Zoning Laws seem very strange, quaint and Obsolete. It days gone by it made sense to have Smokestack Factories in a different location from Homes. Now it just means we all have a long commute to get to work... at office jobs...

Maybe we should recycle all the abandoned shopping malls and turn them into light industrial office complexes. Those long commutes in cars release a lot of exhaust that causes Global Warming.

"Make America Greta Again" - Climate Change is Real and Caused By Human Behavior... Here are Some Simple Things We Can Do To Help Prevent Disaster.


Drive Cars Less. WAY Less... The Next Time You Change Jobs, Select a Location NEAR HOME to Reduce Time and Money Wasted Commuting to Work... I was Lucky Enough to Be Able to Ride the Bus to Work in Both Eureka and San Jose, California... It was a LOT of Fun Chatting with the Other Bus Riders... Especially the Beautiful Women... You Can't Do THAT is a Car... 

Stop Flying in Jet Airplanes. Is There REALLY a Need to FLY? Where are You Going that Couldn't Be Done Using a Picture Phone???  Do Your  Business Meetings Online... and Try Your Next Vacation Near Home... Maybe Camping in the Sierras??? Or Hiking the Appalachian Trail???

Eat Fewer Hamburgers... A LOT of Global Warming is Caused by Cows... Maybe Those Meat Alternative are worth Checking Out? OR... Maybe Just Enjoy those Ancient Meals Like a Falafel? Middle Eastern Pocket Bread, Ground Garbanzo Bean Mash Deep Fat Fried, Lettuce, Onions, Tomatoes and INSANELY HOT SAUCE! 

Stop buying New Clothes... Every Time You Buy New, a Corporation Collects Raw Materials, Employs Slaves in Asia to Make the Garment and Ships them By Boat Half Way Around the World and then Drives Them in Trucks to You... Why Not Just Go to Your Local Thrift Store and Buy Recycled Clothes? Our Thrift Store is a Benefit for the Eureka Homeless Shelter. Employing Homeless People and Paying for the Rescue Mission's Food and Rent Bills from their Profits. We Bought a Couch, two chairs, a Piano and Countless Books there... It Wonderful! and they Deliver!

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.
