and then Liz Merry Posted on FaceBorg:
I am reposting this from a friend's wall. A mutual friend of ours is in the hospital and may not make it. I also just learned my editor at the Red Bluff Daily News passed away suddenly. You just never know, folks. We have done NONE of this, but we need to in the event we go together.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO GET YOUR AFFAIRS IN ORDER!!
💰Make sure all bank accounts have direct beneficiaries. The beneficiary need only go to the bank with your death certificate and an ID of their own.
ðŸĄ TOD = Transfer On Death house deed if you own a home. Completing this document and filing it with your county saves your heirs THOUSANDS. This document allows you to transfer ownership of your home to your designee. All they need to do is take their ID and your death certificate to the county building and the deed is signed over. Doing this will avoid the home having to go through probate.
🚗 TOD = also Transfer on Death your auto title(s). You can do that too. All these things will help your heirs avoid the probate process!
ðŸ‘Ļ‍ðŸ‘Đ‍👧‍ðŸ‘Ķ Living Will: Allows one to put in writing EXACTLY what you want done in the event you cannot speak for yourself when it comes to healthcare decisions as well as other final decisions.
ðŸ‘ĐðŸ―‍⚖️ Durable Power of Attorney: Allows one to designate a person to make legal decisions if one is no longer competent to do so.
ðŸĨ Power of Attorney for Healthcare: This document allows one to designate someone to make healthcare decisions for their person.
🛍 Last Will and Testament: Designates to whom personal belongings will go too.
ðŸŠĶ Funeral Planning Declaration: allows one to say exactly one’s wishes as far as disposition of the body and the services.
If the above documents are done, you can AVOID probate. If all the above is not done, you have to open an estate account at the bank. All money that doesn’t have direct beneficiaries goes into this account. You have to have an attorney to open the estate account. The attorney also has to publicize your passing in the newspaper or post publication at the county courthouse, to allow anyone to make a claim on your property. - It’s a complete PAIN.
📚 ðŸ’ģ Make a list of all banks and account numbers, all investment institutions with account numbers, lists of credit cards, utility accounts, etc. Leave clear instructions as to how and when these things are paid.
📂 Make sure your heirs knows where life insurance policies are located.
📝 Make 100% sure SOMEONE knows your Apple ID, bank ID account logins and all passwords! A password keeper will streamline that - only one password needed to access all accounts.
🚗 Make sure you have titles for all vehicles, campers, etc in the SAME PLACE.
Set up a trust for intended beneficiaries that are too young, and appoint a trustee of said trust.
MOST IMPORTANTLY!!!! - Talk with those closest to you and make all your wishes KNOWN. Talk to those whom you’ve designated, as well as those close to you whom you did not designate. Do this to explain why your decisions were made and to avoid any lingering questions or hurt feelings.
⚡️Hope this helps! ⚡️I also hope this lights a spark to encourage all your friends and family to take care of these things to make it easier for those we all leave behind!
Do it! Start an important conversation with your loved ones.
(REPOST)

and I replied:
This is a useful post... I've done almost all of these but... I need to document all my passwords, usernames... ON a Piece of Paper... One really cool thing I've done is My Royalties from my Zazzle Store are Automatically Deposited into the Bank... So I'll be earning a Profit after I'm Dead... and My Heirs Will Get the Money!

MISSION SAN JOSE.
Mission San Jose was founded on June 11, 1797, by Father Fermin Francisco de Lasuen on a site which was part of a natural highway by way of the Livermore Valley to the San Joaquin Valley.
It is the fourteenth of the 21 Spanish Missions in Alta California. They were founded to secure Spain's claim to this land and to teach the native people Christianity and the Spanish way of life.
A fully developed mission was a self-sustaining village. It was occupied by local natives, a few soldiers, several artisans with families, and one or two priests. According to Spanish law, the mission's lands and resources belonged to the natives and would be put in their control when they had learned to manage themselves in the Spanish way. The Ohlones lived close to the land in harmony with nature, taking what they needed for their sustenance but never wasting irreplaceable resources. Their food included seeds, roots, berries, acorn meal, small game, and seafood.
Three years after the founding of Mission San Jose, several hundred Ohlones had come to live at the Mission. They were introduced to a new way of life by the Spanish Franciscan missionaries. Thousands of cattle roamed the mission ranges. Acres of wheat and other crops were planted and harvested under the direction of the Padres.
The original mission complex consisted of over 100 adobe buildings. Restoration efforts by the Native Sons and Daughters of the Golden West in 1915 and 1950 saved the surviving portion of the mission wing and converted it into a museum set in gracious surroundings of flowers and palm trees.
In 1956, the town of Mission San Jose incorporated with four others to become the City of Fremont. Plans to reconstruct the church of Mission San Jose were launched in 1973. The Victorian Rectory was relocated to nearby Anza Street and the Gothic wooden church was moved to San Mateo where it has been restored as a house of worship by an Anglican church group.
Though the pueblo (city) of San Jose was founded 13 miles south near the Guadalupe River, the only connection between the pueblo and the Old Mission is that both were named in honor of St. Joseph.

and on Tribel RD Said:
I'm So proud to be on the side of an American hero like Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman and not on the side of a creepy disgusting racist criminal like Stephen Miller who is an architect of the MAGA crimes against humanity plot that ripped brown children out of the arms of their parents.

It’s amazing to see people telling the fascist Republican cult to go fuck themselves, but it should also be a crime to purposely make people stand in line for over 2 hours to vote as a ploy to suppress voters.

It seems to me that driving can be a meditation awareness tool. Today I was really focused on the sound of the engine, alignment of the wheels and gear changing. Before I left I checked the oil and added a quart. So I was listening for the valve chirping I heard last week. I also put air in all 4 tires so I was paying attention to the steering and if the van tended to drive to the right... or the left...
AND I was staying on the road, avoiding head on collisions with the logging trucks and watching for unexpected slowdowns. Three times there were One Lane Roads with a flagman and a lead car... Not only do I have to stop in time but all those people behind me had to also.

So, I believe that driving can be used as an Idea Factory.

I'm not alone in this belief. Robert Pirsig wrote
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zen_and_the_Art_of_Motorcycle_Maintenance about this.

and Bob Seger sang "your mind goes wandering when you're riding sixteen hours and there's nothing else to do" in the song "Turn the Page"...

a Post of Mine Was Deleted from This Blog
because I Dared to Ask the FORBIDDEN QUESTION:
"Why do we allow fresh water from the 
Sacramento River to flow into the Ocean?"

after all... 
We Pump the Colorado River Dry before it Gets to the Ocean in Mexico... and No One Complains About THAT!

all the water from the Colorado River is used to Drink, Water Crops, Fill Swimming Pools, Shower, Water Animals and Make Ice Cubes for a Scotch on the Rocks Beverage... 

SO... Someone Reported My Question to Google
and That Post was Deleted... 
WE MUST ALLOW NO QUESTIONS!

I say leave Nature ALONE but cut down on human reproduction to reach for a better, more equitable, balance. Humans have already altered, disrupted and destroyed far too much on the planet!  So much in fact, we’re causing thousands of species of animals, plants and insects to go extinct by the day! Enough is enough!  This Central Valley used to be home to deer, antelope, bear, and thousands of other species of both animals and plants.  Now they are crowed out by humans for growing endless mono-crops for human a cattle feed and housing.  Its selfish, greedy and insane. And not just here, the whole Earth is  being similarly destroy for human USE and its  the only home we have in the Universe!  All  because of not having the foresight to control our own  f’g numbers!

Of course, power hungry world and church leaders with politicians leading the way, like more and  more people to fill their coffers!!
back to the story now in progress: California Rice Farmers Pump Water from The Thermalito Afterbay Downstream from the Oroville Dam to Water Their Crops. This Year the Oroville Dam is at Historic Record Low Water Levels. So Low that the Hydro Electric Power Generating Station was TURNED OFF...

Thermalito Afterbay Downstream from Oroville CA


What IF? Would Pumping all that water out of the River and Into Fields that are Growing Crops Change the Climate of California's Central Valley? In the Summer, all that water would evaporate and then fall as rain when those clouds meet the Sierra Nevada Mountains... In General, the Wind Flows from West to East... WE NEED RAIN...

The Objection to Pumping the Sacramento River Dry is That Salmon Need the Water to Survive... and They Would Go Extinct... In That One River... Other Rivers, Like The Klamath and The Columbia and Rivers in Canada and Alaska would NOT Be Changed... and The Salmon Would Continue to Survive There...

and... What IF Salmon Became Extinct? The Drought is The Western USA Is Putting Salmon in the Klamath River in Danger Right Now... Even With The Dams being Removed...
It's Entirely Possible That Salmon are Not Important...
