Once In A Lifetime

Same as it ever was, same as it ever was, same as it ever was, same as it ever was Same as it ever was, same as it ever was, same as it ever was, same as it ever was Water dissolving and water removing There is water at the bottom of the ocean

so there's this ad about the Montecito Water Security Team, a slate of candidates running for seats on the Montecito Sanitary and Water districts...

APPALLING!!

I read the ad then I watched the short video and this lady who is running for a seat on the water board, Cori Hayman says when she learned that they were dumping 500000 gallons of wastewater on Butterfly Beach, she was "appalled"...

https://www.montecitowatersecurity.com/

let's stop there..look, ignorance will only get you so far and to claim such a preposterous thing is ignorant...there is no stigma if you know your shit and this is what happens when we treat waste: you flush the toilet and the water carries your DNA down the sewer pipes to the treatment plants unless you live in Mexico, then you just piss in the river...don't let that caravan in!! 

without treatment plants like the Montecito Sanitary District then the ocean really would be polluted...they are the last line of defense!! make sure they are funded with professional well-paid staff 

Butterfly beach should not allow dogs AT ALL..and the treatment plant does not "dump wastewater" there..it discharges fully treated effluent which meets all water quality requirements from the state of California...it's been happening for years and to be appalled now is just plain ditzy..you don't want this chick on the water board.. say no way to Cori Hayman...she does not understand basic biology...as a matter of fact, none of the folks on the Montecito Water Security Team seems to know anything about water! maybe they could join Nipper as professional water tasters!!

and they say they want to recycle water for irrigation...the Montecito plant treats 500000-600000 gallons of wastewater/day so how much do they want to reclaim? 100000 gallons? enough to water Oprah's garden for a month..sounds kinda silly

and I wonder if these folks have heard of the Water Cycle-Nature's recycling system....in a drought, it's best to use less water which means lots of Montecito mansions will need to STOP WASTING WATER!!!!

be careful who you vote for!!

The Wolf Man

Even a man who is pure in heart
And says his prayers by night
May become a wolf when the wolfs bane blooms
And the autumn moon is bright

well I went into Santa Barbara's Arlington district to check out the trees..or late trees across for the Trinity Church...I thought I might be mad about it but it really doesn't  look bad..nice court yard and now a nice mountain view

I was reading Noozwhack because I can't  seem to find  a News-Press anywhere anymore and they had this lady going on and on about how Halloween is bad for pets: "If you can put your pet in a quiet area of your house away from Halloween activities or parties, you will help them have a happy Halloween. (pets don't have happy Halloweens) Then your pets will not become panicked or run out the front door (like dummies) when trick-or-treaters arrive. 

This will also prevent your dog from possibly becoming threatened or aggressive at the unusual sight of children in costumes. Dogs and cats do not understand (pets understand one thing: where the food is coming from) that these are just masks, and may find trick-or-treaters very intimidating.

this is absurd..first off, dogs and cats are not "intimidated"...that's a verb reserved for what people might do to other people to get them to submit

lots of these Wendy-type animal ladies are nuts and attribute human traits to dogs...ie anthropomorphic fallacy you learned about in psychology class (also called "pathetic fallacy!)

I guarantee if your dog has any wolf in him, he'll look forward, with great anticipation, to the trick-or-treaters and the full autumn moon

Move It On Over

move over little dog, a big dog is movin' in

so MacKensie Park in Santa Barbara will be an off-leash dog park..they say city will spend almost a million dollars for fences to segregate big dogs from small dogs and there the dogs can run around...I think this is insane..if you need an off-leash park then there are too many dogs..and I've  seen the little tricks people play..they leave the green dog waste bag on the ground for someone else to pick up...dog crap is a bio-hazard, parasites can linger in the grass for years, very dangerous to kids

The U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirms dog waste can spread parasites including hookworms, ringworms, tapeworms, Salmonella and several other dangerous viruses and bacteria. When infected dog poop comes into contact with your lawn, the poop will eventually “disappear”, but the parasite eggs can linger for years. When humans or animals come into contact with that soil through everyday activities like walking barefoot, playing or gardening, they risk infection from those eggs — even years after the poop is gone. Parents, think of your little ones playing in the yard!

and dogs are stupid-what other pet needs a leash??

there's lots of worthwhile causes in town and a dog park is not one of them...back east, many beaches don't allow dogs on the beach and that is an excellent idea..the beaches are pristine....

this is a bigger problem than I realized as I gaze out my window, I see chicks walking dogs..I go to the beach I see chicks walking dogs..this is a psychological issue..incessant neediness..dogs, like women, should know their place

I saw a chick from Tulare in town...she had a dog...we had a thing years ago

I'll crawl back to her on my knees pretty soon i'll be scratching fleas So slide it on over (move it on over) Sneak it on over (move it on over) Move over good dog cause a bad dog's moving in

Catch Us If You Can

here they come again, catch us if you can

Santa Barbara is a bad place to be an alcoholic..beer, wine, booze, wicksky and all kinds of spirits to keep you plastered and detached from reality....cocktails, bartenders and all that mix into alot of drunk drivers....I got no issue with boozers until they get drunk and drive then they endanger me...the cops for the most part do an excellent job of catching these wretches before they kill, but they can't catch them all

how sad that a former Lieutenant of the SB Police Dept was involved in a DUI and sentenced to 15 days in the slammer

WEB: A retired Santa Barbara Police Lieutenant is due in court this month to face hit-and-run charges in connection with an incident that occurred last year. According to Santa Barbara’s Noozhawk, Retired Lieutenant Paul McCaffrey is due in court on January 26, 2017 to face charges associated with his July 28, 2016 arrest. Initially, he was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence (DUI).

Although very few details were released, we do know he is facing charges including hit-and-run causing property damage and resisting, obstructing or delaying a law enforcement officer. The initial wreck occurred on the 1200 block of Santa Barbara Street, about a block away from police headquarters. Thankfully, nobody was injured in the incident.

seemed like a good guy when I saw him on TV and at least he didn't run to the News-Press and do a five part series on fictional police brutality like ol' Peter Lance did...I got some news on those boys, Lance and his clowns..I'll show it to you...later

but remember this: you will never find a solution at the bottom of a bottle

Sexie Sadie

what have  you done? you made a fool of everyone

so 17 of the 19  9/11 terrorists were from Saudi Arabia....Bin Laden was a rich Saudi... Saudi Arabia controls oil and there's lots of sand everywhere

and this new guy : Saudi Arabia’s crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman looks like a Bin Laden type terrorista, too! but build that wall Trump!!!

Saudi men are cuckoo and won't let women do much: 'The deeply conservative kingdom is one of the most gender-segregated countries in the world, where women live under the supervision of a male guardian, cannot drive, and must wear head-to-toe black garments in public.'

yet, conservatives in America love the Saudis because we like to keep uppity white women in their place, too...

WTF????

George Bush was seen holding hands with a Saudi Prince even though the Saudis attacked us....for some reason, Bush launched an attack on Iraq instead of Saudi Arabia which is why our troops are doomed to the desert forever..expensive mistake

so  a Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi  is missing ..a reporter critical of the Saudi regime...he entered the Saudi consulate and never came out...did the Saudis kill him at the order of the Prince? of course as Saudi Arabia is the largest sponsor of terrorism, larger than Israel and larger than Iran and even larger than the good ol' USA!

will we ever elect a president who won't play kissie-poo with these cold-blooded Saudi killers??

probably not

Dog and Butterfly

up in the air he likes to fly

the Nature Conservancy and National Parks Service killed and/or harassed thousands of animals on the Channel Islands to save the fox..the Channel Island fox they call it....they celebrate and say that due to their efforts the fox is no longer endangered..they pat themselves on the back, the hitchless hounds

I've covered this issue before and am disgusted with these people..the whole debacle was a scam and a sham but the public just buried their heads in the sand and let it happen...

bionativism is a disease of the head...Hitler was a nativist

the Sierra Club used to be a respected environmental enterprise that produced a nice magazine and a newsletter, the Condor Call...I picked up a new version of the Condor Call in Santa Barbara and the Sierra Club has been overtaken by the enviro-zombies..just shills for the Parks Service and Nature Conservancy and the latest example is another propaganda piece-the success story about saving the fox

Channel Island Pigs were cool!

what these people won't tell you and never will is the fox is just a relative of the gray fox and the distinction is the Channel Island fox is heavily inbred...that's right, the Channel Islands are now overrun with a bunch of retarded little foxes...if we still had the Channel Island pigs we'd have a healthy population governed by golden eagles instead of college hippie biologists with distemper shots awaiting the foxes every three months

"inbred populations also often share mutations that are bad for health, shortening life spans or reducing the number of offspring. Dr. Wayne and his colleagues found that island foxes have many more harmful mutations than gray foxes on the mainland."

“They’re like dodos,” Dr. Wayne said in an interview. “They have no notion of human fear. You can just put them in your lap.”

Some scientists suspect that island foxes are fearless because of a long relationship with humans. Native Americans first settled the islands about 13,000 years ago, and they may have brought along gray foxes from the mainland. Previous studies indicate that island foxes share an ancestor with gray foxes that lived 9,200 years ago.

the point is the Channel  Island fox is not a viable species...

it's a dodohead

Honey Pie

She was a working girl

went into Santa Barbara, the new Lagoon District for a smog inspection..SMOG  IT..took 10 minutes..clean and efficient shop!

then to Tri-County Produce and on the way see some working girls, city living, lots of new metal buildings that house beer and wine related stuff

you know, this is a cool area of town..some changes are happening but they are not overwhelming so the folks who live around here should embrace the district..the new Lagoon District..certainly can't hurt anything..the new businesses are not trying to drive out the older businesses, but rather incorporate..fit in...

I like it!

and the hookers are always a nice touch

Jet Airliner

I don't want to get caught up in any of that, funky shit goin' down in the city

girls are in the news, but first guys...you wanna know how to grab pussies, sexually assault pussies and pounce on pussies without getting everyone's panties in a bunch? get a squishy portable squishy pussy from a catalog and you'll never have to worry about going to jail!

ok, so Trump has a knack for promoting people to their highest level of incompetence known as the Peter Principle and that's why he has such a high turnover rate in his administration

Nikki Haley, the former Governor of South Carolina is no exception..she resigned from her post as US Ambassador to the United Nations..a post for which she had no qualifications other than she's pretty..pretty pussy

#FUCKMETOOO!

as far as Brett goes...what you did at 15 years old should have no bearing on the present, still it seems Brett is a spoiled frat boy at heart

but Nikki was just a gal Friday for Trump and the real reason she resigned is the plane controversy..a report that surfaced a few days ago about her sugar daddies in South Carolina providing her private jets-

Haley in particular “should have been conscious of the appearance concerns surrounding her acceptance of gifts of private luxury air travel at a time when her colleagues in the administration were making news with their own lavish air travel,” the complaint from the group noted.
Trump has already lost one of his cabinet members – former Health and Human Services (HHS) secretary Tom Price – to a scandal involving improper use of private jets and military aircraft.  Several other Trump appointees have also been criticized for their travel practices.

“By accepting gifts of luxury private flights, Ambassador Haley seems to be falling in line with other Trump administration officials who are reaping personal benefits from their public positions,” CREW executive director Noah Bookbinder said in a statement. “Our ethics laws are clearly written to prevent even the appearance of corruption and improper influence. We’re calling on the State Department’s inspector general to further investigate the nature of these gifts, determine whether they are in line with ethics rules, and ensure that employees like Ambassador Haley are fully trained on the application and importance of ethical standards.”

no ethics??? 

no problem

Rocket Man

burnin' out his fuse up here alone

while Trump may insist that fat little Korean dude with the bad haircut is Rocket Man, the real Rocket ManX is Tesla clown, Elon Musk...both dudes are crazy but Musk really put on a show last night with the SpaceX rocket launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base....

I was sitting outside enjoying the Draconid meteors...supposed to peak on Monday night but really cool since Friday...then I see this big flash of light in the west and see the rocket headed over the ocean with some stardust trailing behind...damn tree blocked some of the view

looked like a comet and I remember watching Hale-Bopp in amazement back in the 1990s...

this was really beautiful and nobody committed mass suicide!

Good Vibrations

I'm picking up good vibrations...

now I love the Avocado Fest in Carpinteria...and so does everyone else! lots of folks took in the good vibes..how can you miss..the October weather is splendid and food is great..the girls are outtasight...

I always snag some local avocados and delicious limes...some people say the avocado is a fruit but it's not, it's an avocado..a lime is a fruit but who's counting!!

SLy's restaurant is gone and Sly and Nipper were pals but I didn't see a trace of Nipper THANK GOD!!! oh no, Nipper was 'celebrity judge' for the guacamole contest...bad vibrations!!

but THANK GOD for legitimate agriculture like avocados and limes and the flower growers who didn't sell out to the cannabis clowns!

Buy For Me The Rain

I cannot buy you happiness, I cannot by you years;
I cannot buy you happiness, in place of all the tears.
But I can buy for you a gravestone, to lay behind your head.
Gravestones cheer the living, dear, they're no use to the dead.

I do not know what has become of the Santa Barbara City Council..they won't water the lawn at De La Guerra Plaza..pair that with the ratty looking News-Press building and it looks like Tijuana down there!

ok we're in a drought so ship some water in or use desal or reclaimed..you can't always wait for rain.... you can rent the rain but you cannot buy the rain

and this cat Jason Dominguez acts like a two-year old throwing temper tantrums all the time...it appears the mayor wanted the council to gather at the the airport to learn team building skills and Jason boycotted the party...it's like Charlie Brown and Lucy with these two!! build that team, mayor!!

and straws!! why is the city wasting time trying to ban straws?? everybody likes straws!! and how would you enforce such a ban? use the police? have a "straw abuse hotline"?

and pop up shops are all the rage to get State St moving again...not gonna work..there's only one pop up that ever worked and that was the YES Store...every holiday season you could go down and buy some neat hippie stuff for your loved ones..it had a good vibe and you didn't need to get high or drunk to go there

the YES store...those days are gone forever I'm afraid but you can wait in line for days for a new Iphone from Apple!!

things are getting spooky at City Hall
