embryonic journey

ok..2012 is starting off with a real bang

first I miss the Hot Tuna show due to the flu....Jorma and Jack.....damn! I always wanted to see Jorma do "Embryonic Journey" at the Lobero...instead I get stuck at home...sneezing every five minutes..how is this fair?

then I read that Wendy treated Dennis Miller, Peter Noone and Nipper to lunch at a new Mexican restaurant in SB...three clueless wankers if I ever saw 'em....altho I liked "Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter"..

then I see a local coffee shop owner and doctor were arrested for sex with 14 year old girl..a family friend.... I guess they were double teaming her over a period of a year..the guys had homes in SB and Mammoth, the ski resort...and are probably conservative small business-minded Republicans...just beware of doctors and coffee shop owners now I guess...

then I see Michael Douglas' son Cameron got a stiff sentence for drug possession in jail and his mom Cassandra is blaming the judge....then I see Michael Douglas doing an acting gig on PBS about Hollywood blacklisting..Mike was so outraged at how the actors were treated by the Academy.....kinda like Mike's friend Wendy treats her workers!! Mike looked into the camera and looked sincere..really really sincere....Douglas is a phony sonofabitch...but due to the flu, I was stuck watching him...

then I see Mr.Wimpy has got religion as he interviews the associate pastor at the First Presbytarian Church in SB....Erik Weibe is the pastor's name..they talked about skateboarding and other goofy stuff...hey Erik, did ya know Mr. Wimpy thinks people who drive drunk are a-ok? did ya know that?? are all these folks now turning to organized religion when nothing else works??? did Pete and Mr. Wimpy break up??

the Daily Sound had some weird moments for the new year..the publisher Jeramy Gordon informed us that he now weighs about 300 pounds..that almost three Justin Beibers!! well you know what they say Jeramy...starve a cold, feed a fever....mmmm I just had pint of Pecan Prelines ice cream to cool me down! then Jeramy says he gonna lose all the excess fat soon...

then the Pet chick Karen Lee Stevens column in the Daily Sound praised Wendy McCaw for adopting Mikey the special pit bull...I would be really impressed if Wendy adopted a child instead...these are the kind of women who are over the top with animals like the lady and the chimp named Travis...she and Travis drank wine and dined and slept together..then Travis finally killed one of her friends and was shot..but when the Pet chick informs me that cows are "intelligent, sentient beings who form complex social relationships, can recognize one another and enjoy an array of activities including problem solving" then I get a hankering of a Jumbo Jack but not as many as Jeramy would eat!

then Karen Lee says the boys from Lompoc who killed the owls will be on trial soon per #69...I looked and didn't see anything on the website then emailed the north county DA..he said he couldn't comment on any matter involving juveniles..well if these two guys are put on trial for killing 4 owls, then the Parks Service and Nature Conservancy should be put on trial for killing thousands of animals on the Channel Islands from pigs to foxes to owls to sea birds.....you name it, they killed it...

then I see Ty Warner made a special Beany Baby and had some celebs sign it...anything for publicity...Santa Barbara has always had celebs but they weren't so hungry for the camera..they came here to hide from the cameras...Mitchum, Wayne, Harry Carey Jr.. used to hang out in the hills of Carp and Montecito back in the day and they would've kicked Ty Warner's ass for turning Montecito into a pampered poodle!!

time to let the wolves out....

be here now

hey man I been trippin for two days on Sudafed and Nyquil....I'm seeing things...I'm looking for some MJ becuz I hear it cures the flu....is that true? AAAACCHOOOOOOO!

aqualung...

I'm having a hard tiiiiimeee typpping todayyyyy becaise I got thefluu and the keybooord is slippery due t oall the snot on it.....

you ain't goin' nowhere

oo~wee ride me high, tomorrow's the day my bride's gonna come...oh~hoe are we gonna fly....

surf's up..I'm looking for 20 ft waves but I don't see nuthin but 3 footers..I would like a few days like Maverick's in Carp....that would be cool but maybe not for all them actors living at the water front!!

oh I see..now the News-Press is anti-drunk driving!! DUI arrests on the front page...guestatorial by reformed DUI supporter Terry Tyler..this year he says: don't even think about drinking and driving and he says always use blinkers when changing lanes.. I think someone from the SBPD had a sitdown with Terry and told him the facts of life!

a few months ago Tyler was complaining about cops pulling over people who change lanes erratically and without signaling in defense of Lance and Denutzio...now he's changed his tune and has become Mr. Rogers?
I think the News-Press was scared straight since we uncovered all their drug and alcohol issues...

ok so I'm looking thru the Independent when I see a paid for glossy brochure ad for medicinal cannibis by the Medical Cannibis Educational Service..ie potheads..according to the ad, pot cures cancer and all sorts of maladies and disease...in some cases drugs are called for but not everytime you get twitch...I mean, sometimes you gotta deal with reality instead of trying to escape it....if you want pot to treat something, get it like you get any other prescription...the dispensaries are simply not the way to go....smoking pot is not the way to go....unless you ain't goin' nowhere

the night the lights went out in Iowa...
the conservatives are putting on quite a show with all their wacky candidates who want to unseat Obama....let's see, if these get power again we can look forward to another unjustified war or two, more racsim, anti-gay rights, phony religious nonsense, and people peering into my bedroom to see if I'm doing anything immoral..well maybe I'll get a webcam and shock the shit outta them!! but Rick Santorum is a real con artist..he announces that he's got a daughter he won't bring out in public because she's developmentally disabled....WTF, she must be a real monster if her dad is embarrassed to be seen with her! then Santorum, who's an evangelical Christian gets misty about the scantity of life..except his daughter who he would have aborted if he could've...and he wouldn't hesitate to bomb Iran and kill all those terrorist kids...these rightwingers are just hypocrites..and thankfuly Iowa represents an America that died fifty years ago!

America was founded on freedom of speech and freedom of religion..that means you can speak your mind and follow any religion you want.. from Jesus to Buddha to Lao Tzu...that Lao Tzu guy was crazier that Chaucer, but a damn good read!!

ok so I hear that Rupert Murdoch's house boys Bill O'Reilly and Dennis Miller will be playing the Arlington...please disinfect the house after these clowns are finished...

I got tickets to see Hot Tuna and David Bromberg and I look forward to some real music and entertainment...but I'm catching a cold goddamit I hope that drunk dude breathing on me dint cause it...that dude needs an exorcism!!!

if I get the flu, I ain't goin' nowhere!

my flea has dogs

Chicago..the doggy city

hey for 2012 I thought it would be fun to do only stories about dogs...that's right ..every post will be about dogs...so today I have provided some dog educational material per Wendy from the Chicago area...the place with all the lakes...I love Chicago having lived there as a kid..and nothing will change that not even this story about mean dog owners who forced their pit bull terriers to attack......

Pit Bull Attack!!

By Carlos Sadovi and Kate Thayer.. Tribune reporters
7:06 a.m. CST, January 3, 2012

The owner of the two pit bulls killed by Chicago police after they attacked a lakefront jogger has been ticketed for failing to restrain them and not having city licenses for them, authorities said.

Police wouldn't identify the owner and said he would not be criminally charged.

On Monday, only hours after he tried unsuccessfully to rescue the jogger, hitting the dogs repeatedly with a baseball bat, Stanley Lee described what happened.

It was hot in his South Shore apartment, Lee said, so he cracked open a window. That’s when he heard the screams for help.

Lee’s apartment overlooks Rainbow Beach Park along the lakefront, and through his window he witnessed a frightening scene: two pit bulls attacking a 62-year-old jogger.

“He was saying, ‘Help me, help me,’” Lee said. Grabbing a baseball bat, the 35-year-old Lee ran outside to try to chase the dogs away from the jogger. He said he hit the dogs repeatedly with the bat, to no avail.

“They just wouldn’t let the man go,” Lee said.

Arriving police officers were confronted by the dogs and fatally shot them, authorities said
The jogger, Joseph Finley, was in critical condition Monday night after undergoing surgery at Stroger Hospital, according to a hospital spokeswoman. Finley, who was believed to live in the neighborhood, was bitten over his entire body, including his legs, arms and face, police said. Lee noted a deep wound to the man’s leg.

Minutes after an ambulance took Finley away, a pair of running shoes and ankle weights lay near the bloodied grass in the park at 7715 S. South Shore Drive. Bloody snow also remained on a path where one of the dogs was shot to death.

Meanwhile, residents near Rainbow Beach Park were wondering why two pit bulls had been in the park off-leash.

Darlene Henderson, who was out walking her two small dogs in the hours after the attack, said she often sees dogs unattended or off their leashes.

Despite reports to animal control officials, “nothing ever happens,” she said, adding that she now carries Mace during her twice-daily walks. Henderson’s own cocker spaniel mix, Keefer, was attacked two years ago in the park by a Rottweiler but survived after surgery.

Henderson also once saw a pit bull tear a child’s coat off, though the child wasn’t harmed, she said.

“I don’t know what it is with the pit bulls,” she said, referring to how many she sees living in the neighborhood, which has struggled with violent crime in recent years.

Adesoji Adeyinka, who also lives near the area of the attack, said he will rethink his weekend walks along the beach with his two young daughters.

“I won’t let them out there, even with me,” he said, adding that he has seen unleashed pit bulls in the area, but usually with owners standing nearby.

TeResa Gaddis also lives near Rainbow Beach Park. She saw one of the dead dogs as she walked her two German shepherd mixes Monday morning just before animal control officials cleared the scene.

“It’s a shame all the way around. It just broke my heart to see them lying there,” she said.

Joggers are especially susceptible to aggressive dogs, Travis said, because they’re in constant motion.

“The sad part is, joggers are interesting to dogs. A jogger is almost by definition appealing to a dog,” she said. “Our advice to anybody is if you’re out someplace (and a dog charges), you’re not going to outrun it so be as still as possible, don’t make eye contact and look down. If a dog is acting threatening, curl up into a ball and try to protect your internal organs.”

so don't jog!!!

hey bull dog....

what makes you think you're something special when you smile??

Wendy defends her mutts...

well I had to read between the lines a little before I got Wendy's message to her loyal readers..loyal meaning dog-loyal..she thinks you people are dogs which might be ok 4u since she likes dogs more than people...

but she tells us dogs that she has a new dog..a kinda wacky looking pit bull named Mikey..after Mike Stoker??

I dunno but she goes on and on about dogs are only mean if their owners are mean and that Mikey doesn't have mean bone in his body..blah blah blah...I mean who cares... we're talking dogs here!!!

all this sappy dog talk gives me the hives....people like Wendy are starving for love and affection they didn't get from their parents and the only place they can get it is from a dog....not a wild dog like a coyote mind you, but a domestic dog that as far as I can tell has no practical use other than filling a mommy or daddy role to an emotionallly wounded adult...

but anyway reading between the lines I see the greeting from Wendy was not about dogs at all! it was about Peter Lance, Scott Steepleton, Nipper, Katich and the Baron..all the mutts in her little kingdom...

now the reason I believe this is coz Wendy left little clues about her "reporters"....they may have received "bad press" (News-Press reference)..or when she says pit bulls are good with children and mentions "Petey" from the Little Rascals TV series in the 1950s...(Petey being an obvious reference to Peter Lance trying to tell us what a great guy he really is)...

and it's a well known fact that Petey often terrorized Buckwheat which is why black folks don't like dogs very much..and most pit bulls suffer from ADHD transferred to them from their nutjob owners...I hope Mikey survives Wendy

Wendy's mutt is a cross between a terrier and a pit bull..or interbreeding..it's a nice way to say that they let some hardened pit bulls loose to rape some little terriers...these terrier pit bulls aren't pets, they're experiments!!

Every 40 seconds, someone in the United States seeks medical attention for a dog bite.

There are approximately 800,000 bites per year in the United States that require medical treatment.
Most of the victims are children, and most of them are bitten on the face.

This breed is variously cited as being responsible for nearly a third of all fatal dog attacks in the United States, in part due to its tenacity in a fight. Pit bulls cause one-third of dog-bite related fatalities while only make up less than 2% of the dog population. Because of the deaths, maulings and serious injuries inflicted by Pit Bulls, many countries worldwide ban these dogs altogether or require licenses for ownership of them. In response to many high profile maulings and fatal attacks by Pit Bulls, many US cities and towns have specifically targeted the breed with legislation restricting ownership and increasing penalties on owners for attacks made by their Pit Bulls. Pit Bulls are often responsible for attacking and killing other dog breeds as well as cats and small pets.

and the fact that she got Mikey in Carp at the Ark pet shop.. well, Carp being an obvious reference to me picking on her dumb reporters....see, I shoulda been a detective!

now my suggestion is to round up all the pit bulls and send them thru the meat grinder to make cat food!

guns and roses

Take me down to the paradise city Where the grass is green And the girls are pretty....

ok so after the tour of the police facilities, Corbett and I head out into the mean streets of Santa Barbara..the asphalt jungle..Paradise city....

and it's such a lovely day....a bit hot...we take the Range Master guy down to the city yard to get his vehicle checked out....this guy kinda scared me..he was cool and calm and had all the fire power over everyone else..and he knew it...if you do a tour, don't mess with the Range Master...the shot caller....the Big Kahuna...

then we park in the red zone for some temporary surveillance...the cops are always looking for things...the police cars are equipped with guns, roses, computers..everything....stuff is always coming into the computer and the officers are always checking..they pull over sometimes to read the info..so if you see a cop on the side of the road, he's not necessarily waiting for you to commit a crime, he's just doing his job! it's not always about you you know!! oh yeah..Happy New Year!!

but what was interesting is how people look at you when you're in a cop car...when we we're riding down State Street, I've never had so many eyes on me...glares, smiles, indifferent glances..but they all looked...and State was bustling on Friday..tourists everywhere, families, the kids by the hamburger joint...it was a very healthy place so I don't see why Randy and Dale are always complaining about it...or the News-Press...I swear these folks are just too silly for words!!

ok so before we cruised State Street a call came in about an incident at Cottage Hospital...a drunk guy was creating some trouble..so we went to check it out..another cop was on scene and had the guy in the back seat....

Corbett stopped and offered to transfer the drunk guy.....the other cop said "ok" and was freed up to take another call... yippee we got to take the drunk guy to County Jail...so I'm in the car watching this transpire..they're filling out forms, people gather to watch from a safe distance..they don't interfere like the yuppiemuppies did.. then the folks leave then gather again then leave again....

cops it seems always draw attention no matter what they do..there's an interesting psychology at work....even at stop signs, people freeze with fear until the cop tells them it's ok, go ahead... I won't kill you...

anyway back to the drunk guy....wasted is the word..really fucked up is even better...Corbett goes over and helps him out of the car into his cruiser...I can smell the booze! so as a ridealong passenger I got a drunk guy and a rifle behind my left ear in this cop car....wow...that's never happened before!!!

after about 30 minutes we leave for the county jail...we go thru some remote contolled gates and park outside the back entrance....the inmates' entrance....the Sally Port..the very same entrance that Michael Jackson walked through before Sneddon finally killed him....

I am only allowed to go into little waiting room... can't go into the main hall where the action is..and no pictures inside...but this place is creepy...thru the thick glass I see some holding cells with prisoners peering at me..Corbett walks our drunk fellow into the hall and the dude falls down, his pants are falling down, he can't even pull them up....his life is falling down..and the place wreaked of old drunks and disinfectant and desolation...it was pretty sad...

I watched as Corbett and the other officers tended to the drunk guy...cops are babysitters, peacekeepers, psychologists, stern disciplinarians to adults who for whatever reason can't take care of themselves..this drunk guy has been arrested many many times before and was listed as a stalker, a police safety threat and numerous other issues with him..what a waste of taxpayer money dealing with these guys!!

so we drop him off and say good-bye and head back into Santa Barbara..Corbett does a little stake out on a guy who has a complaint against him....we're about a block from lower State St...the guy allegedly was threatening to kill his old girlfriend and stalking her, so Corbett wanted to catch him at his place of work and arrest him...but the guy didn't show up...then another cop pulls over someone who ran a red light and we check it out...today Friday, the cops are short-handed so they gotta do everything....

it is obvious they need more cops because some are doubling as dispatchers..being crossed trained and thereby not out patrolling the streets..if this sounds like an ad for more police it is!!

I think pulling cops off the beat was councilman Dale Francisco's idea...cross training may work in other fields like selling tee shirts at Territory Ahead, but being a cop is a specialized career..it makes no sense to make a cop do dispatch work..let the trained dispatchers do that!! do we really need to pay cultish nativists in the city Creeks Dept $100000/year to monitor weeds?? it's crazy....

so we cruise down State St and got some waves from young kids..it was cool..cops have alot of power and maybe the News-Press and Team Wendy members are threatened by that, hence the smear jobs... I would like to see Steepleton do a ride-along and a story but I bet his mommy wouldn't let him....

so there's some misconceptions about the cops thanks to media clowns like the News-Press..that's obvious...initially, I found a well run city function in the Police Dept, and people who were professional and friendly...and eager to get to work...what more do you want from your government?? accountability? it's all there for anyone to see if you care to expend the effort...

so we ended the tour and I thanked Officer Corbett...the day was still rather hot but started to cool down..I jumped in my truck and headed back home.. a cool thick fog greeted me and it was a welcome sight..it was getting dark and the heavy mist cast a spooky glow among all the headlights and street lights....it was kinda Silver Bells because I could still see the moon and stars....and the pretty girls
