The Joker

I'm a picker, I'm a grinner, I'm a lover and I'm a sinner

do you wanna mess with the world's 5th largest economy? or kill a huge surplus? 

do you wanna see jack-booted thugs shoot and kill immigrant women or put them and their kids in cages like animals??

do you want spineless politicians doing the NRA's bidding?

so vote smart...I see the signs on Foothill Rd in Carp....Foothill Road..what do you want: potholes or potheads????

the same old signs promoting losers...I will not vote for Justin Fareed because he still lives with his mommy and daddy..hahah..yo Justin

Sea of Heartbreak

lost love and loneliness

many people died in WWII

"He went overseas to Italy in September 1943, serving with an assault unit (141st Infantry Regiment, 36th Infantry Division). In February 1944, while fighting in the Cassino area, he received a shrapnel wound in the leg. He was awarded the Purple Heart Medal (with Oak Leaf Cluster). For gallantry in action in May of 1944 he was honored with the Silver Star Medal. On May 26, 1944, he was promoted to first lieutenant. While practicing firing with others he received a second wound when a bullet fragment lodged in his left arm.

On June 18, 1944, Mills, son of George and Mary (Pool) Mills of Rockport, was killed in action in Italy, according to a telegram received by his wife"

a real war fought by real men and women who really did protect my freedom

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

A sword by itself rules nothing. It only comes alive in skilled hands. 

so, Julia used the "Night Stalker" defense to get the jury to find her not guilty on the stalker and threats charges...guffaw!!

apparently the jury fell for the story that the Night Stalker scared Julia when she was a kid in Goleta so that's why she's a little cuckoo now

but she was found guilty of not surrendering her firearms...she'll get probation for that meaning the taxpayers will pay to babysit her

so # 69 has been given another chance and she should use it wisely...as the western tiger swallowtail welcomes the cool spring, so should Julia welcome the chance to change, as the butterfly changes from spring to summer

"the butterfly speaks to me of the special connection women have with the moon. And whether you’re a man or a woman, the ability to balance and honor both the solar (masculine, proactive) and lunar (feminine, intuitive) aspects of your inner being.

Yellow. The color of the sun. Warmth, light, vitality, action! Yellow is also the color most associated with the Solar Plexus Chakra, the power center of the body.

Black. The color of night. Rest, dreams, that which is hidden. This is the realm of intuition, and regeneration.
With its vivid black and yellow stripes and dots, the Tiger Swallowtail speaks to us of integrating these two aspects of our selves. Black on yellow, yellow on black, rhythmically interspersed with each other.

With its vivid black and yellow stripes and dots, the Tiger Swallowtail speaks to us of integrating these two aspects of our selves. Black on yellow, yellow on black, rhythmically interspersed with each other.

This is the rhythm of the universe. Day, night. Inbreath, outbreath. Wake and sleep"

wake up, #69

I Fought the Law

and the law won

now they didn't call me as a character witness during the Trial of #69, Julia from the Animal Rescue Center...I've been reading the story from Noozhawk, the only media outlet that is covering it...very good reporting, btw

Julia is kinda whacked though some of her pals say she is kind and considerate...however her neighbors are telling tales of disturbing behavior...threats, guns, assault with a vehicle, screaming 'whore" at her neighbor..this all due to some fuss over all the animals Julia rescues..her house that donations bought her is like a zoo and that seems to have started all the ruckus...

this is one deer Julia couldn't rescue!

but I've said this before, these animal ladies are just plain weird and over-the-top like Wendy...remember Julia stood outside the News-Press on their Day of Racism and called immigrants from Mexico "invasive species" which is neither kind nor considerate....somebody's got to pick the lettuce and clean the sheets and it certainly ain't gonna be #69..she doesn't work for a living, she gets rich people like Wendy to give her money to chase after animals and kidnap them!!

and what about her affair with ex-city councilman Coconut Joe who embarrassed the shit outta Carpinteria..sexting, drunk driver and he still writes drivel for the News-Press!!

anyhoo, here's Julia's story...check it out

https://www.noozhawk.com/article/neighbors_testify_about_interactions_with_solvang_animal_rescue_operator

'Jurors in the Santa Barbara County Superior Court trial of a Solvang animal rescue operator heard audio recordings of the woman howling like a coyote, screaming obscenities and mimicking a machine gun, with her neighbors saying the escalating actions made them fearful. 

“I really do believe she means us harm,” Richard Nohr testified Wednesday in the misdemeanor criminal trial of Julia Di Sieno, 57, who operates Animal Rescue Team.'

another take:

if I was a coyote and I saw Julia walking towards me, I'd run the other way but quick!!

Tin Man

Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man, that he didn't already have

so I see on the front page of the News-Press Mike Stoker was appointed to head the EPA's Region 9 which includes California..

you know what that's like?

• it's like letting the wolf  babysit Little Red Ridinghood 
• it's like getting the fox to watch the Channel Islands
• it's like getting Wendy to head the union
• like getting a monkey to watch the weasel
• like getting a weasel to chase a monkey

well I guess the environmentalists got what they deserved...an oil company stooge who can rationalize pollution

and now maybe the enviro-whackos will stop trying to save every last native plant by killing every last non-native plant

all in all, I think Mike Stoker might be an excellent choice!

Magic Carpet Ride

why don't you come with me little girl...

look, California is doing just fine despite what the conservatives say..just bumped up to the world's fifth largest economy and we have a surplus but all I hear from the conservatives is too many Mexicans and homeless...

well ag is big money driver and the immigrants helped by picking the crops..Trump thinks they are "animals" but he is an idiot

and the homeless sitch was ignored under conservative Gov Pete Wilson who shut down Camarillo State Mental Hospital....lots of those folks on the street should be there and similar facilities..and some conservatives belong there too!!

I was in Santa Barbara yesterday..saw a few homeless, some Hitler youth tourists and it was a beautiful day to boot

I guess it all depends on how you look at things

You Are the Sunshine of My Life

that's why I'll always be around...

the AMGEN Tour will roll thru Carp on Monday and I see bikes everywhere..moms on bikes dutifully watching their kids..I love seeing that

but you remember Dr. Laura,  don't you? I haven't seen her in awhile and forbade her to come into Carp and preach her right-wing morality war propaganda..I forbade that

I'm sorry to say that Dr. Laura has turned into a sad little old lady who visits the zoo with her keepers so's she can talk to the monkeys and giraffes

Happy Mother's Day!!

Brown Eyed Handsome Man

Way back in history 3000 years
Back ever since the world begin
There's been a whole lotta good women shed a tear
For a brown eyed handsome man

I'm by a dry creek bed leaning on my truck looking for..whoa...a big bird rises up out of the creek bed with a loud swoosh and lands in a tree close by...we stare at each other until we're comfy with each other...a great turkey vulture..a very handsome fella!

but I knew he was feeding on something so I peered into the little creek and saw a rib cage, then the head of a deer...awesome!! maybe a coyote or mountain lion got him..or Ted Nugent meybe! I reached down into that there crik and with my David Bowie knife cut me off a big venison steak

I talked to the vulture for awhile then left him to do what he does best..

clean up after others

In The Making

"Be mad at me later. Fuck me now." He didn't let me reply, just swept me off my feet and carried me across the space.

My legs hung off the side and my heels dropped to the floor, discarded like my clutch and his keys before them. Cool air skated over my breasts. I'd forgone a bra since I knew Ilyan liked that, so there was nothing to shield my breasts when he jerked the dress down to my waist. The straps captured my arms at my sides. His narrowed gaze devoured my body, touching me with dark intent. I shivered and strained toward him, except he kept me where I was. I loved and hated his strength, how he could control me, throw me around at will.

Right now it was fucking hot.

He pushed me down onto the table and held me there with one hand on my stomach and stripped my dress off me, leaving me in just panties. This uninhibited style of sex was new to me, and I was quickly growing addicted. I'd never known the rough abandon or carnal intent Ilyan showed me. My stomach fluttered as he grasped my panties and pulled them...

Paradise City

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

GRAB OUR PUSSIES, NOT OUR GUNS!

so I see the NRA has announced Ollie North as its new president...I thought Wayne La Pierre was president but he's VP and CEO...so Ollie North did the Iran Contra affair with Reagan... guns for hostages deal and Trump just pulled out of the IRAN nuke deal after watching Netanyahoo give a cheezy back room demo of how Iran lied about everything...this from the biggest terrorist in the region, Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu, the Hebrew SOB!

good ol' Ollie

but don't worry..we'll be back in the Iran deal next presidential election...Trump will be out swinging his fat ass at a golf ball and a new president will TCB

as far as the NRA is concerned, the new campaign features some chicks and some guns and a catchy new motto

GRAB OUR PUSSIES, NOT OUR GUNS!!

Suavecito

mi Linda

as my pal Linda Ronstadt once said "learn the language of the borders" which would be French and Spanish...

otherwise you get a bunch of racist morons running around wearing MAGA caps...muy loco!!

Feliz Cinco de Mayo!

Jet Set

get your feet wet, run with the jet set

• when I hear the NRA tell me it is there to protect Americans from "European-style socialism" I feel warm and fuzzy and safe 💥 🔫

• when I hear the NRA say they will protect the citizens against a tyrannical gov't that wants to ban guns, I say "yeah"!! 💥 🔫

• when I hear the NRA say gun-free zones are dangerous and only invite crime, I gaze at my Colt Buntline and say to myself, "ain't no gun-free zone right cheer" 💥 🔫

when I heard NRA spokesgal Dana Loesch say that she also uses her AR-15 as a dildo, I giggled

when I see  a grinning NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre standing next to Dana , I know what's going on..he knows he can't have sex with her, so he wears DEPENDS adult diapers so he can pee in front of her and she won't even know it!!

but when I heard from the NRA that no guns will be allowed at their leadership convention, I wondered what's up with that???

the excuse the NRA uses for a gun-free zone at their own event is the Secret Service ordered it to protect Trump and Pence...both will speak there and both have claimed that gun-free zones are dangerous and an invitation for criminals to shoot the place up!!

so when a tyrannical gov't forces the NRA to ban guns at its own convention, the NRA just rolls over like a little puppy dog and waits for someone to scratch their belly!!

I think the NRA is full of a bunch of mushy-brained adults
