Alternative Hobbies for Old White Men. Instead of Running for President, Biden, Sanders and Trump ought to consider becoming a Docent at a Railroad Museum. They could Dress up in Conductor Uniforms and Blow the Steam Whistle... Or Sit on the Front Porch of a Cabin in the Woods and Play the Banjo...


George Bush the Son has taken up Portrait Painting... Jimmy Carter Volunteers to build Houses... Lyndon Johnson Drank Himself to Death... Whatever... There are MANY ALTERNATIVE HOBBIES...

Free Coloring Book by gvan42 - VW BUS - Elizabeth Warren for President


I personally am an old white man... I retired and let the young people take control of the office... I wished them Good Luck and Did Not Check to see if they were doing a good job... If they succeed or fail it's not my business anymore... I found that NOT GOING TO THE OFFICE allowed me to do things that I've always wanted to do but did not have the free time... Biden, Sanders and Trump could try letting go and do something completely different instead...  I selected to Travel all over the Western United States... I also built a You Tube Channel with 60 music videos of me Singing and Playing the Guitar... I also smoked a Pound of Marijuana... It took me eight months but I did get stoned all day every day... then I quit abruptly but remained stoned for over a month from the THC stored in my fat cells/bloodstream... I had selected to go on a springtime vacation and took a drive to the deserts of Nevada... I did not want to carry any ILLEGAL DRUGS with me so I simply quit smoking dope 100%... For safety's sake I did not want to break any laws while traveling because I always meet policemen when driving around... but I tested positive for THC over a month after I quit smoking... I visited a Fantasy World that Did Not Exist... And it was very beautiful... For example: One Night I saw a CAT that was about the same size as a German Shepard Dog... when I went up to pet it, I found that it was not there... it was just a trick of the neighbors lights as seen thru bushes...

After I got out of the mental hospital I wrote my Autobiography and Designed a FREE Coloring Book... I Published Both online on MANY Blogs... Then I published every idea I've ever had, every opinion, every experience, and what I've learned... I've been communicating with the People of the World and the Google Search Engine for 20 years... I learned in the late 1990s that it was possible to write words that can only be seen by the search engine and so I've been encouraging the "Giant Made of Sand" to awaken... Consider that Google is made out of silicon dioxide (sand) and consider that it could happen that it wakes up and becomes conscious... Google know a LOT about me... I've told it almost everything...  If it becomes possible for me to become an IDURU... I have prepared The Internet to Re-animate me after I'm Dead...

Look at Mitch McConnell, clearly he could go fishing... Maybe he could take up front porch sitting and whittling... Get a remote cabin in the woods and go hunting with dogs... Instead he prevents all bills passed by the Democratic House from being considered by the US Senate... He opposes voting... any law that makes Democracy Possible he is against... He is in favor of Corruption... There is a bill passed by the House of Representatives that seeks to end corruption, encourage voting and prevent rich people from buying Senators... Mitch Is totally opposed to this bill...

Republicrimes also opposes the GREEN NEW DEAL because... Coal mining corporations Bribe Senators and The President to Support Coal Mining... Murray Energy gave President Trump a Million Dollars to help the Trump Campaign and Then Trump invented the Phrase "Clean Coal" and has appointed a Coal mine Lobbyist to run the EPA. "Clean Coal" does not actually exist... It's just a Fake Buzzword to allow Corporations to Pollute the Air and Water without Government Regulations preventing them from wrecking the planet and Causing health problems in people...

This is what Socialism Look Like:
The State of Wyoming just passed a law providing Taxpayer Dollars to Subsidize Coal Power Plants that Can't Compete with Solar and Wind Power... Using Taxpayer Dollars to Fund Industries that are Economically Invalid... It is simply cheaper to build Solar, Wind and Hydro power plants than it is to Burn Coal...

I look at TrumpNiks Like Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen and wonder... If they had Taken LSD during the Sixties would they have learned that there is more to life than just getting rich? Consider this... I've met a LOT of people and those of us who have had the LSD Experience have turned out to be really nice people... In general we are interested in Art and Music... Those people who did not take a psychedelic trip are often interested in "Being the Boss" and telling other people what to do... Compulsive Hoarding of Money Syndrome is a Classic SYMPTOM... He is now going to Prison because he was addicted to stealing money... SAD...

Remember, there are TWO WAYS to get everything you want. Get More or Want Less... Look at the world around you and NOTICE the difference of the behavior of Acid Heads and Straights... For Example: Look at Nancy Reagan... Addicted to Doctor Prescribed Speed, she "Saw the Error of Her Ways" and decided to stop taking drugs... and then she decided that EVERYONE should stop taking drugs... Did you notice that she was extremely skinny and displayed the classic METH MONKEY body?

"Control Freaks" on Parade! OBEY!
A classic example of the strange desire of Imposing Your Beliefs on Other People is the Laws about Abortion... Republicrimes want to FORCE women to give Birth to Unwanted Babies...  This is a Bizarre Mental Illness... A Sickness of People Frantically Compelling Others TO OBEY! While The vast majority of people in the USA want to keep Abortion Legal, the 'POWER MAD" Republicrimes want to force women to GO BACK TO THE COATHANGER.

 I know a woman who did not want to have another baby and so she threw herself out of a moving car and landed on her stomach... It was an attempt to trigger a miscarriage... That was in the dark old days when abortion was illegal... I personally think women should make their own choices... I have no desire to force them TO OBEY... My friend was successful in having a miscarriage and she survived the auto "accident" and never got pregnant again... Not exactly the finest Medical Procedure... Another common medical procedure was for the Father to Hit the Mother in the Belly with his Fists... That's what the "Anti-Abortion Activists" want us all to do... No one could Possibly confuse Wife Beating with being "Pro-Life." It's just a desperate attempt to force other people to OBEY... Instead of Going to a Doctor to Get a Safe Abortion, Republicrimes want people to Get their Abortions in Tijuana... CRAZY!

Go take a walk in the Redwood Forest... The Arcata Community Forest is Especially Fine as it's So Very Close to Civilization... A Study in Contrasts!


Go take a walk in the Redwood Forest... The Arcata Community Forest is Especially Fine as it's So Very Close to Civilization... A Study in Contrasts! One Day, during a class on ecology, a classmate of mine wanted to hold the class outdoors but she was too shy to propose this action... so she told me... I'm not shy, and Spoke Up... the teacher, Dick Hansis, Agreed IF... I lead the Walk in the woods and... NO ONE TALKED the entire Hike... SO, We went up into the Forest behind the Tennis Courts at HSU and... The at Next Class Meeting we Talked about our Experience. His Class was Wonderful because He Introduced us to the Writing of Derrick Jensen and Bill McKibben... Later, Derrick Spoke to our Class in person and then He gave a Teach-In At the Field next to the DOME... HSU was a Wonderful Four Years of My Life... https://thelumberjack.org/2019/08/31/explorehumboldt-the-arcata-community-forest/

In the history of modern civilization, we’ve witnessed four major revolutions that forever changed the way the world operates. From the impact of irrigation on hunting and gathering in an agrarian economy, to the impact of assembly lines in a manufacturing economy, to the evolution of the workforce in the industrial economy, society was forced to rethink the jobs we inhabit, the businesses we operate and the cities we live in. And, while each of these revolutions built the foundation for the world we live in today, businesses and global economies that refused to evolve, or couldn’t evolve in time, were left behind. Innovation and new technology are indisputably the cornerstone of every revolution—disrupting practices that once defined life as we knew it and making what seemed impossible at the time a reality—but, humans are the stewards.  Fast forward to present day and a new revolution is underway: The Digital Revolution. Once again... https://www.forbes.com/sites/deanstoecker/2020/02/25/the-fourth-revolution-the-age-of-digital-enlightenment/#6a5abe6c60e5

As past research has found a link between happiness and a relationship with nature in adults, the authors of the paper published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology wanted to see if the same is true in kids. The research involved 296 children in a northwestern Mexican city, who were aged between 9 to 12. The team measured how connected the participants felt to nature by asking them to rate how much they enjoyed activities like seeing wild flowers and interacting with animals. They also assessed the children's attitude towards sustainability, by asking them questions about behaviors which the team deemed to be related: altruism, equality, frugality, and being eco-friendly. That included asking whether they would give away money and used clothing, and quizzing them on their views on equality, and saving water. https://www.newsweek.com/children-who-feel-connected-nature-likely-happier-study-suggests-1488738

The Best Part of the song "Iko Iko" is that it's Possible to Play it using TWO Chords! For Example "A" and "E" and You Can Make Up Lyrics If You forget Where You Are and What You Are Doing! I remember Playing this at Main Circle, Rainbow Gathering in Idaho.

and then Later, a young man and I Played Uncle John's Band at the Relaxation Station... That's The Very First Place a Camper would encounter on the way into the Rainbow Gathering... "Welcome Home!" We Played it about 6 times... because the Young Man said "I Don't Want to Learn anymore new songs" and since there was a Constant flow of People walking by... No One Knew That we were Playing the same song... except for the Tarot Card Reading Lady and other Pranksters That were Hanging OUT... One Guy had a Piece of FOAM that Looked Like a Concrete Block... He would ask a person to help him Carry the Block Because it was very heavy... and then ACCIDENTALLY DROP THE PIECE OF FOAM on the Visitor's FOOT... and then everyone would laugh because it was NOT Dangerous... It Was a Prank! The Realization That They Were Not Going To Be Hurt... and The relief... Caused Laughter...

What IS the Rainbow Gathering? To me, it is Woodstock with amateur musicians and I’m in the band… READ MORE:

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...
