Photos of a Visit to the Lolita Cheese Factory near Eureka, California - and the Happy Cows Near FERNDALE in the Beautiful EEL River Valley...

My dad took a bus ride with the Willow Glen, CA senior center to visit Bear River Casino and the Lolita Cheese Factory. It was one of the last visits we had. We met at the casino near Eureka (where I lived) and I drove him around in my Ford Windstar Van. It was a great visit and we had long chats... A good ending to a long life. He was proud that I was sober, employed, married and taking care of myself. "See, I Raised You Good..."

Looking at Eureka in the Distance

Dolos are Giant Concrete Objects that are used to Build Breakwaters... The ODD SHAPE prevents Ocean Waves from Washing them Away... Originally, The Jetties Were Built using Giant Rocks but... Storms Washed them Away... 
 They are about TEN Feet from End to End...

I Wonder if Building THE WALL will actually accomplish anything? Won't "they" just Use Boats in the Gulf Of Mexico to Go around the Wall? Or Cross at Official Points of Entry? We Shall SEE...

It's interesting to realize that Climate Change has caused Drought for Farmers in Central America and they will starve to death in their home countries... and Starvation is an unstoppable force... Just like the Irish Potato Famine...

HEADLINE: San Onofre Nuclear Waste Disposal Troubles.
One thing for sure... DO NOT make any more Nuclear Waste... We have too much already... although making Uranium Bullets and Shells and shooting them in IRAQ was a clever disposal plan... Causing miscarriages for thousands of years... Classic Genocide... Nuclear Metals of Concord Mass made the Bullets, declared bankruptcy and now it's an EPA Superfund Cleanup Site... https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2019-07-27/san-onofre-nuclear-waste-disposal

 Trump's Tax Cut for the Rich FAILED TRAGICALLY... We'll all be going down into Global Economic Collapse due to his BRAINDEAD BUSINESS ACTIONS... The biggest contributor to the $4.1 trillion that will be added to the national debt through 2029 is the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. This signature tax cut legislation signed by Trump in 2017 single-handedly increased the debt by $1.8 trillion, according to CRFB.

 I WONDER, CAN HE PAY HIS FINE IN BITCOINS? Does Honey Badger Suddenly CARE?

 HEADLINE: The Trump administration has filed a $100 million lawsuit against infamous bitcoin exchange BTC-e and its alleged operator, Russian national Alexander Vinnik.

 Vinnik, who remains in custody in Greece as governments worldwide jockey to extradite him, stands accused of laundering billions of dollars worth of cryptocurrency stolen from other exchanges, most notably Mt. Gox. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-doj-sues-infamous-bitcoin-120414570.html

 Trump's So Called Economic Boom only benefits the Super Rich... Everyone Else is Harmed by his "BRAINDEAD" Policy... Headline: Financial Crisis Yields a Generation of Renters... Many young adults are priced out of the housing market. That could reshape their finances—and the economy—for years to come. https://www.wsj.com/articles/financial-crisis-yields-a-generation-of-renters-11564228800

Trump has announced "It's Infrastructure Week" THREE TIMES but Absolutely NOTHING has been Done. NOW HIRING at CALTRANS.

My Autobiography: Growing Up in Los Gatos, California in the 1960s by Gregory Vanderlaan - and Living in San Jose, Washington DC, Chico, Eureka and Orangevale, CA.

I Was Born in 1954. We lived Near the San Jose Airport until they Started Landing Jet Airplanes and We had to move... We went to Los Gatos in 1960. I lived there until graduation from Los Gatos High School in 1972... an Ideal Childhood... FYI: Los Gatos is about 50 miles South of San Francisco on the edge of the mountains between San Jose and Santa Cruz.

I Went to West Valley Jr. College, learned electronics drafting and got a job at System Industries in Santa Clara... I feel blessed that not only did I grow up in a great location but I also grew up at a great time. I missed the Vietnam War by ONE Year and Silicon Valley Was Hiring Like Crazy When I Needed a Job.

History of the Vietnam War. 58,000 Americans Died for Nothing... Something They Don't Teach in School Now... "Too Controversial" -

During the 1950s Americans went into a Mad Panic about Communists taking over the world. We built thousands of Nuclear Missiles and Fallout Shelters. The US Congress had witch hunts (Joe McCarthy-HUAC) to expose "Commies" who worked in The Hollywood Movie business and blacklisted folksingers that were leading our young people astray with Labor Union Organizing songs.


During the height of this hysteria Vice President Richard Nixon went on Television and explained "The Domino Principle" while pointing to a map of Asia. His theory was...
