely to be a winner. I used all the coupons and on average I won $14.00... Then I went outside and Did something else with my time... take a walk in the woods, go swimming, see a movie, eat lunch (paid for by the Casino) or dance to the House Band... All of those Casinos had "Classic Rock" Bands that played for free in the Lounge... I usually bought a drink and relaxed...  

 The Safeway store was within walking distance of Dad's Cabin and I remember shoplifting a Pint of Brandy in the middle of the night. Often... At 3 AM there were only two clerks and they were busy stocking the shelves. So I just walked in and put a bottle in my pocket and walked out. They never even noticed I was there... or if they did, they ignored me. Once, when I wanted to buy food, I had to shout loudly to get their attention so they could take my money at the checkout counter... 

 My Family came up one time and they determined that I should go to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. My Sister in Law Patti and I went to a tiny room behind a  Realtors Office that was very secluded and elegant... a truly wonderful location... I attended one meeting, determined that it was not for me and didn't go back until years later... BUT... Since I Had Gone Once, I knew where to go when I decided to stop drinking... Years later I returned to that Tahoe Meeting after I was Sober and had a few months in the program but it was closed at the time I went... so I distributed a handful of coins all over the dirt floor in front of the Hall, wrote a Thank You Note and Left... Frankly speaking, the First 12 Steps in the AA program make no sense to me but THE 13TH STEP got my attention. It is an unwritten step that says... If you don't drink you get to have sex with the other members. As with any organization of Adults, there is an unstoppable urge to merge. This Particular Organization recommends that members DO NOT have sex with each other because some members might take advantage of new members who are confused and in a delicate state of mind. However, a Million years of biology is... something that just happens... I grasped the concept that I had to make a choice between drinking and sex and... I Married a member and we stayed married for 17 years. NOT an unusual story.

 Another time when I decided to quit drinking I walked from The Cabin to the Rim Trail. Just keep o heading uphill and eventually you get there... It's a long walk and there are no bars or liquor stores up there... 

 I really enjoyed riding the bus around Northshore Lake Tahoe. There was no public transportation to Southshore so I never went there... Except, on time I rode the Greyhound to Southshore accidentally and had to hire a TAXI to get to Northshore. VERY EXPENSIVE... The correct way to get to Northshore is to ride the Greyhound to Truckee and take a local bus to Tahoe City. 

 One time I was staying at the Cabin and the whole family went cross country skiing. That is a LOT of fun because it's just lie taking a walk in the woods except you can travel twice as far. Then you are going uphill, it takes as much effort as walking but when you are going downhill it takes ZERO effort. WHEE... I did not like downhill skiing because it is too dangerous and you go too fast... So I went ONCE at Mount Rose and then went to the Bar. Where I taught a German Man to sing the Song "Hound Dog Blues" by Hank Williams... ( also a hit song for George Thorogood.)

 Another time we all went to a Musical Performance at Truckee High School. "Once Upon a Mattress" - pretty good fun!

 Another time I was trying to get to Sparks Nevada and I stopped in Truckee to get gas for the Van. It was Very expensive and I filled the Tank for over $100... It was Friday night and the Town was Exploding with Drunk People and Live Rock Music in the Bars...  I had quit drinking by that time and so I felt uncomfortable being in that scene...

 Another time I was trying to attend the BURNING MAN Festival near Reno and I was riding the Greyhound. So I went to an AA meeting in Reno in hopes of getting a ride from one of the members... I announce my desire during the meeting and EVERY PERSON recommended I not Go. They DID recommend  hat I go to an AA Convention at the Nugget in Sparks. So I rode the city bus to that hotel and had a great time. There was a rib cooking contest in front of the hotel with a LIVE BAND playing Janis Joplin and Grateful Dead songs. I went up after the show and asked where they were playing next and the said Hyatt Tahoe Incline. So I rode the bus there and saw them again at the casino. The stage overlooked the Craps and Blackjack tables... I really like Blackjack because if you play wisely, the odds are about even... That was a great band...

 Autobiography: Some trips with my parents. 

 We went to Banff/Lake Louis and visited the Fabulous Canadian Railroad Hotel. Mom and I wandered all over and got stuck out on a balcony... Why would they have a door that automatically locks? After much beating, someone let us in. Dad and I went searching for Bigfoot. We had binoculars and we walked along the Lake trail looking for signs of life. We DID see a lot of Big Horned Sheep. Way up on rocky mountains they jump around... Dad had a thing for Big Horned Sheep... I don't know why. Maybe it was his astrological sign, Saggitarious. The old goat. On another trip we went to Victoria and the Buchart Gardens. Dad stood on the road on the north end of town and said... "Look, There is Alaska!" We had Formal TEA. Every business in Canada has a Photo of the Queen on the wall... Queen of ENGLAND...

 We also visited the East Coast of the USA and saw the Mystic Connecticut Sea Port, Yale university (I bought a Yale Sweatshirt) and Quebec. Dad made a point of speaking French to the Waitress at a Restaurant. We went to Washington, DC and saw the Smithsonian Castle. Everyone separated and wandered around on our own. I explored the ground floor and saw everything and then I explored it again... and again... at the last minute, I noticed that there was a Second floor that i missed entirely! But it was too late to see it because we were leaving. I was very disappointed and then years later I vowed to look at every room in every building at the Smithsonian. I lived near DC for 12 years and COMPLETELY Saw the Public part of that Museum. A friend of mine worked there and she told me that there was 90% of the Museums objects are IN THE STOREROOMS and not visible to the Public. For some unknown reason I never asked her for a Behind the scenes tour... We did go for special traveling shows like Chippendale's Dollhouse... furnished with scale models of Chippendale Furniture... And I saw all the IMAX movies at the Air and Space including the Japanese 3D animated film "We are Born of Stars" - and I heard a GAMELAN Orchestra playing in the New Wing of the National Art Gallery. Indonesian Bells and marimbas... Very good echo in that I M PEI designed building... All marble with sharp angles. I also saw a Mirrored House that we walked inside and experienced the infinite reflections. The Hirshorn had a Sculpture Garden with Rodin Metal Doors with people exploding out of them. There was also an Andy Warhol Movie of a woman's face projected on a mannequin... so she was three dimensional... and she just made "faces" showing different moods and emotions... Buckminster Fuller had a show of Tensegrities. Large sculptures using shiny aluminum beams held together by stretched wires... they formed freestanding tall pyramids. Sigmund Freud's SON did some very disturbing paintings. They looked like what I see when I look in a mirror while high on LSD. I Guess he was naturally tripping all the time. 

 Dad took a two week vacation every year and we drove all over the West Camping at Parks. We saw all the classic places. Yosemite, Yellowstone, Mount Lassen, Zion, Glacier, Canadian Glacier, Grand Canyon... Cedar Breaks, Colorado. That was a very high elevation and My brother brought a air pressure gauge and he calculated the elevation using that Barometer. I guess there is some standard Math formula for determining Elevation... the air pressure gets weaker the higher you go until in outer space, it become zero... no air at all... 
We went to the Seattle Worlds Fair and rode the Monorail to the Space Needle. Rode the Bubbleator to the World of Tomorrow exhibit. "Step to the Rear of the Sphere." said the guide... 

We went to Carmel by the Sea and visited many quaint shops. Dad bought me a Tam O'Shanter that was in the Plaid of the Duff Clan. That's US!

 Dad and I ate at John Steinbeck's Home... it's now a restaurant.

 Mom Dad and I went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Fabulous! I ate some magic mushrooms and wandered around on my own. Mom was rolling around in her wheelchair and some children were running around and making noise. Basically, elementary school students on a field trip with poor adult supervision. Mom got frightened and she had a bad experience of being unable to control children. Her lifetime of working at Schools, and being the ADULT IN CHARGE! was destroyed. After we got home she never left her house again. Basically, she said... I've already seen whatever the world has to offer and I choose to stay home where its safe. I did notice screaming kids... they were there but so what! We had to leave the Aquarium early and Dad was upset because Mom was freaking out.  At first, I tried to get her to leave the house but later I gave up because... It's her life and she can do what she wants. So she stayed home and suffered great pain in her legs from a unexplainable disease... So, Dad bought her Whiskey and gave it to her all day every day in order to kill the pain. Eventually she died from Cirrhosis of the Liver. It makes me sad to realize that her generation did not have the freedom to smoke marijuana for medicinal purposes... They were brainwashed by the US Government to believe that grass is "The Devil's Weed." She might have lived for ten more years if she just smoked weed.
