Beta-testing for Elon Musk‘s Starlink internet is slated to arrive this summer and users can now sign up with their email address and zip code on its official website. The SpaceX program aims to allow access to the Internet from virtually anywhere on earth and poor regions with no internet, slow connectivity or generally have expensive services can benefit from the commercial program.

As of now, the startup launched 500 satellites into earth’s orbit this year, with the goal of providing Internet access to most of the world by 2021. In a Tweet, Musk said that Seattle and Germany would be the first to regions to get to trials with an official commercial launch in North America already in the works for late this year.

FOR CYBER MONDAY: Refuse to Consume - Boycott Everything or PAY CASH Under the Table - Do Not Participate in tRUMP's So Called "Booming" Economy... I keep on seeing TV Advertisements That Express The Concept That BUYING PLASTIC CRAP CAUSES ECSTATIC DANCING... That's False!

Think About This for a Moment... 
Don't You Have Everything You Want Already?

MEME - gvan42 - pay cash - refuse to be part of tRUMP's so called Booming Economy

STOP BUYING STUFF. With Trump Campaigning on his So Called "Booming" Economy, We Can Refuse to Participate... Why Not buy Food for Cash at your Local Farmers Market?

That Sale is Never Counted in Economic Statistics because the Local Farmers just put it Directly into their Pocket and Never Report It as Income on their Income Taxes... Buy your WEED from your friendly neighborhood dope dealer... They CERTAINLY don't report sales to the Government... as for other things... Do You Really Need to Buy Stuff at All? Don't you Already Have Everything? If you are reading this, You already Own a Computer or a Phone That Works... and There Is No Reason to Buy a New Computer or New Phone BECAUSE WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE IS GREAT!

Even FOX News Reports when The Stock Market Goes Down... and The DJIA has been Going Down a LOT Recently... Trump Makes EXCUSES... He Blames The Media and Aliens but...

Currently, Farmers can't sell to China and they are Going Bankrupt in Record Numbers. Truckers are Being Laid Off - 2,500 this year alone... Prices are Higher, Wages are Lower, Layoffs and Bankruptcies Every Day... All Accurate News Reports Says We Are Experiencing a Trump-0-Nomics Disaster... DO YOUR PART! REFUSE TO CONSUME...

50th anniversary of the Summer of Love... The Diggers, Haight Ashbury, LSD and the Grateful Dead. It certainly has been a Long Strange Trip. Congratulations to all those of us who have survived... One thing is for certain, The culture of the United States was radically different before the 60's...

LSD Psychedelic Art by Greg Vanderlaan vandergreg gvan42 purple64ets gregvan

The conformism of the 50's was blown away when LSD became widely available. Owsley made the chemical and made it available at Acid Tests with Ken Kesey and the Grateful Dead. He also gave it to the Beatles for their Magical Mystery Tour. The spirit lives on in a yearly camping trip called The Rainbow Gathering. It's like Woodstock but the performers are not paid and I'm in the Band.

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

The Diggers of San Francisco were a street theater company famous for their slogan "Today is the first day of the rest of your Life." They provided free food in Golden Gate park to needy Hippies during the Summer of Love. They also created a "Free Store" where all the merchandise was free. I suppose that they were skilled in getting donations. They also walked around Haight Street with a giant picture frame that passers by could step through in order to change their "Frame of Reference." The Diggers were part of the SF mime troupe, Bill Graham worked for them also as a benefit dance promoter/arranger to raise funds  by having local bands play and selling tickets. He later became the most successful rock music show promoter in the USA.

BOYCOTT CHEAP CHINESE JUNK. Consume Wisely. Buy Used Clothes at the Thrift Store. Keep the Phone You ALREADY HAVE and LOVE it. Repair stuff that breaks down.

I use a HP Computer that is 15 years old and I had a local guy replace the RAM when it failed. Buy Food at the LOCAL Farmer's Market. I was surprised to learn that COTTON Clothes are often made in the Orient. Can't we grow COTTON in the American South? Employ Americans to Grow Cotton and weave it into fabric... What an IDEA!

We bought clothes, furniture, silverware, plates, pots, pans and a Piano at OUR Thrift Store. It's called the Saint Vincent DePaul Store in Oldtown Eureka.  We also shop at the EUREKA RESCUE MISSION STORE AND THEY DELIVER BIG HEAVY OBJECTS FOR FREE. They employ Homeless Veterans and Ex-Convicts... It's difficult to get a Job after being released from Prison or the Army but They are a Place that believes in Forgiveness and New Beginnings. Do yourself a favor, get better quality for less money by buying used. Help Employ LOCAL PEOPLE...

I have bought Four used cars... The first was an old Chevy Luv Mikado [Isuzu Pup]... I got that at THE WELL in Chico, CA. It's a halfway house for Ex Convicts that Live in a Grand Old Motel and Work Repairing and Cleaning Cars. I didn't have enough money to pay the $1,000 price so I paid some and shook the man's hand... I promised to pay the rest. He called my boss at the Factory and verified that I was employed and so... we did the deal... Quite a different experience in comparison to Getting a Loan from Chrysler Credit at a High Interest Rate... and paying it off for Five Years... After Four and a Half Years I had a Worn Out Car and the payments still needed to be paid...

The other three were sold at Eureka Auto Wholesalers. A Dodge Die Nasty, a Ford Windstar and a Chrysler Town and Country. They buy used FLEET vehicles at auction and sell them retail to people in Eureka. Their Business Pan is to Make a small profit on every car but SELL A LOT OF CARS. Deep Discount for Cash. All those vehicles had about Five More Years of life in them. Fleet Vehicles owned by The County Government get serviced at Jiffy Lube on time every time. I went into Jiffy Lube to get an oil change and they showed me the Service Record for that VIN... My Ford Windstar liven it Sacramento for Ten Years... One time I went into the Ford Dealer in Chico to get an Idiot Light fixed and he said I owned the Oldest Windstar he had ever seen... 

and then a guy on GAB said... This "getting woke" shit is saving me tons of money. How? you ask. Well, I stopped drinking soda, alcohol (only on rare occasions), No fast freaking food, use clippers not razors, started buying food from local markets, completely cut junk food, No Netfilx and no professional sports. Besides saving money, I'm now healthier, happier, sleep less, wake up super early, learn new skills everyday, less pain relief needed. The way I see it, Liberals did me a huge favor with their wokeness.

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.
