Attention Jet Set: STOP Flying. Too Damn Dangerous! Also... Flying Causes Air Pollution & Climate Change... NO LONGER Groovy...

REFUSE TO FLY! Stay Home and Visit using the Internet... Zoom, Zoom, Zoom...

Remember: It's NOT REALLY Exxon, Chevron, BP and Shell That is CAUSING CLIMATE CHANGE... 

It's the People That BUY GAS for Cars... It's the People That Travel using Jet Fuel... 

Those Oil Companies are Just Giving the People What We Want... 

Simply Reduce Traveling and Stop Polluting the Air. Stay Home... Commute shorter Distances for Your Job... Refuse to FLY Totally!

Headline: More than 9,000 US flights delayed or canceled after severe storms. 

https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/27/business/flight-delays-cancellations-us-storms/index.html

Headline: Airline delays and cancellations are bad. Ahead of the holiday weekend, they're getting worse... JUST REFUSE TO BE A PART OF THE JET SET.

I used to be one of "THOSE" People... But Gradually I Became Aware... I was motivated to QUESTION JET AIRPLANE TRAVEL by Greta Thunberg... 

HEADLINE: Air travel is a huge contributor to climate change. A new global movement wants you to be ashamed to fly.

Greta Thunberg gave up flights to fight climate change. Should you?

In Fact... I used to Drive All Over the Country Just to Attend Grateful Dead Concerts... Never Once thinking about Burning Gasoline and Causing Climate Change... I Didn't Have a Clue... but NOW... I Grasp the Concept! 

But the MAIN CAUSE of Climate Change is People Driving to Work. Not Only is Commuting bad for the Inhabitants of Planet Earth but it's a Horrible Waste of Your Life... If you spend Two Hours a Day in Your Car... You miss out on time that Could be spent Playing with your children... or reading a book... or writing, painting, drawing,  composing, anything! Living!

Next time you choose a new job... Consider that the Commute is SUPER IMPORTANT! You spend money on GAS and auto repairs and LOSE PART OF YOUR LIFE!

One Solution would be for the Owners of all those Vacant Office Buildings in San Francisco to Convert them to Apartments... or Condos... People Would Love to Live in San Francisco if they have a Job there... This Would be a WIN WIN...

Corporate Greed Freaks are Ruining America. Who Raised the Price of Gasoline? Darren Woods, Mike Wirth, Ben van Beurden, Wael Sawan, Joseph W. Gorder and Bernard Looney. These People are Sick and Need Help.

Remember: Selecting the Price of Gasoline is a Voluntary Choice. These Men Chose to Raise the Price WAY UP and Then Profits Went WAY UP. There was No Valid Excuse for Raising Gasoline Prices Right Before an Election Except to INFLUENCE That Election... To Campaign for Republicans that Promise More Tax Cuts for the Rich... "SEE? Democrats are Doing a Bad Job of Governing... Just LOOK at these Gas Prices! Throw 'em OUT!" Became the GOP Rallying Cry...

Public Shaming is Likely to be the Best

LEGAL Plan for Making them Behave for the

All the Gold for Themselves... an example of 

Compulsive Hoarding of Money Syndrome. 

Of Course, The People of France Faced this Exact 

Same Problem in 1789... and OFF With Their Heads

was the Solution... Guillotines in the Public Square.

What ever Happened to Trump's Boogaloo? 

Was January 6th Their Only Action? Did the

Arrest and Incarceration of Over 900 QAnon

Freaks STOP THEIR REVOLUTION? 

Now would be a Great Time for the Boogaloos

CEOs of Oil and Gas Companies are CAUSING

Gouging... Skyrocketing Gas Prices just to Take

More Money from the 99% and Give it to the 1%...

I am the High Tech Hero! I fixed a Ding Dong Emergency Bell for another Resident... Whenever She wants the Care Giver to go help her she pushes a button and a box in the Kitchen goes Ding Dong... Until it Just Failed... For No Reason... So.... The Equipment has NO Name on it... just the words "Made in China" - So I took a photo of the box, did a Google Search By Image, found a similar picture that lead me to an owners manual... Read the Instructions and figured out How to Reset the Machine... Simply push and hold the "Sound Selector" button for Five Seconds...

So... If You are in a Similar Situation... Remember that You Can Take a Photo and Do a Image Search by Photo... Excellent!

"As the highs and lows disappear...

we sometimes feel a sadness and depression, a sense of having lost the richness of the romance of life. Indeed, an awakened being is not romantic, for nothing is special anymore. Every moment is all of it. No romance. Just the coming and the going. Coming and going.

The dark night of the soul is when you have lost the flavor of life but have not yet gained the fullness of divinity.

So it is that we must weather that dark time, the period of transformation when what is familiar has been taken away and the new richness is not yet ours."

~ Ram Dass

Travel Causes Climate Change - JUST DON'T GO! Burning Gasoline in Cars to Go to Grandma's House? That's CRAZY!

How To Stop Climate Change. Cut Driving 50% in Cars and Trucks that Burn Gasoline. End Flying in Jet Airplanes. JUST DON'T GO! 

Just Last Summer, Instead of Riding in a Car to my Brother's Wedding... I Watched it On ZOOM... Glad I Did! Not Only a waste of Gasoline, but the Hotel was Expensive! I Would Have Gone but My In-Law Was Supposed to Drive and Cancelled at the Last Minute. and I Don't Own a Car... 

Here are Some Simple Ecological Actions that Anyone Can Do! 

Let's Move Office Jobs to Vacant Shopping Mall Stores. That would cut commuting to work a lot. And People would have an extra hour a day to play with their kids... or Whatever makes You Beatific!

90% of Jet Airplane Travel Is Not Needed... It's Voluntary Creation of Air Pollution that Causes Global Warming... Have a Zoom Meeting instead!

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

Another Ecology Tip!

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~ 

When It's Too Cold, Turn Off the Air Conditioning... We Could Save a LOT of Electricity if OSHA Didn't Require That Public Buildings Run The A/C When It's Already Too Cold.

At Work We Had the Freedom to place an Electric Space Heater under our Desks. So the Air Conditioning was Running AT THE SAME TIME as the Space Heaters. Using Vast Amounts of Power... as the Heaters Fought the Coolers! 

Really! I'm Not Making This UP!

I believe this is a CAL/OSHA Issue and So I wrote to My California Representative: Find Yours!  

https://findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov/

Kevin Kiley: https://ad06.asmrc.org/

Brian Dahle: https://dahle.cssrc.us/

Another Simple Way to Save Electricity in Buildings. Allow Windows TO OPEN so that Outside Air Can Freely Blow In... Allow Humans to Control the Thermostat. #Activist #Ecology #Environment

About Half the Time, the Weather Outside is Fine... No Need to Run an Air conditioner OR a Heater... Just Leave those Machines OFF, Using Zero Energy. Just Open a Window and Enjoy the Fresh Air...  

In Modern Office Buildings The Windows Do Not Open and The Thermostat is Set by OSHA Regulation. 

I worked for Years in an Office Where the Thermostat was Locked inside a Box to Prevent Employees from Changing the Temperature. OFTEN The Setting was WRONG and People took Action to Correct it. 

We Found that The Plastic Box Around the Thermostat Could be Defeated Using a Fingernail File... Look at YOUR Thermostat in YOUR Office... so we changed the temperature AND NEVER TOLD THE BOSS... "It's Magic! I Have NO IDEA How The Thermostat Changed... " and It's a Classic Example of a MAN designing a Machine and TOTALLY FORGETTING THAT A COMMON TOOL could defeat the Machine... Because Only a WOMAN has a Fingernail File in her Purse... HA HA!

Adobe Houses are Very Energy Efficient and Quiet. Thick Mud Walls stay Cool in the Summer, Warm in the Winter. AND THEY RESIST FOREST FIRES... Tile Roofs Don't Burn!

When we rebuild Paradise and Santa Rosa, California it might be an Opportunity to Use Smart Design Ideas. I remember going inside the Mission Santa Clara on a Hot Summer Day... It was Cool... and Dark... Stained Glass Windows...

Built over 200 years ago, it has withstood Earthquakes. Especially 1906 San Francisco and Oakland During the World Series Baseball Game...

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

Solar Powered Street Lights Would Save a LOT of Electricity Currently Being Generated in Coal, Natural Gas and Atomic Power Plants and Distributed Using the Grid. WASTEFUL and DANGEROUS... POWER LINES CAUSE FOREST FIRES.

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...

and I Commented... 

I went to a Lot of Anti-War Protest Marches in Washington DC During George Bush The Father's Iraq War. Including Tripping on LSD in Lafayette Park... and Walking to the Lincoln Memorial... Where we were FACED WITH A CHOICE... The Parade permit expired at 4 PM and anyone In The Street at 4:01 Would be Arrested... WELL, Should I Get Arrested? or Not? Would going to Jail be "A Trippy Experience?" - I chose to NOT get arrested and spent the rest of my Trip in the Smithsonian...

I also got to play the drums in Lafayette Park... in Big Drum Circles...Including a Big Bass Drum Used in a Marching Band... 

A guy said: I'm tired, YOU play this for a while... and That was EPIC...

The REPUBLICAN PARTY is PULLING LEVER TO TRAP DOOR

ONLY BECAUSE HE'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH AT BEING BAD

By Victoria Williams on FB

They’re rejecting him not because of the countless ways in which he inflamed and imperiled this country, not because he’s an offense to decency and an enemy of democracy, not because he degrades almost anything and anyone he brushes up against.

They’re just peeved at his losing streak.

It’s about math, not morals, and for that reason, there will quite possibly be a next Trump and a Trump after that.

I don’t mean Ivanka, his fair-weather fair-haired daughter, whose self-absorption is self-evident in the studied distance she now keeps from dotty old Dad.

I don’t mean Don Jr., who has her gift for grift but not her guile.

I mean someone whose case to Republicans is about the attainment of power, not the exercise of principle, which the party torched in its dance with the Donald.

As best as I can tell, it hasn’t learned any lesson from that.

It’s just trying to plot a path out of the ashes.

Fireplace inside the Historic Hotel at Crater Lake. After spending a night there I checked out and when I left... there was a solid sheet of Ice covering everything... so there was NO DRIVING POSSIBLE... and there was also NO WALKING TO MY VAN Either... so I turned Right around and went back to the Front Desk and Told 'em I wasn't leaving after all... and they gave me Stationary and Envelopes and I sat and Wrote letters to my Family while observing the Fire... then I ate a fine Breakfast... and The Ice had Melted...
