somewhere over the rainbow

if happy little bluebirds fly, beyond the rainbow why oh why can't I??

well hamburgers are making a comeback I hear.. I didn't know they went anywhere...sometimes I don't have time to sit down and analyse a meal, so a Whopper, fries and a Coke really hit the spot...

so the Top Hat Burger Palace (palace...now there's some satire!) joint in Ventura was sold for condo development...but the place re-opened recently by the high school..that's good but the old place was gritty and wonderful Ventura from the old days...freaks and cowboys and businessmen and pretty girls...living on Poli St..with an ocean view..for $60 a month....

and now a Hooter's restaurant is opening in the Ventura Thousand Oaks area....is there anything wrong with getting a meal delivered by a pretty young woman dressed in a bathing suit..no, there isn't...this is America....and I've always loved waitresses...

rubber trees

I was appalled at what could only be called close to despicable (thanks Newt) at what I witnessed while watching a SBCAG meeting on gov't TV...now, normally I don't watch these meetings because they annoy me...they do meet to discuss highway/traffic safety and other issues but there's like fifty members of the committee! some were sitting on each others laps due to lack of room! there was a father and son team on the committee..the rightwinger Lavagnino dudes from Santa Maria! can't these guys do anything without their mommies and daddies close by?? I guess not

and I can never follow what gets done in these meetings and I'm not about to try now....but the irony here is Joe Armendariz is the chair! one way to improve highway safety is not drive drunk..duh...

and then the public comment section came and a guy who couldn't see, a sign language lady and a bunch of gals who spoke only Spanish came up to speak and then a lady with a moustache came up....stay off the highways all of you! well it was about bus needs so they don't drive...which is very wise of them..don't drive if you can't..

and I had to laugh at Joe who for some reason looked like Judy Garland at the meeting....maybe it was the pancake make-up or the glasses??

Joe why are you here?? why are you on this committee, this board? who put you on this board? who in their right mind would put you on this board? why don't you leave?

then Janet Wolf suggests that Joe not attend an upcoming meeting in OZ (DC) to see the Wizard (Obama)...being that Joe is the outgoing chair, they would normally send him with two other members on the trip, but Janet nixed Joe's participation saying that there's just too many trees in OZ and Joe might hurt himself..

I think SBCAG needs to be dissolved and the poor people who ride buses need to fend for themselves.....transportation need not be so complicated that it needs fifty people on a committee...

oh yeah, I think we need to plant some rubber trees by the highway in Carp so when you smash into one, it won't hurt you or your car..and some rubber trees even got hooters!!
