The Wizard of Oz

We're off to see the Wizard

The wonderful Wizard of Oz

We hear he is a whiz of a wiz

If ever a wiz there was

If ever, oh ever a wiz there was...

The Wizard of Oz is one because

Because, because, because, because, because

Because of the wonderful things he does

We're off to see the Wizard

The wonderful Wizard of Oz!!!!

Fast Car

you got a fast car

When you build a bigger highway that looks more like a speedway, you can expect cars to go faster...the 101 section in Carp is a speed trap...the Highway Patrol are just sitting and waiting to pick off drivers, it seems for any minor offense...the cops will pull them over in traffic jams and that is more dangerous than speeding!

In Buellton, the CHP was pulling over cars who were traveling to the Monterey Car Show...I got to see a preview of the Lamborghinis and other exotic and cool cars...California was built for speedy cars and the movie Bullitt exemplified that...so let 'em roll...we are not a police state!!

Wendy and Nipper out for a spin??

so I'm preparing for Hurricane Hilary Clinton the best I can: canned goods, flashlights, transistor radio and guns..I'm so sorry for the folks in Hawaii dealing with fires..we can relate so give them FEMA help, all they need!! 

whoa!! I was looking forward to some tropical rain from Hurricane Hilary (Hilary??) but while I was waiting an earthquake hit...the balcony bucked and the plants swayed..this one had some kick..5.1... they say there's no such thing as " classic earthquake weather"...I take issue with that

I think it all boils down to is where one stands...between the tropic of Cancer or the tropic of Capricorn...

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, PLEASE WELCOME THE LOVELY AND TALENTED AOC TO SING FOR US!!!

Even though the Republican Party is in a shambles, and the RNC is merely a punchline at a cocktail party, I still wanna see the debates... of course Trump chickened out...he knows he'll get hammered by the portly, fast-talking Jersey guy Chris Christie and even "Too Honest" Mike Pence will get a few licks in about Jan 6 and Trump's despicable behavior on that fateful day...

All Trump had to do was be an adult and concede he lost to Biden-the American people made that very clear- and this circus could have been avoided...none of this tomfoolery would have happened...

I think these people are thespians

The Good Life

Oh, the good life

Full of fun, seems to be the ideal

is KTYD headed for the same fate as the News-Press? Oblivion? they seem to be adrift at sea with no sails...and they play KISS alot!! that's not rocknroll baby! Hope they get it together...

it looks like Montecito is next in line for the highway project. I'd like to take this opportunity to tell you well-heeled folks what to expect...but before I do, why don't you take a few pictures of the old highway and take one last look around, for soon, it will be gone forever...I'm sorry.

What Will Happen:

Caltrans and various contractors will be invading your neighborhoods with fearsome heavy equipment...if you like falling asleep to the sound of crickets chirping or the ocean waves crashing, then you're gonna have some tough nights ahead

They need to break up the asphalt..the highway is asphalt over dirt...simple and sufficient...but the new highway will be tons of rebar, asphalt and cement over asphalt...CALTRANS has a cement factory by Padaro and Loon Park...have you seen it? do you like it?? Caltrans doesn't care but the bright spot is pretty girls working on the highway

do you like trees? POOF!! all gone!

the white concrete traffic barriers will be put in place by teams of workers and big forklifts...sometimes they will stack the barriers on the side of the road, higher than they can stack shit in Texas!

When the winds kick up, it'll look like the Dust Bowl in Montecito...and giant highway signs will be erected, some attached to the bridge..and then more signs, everywhere..you won't have time to drive, you'll  be too busy reading...

so, for a few years patience will be a virtue, but until then...

you can kiss the good life good-bye!
