The Murders in the Rue Morgue

 “Y, no obstante, calcular no es intrínsecamente analizar.”

with Halloween approaching in a midnight coach whipped by a cackling, yet foolish raven, a Cooper's Hawk crouches by the highway...pondering, WTF is KTYD playing Whitesnake and other shitty bands for??? Ratt??? oh God No!! I like that old time rocknroll!!!

while looking for witnesses to a murder...

The Marijuana Conspiracy

the cannibis odors wafting thru the Carpinteria Valley past few years are pretty much gone...they didn't bother me but they did bother the close neighbors with tales of headaches and sickness...now I gotta watch out for stoners...I got sentries posted in the hills, all over the valley to the beaches for dudes doping up...Brer Crow, brother Owl, Brer Coyote, brother kitty cat, Brer Raccoon are all watching for me!!

but it's political season and somebody did a little political spoof on a campaign sign locally! cute! laugh it off, Alejandra

but what Santa Barbara needs is another Helene Schneider for Mayor...talented leader, good mayor and limited BS...

now Wendy may have fucked up the News-Press, but she was right about the Teamsters...if they think Trump is on their side, they are nuts!!

ok, so the election thing, and I got my flier from the Democratic Party with Kamala and Tim...Salud and Monique...

in Santa Barbara, I like Wendy Santamaria, she's very pretty!

I am not a Democrat and certainly not a Republican...not until they get rid of Trump and his MAGA cult...Haitians eating the pets of the white folks in suburbia?? fucking ridiculous esp coming from some of these inbred Appalachian hillbillies!

Haitian gals are lovely!

in Carp, I like the new girl Adriana Gonzolas-Smith...slow growth is where it's at... and Natalia...either one will do!! 

Do what? well, that's the question...

You Wreck Me

You wreck me baby!

Yeah, you break me in two

well, debate raconteurs, I'll make this Swift, Kamala Harris wrecked Donny Trump and ripped him a new one, in the vernacular of the peasantry...

it was a stark contrast between an accomplished, educated woman and an ignorant, superstitious, bumbling, incoherent oaf...

and the stupidest thing Trump said, besides babies being killed at birth, was the racist trope about Haitian immigrants filling white neighborhoods, stealing and eating their pets!!

however, I would look at the more likely culprit

Wile E. Coyote

We Can Work It Out

Try to see it my way...

well Labor Day was fun...chicks everywhere...lots of peeps on the highway and in the sky...the Bloody Red Baron of Germany!!

cool cars...the Chevy Corvette is simply the coolest looking car ever built

by American labor!!!

I'm Going Home

see my baby

Hey man, I feel this grooviness in the air... Woodstock happened 55 years ago, August 15-18, 1969...

three days, man...three days!

no regrets, Coyote

and I get this info that Wendy's pal and animal rescue activist Julia, er whats-her-name got arrested for concealed firearms in vehicle...that's a felony! geez, some MAGA chicks never learn!! 

WOODSTOCK...the giant Bethel, NY Music and Arts Festival with lots of cool music...when Alvin Lee and Ten Years After got on stage and ripped into "I'm Going Home", it was epic! 

Alvin with his big, beautiful red 1959 Gibson ES-335..possibly the best electric guitar ever made and built for Rock-n-Roll and the Blues... and today, they are worth a fortune...

goin' home, my baby!!!!

Hot Fun in the Summertime

oh Lord!!!

I love watching the trek from the Santa Barbara Mission to Ventura...the folks pass by the King's Highway and stop at St Joseph's church for rest...dinner, vespers, tents and sleeping bags..just like summer camp!

the weather is fine, clear skies for watching the stars and the stalking moon...

Slots at the Marsh!

The King's Highway...it's where I live and the spirit ain't worth spit without a little exercise...

"Two glorious days of walking in the footsteps of St. Junipero Serra along the route of the historic and iconic El Camino Real: This year we will turn right on to Santa Claus Lane, strolling past the popular beach and beachside cafes to the recently opened new bike and pedestrian path that skirts the Carpinteria Estuary"

of course, there's controversy with Serra and the natives but is controversy not the saccharin of life? and this year, the Chumash have installed slot machines (see picture) along the path to deprive the righteous of their money..

but as ever'one knows, a fool and his money are soon parted

walk on!

I'm Only Sleeping

When I wake up early in the morning

Lift my head, I'm still yawning

the Paris Olympic controversy reminds me when I was a teen and John Lennon commented that the Beatles were more popular than Jesus...and guess who got offended, calling for Beatle boycotts, burning Beatle records and all sorts of nonsense? the McCarthyites, the Birchers, the Christians, southern Baptists and of course the KKK who all make up today's MAGA cult!!

I was fascinated that these knuckleheads would make such a fuss over John's words about religion...this was around the time of the Yesterday and Today album, the Butcher cover...1966...Capital Records eventually changed the cover to the "Trunk" image but the Butcher album is a collector's item...free market capitalism!! Great album!

John was young, talented and I thought he was the coolest guy in the world while all these religious shits were falling all over themselves trying to discredit  the Beatles...free speech is free speech and John made the most of it...ironic that some Americans simply hate free speech...

the churches freaked when kids were flocking to the Beatles instead of being brainwashed by religious cults...it's all about control and manipulation with organized religion...

Kids, never enter a confession booth with a Catholic priest!!!

and the USA keeps racking up the Olympic medals!!

Keeping an eye on the world

Going by my window...
