May 28th 2022 at Noon in Arcata, CA, May 29th Eureka, May 30th Ferndale. My Favorite Place is the Manila Cultural Center where they Change Tires From Street to Sand... and a Rock Concert, Kidde Bounce and Food... See the Sculptures Up Close.

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.

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...
