You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet

she looked at me with big brown eyes and said....

 

I was driving home recently on Highway 101... it was a cold foggy August morning...to my right was the Bird Refuge, to my left was the golf course, ripped to shreds and torn asunder...Ty Warner's Montecito Country Club is being remodeled into an image of Jack Niclaus, the great old golfer whose time has come and gone...

but the Bird Refuge reeked like my old girlfriend..she had issues and a man can take only so much..so I took what I could get, I took what I could get...then I got the hell outta there!

but when the course is finished and the golf begins, those players are going to have to smell the Bird Refuge and that means more bogeys than birdies..wheeeewwww!!! ah memories

Donald Trump recently hinted that the "second amendment people" could take care of Hillary and her pick of SCOTUS judges..ie shoot them

then he said it was sarcasm...well it was stupid and besides, the second amendment people have already taken care of some fellow Americans..at Sandy Hook Elementary school; in San Bernadino; in Florida; in Texas...yup, they is shooting up a storm

and the NRA keeps sending me propaganda about losing my gun rights to the libs so I should send them money. The NRA is classified as a 501(c)(4) "social welfare" organization. It exists to improve social welfare, not to produce profit. (Whether others agree that the promotion of social welfare is what it actually accomplishes is immaterial; clearly the organization sees itself this way.) A 501(c)(4), unlike a 501(c)(3), is allowed to engage in political lobbying.

lots of dumbasses in the NRA..they are like little Nazis!!

but I guess that is just Donald eschewing political correctness, whatever that is..oh I see in the News-Press an ad for Wendy's Young Miss America Foundation that says if you too are tired of political correctness, you can get on their mailing list and attend luncheons with speakers like lyin' Ted Cruz and mad dog Michelle Malkin who will tell you what you want to hear if you are conservative, facts be damned!

religious liberty? so long as your religion doesn't spill over into my life, you are free to chant and follow God's Law or Sharia Law....

but just try to force your religious views on me and you'll see what the second amendment is really all about

Shoot Out The Lights

Ah he might laugh but you won't see him
As he thunders through the night

so three young people in their 20s were killed on the Mesa in a high speed crash.......liquor most certainly involved

alcohol is the only legal drug that can make you drive 100 mph thru the city neighborhood streets, become airborne, hit a tree, a telephone pole and fire hydrant and crash into a resident's yard and die with a few of your passengers..and people call it an accident

this was no accident because if you drink and drive and crash and burn it is inevitable..a certainty..it's a problem, not an accident..

so I wonder where the kids were drinking....and why they were allowed to drive...bar workers have a duty to call cabs and cops...how hard can that be? if you are serving booze, you have an obligation to monitor the behavior of your customers...if they are boozed up they are out of control...stumbling out the door

but the booze culture in Santa Barbara is well-established like a tick on a mutt...never know where or when it's gonna burrow to suck for more blood

the cops used to have a DUI patrol but the drunks complained the cops were too hard on them and started crying to the News-Press and the City of Santa Barbara wimped out and started handing out big settlements/money to the drunks who sued for "civil rights abuse"...that's how Wendy got rich-a divorce settlement so I'm not surprised...but the new Chief should re-instate the DUI patrol which was very effective..kick-ass effective and not defer to the News-Press wankers who are nothing more than whiskey peddlers

but what about my rights to pursue happiness with so many drunks on the road??

so where were the kids getting tanked? the Boathouse over on Hendry's maybe..that place is a cesspool with the drunks, the fights, the stabbing and the freaking dogs everywhere

so now we have more drunks and deaths on the road...three young people..dead as doornails

ahhhh..freedom

Africa

I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in, twelve-thirty flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation

the drought will change the land...in California, bears will die off to be replaced by lions and tigers and elephants and giraffes and maybe some wildebeests...

over on the Channel Islands, the lions and tigers will rule...they are not defenseless pigs and won't be slaughtered for to save the fox....the lions will take care of the present restored inbred fox over-population and the tigers will take care of the tourists...

the wildebeests will roam the islands having swum/floated over from Africa and they will provide food for the big cats...the grazers and hooved animals have not denuded the islands, erosion has...only the strong will survive on the islands

the Chumash will die off and you'll see more black people, more Zulus up in the valley, running safaris instead of casinos..it'll be cool

the Endangered Species Act will be removed as a license to kill.....

On Thursday, August 11, Rep. Lois Capps (CA-24) will join federal and local partners to celebrate the delisting of three Channel Island fox subspecies from the Federal List of Threatened and Endangered Species, marking the fastest recovery of any mammal in the United States in the history of the Endangered Species Act (ESA).

Capps has played an instrumental role in protecting the Channel Island fox, one of America's rarest mammals, for more than fifteen years by raising awareness in Congress of the threats to these species, working with partners to remove invasive species, and helping to secure funding to support recovery efforts through the appropriations process. For example, Capps led Congressional efforts to get the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFW) to designate the fox as an endangered species and participated in the joint efforts to aid recovery alongside federal and conservation partners by securing funds for and removing barriers to address invasive species and habitat destruction. Additionally, Capps introduced legislation to ensure protection of essential fox environment on Santa Rosa Island, which was included in the fiscal year 2008 Omnibus Appropriations Bill that became law in 2007.

In March 2016, Capps and U.S. Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewel toured the Channel Islands National Park to celebrate the foxes' recovery and highlight the conservation efforts that resulted in the USFW's proposal to delist three of the four subspecies of the fox listed under the ESA a month earlier; the fourth listed species was proposed to be down listed from endangered to threatened at the same time

ok so Lois Capps is a tool for the Nature Conservancy and National Parks Service... Lois pulled a fast one on the gullible public and now they are gonna celebrate the "recovery" of the Channel islandFox....when oh when will this fiasco be exposed??

Instead, the feds keep lying about the big success of captive breeding inbred foxes which were never endangered by golden eagles anyway...they were INBRED which creates all types of problems and disease..so they put radio collars on the foxes, bred them, inocualted them and now as I've pointed out they are running amuk on Santa Cruz island stealing food and stuff from the tourists!! and since Lois is part of the scam, she should be in jail for the animal slaughter and abuse at the hands of the NPS and Nature Con....

she enabled and funded the killing/poisoning of thousands of animals from rats to birds just like she enabled the killing of Mallory Dies by her drunk pal Raymond Morua..

are they gonna celebrate that next??

Late For The Sky

The words had all been spoken but somehow the feeling still wasn't right And still we continued on through the night

Hollister Ranch is a cool place...never been inside but it's old California when the Spanish owned it...and if you planned right, you bought a parcel and now live the vida loca...

if you are wealthy you can buy whatever you want...buy the beach, buy the rain...see if I care

but the story I've been seeing in the media started in the LA Times and the locals chimed in: Hollister Ranch beach access for the public...being a private place, the coastline is pristine...when people own property, they tend to take care of it...

http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-hollister-ranch-20160726-snap-story.html


unfortunately, white folks moved in and turn some of our local beaches into trash strewn dog parks....I'm fighting hard to keep Santa Claus beach from suffering the same fate...when I walk on the beach I do not want to step in dog shit...white people worship dog shit..they pick it up and bag it, say a prayer then leave the bag on a rock...it's odd and curious behavior and it makes me gag
now I'm all for beach access for everyone, but if they can keep Hollister Ranch Beach private, I'm ok with that...not a big deal..let the folks who live there alone..they deserve what they got..it's isolated

now Wendy McCuckoo tried to limit beach access below her Hope Ranch mansion and that was inappropriate and mean-spirited...just because she got rich from a divorce doesn't mean the world owes her anything...fuck her!! fuck that bitch!!

and the fact that the YMCA owns some land in the area and wants to build a summer camp should be a separate issue but it's part of the lawsuit with a bunch of easments and promises when they bought the land in 1972...

camps are cool..every kid should go to camp...the tall cat on my right with the glasses had a big old Gibson guitar and I followed him around camp trying to learn stuff....great guy!! look at all them pals..my band of gypsies...we had fun and got into a little trouble

the cutie on my left...well...we were both wearing cowboy boots, pants in.... I don't know why she was the only girl in the picture but I was pretty happy...she was cool...a tomboy but all girl..look at those eyes...all the debutantes in Houston couldn't hold a candle to her!

and whose hand is she touching, ever so slightly?? it looks like we were all in on one big secret joke...what a picture!

it takes the right people to make places special...and the right ones are the owners of Hollister Ranch right now 

Woodstock

we are stardust, we are golden

hey man, don't dump your hippie fantasies on me!! Woodstock is over..there was only one original and it will never happen again!! and it was awesome

ok Carpinteria has enough festivals..we have two good solid fun festivals..the Avocado Fest and the 4th of July fest....we don't need anymore...but I see the city is contemplating an Open Streets Festival like they have in Santa Barbara...no no no no! this must not happen here..there is no reason for this to happen...they close down the city so a bunch of annoying hipsters and yuppies can play in the streets...I mean there's the Bluffs, the beach, the mountains-plenty of room for recreation..why the fruck would they want to close the streets?? no no no no!!

but the worst festival is the Beer Festival called Surf and Suds...beer and surfing have nothing to do with each other and combining them is a stupid idea..yet for the 4th time in as many years, Carpinteria State Beach will hold the Surf and Suds Beer Festival..this is advertised in the Coastal View who also sponsors the fest..but I noticed a "Mega Sized Beer Pong" was mentioned in the ad

beer pong..isn't that the game that affluenza kid from Texas was playing when he got busted for violating his court order...he's the kid who killed four people while driving drunk
　

 

The Official Rules of Beer Pong

(a.k.a Beirut)

Description:

Beer Pong is a drinking game which is especially popular among college students, but can be enjoyed by any group looking for anything from a good buzz to a drunken stupor. It is generally played in pairs of two, with the teams standing at opposing ends of a flat, rectangular surface (preferably a ping pong table, but anything accepted by both teams can be used). Six or ten cups are formed in a pyramid at either end of the table, with the base of the pyramid centered at the edge of the table. The players attempt to toss or bounce ping pong balls into the cups, each of which is filled with 1/3 of a beer (or other intoxicating spirit). When a player makes a shot into a cup of the opposing team, a player from the opposing team drinks the contents of the cup and removes it from the table. The game continues in this way, with both players from one team taking a shot, followed by both players from the other team. The team that is able to clear all of the opposing team’s cups first is the winner, with the losing team splitting the contents of the winning team’s remaining cups. To begin, a player from each team takes a shot simultaneously without looking at the cups. This is repeated until one team makes, and one team misses. This decides who gets the first possestion. After the first game, the winning team gets the first shot. The elbow rule is also applied for EVERY shot. A players elbow may not cross the plane of the playing table or it does not count.It sounds simple, but the game is more complex than it first appears, as you will soon see…

Bouncing vs Tossing:

Any player taking a shot has the option of attempting to toss the ball directly into the opposing team’s cups or bouncing the ball one or more times into the cups. If a player successfully makes a bounced shot, the opposing team has to drink two cups: the one in which the shot was made and another from the pyramid. As we already know, a regular (non-bounced) toss is only worth a single cup. However, there is a catch. The defending (non-throwing) team can defend cups against bounced a shot by blocking or swatting the ball once it hits the table. The defending team can only defend a shot once the ball has hit the table, so the throwing team doesn’t take a risk by tossing instead of bouncing, as tossed shots are indefensible. Defending a toss as if it were a bounce is a sign of either drunkenness or dishonor; either way, it is punished at the very least by letting the player shoot again, if not by drinking a cup. This can be decided in a civil fashion by both sides using their best judgment, taking into account the circumstances surrounding the infraction.

how stupid is this? I just can't believe that Carpinteria is holding a festival that encourages people to get drunk..ENCOURAGES!!! is this why we're fighting all these desert wars so these little jerk-offs can play beer pong all day???

hopefully they will play beer pong, get drunk and go surfing at Carp beach...

and there'll be plenty of sharks just off shore...waiting

can you dig it??

The Girl From Ipanema

tall and tan and young and lovely....

I finally figured out what's wrong with the News-Press-they all got ZIKA!!

the nonprofit Channel Keeper spends lots of time and money suing the City of Santa Barbara for a few reasons: to keep the lawyers rich and to keep the fat chick's mouth full of cheeseburgers..oh you know who she is...

but Channelkeeper and Princess Kira are unnecessary because the City of Santa Barbara does a great job protecting the ocean from pollution...

so when I see reports about Rio de Janeiro's waters being polluted, about raw sewage flowing into the bay, the same water where Olympic athletes are swimming and boating, where some are wearing protective gear, I am thankful to live in the USA where pollution is taken seriously..not by conservatives, but by everyone else who uses the water for food and recreation

so I thank all the folks who work at all the sewage treatment plants, from Carp to Goleta for REALLY keeping us safe! it's a dirty job, and these folks do it without wanking....so pay them well!!
but in Rio, a beautiful place, how can they live with such an environmental mess? if Channelkeeper was really worth anything, they'd be in Brazil kicking up a storm about this but it is easier to sue the City of SB and get a payday from the taxpayers...over a few gallons of sewage that overflowed when city lines back up occasionally...get real

https://sports.vice.com/en_us/article/rios-bay-of-all-delights-the-polluted-waters-of-the-2016-olympics

"To those familiar with the modern Guanabara Bay, around which sprawls the city of Rio de Janeiro, this description of the region by Herman Melville must seem like a surrealist fantasy. So must the depiction of the bay in Whale Hunting, a work by 18th century Brazilian artist Leandro Joaquim, which shows giant mammals being hunted amidst the waves.

Today, much of the region's wildlife has been eradicated by the untreated sewage and industrial waste that pours into the bay on a daily basis. Broken television sets, plastic bags and used condoms are a more common sight than fish, and last week a severed arm was found floating in its waters"

it's unconscionable!!

and it will never happen here

Caroline No

where is the girl I used to know....

a girl once told me that the Santa Barbara waterfront looks seedy, or dirty...I looked up from my computer this morning, glanced out the window and recalled my stint on Cannery Row... the skies were gray again..the weather affects the mood..so if you look at Santa Barbara in the gray overcast, the buildings look dirty, the people look ghostly and since we've had no rain for five years, nothing gets washed away..not the dirt, not the sins

ok so I had to get some new tires for my truck...I got a flat last week just as I exited at the Bird Refuge and BOOM BOOM!!! rolled very loudly into Dal Pozzo's and they found a big hole from a spike in the tire...on the way some chick started screaming at me around Tri County Produce "you've got a flat tire, you've got a flat tire!!" yeah, I know

 

 

anyway I'm back today to get a whole set of tires...it'll take about an hour so I brought my bike and went to check out the waterfront to see if maybe that chick was tripping on some Australian Gold...

saw a really cool Royal Enfield motorcycle but there have been some changes to the SB waterfront...the state of destruction/development is constant..where is the Santa Barbara I used to know??

the State Street main artery has been severed so I don't know if I'm in Santa Barbara or Mumbai or Santa Monica...the Funk Zone is a maze of alcohol establishments and trendy eateries...you could go round in circles here for hours and not see anything..

the Fiesta Parade may look like an illegal alien invasion to the confused conservatives and the drunks in the Funk Zone could panic and fall off their bar stools

the Reagan Ranch Center owned by Wendy McCuckoo is a shrine to a dead president and a lost political party....basically, it's a mausoleum..it's death for the dead..it has no heart

and the new bridge by Cabrillo Blvd is over-engineered and has no real Santa Barbara stamp on it...looks like a bunker bomb hit the site...the homeless look at home, finally
the skate park should never have been built..

the carousel is out of place and unwelcoming...go to Monterey to see a real old timey carousel and arcade...when you're in Monterey, you know you are in Monterey

yes it's true somebody fucked with the Santa Barbara waterfront...for the high-dollar tourist trade...it's so sad to watch a sweet thing die, Oh Caroline No

but you can still get a a good burger at Sambo's!
