Free Ride

c'mon and take a free ride...

　
it's been awhile since I checked the court calendars because the SB Court system runs me in circles sometimes and I don't like to waste my time most of the time...

but I see tons of hearings coming up in small claims...some of the usual suspects..conservatives and realtors being sued for fraud; doctors for malpractice...damn some of the local realtors are such scumbags..liars and cheats and greedy to the max!! stay away from those big fat realtors!!

then Ty Warner is being sued for wrongful eviction..seems like this one has been going on forever...whatever happened to the concept of a speedy trial? I'm no fan of Ty's but let's get some closure here-for the children

then there's lots of marriage dissolutions with minor kids involved..gee that's too bad but you can always get married again!

couple of Firestones in the court sytem..not sure if it's Brooks' kin

hey there's ex Carp city councilman Joe's name again in court...Joe had a bizarre opinion in the Sunday News-Press telling everyone how smart he is..calls himself an "intellectual snob"...it was a weird autobiographical rant telling us what political genuis he is thanks to his mom and Phil Donohue...and he's still Executive Director of the de facto defuncto Santa Barbara Taxpayers
Association..nobody listens to them

but ironically, Joe keeps ringing up the taxpayer tab with all these court hearings because he's always in trouble with something or other...I think that's his kid following in dad's footsteps! the apple doesn't fall far from the tree...Joe and Andy...what jokers and parasites these guys are..and bad dads!! the most important job in the world is being a good dad, remember that boys

and speaking of trouble , I see that Ampersand Publishing has some civil issues up in crime-ridden Santa Maria..it's a jury trial scheduled for Feb 2016...hmmm wonder what that's about?

02/08/2016 9:30 AM 1483950 Ampersand Publishing, LLC Rigali, James F SM Dept 2 1) Jury Trial 23-PI/PD/WD Tort - Other - Civil

Ampersand in Santa Maria..a jury trial...hmmmm..is Wendy moonlighting?

Atlantis

Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be, I wanna see you some day, oh My antediluvian baby...

well I look out at the Channel Islands and see some weird stuff...mirages, miracles, mermaids but this thing baffles me..a floating city perhaps..it moves, it's huge then it's gone and I don't know WTF it is!

ummm... a barge??

'Til I Die

I'm a cork on the ocean Floating over the raging sea How deep is the ocean? How deep is the ocean? I lost my way Hey hey hey

 

now I don't hang out at the Douglas Family Preserve mainly due to the name attached and Mike's friendship with Wendy McCuckoo..too many strings attached..plus I hear it's turned into a big dog park which means the chances of me stepping in it are huge..

however, I'm sure I could enjoy it if I don't think about these tings until I die...

as far as these parks and preserves go, the less manipulation the better...I know Jill's got some fancy ideas up her sleeves...native soils and native this and native that..how can I tell her she's wasting her time? she's barking up the wrong tree?

still, I'd love to have sex with her somehow but I'm non-native so that will never happen..

ok, so leave the parks/preserves alone..if a tree falls, leave it...leave the trails alone..leave the flowers alone...it matters not one wit that a flower is native or non-native...all things have a life span, including flowers...they live they die and esp, if there's no rain they really die die die!!

even a casual hiker can see that nature provides survival of the fittest...fennel, castor, the eucalyptus trees are faring well during the drought..the native pines and oaks aren't doing so well...why? because I just told you why!

but being native means absolutely nothing..it's a scam concocted by control-freaks and phony horticulturists like the dummies at the new Botanical Beer Garden..and the chemical companies who just love to spray poison weed-killer everywhere like a weed is gonna hurt you...unmanicured vegetation and grasses give these areas the rural feel people crave



you know, as I watched that lone Bald Eagle fly over me a few weeks ago, over the Carp Salt Marsh on that cold and windy day, I felt he was telling me something..he was saying with his huge wings and glorious flight that the Channel Islands also need to be left alone...they cut down tons of eucalyptus trees, a favorite nesting/perch for Bald Eagles and now the eagles head to Lake Casistas to nest in the big eucs up there...if a eucalyptus is good enough for a bald eagle, it's good enough for me

Lake Casitas is a fantastic and beautiful place..great for people and wild creatures..

just keep Jill away until she comes to her senses

Power To The People

power to the people, right on!

ok so we got a crazed old white guy in Colorado killing people in Planned Parenthood, Colorado Springs...killed two civilians and one cop and injured nine...he finally surrendered...

 

 he must be a Christian extremist so what should we do as a country...bomb the Vatican??

no ...umm...well..ok, no

but there is no difference among religious fanatics...Christian or Islamic..same result..dead people

these Chistians in America are worrisome esp some of the nuts running for president...want to stop abortions? killing people in Planned Parenthood won't do it...the recent doctored vids against PP didn't help much ...alot of these guys think God's Law is the only law they will kill to enforce it, whatever they think it is...and this isn't the first attack on Planned Parenthood...

but God's Law is not applicable to US law..the laws Americans make don't have to pass nay religious test because there is no established religion per the Constitution...NO ESTABLISHED RELIGION...so you can practice any religion you want so long as it doesn't break the law...or interfere with my privacy rights

Roe vs Wade: A case in which the court held that a woman's right to an abortion fell within the right to privacy granted in the Fourteenth Amendment.

"We … acknowledge our awareness of the sensitive and emotional nature of the abortion controversy, of the vigorous opposing views, even among physicians, and of the deep and seemingly absolute convictions that the subject inspires." — Justice Blackmun (1973), majority opinion in Roe v. Wade

Jane Roe was an unmarried and pregnant Texas resident in 1970. Texas law made it a felony to abort a fetus unless "on medical advice for the purpose of saving the life of the mother." Roe filed suit against Wade, the district attorney of Dallas County, contesting the statue on the grounds that it violated the guarantee of personal liberty and the right to privacy implicitly guaranteed in the First, Fourth, Fifth, Ninth, and Fourteenth Amendments. In deciding for Roe, the Supreme Court invalidated any state laws that prohibited first trimester abortions

that's the law and gov't, rightwingers, Christians need to pay heed: don't stick your nose in a woman's business

esp important to keep religious wackos like Ted Cruz and Mike Huckabee out of the White House...

the Constitution is the law of the land..not the bible, not the Koran, not the WALMART ads in Black Friday's News-Press..

if you're an American, you should know this

Imagine

nothing to kill or die for, and no religion too

well that would be good..but as long as we have religions, organized to corral the most neurotic sheep among us, we will have killings to please God..any God that religions misinterpret..and preachers molesting children

 

I went to check out the King Tides and got a News-Press, which was overloaded with ads for Black Friday buying sprees...

then I get to Andy Caldwell's "Guest" rightwing Christian take on Thanksgiving...Andy, a wannabe preacher,  takes a babbling shot at John Lennon's "Imagine" as a faux-spirtitual favorite among progressives, atheists and secularists...ah yes Andy was probably one of the hillbilly sheeple who wanted to Burn The Beatles LPs in the 1960s after John's infamous Jesus/Beatles observation

 

well "Imagine" is a nice song and I'm sure some conservatives like it too..but Andy, being the best example of lunatic phony religious fanatics would gut the constitution and free speech..and free expression using the universal language: music

and the Paris killers hated music too...and if there were no religion (separate from spirituality) then we'd have more people seeking the truth, not more people trying to hide the truth from everybody...or killing in the name of religion

so no, today I bow my head to no one..except I will give thanks to the lady at Trader Joe's yesterday...tons of people at TJ's and ladies buying flowers...the gal behind me with a baby girl and a shopping cart asks me to watch her kid while she gets some more items.. I say sure- she will be protected..the kid is two years old or so with big wide-eyed wonder all over her cute face as she sat in the shopping cart...it was my duty to make sure nothing happened to her and for two or three minutes that's what I did...

for two minutes there was nothing and nobody in the world that was gonna hurt that baby girl because they'd have to pass through me first...now the folks at Trader Joe's were pretty mellow so I didn't expect anything bad...the mom returned and took charge of her kid..she's a pretty woman in her 30s or 40s

and she trusted me with her little daughter for a moment in time....I was proud and humbled..

imagine that

Funny Face

I love you, funny face I need you

I headed out to Best Buy in Goleta but overshot and ended up at the Butterfly Preserve...whoa my God it's beautiful out here...there's a golf course across the street with an ocean view and wide open spaces...but there's also tons of development...condos and townhomes..attractive no doubt and still you don't get that couped- up feeling...you feel like a free-range chicken out here

and the old train station is very cool!

but I did have trouble navigating Highway 101 by Fairview..the road is horribly bumpy and Caltrans has got everything torn up because that's what they do..they use tax money to tear the road up and then work on it for a few years then do it all over again in a few more years... Caltrans will never leave..ever

 so I get to Best Buy and purchase a Sony camera with a decent zoom ( if Bald Eagles are gonna be in my flight path, I need a better camera) and an extra computer...both dirt cheap...Dell computers suck and eMachines last about five years, then get all neurotic like a Chevy...

so I got an HP because of my feelings for Carly Fiorina...Funny Face, I love you!

the Sony camera is great but I didn't open it till I got home so I gotta head back out to the Butterfly Preserve..all those big green eucalyptus and monarchs and the nativists fretting about invasive eucs but there's nothing they can do about it..are they gonna suggest we clear cut the preserve because they don't like eucalyptus trees?? and now they are afraid of an invasiion of giant mosquitos!! in a drought!! mosquitos like water and all the creeks are dry

so I get home and fire up the HP and it's fab...I do some work transfering files and music then all of a sudden BAM the fuckin' power goes out...I look outside and see a bunch of Edison trucks going in circles but no power...I've heard of similar outrages in Santa Barbara...

what is goin' on with these private utility companies? it's not a stormy day so why was I without power for two hours? are these guys stoners?

it seems like every time I turn on a light, Southern California Edison extinguishes it

Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head

nothing's worrying me

now the only reason I watch FOX is the bimbos posing as reporters ...and FOX has lots of slutty bimbos..not as bad as the Bakersfield Bimbo Kevin McCarthy....ok so they're not really reporters..some are former beauty queens so how fitting that FOX News babe Gretchen Carlson dropped by the Reagan Ranch Center to give some pageant tips to the Young Miss American Foundation.. the YMAF is Wendy's non-profit as a matter of de facto...and of course Gretchen wrote a book she's promoting  (not a real book, a FOX  faux-book)

 and the only reason I watch CNN are the ladies...much smarter than the FOX bimbos but very very pretty like whatshername  here..mmmmmmmmm....ooooowwww...aaahhhh



CNN's Lily Luscious

but still, I was not invited to the luncheon starring Gretchen Carlson after all I've done for Wendy so I'm a little hurt...but these FOX NEWS pageant reporters make no more sense to me than ISIL

so I read the story and it appears that Gretchen was a fat kid, grew up to be Miss America in 1989, plays violin and was made fun of by William Goldman who wrote the screenplay for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid....my top three westerns are El Dorado, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and High Plains Drifter

Gretchen didn't like what Goldman said about her being "chunky"..sent her into a tailspin of self-doubt..but geez if you do a striptease in front of judges and millions of people you gotta expect some criticism...as far as the news goes, Gretchen's got a screwy smile on her face and uses a cutesy-wootsy voice when she's doing a story that I find arousing and annoying at the same time...women are dogs and they should obey my commands...sit up, roll over, lick me and so on...

but why would Goldman be a judge at the Miss America pageant, I wondered...oh, he wrote a book about it called "Hype and Glory"

but then I remembered the Miss America gals walk out in bathing suits...it's a competition..so yeah now I get it

judge not lest ye be judged, right Gretchen
