Pieces of April

I keep in a memory bouquet

it's cool and gray these last days of April but there's plenty of light if you know where to look..I went out to find the inner light and saw a lovely lady at the beach..what a mysterious and beautiful look she has...if you catch her when she's not posing, you get some real cool shots...striking!!

they say that nothing grows beneath a eucalyptus tree because the soil around the base is poisoned by the oils..nonsense... as you can see in the enchanting picture

I wait for the Spring to see the hooded orioles and the last few years they have been few and far between but this year I've seen four or five..love 'em!!!

harbingers?

or just colorful rascals

Jesus Christ..now I'm getting robocalls about lost dogs!! like I care

why is Santa Barbara treating everyone like children, shutting down thoroughfares so they can play in the streets..it's silly

next while I'm pushing the pedals on the courts online portals, I come across this
08/13/2019 8:30 AM 19CV01875 Fair Education Santa Barbara Inc * Anderle, Thomas P SB Dept 3 1) Case Management Conference Unlimited Civil Rights (08)

so we got the Fair Education folks doing another lawsuit against the SB Unified School dist for indoctrinating students into a communist, leftist lifestyle where white folks be the enemy...

"white people suck,  Beto"

recently the righwingers spoke at Wendy's Reagan Ranch Center warning about non-Christian Americans

"They are trying to share their values, their sinister un-American values with students and they think that everyone needs to be taught about the dangers of whiteness," Vadum said.

that's Matthew Vadum, kooky rightwing conspiracy guy..just google him as he once claimed poor people shouldn't be allowed to vote! 

so the Fair Education folks fall into line with this thinking  that if you teach anthropology or sociology, it's un-American...it's the stuff ol' Phyllis Schafly peddled: public schools are indoctrinating kids and turning them into leftist liberal robots like Nancy Pelosi...

Phyllis died of syphilis I hear

but since they lost the first lawsuit, Fair Education will try a local judge who I GUARANTEE will throw it out..more wasted money by rightwing nonprofits...so many of these rightwing nonprofits have poor ratings or are just scams, like Trump's were..set up to enrich his children!! he had to shut down the Donald Trump foundation charity because it was a scam

these righwingers are so screwed up mentally, they can't see what's right before them..an honest look at history will trace the roots of racism that remains to this day in many shadowy groups and  among ignorant white people

so here's some advice to Fair Education..stop the bullshit and stop wasting the court's time 

go for a walk on the beach or something

Everything Gets Better When You're Drunk

‘Trivago guy’ nabbed for drunk driving | Canoe

canoe.com/news/crime/trivago-guy-nabbed-for-drunk-driving

Sounds like he should have booked a room.Tim Williams, known as the “Trivago guy” for his appearance in U.S. ads for the Germany-based hotel-booking site, faces a drunk driving charge after Houston police found him asleep in his car in traffic this week.....

beer festivals are just so stupid and here's another one in Santa Barbara at the Carriage Museum...used to be you could go to a museum to learn about art or history...a nice place to let the imagination wander...but nowadays they've been taken over by alcoholics...beer, wine, tequila..you name it, they drink it
and with all the cars crashing today..everytime I check into Edhat or Noozhawk, there's a picture  of a crashed car upside down..usually DUI related

Power of Gold

are you under..the power of gold?????

so the Coastal View weekly freebie rag in Carpinteria  is pro booze  and pro pot..they sponsor the beer fest at the Carp State beach park...Surf and Suds in August for 4 hrs...I've watched the folks as they wobble around..half are alcoholics so having a festival for them is really really stupid..

Van Wingderden sold out

and we know the Coastal View is pro pot with all the stories they do on the cannabis growers (drug dealers)...pathetic...the fat chick Amy Orosco is part of a grow operation and she used to work at the Coastal View so she gets her weed biz promoted for free in the Coastal View

the publisher of the Coastal View is a tall guy who walks around town like a zombie...but in today's Carpinteria, the local business people are pushing drugs on young people...not directly but by trying to put pot in a good light..

oh, crime has gone down!!

a hallucinogenic drug should not be promoted as something good.... perhaps the Coastal View should changes its name to High Times

and the Carp City Council just sits there with their thumbs up their asses and lets the town turn into a drug haven..I've never seen so many methheads and potheads here!! 

I see them all the time at Casa De Los Flores, the non-profit Peoples Self Help Housing  project that I was forced to pay for with my taxes

but the cannabis industry needs to be regulated and citizen watchdog groups have every right to monitor the drug dealers/pot farmers/stoners in our neighborhoods....of course crime is up...drug related crime and even the pot farms are beefing up security

there's still many legit flower growers and farmers tending avocado trees, but many of the growers sold out to the drug dealers for one reason: money

and the road to Hell is paved with gold

Blue Car

I'm drivin' my blue car, baby

Sophia Loren

no Russian collusion? then why does Trump keep marrying Russian women? now Ruskie Melania with her icy affirmation wants us to "Be Best" but I prefer Sophia Loren's "Presto Presto  Be Your Very Besto, don't hang back like a shy little kid" from Houseboat with Cary Grant..obviously Melania is imitating Sophia but pales in comparison...

well,  gay people and adulterers will find themselves at the wrong end of a rock, for in Brunei, they will be stoned to death as the whacky leaders call for the imposition of literal version of Sharia law to please Allah...

and the USA being a Christian nation may soon follow suit: if a man is found lying with a married woman, then both of them shall die, the man who lay with the woman, and the woman; thus you shall purge the evil from Israel. "If there is a girl who is a virgin engaged to a man, and another man finds her in the city and lies with her, then you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city and you shall stone them to death; the girl, because she did not cry out in the city, and the man, because he has violated his neighbor's wife. Thus you shall purge the evil from among you.

and this: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, widely known as the Mormon church, is repealing a controversial policy that treated LGBTQ members as apostates and barred their kids from being baptized. 

The church’s First Presidency, its top governing body, announced Thursday that while it still considers same-sex marriage to be a “serious transgression,” queer church members in these relationships will not automatically be treated as apostates, or individuals who in the church’s eyes have turned away from the principles of the gospel.

the gospel according to who? or whom?

and we got another chick and her dog getting lost in the back country...had to be airlifted out! she should pay for it because this happens too frequently

the back country is rough, wild and beautiful..no place for domestic dogs..or silly girls

it's God's Country
