Actual Reality is Better Than Looking at a Phone, TV or Computer. Smell, Taste and Touch are Missing from Digital Life. However...

Computer Art by gvan42 - Javascript Colortable Program

However there are some Dramatic Advantages to the Digital Life... Touching Actual Humans can Spread Disease... Remember the AIDS Quilt? 
and Sometimes "Surprise" Children! OOPS!

and In The Digital World it's Possible to Come Back to Life after Dying... That's a Basic Concept in "Shoot 'em Up" Video Games... Totally Different than Actually Being a Soldier... OOPS! Stepped on a Land Mine, Now I'm a Cripple for the Rest of my Life! If You Came Back to Life in Reality, They would Name a Religion after You! Look at all the Yadda-Yadda about Jesus!

and In Reality I'm a Terrible Artist... I took Acrylic Painting in College and I Admit I'm Pathetic... However, Using a Computer, I'm a Genius!

Online, "Remote Viewing" is Easy... I've Traveled all over the World using "Television" - a Word that means to See from Afar... and With Google Maps Street View, Satellite Images and Uploaded Pictures from People... I Just Completed a Virtual Journey over the Bigfoot Highway - from Arcata on the West Coast of Northern California to Redding in the Central Valley. I didn't Have to Buy any Gasoline! and I Got to Go Places that I'm Forbidden to Enter... but the Owners are Delighted to Upload Photos! For Example: This Picture of the Control Room at the Vogtle Nuclear Power Plant in Georgia... NO WAY Could I Ever See This in Reality!

Here's Another Virtual Journey: Bridgeville UFO Festival, CA, USA on Hwy 36 in Remote Humboldt County - From Highway 101 thru The Van Duzen River Valley, The Town of Mad River. All the Way to Red Bluff in the Central Valley.

and Virtual Journey: Lost Coast, CA, USA on Highway 211 - From Victorian Ferndale to The Beach, the Mountains of Mateel to the Avenue of the Giants. Humboldt County.

Just for fun I drove all over Remote Humboldt County California and Took Pictures! and I Find that Other People Have Done That TOO.

It was Rare that I would Attend the Kinetic Sculpture Race on Day Three 
when they Arrive in Victorian Ferndale... 
Mainly because I had Gone to Day 1 in 
Arcata and Day 2 in Eureka and I Had 
Seen Enough... BUT... Someone 
Else Documented The Finish Line and 
I can See it from the Comfort of my Air Conditioned Home...

Founded in 1975, the Mattole Valley Community Center (MVCC) has occupied this renovated old schoolhouse since 1978. The MVCC is home to many activities.

American History: "The Thunder Machine" made by Ron Boise was used by Ken Kesey at the Acid Tests. It was a Giant Sheet Metal Sculpture that you Got Inside and Played like a Drum.

I didn't Go to Any of the Acid Tests... 
I was in 6th Grade During the Summer of Love.
But We Have Films of the Grateful Dead playing at

I always wondered... are there any Unique 
Features of People Born in the Spring of
1968? Conceived During the Summer of 
Love... are They Special? 










and then on FaceBORG SE SAID: When it comes to live music, the venue matters to me as much as the band. If I don't enjoy the venue, I'm not going to enjoy the band either.

VKK Said: Do you like shoreline? I used to go there all the time but now a lot of these venues where you have to have clear bags, you can't even bring purses in anymore which is lame... 

and SE Replied:  I used to go there a lot, but I don't think I've been there since the 90's. There wasn't much security back then. People used to bring in outside food, and that was part of the fun, but I don't think they allow that anymore. And I've never been anywhere that requires clear bags. I understand that we need extra security now than we did then, but it does sound like it would be a huge pain.
and I Replied: I went to the shoreline to a Furthur Festival and sat on a grassy hill in the parking lot... all the people that didn't want to spend money on a ticket were there... we had a great time... Many Grateful Dead type bands... and I remember they Played "Tomorrow Never Knows" by the Beatles... and there was the Sound of a Train Driving By... and that really freaked me out because there are NO TRAINS in that area... anyway, Shoreline is built on a Garbage Dump... a Little Heads UP in case you don't care for TOXIC Chemicals...


So the Oakland Stadium is No Good? Wait! There you are in the Front Row of this Video! I See You! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxIWDmmqZzY

Now That I Have Become a Member of the Silent Majority, I Totally Support the FBI ARRESTING Crazy TrumpNiks® #FundThePolice - We Will Need a LOT of Empty Jail Cells for Domestic Terrorists... So... FREE ALL THE CANNABIS PRISONERS to Make Room!

On 12/6/2020 I Wrote The Following Blog Post... I've Changed My Mind Since Then! I Find That WHEN I'M WRONG It's Really Easy For Me to Change My Mind... Try IT! You Might Like IT!

Let's Cut The Police Force in Half. How to Contact Your Senators and Representatives. Fewer Police = More Safety. Police Need MORE TRAINING About How to STOP MURDERING UNARMED CITIZENS
You may phone the U.S. Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121. A switchboard operator will connect you directly with the Senate or House office you request.

Senate EMAIL:
https://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm


House EMAIL: 
https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative

They Won't Know Your Opinion Unless You Contact Them... 

Here is what I Wrote to Ami Bera and Dianne Feinstein:

"Let's CUT the Police Force in Half Nationwide. 
Fewer Police = More Safety. Let's Lay Off Half of the Policemen and Refund Their Wasted Salaries TO THE TAXPAYERS. Since ACTUAL CRIME is Down, Why Do We Need So Many Cops? Legalize Marijuana Nationwide and Free ALL The Cannabis Prisoners. More VOLUNTARY TAXES going into the Government's Coffers and LESS SPENT on Law Enforcement. EVERYBODY WINS!"

and... To Kamala Harris I Said:

"Let's Cut The Police Force in Half Nationwide. Refund Their Wasted Salaries to the Taxpayers. and... Legalize Marijuana, Free All the Cannabis Prisoners.

Police are a Menace to Society. Fewer Police means More Safety. Fire Half of them. Retrain them to Do USEFUL WORK... and... Legalize Marijuana Nationwide. Collect VOLUNTARY TAXES on it. Free All the Cannabis Prisoners. That Means MORE MONEY GOING INTO THE GOVERNMENT AND LESS SPENT ON LAW ENFORCEMENT. Everybody Wins. We Could Use the Empty Jail Cells as a Homeless Shelter..." 

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

Remember: The Actual Crime Rate Is Down. Let's Lay Off Half The Police For LACK OF NEED... They are Bored, Heavily Armed with Nothing to Do and Therefore It's No Surprise That They GET IN TROUBLE... https://gvan42.blogspot.com/2020/06/actual-crime-rate-is-down-lets-lay-off.html

Read a Newspaper Article I Wrote for the Humboldt State University Lumberjack Newspaper: 

Welcome to Freshwater, California USA. Location of a year long tree-sit Protesting Logging of the Redwood Forest. The people living in the trees were evicted by Eric Schatz... A Sub contractor working for MAXXAM Corporation.

View from the top of Freshwater Valley near Eureka, California. Looking at the Ocean... Now that MAXXAM has cut down all the trees, it's easy to get a fine view of the valley below. 

Freshwater, CA Ecology Protest Tree Sit Earth First! - Redwood Trees


We went to a tree-sit/ecology action where 9 Earth First!ers were arrested. (full text of newspaper article I wrote) It Happened on Greenwood Heights road. That road goes very far up into the hills of the Trinity Alps near the area called Kneeland. It's a totally different climate up there in comparison to Eureka. It's hot grassland with cattle ranches.

How to fix the Waiting for Edge Chat error in the Farmville Game. DELETE COOKIES, RESTART GAME. and tips for playing Farmville.

In Google Chrome: Delete History/Clear Browsing Data prevents the error message from appearing... I keep the Passwords only...

Be aware that you will have to sign in again to all the websites you like... but the passwords will be stored, so that's easy to do... be aware that this is a temporary fix... I have to do it every time I want to play Farmville... and I have read that this infection happens on all games.

I Check EVERYTHING except passwords... 

A simple way to avoid annoying error messages on the computer is to put a piece of paper over the location of the message... often while I play Farmville, it says "waiting for edge chat facebook com" ... because the game is failing to connect with something I don't care about... the message is always in the lower left hand corner of the screen... so, a piece of paper folded in half removes that message from my sight...

Optional: Run Disk Cleanup... Good to do Occasionally... 
When I run Disk Cleanup... I select My Files Only, 
Drive C: OK... OK... Are You Sure? Delete Files.
deleting unnecessary files from my computer. 



Sometimes the error message will re-appear days later... so once again I delete history in Google Chrome... everything except passwords and the message stops appearing...

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.

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...
