Sunshine Superman

we stood on a beach at sunset, do you remember when? I know a beach where baby, it never ends

SLO couldn't have picked a worse police chief than the one they got...Cantrell is her name and after some controversies, she's headed for another police job...the news that sent up red flags was when Cantrell left her gun in a fast food restaurant bathroom, and it was stolen...what a ditz!! then the overreach on the BLM protest, charging the BLM chick with a felony with made-up evidence???

but I think they call it the Peter Principle or Murphy's Law...you reach the highest level of incompetence and then everything goes wrong... but the bottom line  is this lady should not be a cop anywhere...no way, no how

if the cops keep doing stupid things, like arresting and hand-cuffing an 8-year old child,  they should expect some blowback...they work for us

next Labor Day weekend will end summer and we should all party in our own way..the SB County Health Dept will close the beaches which is stupid because people are gonna go anyway...why? because of the negative ions...waterfalls, thunder storms, brooks and the sea make us feel good.. JFK said: "we are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch it, we are going back from whence we came"

I knew this  chick once...she was full of negative ions!

Where the Streets Have No Name

The city's aflood and our love turns to rust we're beaten and blown by the wind trampled in dust

it took Wendy's ex Craig McCaw, the cell phone billionaire, five years to open Oliver's restaurant in Montecito and now he can't even serve food due to Covid! that's irony for you

so I'm so glad to see that the City of Carpinteria back-peddled on closing down Linden Ave or Main St to you tourists...when it comes to sidewalk cafe dining, Americans are so clumsy...I mean expecting people to eat in the street??  that's  where you put the in-laws at Thanksgiving

Carp still needs to lose the barricades and show some class, esp with our new neighbors Harry, Meghan, and Archie

the Europeans have outdoor dining down to an art, esp France... you can sit outside and watch les Parisiennes, the French Renaissnance art on the sidewalks, have a little vin avec du pain et du beurre...c'est tres bon!!

that's why it's good to study other cultures and not be afraid of anyone who's not a white, conservative, Christian, American kook

but still, the best place to eat a hot dog,  French fries and a Coke in Carpinteria is the beach

I got two pieces of advice for ya: 

never look a gift horse in the mouth
and never turn your back on a French woman riding a horse

California Girls

I wish they all could be California Girls

FINALLY! 

some class 

among all the Broom Hildas

Elenore

gee I think you're swell

so Ellen's getting flack for a toxic work environment on her TV show...they say she's mean but she didn't get to the top by being wishy-washy

I was driving through Summerland years ago and there was Ellen outside an antique store with her friend, loading up the SUV...

I stopped at the Stop Sign, backed up 100 ft, asked her if I could take a picture and she said  "well ok, since you asked"

she stopped what she was doing, stood there and smiled her big smile ...I said "Thank-You" 

I waved, drove away and that was that

I used the photo for my book about Santa Claus Lane

very nice lady

Whip It

whip it good

what country is this?? America? ok, just checking....I thought it was one of those third world shit-hole countries Trumpski brags about but honestly Lady Liberty, I still can see your pretty face, though nowadays it's getting hard to trace...

the dumbing down of America is concerning..in a dog park, some lady pepper-sprayed a couple who didn't wear masks...Trump is still pushing malaria drug Hydroxychloroquine as a Covid cure...the baseball season started without fans but still the Marlins got the Covid virus!

the right-wingers don't know the difference between anarchy and civil unrest..the gov't will issue more welfare checks while crying about the evils of socialism

Carpinteria jumped on the bandwagon and will close Linden Ave, a major thoroughfare, so restaurants can serve dinner outside, in the cold fog of summer...all this brainless mess due to the idiot Gov issuing orders,the rescinding, then re-issuing..

here's an idea: just open up the goddam city!!!

then we have White House Press Sec Kayleigh explaining why so many FOX NEWS anchors are getting fired for being sex pervs...

when in doubt, whip it out

If You Could Read My Mind

love, what a tale my thoughts could tell

so Orlando Bloom, the actor from Pirates of the Caribbean and Montecito resident, lost his little mutt but found only his flea collar...and he seems very sad...but somewhere Orlando, a coyote is very happy!

and there was a time when dog lover Wendy cared about her people employees and made them wear masks...

she must've known about the dangers lurking...I think they call that 'prescient'

Wendy, why didn't you warn Orlando Bloom his little dog was in danger??

Every Breath You Take

every move you make, every vow you break, I'll be watching you

Sunday's News-Press was a classic QAnon primer...conspiracy theories abounding on the Editorial pages...BLM, the Squad and demonic Democratic forces combining to wipe out America..but you can't paint America with such a broad brush...

Andy Caldwell  complains about the Breathe Act from the Squad but pretty AOC wasn't involved with it...Andy's just a windbag for old, scared Christian Republicans, the kind who swoon when Trump holds up a bible as a prop in front of a church, with a stupid look on his face

Andy will lose his wager against Salud..the prob with the conservatives is they keep sending fringe candidates to compete and only a moderate can win, maybe they will figure it out...what's clear is we need another party made up of moderate, common sense Americans: The Mod Squad!

the Democrats are generally clueless wasting time on plaques and street names and following boozer Gavin Newsom right down the drain.....you can't stop Covid any more than you can stop the flu by shutting down small businesses

when Trump and the conservatives declare themselves the party of law and order, where were they when Trump was stealing money from Americans  with his phony Trump University and charity?? and why aren't they prosecuting the throngs of people who call me everyday with some illegal scam trying to loot my savings??

well, the conservative socialists are cooking up another "stimulus" scheme...where do they think that money is coming from??

remove Trump and Newsom and the people will clean up the mess they made

one way or another
