In The Air

I can feel it coming in the air tonight...oh Lord

while I may  think cannabis is the devil's own stash, I don't mind hemp which can be used for all sorts of useful things other than blowing my mind..look, my mind is already blown...long gone..maybe it'll come back in the air tonight but I doubt it.. 

anyway, drugs didn't blow my mind

that oriental chick blew my mind

A Life of Illusion

Sometimes I can't help the feeling that I'm / Living a life of illusion

"flowers" my ass!

I was talking to a chick from Santa Barbara and she says the town smells like hops because of all the craft beer breweries..I says Carpinteria smells like cannabis due to the pot farms...

Carpinteria now has a cannabis council with some growers from Colorado, some from Carp-the big dumb Dutch hillbilly farmers who switched from flowers to drugs-they say once pot is normalized people will accept it...

smoking pot is not normal so it will never be normalized but now we have these new pot farmers trying to romanticize marijuana with propaganda....the potheads are trying to tell me smoking weed makes everything all better..well,  the last thing I need is to live a life of illusion

the silliest thing is this site called Kop Sun..supposedly, the pot grown in Carp is the cleanest, most wonderful thing in the world...you can relax on our beaches and smoke a joint..actually you can't because Carpinteria is No Smoking city and that includes pot smoking...

and this: Beautiful Elegant Loving Cannabis- Giving thanks for all the Blessings she brings.

WTF??? can you believe this shit?? these people are worse than the NRA!!! these morons are drug dealers not some Fairy Princess sprinkling magic dust on us Carpinterians...

Trump wants to add a sixth  branch to the Armed Forces called the Space Force...

well, he need only look to Carpinteria for recruits

You Can't Always Get What You Want

but if you try sometimes, you might find you get what you need

now I've been hearing stories that Haley St in Santa Barbara used to be a place where hookers and trannies hung out among the Mexican grocery stores and fast lube joints...you could get what you need for as low as 20 bucks..in the car in the alley!! back in the 1970s and 1980s I guess...

is this true? I've been here awhile and I've been through many a bar...the Feed Store in SB, Rocky Galentis in the Californian Hotel, the Chanticleer and Olive Mill Bistro in Montecito, the disco joints...you could get laid easy although you had to work a little harder in Montecito to convince the girls...

at two o'clock in the morning if you found yourself on lower State St looking for a sandwich from a liquor store, you might get propositioned by a hooker but you needed to be careful because she could have been a he and back then there were some gay bars with all sorts of colorful characters coming and going..

but Haley I don't think was as bad as the legend allows....granted, it wasn't Rodeo Drive but that's not a bad thing..Haley has always been a working class area and I always felt kinda safe there...

today, the business people are trying to revitalize State St and come up with a marketing plan ..the City even hired a consultant!! 

but they need to get back to the basics..not eveyone wants to go taste beer and wine and find out if this wine pairs well with this cheese..and not everyone needs to have their dog at their side 24/7....ie, stop catering to trendy zombies

remember, Santa Barbara is a beach community...can I walk up State St and find a friendly, simple place to have a good steak? or some fish and chips..

or are they gonna just line State St with cannabis shops, craft breweries and wine tasting rooms???

you make me feel, you make me feel

Aretha Franklin is gone...I've been a fan since the 1960s and was thrilled beyond words to see her at the Santa Barbara Bowl in 2015... 

I took pictures and got a few shaky videos but gives you an idea of the excitement that night...

one of the greatest nights ever!

FLASHBACK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9nSU2hAqK4

From Here to Eternity

I wish I didn't love ya; maybe I can enjoy life again.

it's hard to figure out stuff in today's world..transgender governors, cannabis farms, climate change, emotional support animals

and  take for example Frank Hotchkiss, ex SB City Council guy who lost his last shot as mayor and fled to Savannah, Georgia to become a riverboat cap't...but I read in Noozhack that Frank sold his SB home to Marymount, the religious compound by the Mission..Marymount paid around $1.5 mill and will use it to provide housing for the new headmaster

let's see, it's costs $22000/year tuition and Rob Lowe's kids went there which is reason enough for me to be suspicious..Marymount has always been a mystery..is it a religious school or not..I've seen nuns up there..uh, not up there but up there

the web says: Marymount of Santa Barbara is a coeducational private Catholic traditional school for students in grades Pre-K through 8

and I keep hearing about the Catholic church protecting pedophile priests, the latest in Pennsylvania...when VP and devout Christian Mike Pence was governor of Indiana, he apparently looked the other way while catholic priests were molesting kids in Pennsylvania

the main reason Catholics are against abortion is it cuts down the supply of children for the priests to abuse...what a bunch of sick fucks.. DEATH TO  CHILD ABUSERS..goddamn cowards!!!

I gotta head to the beach to clear my head

Sunspot Baby

I'm gonna catch up sometime...

the question is how many sharks would it take to shut down the beach? the other question is how many snowy plovers does it take to shut down the beach....the plovers have once again shut down Surf Beach in Lompoc at the AFB...this simply proves that the plover is the most feared animal in the world!!

so Saturday I waited for the partial solar eclipse...stared at the sun til I saw spots but no eclipse...

Sunday I wait for nobody and just took off..drivers are erratic today..some call them 'Sunday Drivers' but I call them stoners

I get to where the water tastes like wine and an awesome western tiger swallowtail comes right at me as he's just about to  eclipse the sun...

I point the camera in a defensive mode and get a picture...

that was like totally metaphysical!

Money

it's a hit
Don't give me that
Do good bullshit

kommrrrades..if you love Amerrrica and sekond amendment, send money to NRA..ve arrre rrrunning out of rubles.. Arrrrghh!
