Let's Build Solar Panel Parking Lot Shades... Keep Cars Cool and Generate Electricity at the Same Time... AND... Let's Cover California Canals With Solar Panels. Less Evaporation, More Water for Farmers, More Electricity...

Solar Panel Parking Lot Shades. Obvious Winner
Let's Build Solar Panel Parking Lot Shades... Keep Cars Cool and Generate Electricity at the Same Time.

Solar Powered Street Lights Would Save a LOT of Electricity Currently Being Generated in Coal, Natural Gas and Atomic Power Plants and Distributed Using WIRES. That's WASTEFUL and DANGEROUS... PG&E POWER LINES CAUSE FOREST FIRES.

USA at Night - a waste of Electricity - meme

Nothing NEW Needs to Be Invented... We Ought to Simply Replace the Millions of Old Style Street Lights... With Solar Cells and LED Lamps... The Concept of Generating Power in One Central Location and Distributing it to the User is Quite Wasteful... Some Electricity JUST VANISHES over the Long Distance... and DANGEROUS because the Wires Start Forest Fires... PG&E Power Company Just Burned the Entire Town Of Paradise, CA... and It Caused the Company to Go Bankrupt. Distributing Power From a Central Generator is an Obsolete Idea. What if Every House had Solar Panels on the Roof That Provided Enough Electricity to UNPLUG FROM THE GRID...

TAKE ACTION!

Sorry: Governor Newsom Signed the Law that Funds Diablo Canyon... Too Late to Protest This Issue... SAD...
 
If We Run Diablo Canyon for Five More Years We will have Five More Years of Radioactive Waste to Dispose of Safely... and NO PLAN to DO THAT!

Newsom wants to keep Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant open by loaning PG&E $1.4 billion

Just to Make Clear How ABSURD Funding Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant Is: It Heats the Water in the Ocean... and the ICE on the Poles of Planet Earth Is MELTING... Due to Global Warming... Global Warming of Air and Global Warming of WATER... The Same Water that Diablo Canyon is HEATING!

I Deleted over 5 Thousand Emails... What a Huge Waste of Disk Drive Space AND ELECTRICITY... They Are Totally Unimportant Now. Fewer Servers Needed in The Cloud...

I sorted my Emails into Two Folders... I Kept Everything From People I Know and Put Everything Else in the Trash and then Dumped the Trash.

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~

I also deleted 321 Unimportant Photographs from My Google Drive. As a Hobby, I take Screenshots from my Laptop and Make them Into MEMES for Sharing on Social Media... After the Memes are Done, The Screenshots are No Longer Needed and are Simply a Waste of Storage Space...

What IF everyone deleted unimportant emails? Google could power down thousands of Servers - Save a LOT of Electricity currently wasted... 

Remember THE DALLES, Oregon? Both Microsoft and Google have giant warehouses filled with servers there... They chose that location because it's close to Bonneville Dam... Cheap reliable electricity... Hydro Power... Years ago Aluminum Refining companies located there for the same reason... cheap power...

Google is proud to call Oregon home to Google's first owned and operated data center.
We opened our data center at The Dalles in 2006 — over time investing $1.8 billion in The Dalles and establishing a long-term commitment to the region and state. Now a fully operational site, we've created over 200 total jobs, and we work hard to support the communities in which our employees live and work.
Since 2009, Google.org has awarded over $14 million in grants to nonprofits and organizations based in Oregon. Since 2006, our employees based in Oregon — with matching contributions from Google — have donated over $3 million in charitable giving to nonprofits.

Many More Photographs of The Dalles Data Center...

Here's another Total Waste of Electricity...

and "SG" Said: Email uses very little space. I have over 20000 emails... 

I replied: and most of them are unimportant... delete 19,000 and Google could turn off a disc drive... Some of my emails have jpg attachments (large files) and others have pdf attachments (really large files) - and I don't need to look at any of them... 

and I found a SPAM folder with thousands of useless files... I was reminded of this waste of electricity by an article about BITCOIN MINING... How people buy custom designed computers in order to make fantasy money... that goes way way way UP and then POOF! It's Worthless...

and "SG" Said: yeah pdfs are larger but 19000 emails are nothing (without attachments ) but it’s a waste to get rid of them you will have to keep deleting them every day I won’t bother

and I Replied:  I did find some gems I had forgotten about... Pictures and Movies of The Family... Wonderful to watch them again... and Every Email my Father Sent. He has Passed Away and It's Good to read his words...

We Could Make Social Security Solvent by allowing immigrants to move to the USA where they would take jobs and pay into the Social Security System. There are Thousands waiting at the USA Mexico Border that would love to WORK HERE in the USA and Pay Taxes...

In Fact: In the USA, Baby Boomers Voluntarily Chose to use Birth Control and Now there are Not Enough Young People Paying Into the Social Security System to Pay all the Old People That Are Surviving Longer than Ever Before...

But That's Not the Case In Mexico, Central America or South America... In Catholic Countries They Made Plenty of Children...

My Own UFO Story: I saw Strange Lights in the Sky at Sunset. It Remained Unidentified for about 10 Minutes While I Chased it... and Then I Heard the Motorcycle Engine above Me and I Realized that it was an Ultralight Airplane. It had Two Automobile Headlights... That's What I Saw... Disappointing... But Chasing a UFO is FUN! 

and I Participated in the Mark Sims Harmonic Convergence... We Had a Synchronized Global Meditation with Chanting... Outdoors at Night... Inviting Aliens to Come and Visit... We are Ready and Welcome Extra Terrestrials With Open Hearts... Totally Disappointing... Nothing... But it was Fun to Sit Calmly and look at the Stars... and Let My Thoughts Go Wild... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyuT79j3PUc



Ezekiel's Wheel floating over Orangevale, CA


George's UFO Story: As a Sailor in the US Navy they were in a Ship near Antarctica and South America. He Saw a Flying Craft that Came very close to the Ship, circled around a couple of times and then Left. Then the Captain Spoke on the Intercom and said. "None of Us Saw Anything and We Shall Never Speak of this Again." And they didn't... Until many years later when George was a Civilian... He said that was all he knew... 

Mike's UFO Story: Mike never saw anything odd while flying in an airplane. His father did. His father worked as a Commercial Jet Pilot and He Saw a Flock of Flying Saucers while on a flight in Florida. He Mentioned them to Ground Control and They Said "We See them Too. Your Report is noted. Stay on Course" The Flying Saucers did not Interfere with the airplane's Flight and so the Passengers were not Informed. End of Story. 

Ezekiel's Story: From the Bible... He saw a Flying Craft That Looked Like Wheels within Wheels with Eyes all around...

fire fighting Helicopter dipping a bucket in water
Here's a Helicopter Dipping a Bucket into a River to Drop Water on a Wildfire. We need to Buy 1,000 of these to put out Fires THIS SUMMER! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerial_firefighting Remember Last Summer we had Fires near Lake Tahoe and Lake Almanor? Plenty of Water... Not enough Helicopters... DUH!
A helicopter bucket is a specialised bucket suspended on a cable carried by a helicopter to deliver water for aerial firefighting. Each bucket has a release valve on the bottom which is controlled by the helicopter crew. When the helicopter is in position, the crew releases the water to extinguish or suppress the fire below.
Fire Fighting Helicopter with Water Bucket

We Need 100 More Fire Fighting Helicopters in the USA. Simply Dip a Bucket in a Lake, Dump Water on the Fire. Tell Your Elected Officials That We Want Them to Take Action!


The Entire West is Burning... Every Year there will be MORE MORE MORE fires... and Two of California's Massive Fires - Were Near Lakes... One Near Lake Tahoe and One Near Lake Almanor... and Both Lakes Had Water in them... We Could Have Put those Fires Out Early... If We Only Had Helicopters.

An excellent place to watch the Race on Day 1 is the Manila Elementary School... They have live music, kiddy bounce, food and bathrooms... and the Schulptures Change Tires to SAND Worthy Tires. 

If You Can, walk over to the Beach and watch the Sculptures travel along the coast and then UP a Sand Dune (quite difficult) and DOWN Dead Man's Drop. (even more difficult)

When we smile, our brain releases tiny molecules called neuropeptides to help fight off stress. Other neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin and endorphins come into play too when we smile as well! These chemicals are relased when we fake smile or fake laugh because our brain can't differentiate between what's real or what's fake because it interprets the positioning of the facial muscles in the same way!
If you don't feel like smiling you can place a pencil in your mouth and that's a sign for the brain that says, "Oh, these muscles are activated, that means we are happy", and wooosh! Chemicals are released. - found on The Larisa Stow FaceBORG Group.

and then a guy on FaceBORG Said: I moved to San Francisco from the burbs in 1982. I brought with me my old bike, a Schwinn Varsity 10 speed road bike that was heavy as hell. I moved into my recording studio in a basement at 16th and Guerrerro, underneath Sefi’s Restaurant. I loved riding thru out the city early in the morning before most people were awake starting about 4:30 AM. At that time, the streets were mostly empty, void of people rushing to work or taking kid’s to school, or city trucks and busses getting ready for the day’s chores. I road up one hill and down another. Russian Hill, Coit Tower, the Embarcadero, down piers watching fishing boats up loading the catch of the day, Crissy Field, cross the Golden Gate Bridge, ride thru Golden Gate park and it’s lakes, rode the length of Ocean Beach, sometimes up Sloat, passing the Zoo and Doggie Diner, circled Lake Merced, or cruised the Mission District. There’s just too many sections of the city to keep listing. I loved exploring with hardly anyone around…. totally peaceful and meditative San Francisco. The one thing I didn’t do, was ride down Market Street in rush hour traffic or zip around like the wild bike messengers that I almost hit in my car several times as they yelled obscenities at me. Well it’s Monday and I’m home in Santa Cruz taken my first sip! Good morning!

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.

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...
