Season of the Witch

when I look out my window, so many sights to see

It's a cold morning with a hot cup of coffee as I prepare for Hallowe'en...

and I know a couple of chicks who could use a new broomstick

Space Cowboy

I'm a Space Cowboy, bet you weren't ready for that

Was I the only one who saw the rocket during Sunday's sunset? I couldn't find any info on any launch anywhere, but it was awesome

The News-Press has released Wendy's election endorsements and WHOOPEE! it's all the usual suspects...I'm shocked!

but we do need to get rid of a few Democrats...Gregg "Smiley" Hart is destroying my highway neighborhood along with Das Williams so both these stoner clowns gotta go...

bike path construction!!

and I'm  watching them over-build the insane bikepath from Santa Claus Lane to the Carp Ave exit and they got more heavy equip than they used to over-build the highway!! and they've enclosed an area with barbed-wire fencing right next to the Salt Marsh and major bird and wildlife corridor...barbed-wire is for maiming, hurting or killing living things...CALTRANS are dumbasses

Bike Path Update

Living by the highway, I see a lot of things nobody else can see..and I saw CALTRANS/GRANITE pour a portion of the new Santa Clause Lane bike path last week-looka like an 8 million dollar sidewalk-but then today, I saw them dig it all up...now why would they do that?? I am furious!!!

new portion poured last week

and dug up today!!!

and lastly, cats do not kill large numbers of birds because cats can't fly...more myths from the nativists...

there's plenty of birds out there and I like me some chicken now and then..

The Haunted Palace

And all with pearl and ruby glowing

Was the fair palace door,

Through which came flowing, flowing, flowing

And sparkling evermore

it's October and I'm thinking about Bellosguardo, the Clark Estate, the Mansion on the Hill, so much so that I had a dream about it last night, enhanced by some tart, red wine from Argentina

I was in Santa Barbara and pulled over to park by the legendary East Beach before the City switched to the hideous angled parking scheme where you have to back in and before they gave Cabrillo Blvd to the bicyclists by reducing it to one lane...total vibe kill

but in my dream I saw a big white frog on a fence by the Bird Refuge, which was full of clean fresh water, so I crossed the street with some opposition as Jupiter opposes the moon sometimes..a big truck kept getting in my way

but I made it and there was an old blind dog walking around, and kids everywhere and a tree, a small, beautiful tree with birds on the branches and a pretty, lithesome young girl in a white flowery dress, tending to the leaves and things...I pointed my camera at the tree and she stepped out of the way, I told her I wanted her in the picture, but she just smiled and walked away, then disappeared...

I believe she was the ghost of Huguette Clark and when I woke up, I felt no pain

One Toke Over the Line

sweet Jesus...

These pot farmers in Carp are so full of shit that it blows my fucking mind...first of all, is that Kourtney and Travis groovin' up the highway in a 50s Porsche Roadster? I drove one of these once and I was flying, man...flying!

but back to the issue...I got a letter in the mail from a pot farmer about a County inspection of Farmlane on Cravens Lane...if I want to attend, I need to provide Farmlane with a photo ID for "security purposes" ...they say smoking marijuana makes you mellow but in fact it makes you paranoid...photo ID, my ass

These pot farms are rife with security dogs and cameras so why would they need my ID? because they are full of themselves, that's why

and the website says it wants to "strengthen communities" which is why the county performs compliance inspections, I guess

look, these people are drug dealers and nothing more and thanks to stupid decisions by voters and elected officials, responsible citizens like me have to deal with the stoners...I see them walking down the street toking on a joint or a pipe...some of them come from Casa De Las Flores, the Peoples Self-Help Housing project which really looks like a halfway house...

and we got a pot dispensary looming on Santa Claus Lane...

let me tell you something...that ain't gonna happen

Oscar Mayer Weiner

Oh, I'd love to be an Oscar Mayer wiener 

That is what I'd truly like to be

'Cause if I were an Oscar Mayer wiener

Everyone would be in love with me...

this is the silliest thing I've ever seen going up the highway..

wait, are these the new CALTRANS vehicles???

Think

Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!

I saw Aretha do that song live roundabout 2017...believe me, I had no intention of missing Aretha Franklin at the Santa Barbara Bowl knowing the chance would never come again...the Queen of Soul, indeed!

now I hear the FBI kept a file on Aretha back in the civil rights era and J. Edgar Hoover days and we know that J. Edgar was a total trans! but supposedly Aretha was a threat to the whites, mostly the racist Birchers...if you talk about this stuff in school today, the nervous Birchers will scream WOKE and CRT but I don't know why these folks are afraid of theories, esp when they got conspiracy theories streaming out of their ears everday!

anyway Aretha performed for the civil rights movement and that's one reason why I loved her and J. Edgar Hoover faded into oblivion and was buried in pretty pink panties!

I got no problem with the FBI going after traitors, secessionists, insurrectionists or the Boy Scouts, but they shoulda left Aretha alone!

some people want to whitewash local education and there's that Christy nut trying to vote herself onto the Goleta Board of Education in November...recall she failed in her crazy bid for Superintendent of Schools...she even appeared on FOX News yapping about Wokeness...VOTERS NEED TO SHOW HER THE DOOR!!! she's bad news!

education is not that hard to figure out: teach the basics early, then expand as students grow up...always a good idea to learn the language of the borders and I'm not talking about Cajun and ebonics..I'm talking about French and Spanish, although technically Spain is nowhere near the US border...

My SB Junior High yearbook is filled with many cultures but still Americans...my friends were Asian, black, white, Latinos, surfers and greasers...and I had the hots for a German chick!

and Aretha was on the radio...

the sweetness of youth

End of the Innocence

who knows how long this will last...

"I don't wanna...marijuana"

so I see the county planners approved a cannabis store on SCL..who are these dumb fucks? never heard of them, probably all in the pocket of the pot farmers...but a dispensary will attract the drug low-life and that is not good for the folks trying to enjoy a day at the beach and not good for the businesses or neighbors..

this will be kicked up to the supervisors and Das Williams and they should know, intuitively, that drug dealers do not belong on Santa Claus Lane...

is this the end

of the innocence?
