Recently, I've been visited between 40,000 and 80,000 times A DAY on my Blog... Where the visitors come from: Brazil, USA, India, Vietnam, Bangladesh, France, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Pakistan, and OTHER

It Appears that Most Visits are from AI Computers that are Scrubbing my Blog to Train their Large language Model Machines... Since I've been writing since the late 1990s there's a lot of language on this blog...  And all of that traffic has got to cost Google a lot of money. They have to purchase servers and electricity and water...  I figure that it's not just my blog, it's everyone's blog, and that's a gigantic amount of pointless effort... 

 Thinking about Brazil... When I went to college one of my professors also taught samba parade drumming as a class... In the music department... And one of the summer school Adventures that he led was a trip to Brazil to See the real Samba Parades Live... 

Brazil has become famous for the Psychedelic Drug Ayahuasca...  It's an organic natural form of the drug DMT... Popular in the 1960s hippie culture as a 30 minute trip... For people that didn't want to take 12 hour LSD trip...  This form of the psychedelic last a long time and most famous for introducing you alien creatures from another dimension... Kind of like a UFO abduction... 

The beach at Rio is the location of some of the world's largest rock concerts... The Rolling Stones' 1.5 million-person gig in 2006, and massive recent performances by Madonna, Lady Gaga, and Shakira.

There is a kind of grief that doesn’t come from losing a person. It comes from watching your country become unrecognizable while everyone insists everything is fine.

I think a lot of Americans are carrying that grief right now.

We’re exhausted. Not just from politics, but from the constant outrage, the endless division, the feeling that truth has become optional and cruelty has become entertainment. Every day seems to bring another headline that would have been unthinkable just a few years ago, and somehow we’re expected to scroll past it like it’s normal.

It’s a strange kind of emptiness. The kind that comes from loving something enough to mourn what it’s becoming.

Some people feel like they no longer recognize the party they grew up supporting. Others feel like they no longer recognize their neighbors. Some wonder if the values they were taught as children, honesty, decency, accountability, compassion, even matter anymore.

This isn’t about wanting America to fail. It’s the opposite.

You don’t grieve something you hate. You grieve something you love.

I still believe this country is worth fighting for. Not because it’s perfect, but because it has always been at its best when ordinary people refused to accept that injustice was inevitable. Every generation has been asked what kind of nation it wanted to leave behind. Now it’s our turn.

Maybe what so many of us are feeling isn’t hopelessness.

Maybe it’s heartbreak.

And heartbreak means there’s still something left worth saving.

Journalism: My Favorite Class in College. To Actually "BE" Woodward & Bernstein for a Semester. I Interviewed June Moxon & Went to an Earth First Tree Sit Eviction.

June is one of the Main People at the Kinetic Sculpture Race. She was Holding a Fundraiser Open House at the Kinetic Sculpture Laboratory and I Published my Interview BEFORE THE EVENT so Maybe Students That Read the Lumberjack Newspaper WERE MOTIVATED to buy a ticket and Go... My Article Might have Helped Finance the Event! and The RACE!


I Learned a Couple of things in that Class.

If You see Something and Say Something that's an "Opinion" Piece. If You Ask Three People What They Saw... That's a "News" Piece.

I Also Learned to Say Everything You Have to Say in ONE SENTENCE. Then, Say Everything You Have to Say in ONE PARAGRAPH. Then, Say Everything You Have to Say in the Rest of the Article...

The Reader May decide that the Subject is NOT INTERESTING after One Sentence... and Move on to the Next Article... OR they May Read One Paragraph... and then Move on... RARELY do they Read More than That...

I took that Class because My Guidance Councillor said That The Lumberjack Newspaper was Going to Create an Online Edition and the Journalism Department Needed some Computer Experts to Help Them...

Dr. Hal Campbell Said: "This will be an excellent REAL WORLD Learning Experience. Someone Wants Something Done On the Computer... and You are Hired to Make it Happen."

MY NEWSPAPER ARTICLE:
Tree Sit Ecology Protest at Freshwater, near Eureka, CA 2003 - Earth First! - Complete Text of a Newspaper Article I wrote for the Humboldt State University Lumberjack. and Photographs...

HEADLINE: 8 arrested March 18th in Freshwater tree-sit. Trees chainsawed to death.

Freshwater Clearcut Logging near Eureka, CA

This morning I drove to Beautiful Freshwater (near Eureka, California) to visit the Tree Sitters. There were 10 sheriff's cars and 5 highway patrol cars. I saw 3 people handcuffed and then put in a sheriff's van. One person down the road was handcuffed and in the custody of a different sheriff. This lady was wearing "press" dogtags and was complaining that all she was doing was taking photographs. There were about 40 people standing around, talking on cell phones and playing drums. I could hear the sound of chainsawing. Then a large tree fell over. It makes a tearing sound then a big thump and a wail arose from the people. When four highway patrol cars stopped in the middle of the crowd and turned on their spinning lights, I left.(I was afraid of the police...protect and serve...corporations) As I was walking to my truck I noticed another highway patrolman writing tickets. I asked a citizen what that was all about and he said "don't worry about getting a parking ticket, none of these people will pay them anyway". I am concerned about the highway patrol being there. THERE CLEARLY WERE NO HIGHWAY RELATED PROBLEMS THERE. What's up with parking tickets? We were in the middle of the forest.









...this part written later that night...
We went to a protest to defend redwood trees today. There are 8 people that are camping at the top of redwood trees to prevent loggers from chainsawing the trees. The owners of the forest (Palco/MAXXAM) hired a guy (eric schatz)to climb up the trees and forcibly evict the trespassers. Then the Humboldt county sheriff's arrest the tree-sitters and send them to jail. Yesterday, there were 7 tree sitters and the police arrested 3 people. Then, during the night, 4 people went up. The grand total of people INCREASED. The loggers started chainsawing at the bottom of a tree that had people camping in it. This action enraged the crowd. We feel that if a logger cuts down a tree with a person in it that it is dangerous to that person. The loggers cut away a 2 foot circle of bark all the way around the tree. Someone said that was called "girthing" and the purpose was to kill the tree. My wife decided that some medicine was needed for the tree, so we went to the hardware store and bought a bucket of "tree wound" compound. It is used to seal the bare wood after pruning. We drove back to the ecology protest and she (with help from others) spread the healing compound on the bare wood. I got to spend a lot of time talking to a knowledgeable fellow named "Atilla". He said that the MAXXAM corporation has to cut down redwood trees in order to pay the interest on a giant "junk bond" debt. MAXXAM, a texas corporation, purchased the Pacific Lumber Company about 10 years ago in a hostile takeover financed by "junk bonds" that they got from Mike Milken. (remember, Ivan Boesky and Mike went to jail for wall street fraud) I saw on the News tonight that our governor, Gray Davis, has ordered the highway patrol to work 12 hour shifts to help defend the state of California from "terrorist" attacks. GEE, WHY WERE ALL THOSE CHPs OUT IN THE FOREST TODAY ? WHAT TERRORIST ATTACKS WERE THEY DEFENDING US FROM ? Atilla also told me why there were large trucks that look like they carry sand. They are used to haul gravel to build logging roads. After I left the protest in the morning, I drove way back into the woods and noticed large orange trucks with PALCO on the doors. The reason Palco hired a subcontractor (eric schatz)to do "tree service" is to protect themselves from lawsuits in case anyone gets hurt.
How to get there: From highway 101 traveling North, Take the Myrtle ave exit in Eureka and drive to Freshwater road. Take a right and then an IMMEDIATE left onto Greenwood Heights road. Drive 2 miles. When you see all the sheriff cars, you are there. From Arcata, travel south on 101 to Indianola cutoff. Take a left and drive to Myrtle ave. Take a right on Myrtle. Left on Freshwater road.

Silly Story!

A Trump supporter was seated next to an older woman on an airplane and he turned to her and said, “Do you want to talk? Flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.”

The old woman, who had just started to read her book, replied to the total stranger,

“What would you want to talk about?”

“Oh, I don’t know,” said the man. “How about how they stole the election in 2020 and Donald Trump should be president.”

“Okay,” she said. “Those could be interesting topics but let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff – grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, but a horse produces clumps. Why do you suppose that is?”

The man, visibly surprised by the old woman’s intelligence, thinks about it and says, “Hmmm, I have no idea.”

To which the old woman replies, “Do you really feel qualified to discuss politics, when you don’t know shit?”
