A Case of You

oh, I could drink a case of you, and I would still be on my feet, I would still be on my feet

the economy is cyclical so don't panic...the price of food is a little higher but that will bring all you fatties in line to an acceptable weight..

bicycling is good exercise so's running, too... but when I was a kid we didn't need bike paths... we needed  bikes and a road with hills and tore it up...worked fine for me

the more I hear about the Modoc Road bike path the less I likes it...it sounds eerily similar to the Santa Claus Lane bike/dog path that will connect SCL to Carp with big walls, dog waste stations and lights right by the Salt Marsh preserve...both projects are funded by Caltrans whose motto seems to be: more concrete, less trees, fuck you!

and the folks behind such development don't even own property here!!

County Supe Greg Hart just doesn't get it...claiming that building a big concrete bike path will reduce greenhouse gas emissions while at the same time advocating for the removal of 60 GORGEOUS trees on Modoc Rd...it's just stupid to kill Eucalyptus and Palms for no reason and being "non-native" is not a reason...

but really, who wants to see a bunch of bicycle riders stop to take a pee in your neighborhood?

In the Summertime

when the weather is fine, you can stretch right up and touch the sky, in the summertime you got women, you got women on your mind...

I got women and trees on my mind...I just saw the Modoc tree issue where the county wants to cut down beautiful Canary Island palms and some eucs for a fancier bike path...the bike path that is there already will suffice and the County of Santa Barbara needs to to cease and desist from this development fixation..

here's the petition:

MY GOD, CALTRANS has already denuded the highway in Carp, destroyed Santa Claus Lane, and now the county is in lock-step with this madness...there are already a million places to ride bikes for the savvy cyclists...

only ten trees will be removed? that's ten too many

We must keep the trees for the beauty and inspiration they provide and for the birds they attract...and if the county is hot to chop down trees for being non-native, that is irrational...

HEED MY WARNING COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA: if you cut down the Modoc palm trees, I will shoot this dog!!

Happiest Girl in the Whole U.S.A.

Shine on me sun-shine, walk with me world 

It's a skippidity do da day 

I'm the happiest girl, in the whole U.S.A!

Kristi Noem, gov of South Dakota, was in town at Wendy's Reagan Ranch Center talking about limited government..so Roe v Wade gets overturned and all of a sudden she's for big gov't! Ban all abortions, she says..but I'm concerned about the 15-year old girl forced to have her pap's baby...inbreeding can't be healthy..I mean, c'mon Kristi, it's bad news...

the states, especially them southerners, need to take a long, hard look at the gestalt, for the good of the country...even your bibles admonish you: I tell you about these things in advance—as I told you before—that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

now that other Christy who lost the Santa Barbara County Superintendent of Schools race by a country mile finally conceded to pretty and educated Susan Salcido...Christy's head was in a cloud with Qanon conspiracy theories and fear of woke and had no chance of winning...but before she gave up, she requested that voters track their ballots to make sure they were delivered to the county as if maybe she could find a rigged election...white girl desperation..geez, what's with these chicks?

ok so why is there big traffic jams still with the new northbound 3-laner? still hillbilly truckers crashing into palm trees? maybe in the rush to get to the 2-lane  Summerland bottleneck?

Osprey is a magnificent Bird: A master of both wind and wave. The Bird is fast, powerful, and flawless in flight. Even when the sun is bright and blinding, Osprey sees its way clear to reaching its destination, never flinching in its certainty that it’s heading in the right direction.

a new Fancy Dan 3-Lane Highway will not stop a wave

nice catch, Mr. Osprey!

It's Gonna Take a Miracle

yes, it's gonna take a miracle

Hey Kelly,

sorry I can't make it to your show..I am booked solid...maybe next time around, ok?

keep it real like you always do!

your pal,

Mick

but you know, it'll be a fuckin' miracle if Caltrans opens the Carp section of the new highway tomorrow-Friday-June 17

it'll be a goddam miracle

it'd be a dang blasted miracle

and that's all I have to say about that...

Riders On the Storm

if you give this man a ride, sweet family will die

My ballot is in the mail but I am tired of all these goddam feckless Republicans sticking their noses in everybody's business..and dancing Democrats obsessing over which bathroom to use...while children are being slaughtered in school by the NRA MAGA bobble-heads...how hard can it be to keep an AR-15 out of a sociopath's hands? how hard can it be to secure the public schools?

I like Reinette Senum for governor whose promise to "rebuild our topsoil and pollinator populations" suits me just fine...and she's a little controversial 

I'm not surprised that former Carp Councilman and News-Press columnist Joe Armadillo is mixed up with a corrupt marijuana company in SLO?  Joe brought shame to his time on the city council with DUIs and drugs and this and that

The Natural Healing Center/Dayspring debacle is just some drug dealers fucking up everything they touch...but there's Mr. Armadillo working for the NHC begging the gov't not to shut it down..all those good jobs 'n all...and all those folks who need pot to heal and all the money..and..and...OMG, it's just a mess of corrupt mayors, dope dealers, con artists, bribes, suicide, and cocaine 

but I've changed my tune a bit on legal pot...smoking pot will not heal anything but it's nuts to bust a stoner with a joint or two, put him in jail and waste my tax dollars with a trial...

supply and demand, amigos, supply and demand...

Tiny Dancer

Hold me closer, Tiny Dancer, count the headlights on the highway...

The News Press has listed their endorsements (WHOOPIE!!) for the upcoming election and they are all right-wing religious fascists or Q-Anon believers which means they won't win..but if they do win you won't be able to have sex unless you are a married man and woman with Christian values like the Catholic Church and the Boy Scouts...

I don't think Roe vs Wade will be overturned and we can't let these crazy Christians stick their noses into our bedrooms or our business...abortion is ugly but the decisions are between family and doctor, not the church or the gov't mules...INBREEDING IS NOT OK unless you're a Channel Island fox or from Alabama

now, since the gorgeous lunar eclipse, animals and birds have been acting strange... the birds, the bears, the lions and the tigers, oh my..I hope it's not poison but they seem disoriented..
