Living easy, living free / Season ticket on a one way ride
is it just me or are there more and more deadly accidents on Highway 154, aka San Marcos Pass aka the Chumash Highway of Death...
mostly related to drunk driving....as I've tried to warn you over the years, drinking and driving are not a good combo..oh you may sneak by a few STOP signs but the odds are in the favor of the booze killing you or someone..or some innocent soul like me
some people would rather be drunk than alive, I guess
and don't text and drive, unless you're pretty...
then it's ok
So now I gotta cut loose
Footloose
Kick off the Sunday shoes
Please, Louise
Pull me off of my knees
why is it that nonprofits can't manage their money? it seems that they close down due to money issues or worse, malfeasance...
two nonprofits were in the news recently..Wounded Warrior Project and The Unity Shoppe...Wounded Warrior had issues with the former CEO using money for parties and hotels while their ads ran on FOX NEWS with Trace Adkins pleading for money for the veterans of the surplus desert wars...then people got hip to the scam so a new Wounded Warrior Project was started.. I don't trust it any more than I did the first one
and the Unity Shoppe had to close for a few months as the money ran out...years ago when Kenny Loggins started it, it may have been useful..but when they brought in Nipper for the telethons, the Unity Shoppe lost credibility..then they bought some property for millions in Santa Barbara so you can imagine the mortgage on that..
but there is a pro-pot article in the News-Press that might explain..a new cannabis shop called Coastal opening in Santa Barbara and their vision to change the world..they mention Kenny Loggins who has become a stoner
"While offering a wide variety of cannabis products, perhaps the most unique aspect of Coastal is the company's desire to give back locally
As part of employment, all team members participate in the "Coastal Cares" program. Each quarter, staff participates in eight hours of community service projects and will be compensated as though they worked a normal day.
In addition, Coastal will support the teams' efforts through monetary donations and donate 2 percent of net profits back into the community. Coastal has partnered with People Assisting the Homeless, also known as PATH, as well as Unity Shoppe. Longtime resident and music star Kenny Loggins has been tapped as the company's community engagement ambassador"
the Chumash take a gambler's money and give back to the community for PR purposes..and now the stoners will "give back to the community"
when you see those words, 🚩red flags🚩should go up because they are trying to normalize drug use and that's a poor message to send to the kids..
adults need to be better role models
not better pot heads
tell me, where do the children play??
how are children supposed to be educated with morons running the Carp Unified School District ...healthy minds and bodies not drug addicts
Mission Statement... edited
The Carpinteria Unified School District, in partnership with the community and parents and drug dealers, believes that all students can learn and are capable of being successful in our diverse society. We are committed to providing a quality educational program in a caring, positive environment which promotes self-esteem and mutual respect and cannabis use.
This will provide our students the necessary skills to get high and be irresponsible citizens, to lead to happy, productive lives and to meet the exciting challenges of the 21st century, and getting good jobs like working on a pot farm.
from the web, with edits: The Cannabis Association for Responsible Producers, also known as CARP Growers, (also known as drug dealers posing as farmers) pledged $189,000 in $63,000 annual installments over three years to the Carpinteria Unified School District to fund the middle school counselor position.
In a unique twist, the school district will use the funds (for vaping vending machines) and to hire the Carpinteria Middle School counselor through the Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse, a nonprofit that specializes in providing substances abuse, prevention, intervention and treatment programs in Santa Barbara County. [Coastal View] What next, the Chumash setting up a gambling addiction counseling center at the casino?
In addition to frustration over a marijuana growers association funding a school counseling position, parents have also expressed outrage over a decision by Carpinteria school district administrators, including the superintendent and middle school principal, to tour a local pot cultivation site and pose for a photo. (The same pot farm that followed me and harassed me for taking a picture of their facility)
the District administrators posed for the photo inside a Glasshouse Farms greenhouse while wearing the formal visitors apparel belonging to the marijuana business.
The (fat, stupid looking) administrators who posed for the photo were: Jamie Persoon, principal of Canalino Elementary; Diana Rigby, the district superintendent; Michelle Fox, principal of Aliso Elementary; Lisa O’Shea, principal of Carpinteria Middle; and Aaron LaPlante, the district technology director. In the photo, they are wearing Glasshouse Farms hats and visitors shirts.
here's the school board members who ok'd the drug money:

next time vote the bums out!!!!
if you should ever leave me, though life would still go on believe me, the world could show nothing to me, so what good would living do me
I'm singing Beach Boys and Zombies songs all day...California Girls, Tell Her No, Good Vibrations, God Only knows, She's Not There, Time of the Season
and for good reason.. Brian Wilson and the Zombies are playing at the Arlington as part of the Something Great from 68' tour they teamed up for
tickets in hand I headed out the door into the beautiful windy September evening, under the Harvest moon..
the Arlington was brimming with good vibes and nice chicks..and what a concert!!
the Zombies came on..they are legends from the British Invasion and I've always loved them... first song was 'Tell Her No' and that blew everyone away
four blonde chicks are sitting in front of me and one keeps flipping her head back..consequently, her hair lands on my knee..what am I supposed to do? Tell Her No?
Brian Wilson is a genius and I don't care how old he is..I saw him at the Lobero in 2008 and was awestruck...tonight he had Al Jardine and Blondie Chapman with him, plus his stellar band...and the songs...I get goosebumps just thinking about it..
Blondie Chaplin was a trip...dressed in yellow suit, red shirt and playing a black Strat..just ripped it...original singer on 'Sail On Sailor' and they did a rousing version
but when Al Jardine introduced Brian singing 'God Only Knows', I lost it
that was the best moment of music I've ever witnessed
the crowd stood and cheered for five minutes, wiping the tears away
To the sun I'll cry
And even if I'm blinded
I really felt like hanging out at the Santa Barbara Harbor today, esp after the dive boat Conception caught fire and sunk, killing 25 people on a pleasure cruise..the boat was only 20 yards off Santa Cruz island..unbelievable
but first I went through Cabrillo Blvd and WTF?? now it's only two lanes with grandiose bike lanes and angled, back-in only parking at East Beach...most of the parking spots were empty...crazy idea
after Randy Rowse leaves the city council, there will be no voice of reason..Cathy Murrillo is a horrible mayor and she and Jason Dominguez squabble like two retarded siblings....UGH!!!
they didn't even offer condolences to the divers or families!!
anyway, the tropical clouds were out on balmy day, the harbor was full of folks and good ocean vibes as we all mourned the boating tragedy....
people on their way to dive, no doubt having fun
I hope they had the time of their lives
