Decaf Coffee Sucks. The Process for Removing the Caffeine leaves Strange Chemicals Behind. I Can Taste Them. I Drink Green Tea and Real Coffee.

Plus, What's the POINT of Drinking Decaf? Without the Drug it's Just a Bad Tasting Brew... 

anyway... I like taking the Pills that have Aspirin, Acetaminophen and 60 mg Caffeine. It's the same as Drinking One Cup of Standard Coffee plus Pain Relievers... Yep... Legal and Powerful...

What if we installed electric power generators on every exercise bicycle nationwide... We could replace coal burning power plants and help reverse global warming/climate change. These bicycles let a person spin an automobile alternator using pedal power. Built by CCAT at Humboldt State University

What if EVERY health club had these? What if Rowing Machines, Treadmills, Weight Lifting Universal Gyms and Stair Steppers had Generators? Imagine Pumping Iron and When the Weights Move Down they Spin an Alternator... We Have the Technology... 

There are Thousands of Health Clubs That COULD BE Generating Electricity but DO NOT... I Emailed PELOTON Exercise Bicycle Company but they Ignored Me,,,

From blockages to weekly protests, environmental campaigners in Germany are angry at the continued extraction of coal. Euronews' Hans von der Brelie heads to one of the world’s largest opencast pits, Garzweiler II, to witness for himself the battle to close the country's lignite mines.

I arrive at sunrise, overwhelmed by the beauty of the industrial landscape, which stretches as far as the eye can see. An abstract pattern of earth and lignite layers bathed in the early morning light.

But it’s a deadly beauty: if all those hundreds of millions of tonnes of coal actually do get excavated and burnt, Germany can say goodbye to its climate targets. In recent years the country has started waking up to what climate catastrophe might actually look like: blisteringly hot summers and apocalyptic rainfall that has the ability to sweep both towns and lives away.

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

Ahead of the international climate change conference COP26 in Glasgow, German climate activists have been pressuring Berlin to exit coal earlier than scheduled.

At the Garzweiler opencast lignite pit, they took things a step further, blocking the movement of giant bucketwheel excavators.

Also at a nearby forest, they built tree houses to try to stop the expansion of the pit.

Germany portrays itself as a climate leader. But it’s still razing villages for coal mines... https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2021/10/23/germany-coal-climate-cop26/
LÃœTZERATH, Germany — The yawning black-brown scar in the earth that is Germany’s Garzweiler coal mine has already swallowed more than a dozen villages.Centuries-old churches and family homes have been razed and the land they were built on torn away. Farmland has disappeared, graveyards have been emptied.

“All destroyed for coal,” said Eckhardt Heukamp, surveying the vast pit that drops away from the edge of his fields, 20 miles west of Cologne.

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~
LUETZERATH, Germany (AP) — Hundreds of anti-coal activists staged protesters in and around a mine in western Germany on Saturday, demonstrating against the continued extraction and use of fossil fuels in Europe’s biggest economy.

Environmental groups oppose the German government’s decision to allow the mining and burning of coal in the country until 2038, a deadline the activists say is too late to effectively tackle climate change.

Activists, dressed in colored overalls and braving wind and rain, were also protesting the planned destruction of several villages to make way for the expansion of the Garzweiler strip mine, west of Cologne.

MADE IN AMERICA GOODS Are Not Floating in a Boat Off the Coast of California. REFUSE to Buy Chinese Junk!

I have an Online Store Called Zazzle/Gregvan That Sells Merchandise Made in Fremont, California and Reno, Nevada...  My Original Artwork is Printed on T-ShirtsButtonsStickers etc etc etc - I Also Sell a LOT of Political Slogans... Embroidered on Hats or Printed on Bumper Stickers! All My Royalties Donated to Charity!

If you want a Custom Design Printed on a Product... EMAIL ME... and If It Doesn't Violate Copyright, I'll Do It! gregvan(at)yahoo(dot)com...


Here is an Art Show of My Original Designs...
Including Peace Signs!

and even More Peace Signs!

SAVE MONEY by NOT BUYING CHINESE JUNK! Thrift Store Treasures are "What's Happenin'" Now!

I See in the News That There is Trouble Unloading Cargo Ships from Overseas... Well, SO Freaking WHAT? 

I Already Have Everything I Want... The Secret Trick is NOT Wanting Much! That Way It's Easy to Get Everything I Want.

http://www.eurekarescuemission.org/Thrift_Store/Thrift_Shop.html Link to The Eureka Rescue Mission Thrift Shop on Highway 101 in Eureka, CA... I Bet with a Little Research You Could find a Similar Store in Your Town! Goodwill, Saint Vincent de Paul, Volunteers of America... 


Remember! Buying Used is 
Ecologically Friendly! 

Refuse to buy Chinese Junk - meme

I won't be Buying any of This...

When You Buy a New Product, the Corporation Has to Replace It. Their Computers Automatically Order another Product to Keep the Shelves Stocked... 

They Mine Raw Materials, grow plants (like cotton) using pesticides and herbicides, Log Forests, Employ Slave Laborers in the Orient, Burn Gasoline Shipping the Plastic Crap Here From China... and on and on and on... Used Products ALREADY EXIST and so Buying Stuff at The Eureka Rescue Mission Thrift Shop (my local store) does NOT Harm the Planet. Actually, They Hire Local People to Work as Clerks and Do Delivery. We Bought ALL our Living Room Furniture there. Three Chairs and a Sofa... and Men Delivered It Upstairs in Our Home. NO WAY could I Move those Heavy Objects Up That Staircase... I Tipped those Guys $10 Each... and they were really Thankful. Yes, I Could Have Spent a Fortune at Sears or KMART but... I Prefer to Keep The Money IN MY WALLET. I Like Employing Guys That Live At The Rescue Mission. The Mission Does Good Work Here in Eureka and I've Met a LOT of Real People That They Help. I did buy new Beds at Sears. Somehow, those were just too Personal to Buy Used... also, I Do Not Buy Used Underwear... BUT, Clothes? YES! It's actually fun to find thrift stores in Super Rich Neighborhoods and Live Like the TV Show "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous..." A Great Place to Shop is North Shore Lake Tahoe... Snow Bunnies often Donate Extra Stuff When the Season is Over... and There is Also DUMPSTER DIVING in College Towns at the End of the School Year... FREE STUFF! 

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

On the Other Hand... You Can Buy Stuff that's Already Made in the USA... For Example: Zazzle/Gregvan offers Gifts that are Made in Reno, Nevada... and The Corporation Headquarters is Located in Fremont, CA...

Climate Change in Central America is Making Farmers WALK NORTH. No Rain Causes Starvation. Former Secretary of State Pompeo Recommends Everyone Move North to "Solve" Global Warming Problems... Of Course, That Plan Fails When We RUN OUT OF NORTH to Move To...


He recommends Americans go to Canada and Alaska to avoid disasters Like Hurricanes in New Orleans and Wild fires in California. GOOD PLAN, for about TEN Years... and then we simply run out of NORTH when we are all living on the poles... Can't go any further than the North Pole and when that becomes Uninhabitable... Extinction... Hey, maybe he's looking at his own lifespan and making a plan for ten years is excellent when you are OLDER THAN DIRT... We need to get all the Old White Men out of Running the Government and Industry. We have a limited Knowledge Base and CANNOT THINK UP A SOLUTION to problems that we caused... I Know... I am an old white man and... Thinking up NEW ideas simply does not happen to Elderly People... Look at Rock Musicians like Pete Townsend... He hasn't written a song in 30 years... I haven't written a song in sixteen years... I had a really creative period in the 1980s and the early 2000s but the well has gone dry... WE NEED YOUNG PEOPLE TO THINK UP NEW PLANS for solving these problems...  I remember that when I was a kid we drove all over the place just to hear another Grateful Dead Concert... All that driving around CAUSED air pollution that caused Climate Change. NO, It's not the oil companies that are to blame... it's the people buying gas... It's people driving driving driving on vacation and every day to work. What IF we moved the OFFICE Closer to home? Then commuting to work would be shorter. What IF we just filled all those empty shopping malls with light industrial factories?  


What about a Cultural Shift? Car races would be NO LONGER FUN if everyone knew that extinction was caused by driving. Who would want to go to the Daytona 500 or Indianapolis if Cars Were Not Socially HIP? I remember that on Friday and Saturday nights they had car races at the Fairgrounds in the Summer. I could hear them and they sounded like angry bees. Definitely a Bad Sound. AND YET, people were buying tickets to go to the races... ABSURD! The sound is the sound of death. Chainsaws also sound like death. Leaf Blowers sound like death. Motorcycles Sound Like Death. and they all smell like death... Just attach a hose to your car's tailpipe and force the exhaust in thru a window that's rolled down two inches... turn on the engine and sit inside with all the other windows rolled up. That's a standard way to commit suicide. In a larger view... We are All in a closed system... the atmosphere of planet earth is just like the inside of a car with the windows rolled up. We are pumping pollution into the air... Carbon Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide... totally fatal if breathed in sufficient quantities... Burning Coal to make electricity releases Fatal Exhaust also. WE NEED TO USE LESS ELECTRICITY until the time when it is all generated by Solar, Wind, Hydro and BIOMASS. Biomass uses waste wood, sawdust to generate electricity... It is important to get rid of that waste somehow... and Biomass power plants are better than putting it in the City Dump. Use less electricity by simply turning the light switch off when leaving the room... Just like your mother taught you... What if we had Motion sensor lights everywhere? Lights come on when people are in the room ONLY. What if we removed HALF of the streetlights? What IF we unplugged all those transformers that power our modems and computers and televisions and phones? Transformers GET WARM even when the machine they are powering is turned off. WARM? WHY? There is A Coil of wire sucking up alternating current all day every day... it's used to convert 110 volts AC to 12 volts DC... But you pay for it on your electric bill even when you are not using it! Computer GEEKS call the Wall Warts. Plug them all into a power strip with a switch and when you are done, flick the damn switch... You Planet Will Thank You...


What IF Amazon, Microsoft or Warren Buffet pays a Billion Dollars to invent a Better Air Conditioner? Everyone wants to be cool in the Summer and Every Air Conditioner Uses a LOT of Power... I read that the Univesity of Singapore is doing groundbreaking research... WHAT IF we behaved Smart? Invest in something Useful? Stop inventing new Drone Bombers... There is no need to find a faster way to kill people. Lockheed, Raytheon and General Atomics are Merchants of Death. NOW, a Raytheon Employee is Acting Secretary of Defense... Wow, Obvious Corruption or WHAT! 


I see TV advertisements for Brand New Giant Trucks and Insurance and... I just laugh... I don't own a car... I'm not going to buy one anytime soon... It makes no difference at all how wonderful the tailgate on a truck is... I don't care, I don't Care, I don't CARE, I JUST DON"T CARE! Limu-EMU? Nope... Not My Bird... 


Trumpnik Steven Miller questions if the Words
on the Statue of Liberty are Valid Anymore.
Maybe they made sense when Irish Peasants
were coming to America but... Now those people
have Brown Skins and Doesn't that change everything? Yes, we welcome immigrants from
White Countries like Slovenia but... People that
don't speak English? NO! Walk South... That's
what CZAR Donald the First Recommends.
CRAZY. What we should be doing is welcoming immigrants and helping them integrate into
American Society. Help the find Jobs and places
to live and teach their Children how to speak
English... The SECOND Generation does very
well in the USA. Witness the Success of the
HMONG and Vietnamese. The Success of the Germans and the Poles. The Italians and the
Puerto Ricans...

I read a Facebook Post From...
Luke Scarmazzo - CURRENTLY INCARCERATED
July 26 at 7:44 AM  · 
Due to the pandemic and the BOP's protocols, we only get 3-hours out of our cell a day. Friday  my time out is from 630am-930am. Saturday morning at 6! One of the least desirable slots (we are also allowed to go outside once a week on Sundays for 45 minutes). This is the most restrictive form of incarceration I've ever experienced. I'm not complaining, I know its based on good intentions, but its difficult to take care of an entire days tasks in 3 hours. Plus on days like today, when there are no obnoxiously long phone lines for once, I cant call home because its 5am on the West Coast. On the street most people get to decide for themselves what precautions they want to take to combat the spread of the virus. Here in prison, we have no choice. We are cattle. It is dictated to us and we must follow the directives or face severe consequences. We cant social distance nor do we get regular access to cleaning supplies and other hygienic items. Some of these BOP protocols are arbitrary and flat out cruel. So I ask: why are we still imprisoning nonviolent drug offenders in these human warehouses that are becoming virus factories? Some facilities have 70% of their population who are covid positive! The rule of law says that us inmates who are housed in these facilities must pay a penalty for breaking the law, but that penalty did not include dying from a preventable virus or facing cruel and unusual and often harsh restrictions. The prison system has an obligation to keep the people who are in its custody safe and healthy. If they're not fulfilling their end of the contract, then prisoners need to be released to home confinement where they can fend for themselves. When applied to us American prisoners Patrick Henry's words hold an ominous truth, "Give me liberty or give me death."

All Over The World People Are Waking Up. We Have Realized That The Old Ways JUST DON'T WORK. The Era of Old White Men Ruling the World Has Passed.

I Personally AM an Old White Man BUT... I Retired... I No Longer Rule My Little Corner of The World... IT IS REALLY FREEING to No Longer Have to Make Decisions... Now Someone ELSE is In Charge as I Live in an Old Folks Home and the Employees Make Sure I Eat, Shower, Get Prescriptions Filled, Do the Laundry, Take out The Garbage, Mow the Lawn, Invest My Money and Pay My Taxes... They Just Take Care of All Tasks... Giving Me The Freedom to Write, Draw and Sing all day every day...  gvan42

When We Come Back From Trump's Coronavirus... Let's Rebuild The World Using Honesty and Fair Play As Guides... Morality and Sanity... Why Not?

The Entire Concept of Just Making The Rich Richer Makes No Sense... As We All Have Noticed... Corrupt Billionaires Bribe Politicians to Pass Laws That Suck Money From The 99% and Give It To The Super Rich... and They Can't Even Find Things To Spend Their Riches ON... Once You Own Five Private Jet Airplanes... What is the MOTIVATION To Get a Sixth?

For Example: We Spent Vast Sums of Taxpayer Dollars Buying Useless Stuff From The Military Industrial Complex To Fight Bogus Wars... Is There Any MISSION To The Endless War in Afghanistan?  Any GOAL AT ALL? 

No One Needs Apache Helicopters and Yet... Boeing Gets Lucrative Contracts to Build Them... Not Only is It A Waste of Money But People Spend Their Entire Careers Designing Better Ways To Kill... What IF Those Engineers Used their Talents To DO GOOD Instead of DOING EVIL?

The Boeing AH-64 Apache (A Waste Of Money) is an American twin-turboshaft attack helicopter with a tailwheel-type landing gear arrangement and a tandem cockpit for a crew of two. It features a nose-mounted sensor suite for target acquisition and night vision systems. It is armed with a 30 mm (1.18 in) M230 chain gun carried between the main landing gear, under the aircraft's forward fuselage, and four hardpoints mounted on stub-wing pylons for carrying armament and stores, typically a mixture of AGM-114 Hellfire missiles and Hydra 70 rocket pods. The AH-64 has significant systems redundancy to improve combat survivability.

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.
