https://www.44feetproject.com/ Thirty-seven tons of commercial nuclear waste are stored on the inland coast of Humboldt Bay, California, in an underground storage vault called the Humboldt Bay Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (HB ISFSI). Its location is vulnerable to three adjacent earthquake faults, encroaching sea level, potential tsunamis, and general erosion. Within 44 years, by 2065, Humboldt Bay is projected to experience 3.3 feet (1 meter) of sea-level rise, which will flood the low areas around the ISFSI during king tides, turning it into an island that will be increasingly vulnerable to wave erosion, sea level rise, and saltwater intrusion. Under these projected future conditions, the site will be difficult to access for waste management, in an emergency, and for relocation.

Keeping uranium mining out of the Grand Canyon:

You’d think the Grand Canyon — the homeland of at least 11 Native American tribes and the crown jewel of our national park system — would be protected from uranium contamination. Think again.

Uranium mines and mining claims outside park boundaries threaten to pollute the most remarkable gorge in the world. We're working alongside many partners in support of regional tribes to permanently protect lands and waters surrounding Grand Canyon National Park from mining.


The Havasupai live deep within the canyon and rely on a spring-fed creek that runs through their village to drink, cook, and irrigate fields of corn and alfalfa, as well as other ceremonial and cultural uses. Worried that Canyon Mine could contaminate the water that flows underground and feeds the seeps and springs in their village, they have opposed uranium mining around the Grand Canyon since the 1980s.

Grand Canyon Uranium Mine Flood... OOPS!

Remember: The Vast Majority of Jobs Nuclear Power Creates are For Newspaper Writers That Say: "It's Great!" It's a Classic Example of Unemployed People That Can't Get a Job Designing or Building Nuclear Power Plants... So In a Frantic Search They Become Cheerleaders! Making Youtube Videos, Magazine Articles and Blogs... all about How Wonderful Nukes Are Going to BE! No Carbon Air Pollution!

IN REALITY: Vogtle, Georgia is the Only New Power Plant in the USA in the Last 30 Years and It's $16 Billion Dollars Over Budget and 6 Years Behind Schedule. AWAKEN! Fission is a Failure!

However, they Usually Fail to Mention the Solid Radioactive Waste that NO ONE Has Figured Out What To Do With... Except Store it for 10,000 Years... and GUARD IT to Prevent Terrorist from Creating a Dirty Bomb... A Madman Could Simply Place a Normal Bomb under a Cask... and Kablooeeeee! Fallout For Hundreds of Miles Downwind... 

In Fact, there are Many Jobs Decomissioning Closed Nuclear Power Plants. A Group of Skilled Workers Take Apart The Abandoned Power Plant and Store the Dangerous Parts Safely. I Personally Watched People Dismantle The PG&E Humboldt Bay Power Plant for Years... and Drive North with Truckloads of Radioactive Material... Finally They are Done and they Left Behind SIX Casks of Atomic Waste... and the Employees all travel on to the NEXT Abandoned Nuclear Power Plant... In This Case, San Onofre... in Southern California... While Security Guards Watch the Atomic Waste for 10,000 Years... That's Steady Employment!

meme - Nuclear Power is Wonderful - except for the Radioactive Waste

and Every Year there are Fewer and Fewer Nuclear Power Plants because the Executives that Actually Make Decisions at Power Companies CHOOSE SOLAR, WIND And HYDRO. PG&E Plans to Shut Down Diablo Canyon in California... It's a Doomed Industry. EXCEPT IN CHINA! They Keep On Building Nuclear Power Plants... WHY? 

Here in the USA, Cost Overruns at Vogtle, Georgia Caused Westinghouse to Go Bankrupt... That was a Famous Old American Company... So Sad to See Them Fail...  https://www.reuters.com/article/us-toshiba-accounting-westinghouse-nucle/how-two-cutting-edge-u-s-nuclear-projects-bankrupted-westinghouse-idUSKBN17Y0CQ

South Carolina Electric and Gas was also in the process of constructing two Westinghouse AP1000 plants, which had been scheduled to go into service in 2020, but construction on these was abandoned in 2017... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgil_C._Summer_Nuclear_Generating_Station

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

and In Vogtle News:

Consumers may end up paying for billions of dollars in cost overruns on the Plant Vogtle nuclear expansion. https://www.ajc.com/news/business/nuclear-cost-overrun-could-mean-billions-in-extra-georgia-power-profit/YIA3T3YHZRHI5A7GCZHREIXCPE/

The project is years behind its original schedule and billions of dollars above its original budget. The two Westinghouse AP1000 reactors were expected to enter service as early as 2016, at a cost of about $14 billion, after construction was approved in 2012. 

https://www.powermag.com/vogtle-nuclear-expansion-price-tag-tops-30-billion/

That amount doesn’t count the $3.68 billion that original contractor Westinghouse paid to the owners after going bankrupt, which would bring total spending to more than $34 billion.

Vogtle is the only nuclear plant under construction in the United States, and its costs could deter other utilities from building such plants, even though they generate electricity without releasing climate-changing carbon emissions.

The Latest LIE they all share is: "Life was better When Trump was President." Ignoring the Fact That Over a Million Americans Died from Coronavirus (not a Democratic Hoax) AND there were massive lines at the FREE FOOD Giveaway places because with all the Unemployment many people could not buy Food!

but they re-post that everything was better...


John Lennon Quote: “I’d rather let my spirit fly free, than be caged by religion. Become a Buddha not a Buddhist; become a Christ not a Christian."

"One implies an awakened state of consciousness, the other a dogmatic approach to life.”God” is too big for one religion. Love & quantum physics are my religion. At one level, all religious traditions have the same aim—to transform the individual into a positive being. I love Jesus, I love Shiva, I love Krishna, I love Buddha. All rivers lead to the same ocean. “I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us.” ॐ John Lennon

"Perhaps the most profound question we can ask about intelligent beings is: Are they kind? Are they wise? Are they compassionate? And if they are, how might they view us? Would they see us as fellow travelers, as beings worthy of respect and cooperation? Or would they see us as a primitive species, still grappling with our own destructive tendencies? The answer to these questions may reveal more about us than it does about them."

Stanley Mouse - with the Skull and Roses Poster

Stanley George Miller born October 10, 1940

Stanley Mouse was born in California on October 10, 1940. His father was an animator with Disney Studios who worked on Snow White. Stanley grew up in Detroit where Motown music and the city’s obsession with motor cars combined with his genius at drawing and made Stanleys life path clear at an early age. Quiet and always drawing in class, Stanley earned his pen name, Mouse in the seventh grade. He’d become known for his sketches of monster-driven muscle cars and as soon as he began signing with his pen name, he became instantly famous at thirteen.

Stanley found a niche in the Detroit hot rod culture by detailing extraordinary paint jobs on vehicles until no quality hot rod in town could be seen without a Mouse pin-striping job. Soon after, he began applying his favorite subjects to T-shirts with an airbrush. In the tenth grade, Stanley did some graffiti on the high school hang out and was expelled from high school, the silver lining being that he then enrolled in art school.

Stanley received his formal training at Detroit’s School for the Society of Arts and Crafts which was connected to the Detroit art museum. He dropped out to follow a higher calling to do rock posters in San Francisco during the sixties wartime era of social revolution, political passion and musical innovation. History was made when Stanley met Alton Kelley – they collaborated for over 15 years and changed the course of advertising art forever. Two of their most famous images, one featuring ZigZag cigarette rolling papers and another, the Grateful Dead skeleton and roses motif, became symbols of a generation. Kelley and Mouse were innovators of the most important art movement of the latter part of the twentieth century. They captured the passion and excitement of the times with their distinctive styles. In 1970 Stanley returned to Detroit and was given a one man show at the Detroit Institute of Art.

In the late sixties Stanley moved from San Francisco to London to flame Eric Claptons Rolls Royce. From there he did art for Blind Faith and the Beatles and returned to America to work on the signage at Woodstock with Kelley. Kelley and Mouse were working on a Jimi Hendrix cover but Jimi died before it was released. That art morphed into several covers for Journey, including Infinity, Escape and Captured.

Stanley designed with Art Nouveau elegance and American pop-art sensibilities. He produced posters for the Fillmore Auditorium and the Avalon Ballroom. The art promoting the San Francisco scene became instant collectibles and went far beyond the local scene to reach museums worldwide. Art and music came together in images associated with the The Family Dog, Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin, Big Brother and the Holding Company, Steve Miller. Then on to Jimi Hendrix, Journey, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles and Blind Faith. In all, Mouse and Kelley did the first eight album covers for the Grateful Dead, including the delightful Ice Cream Kid/Rainbow Foot cover of their Europe 72 live album. The cover art for Steve Millers album Book of Dreams won a Grammy Award in 1977.
Stanley’s artwork is included in private and public collections including the Oakland Museum and The Hermitage. Bonham’s of London conducted an auction where Stanley’s artwork was incredibly well received in 1998. In a local ceremony, Stanley was honored and named as the Sonoma Art Treasure in 1994.
Stanley went on to explore fine art and took up classical art forms and oil painting. His landscapes and figurative works express the more subtle and finer aspects of life and round out his body of work with depth and beauty.
Today some old friends have returned to Mouse’s palette: rock and roll and hot rod art and monsters. A significant revival of interest in hot rods and a new subculture is springing up around the aesthetic of the hot rod genre. Stanley Mouse is a revered elder in that tribe, lately contributing to the movement with new and classic monsters and rat-rod art.
A recent show at the Marin Museum of Art featuring Stanley’s work in full-circle format made clear the scope and genius of his art. The hot rods, monsters, rock icons and lush oil paintings stand united by way of the artists creative journey and tell tales of American culture through the decades. The visual repertoire of our collective experience has been made rich and beautiful through Stanley’s art.

13. I run like the winded.
14. I hate when a couple argues in public, and I missed the beginning and don't know whose side I'm on.

16. When you do squats, are your knees supposed to sound like a goat chewing on an aluminum can stuffed with celery?
17. I don't mean to interrupt people. I just randomly remember things and get really excited.
18. When I ask for directions, please don't use words like "east."
19. Don't bother walking a mile in my shoes. That would be boring. Spend 30 seconds in my head. That'll freak you right out.
20. Sometimes, someone unexpected comes into your life out of nowhere, makes your heart race, and changes you forever. We call those people cops.
21. My luck is like a bald guy who just won a comb.

Beach Boys in Concert 1964 - Foothill Junior College

FOOTHILL COLLEGE, LOS ALTOS HILLS with the Tikis. Friday October 23, 1964. The Beach Boys.
This gig was discovered by Andrew Doe after the publication of my book. The Foothill Sentinel reported, "More than 2,000 squealing teenage girls had campus police and sheriff's deputies hopping last Friday night as the Young Republicans sponsored a concert by the Beach Boys, a name surf-style music group."
A show scheduled for Chico State College on October 24 was canceled. The show was sponsored by Campus Republicans but the sponsors failed to obtain permission to use the auditorium. The BBs may also have played shows at Contra Costa College and at UC Berkeley as part of this “four-date tour” but as of yet I have found no confirmation.

Coin operated Heater for the Home: 
One of the interesting things about those meters they typically worked with nickels. So for those clever folks who wanted to steal gas they made them selves little trays the shape of nickels filled them with water and froze them. They then used the frozen nickel shaped fake coins to get the meters to work. The old timers would know the customers were stealing gas because instead of finding coins in the meter they found "WATER".

and then I read on FaceBorg...
Trump has too much control of the republicans and it’s dangerous
Strategic, surgical efforts by former President Trump’s campaign to overhaul obscure Republican Party rules in states around the nation, including California, have created an opportunity for the GOP front-runner to quickly sew up his party's presidential nomination.
The former president's aides have sculpted rules in dozens of states , starting even before his 2020 reelection bid. Their work is ongoing: In addition to California, state Republican parties in Nevada and Michigan have recently overhauled their rules in ways clearly designed to favor Trump.
The Trump campaign succeeded in changing the rules "in part because they knew what they were doing and in part because everyone else is asleep at the switch," Ginsberg added.
The changes could discourage campaigning and decrease voter participation , said Dan Lee, a political science professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
We cannot allow this deranged man in the White House again or we will have a dictatorship and no more democracy

and then I read on FaceBorg: SE Said...

I see a lot of posts where people think it's absolutely hilarious that people "used to" print out directions on Mapquest rather than just using GPS to direct them everywhere. I find this to be slightly offensive, because some of us prefer using maps. I don't like relying on GPS to direct me everywhere. I prefer having a paper map to refer to. I particularly hate the sound of the computerized GPS voice, especially if I'm riding with someone else and we're trying to have a conversation. A paper map won't interrupt your conversation, but an obnoxious computer voice can totally derail your train of thought. Also, for me, it really helps to see an actual map of where I'm going because it gives me the layout of the area, and I'm able to figure out how to get around a lot easier than if I just blindly follow a computer voice's turn-by-turn directions. I actually prefer REAL maps. I have a collection of AAA maps which I love to look at, and I still have several old Thomas Guides.
For example: how could anyone possibly learn the layout of the San Francisco Bay Area by relying on GPS? Without looking at an actual map of the bay, you'd have no way of knowing if you're in the South Bay, the East Bay, or the Peninsula. The GPS will just tell you where to turn, and then you'll be going alongside the bay somewhere, but how would you even know which side of the bay you are on? Using a regular map makes it clear which side of the bay you're on!
It's weird that some people act like maps are some relic from the distant past which nobody uses anymore. Maps are an important tool in learning the layout of an area, and that has not changed. Maps are not going anywhere.


and I Replied:
When I worked at Domino's Pizza we had a Map of our delivery area that was SIX FEET TALL and Twelve Feet Wide... Because we REALLY wanted to know exactly where to deliver the Pizza. and We Wrote instructions on the wall map (watch out for dog - DO NOT Turn Right at the bottom of the Hill because the owner will fire a shotgun warning blast ETC ETC)
