Obama’s Economy For Idiots-He Gets an A+ for Wasteful Spending
The White House yesterday boldly proclaimed that 1 million jobs were saved or created as a direct result of Obama’s Stimulus package.
Well, isn’t that special?
Lets set aside for a moment that the “saved or created” statistics is pure hogwash like I’ve written about on my prior post. If you look on the Recovery.gov website without laughing your head off, you'll see a chart that says that 207.54 Billion dollars have been spent thus far into the economy. If the 1 million jobs save or created stat is true, which we know its not, but lets say it is, that means each job cost taxpayers $207,000 per job.
Do you really think these jobs are pay more than it takes to save or create them?
Of course not!
This is what “Hope and Change” is costing the American people.
President Obama, who doesn’t know what an economics text book looks like if you put it in front of him in a photo array, is sending this country into financial ruin.
But hey, he looks like a president, right?

the Skeleton Dance....
After the German of Goethe
The warder looked out at the mid-hour of night, Where the grave-hills all silently lay; The moon-beams above gave so brilliant a light, That the churchyard was clear as by day: First one, then another, to open began; Here came out a woman - there came out a man, Each clad in a shroud long and white.
And then for amusement - perchance it was cold - In a circle they seemed to advance; The poor and the
rich, and the young and the old, But the grave-clothes impeded the dance: And as no person thought about modesty there, They flung off their garments, and stripped themselves bare, And a shroud lay on each heap of mould.
They kicked up their heels, and they rattled their bones, And the horrible din that they made Went clickety-clackety - just like the tones Of a castanet noisily played. And the warder he laughed as he witnessed the cheer, And he heard the Betrayer speak soft in his ear, "Go and steal away one of their shrouds."
Swift as thought it was done - in an instant he fled Behind the church portal to hide; And brighter and brighter the moon-beam was shed, As the dance they still shudderingly plied; But at last they began to grow tired of their fun, And they put on their shrouds, and slipped off, one by one, Beneath, to the homes of the dead.
But tapping at every grave-hill, there staid One skeleton, tripping behind; Though not by his comrades the trick had been played Now its odour he snuffed in the wind: He rushed to the door - but fell back with a shock; For well for the wight of the bell and the clock, The sign of the cross it displayed.
But the shroud he must have—not a moment he stays; Ere a man had begun but to think, On the Gothic-work his fingers quickly he lays, And climbs up its chain, link by link. Now woe to the warder - for sure he must die To see, like a long-legged spider, draw nigh
The skeleton's clattering form: And pale was his visage, and thick came his breath; The garb, alas! why did he touch? How sick grew his soul as the garment of death....
The skeleton caught in his clutch- The moon disappeared, and the skies changed to dun, And louder than thunder the church-bell tolled one- The spectre fell tumbling to bits!

The Democrats New Bogus “Created or Saved” Statistic
The only thriving industry in Obama’s economy seems to be the “focus group” firms. Can you imagine where the Democrat Party would be without them?
They wouldn’t be able to walk and chew gum without these businesses telling them how to think and speak. They wouldn’t know what buzz words to use in their speeches and press conferences.
Yeah, throw in a lot of words like “choice”, “competition”, or “insurance company profits”. Everybody likes to have a “choice”. People think “competition” is good. Most people hate “insurance” companies.
But the latest invention of the focus groups is the “created or saved” job statistic. And the Dems have latched onto this phrase like a crackhead jonezing crack. But, are these statistics really valid?
Please, they’re as valid as Charlie Rangel being the Chairman of the House Ways and Means committee.
The only jobs government can create are jobs working for the government. Although these hirings may slow down the unemployment rate, it’s an artificial solution that doesn’t solve the underlying problems of high unemployment.
Governments can’t hire their way out of recession and into recovery.
True recovery only happens when the private sector starts hiring again.
So what is a saved job?
It’s pure hogwash!
This bogus statistic is a fraud intended to deceive a misinformed public into thinking the Obama Administration has a clue of what’s its doing.
This is now the famous, “had it not been for this (Obama’s stimulus) many more jobs would have been lost." Yeah, and if my Aunt had a pair, she’d be my uncle.
It’s impossible to prove a negative!
But, I guess in Obama’s world, all things are possible, even malicious deception.
Shame on you, Mr. President!

Santa Barbara Chainsaw Massacre...
a run in with that goofy Texan Randy "Leatherface" Van Wolfswinkelstein....
so, I turned to see who was grabbing my arm and it was the lovely and famous Norma Desmond..."damn Norma, you scared me a little".. I brushed my arm across her half-exposed and supple breasts and said "sorry.. I didn't mean to!" Her nipples were poking through her sweater like a couple of illegal aliens trying to sneak across the border!
She just smiled her little smile and handed me a present and then started to tell me what she saw last night while she was walking around East Haley Street [aka Sunset Blvd] at three in the morning.. she says "I saw this guy drive up in a new BMW, and he started babbling about how big he was cos he was from Texas, about how size matters, a bunch of stuff related to bulk"...Norma interrupts him and says "you wanna party or not, Leatherface?" The dude says "GO DONS" and speeds away, but not before hitting an old woman who was walking across the street like a zombie!!
Norma said "You are... writing words, words, more words! Well, you'll make a rope of words and strangle this town! But there'll be a microphone there to catch the last gurgles, and Technicolor to photograph the red, swollen tongues!"
the more Norma talked, the more red and swollen I became and had to sit down on a bench for awhile...we sat there until evening crept in...I cried: let's go see a movie!
Norma squeezed my arm and said: I promise you I'll never desert you again because after a 'Salome' sandwich, I'm ready for a movie. You see, this is my life! It always will be! Nothing else! Just us, the cameras, and those wonderful people out there in the dark!... All right, Dr.Von Caw, I'm ready for my close-up.

Norma freaked and ran to help the old lady, who got up said "I'm Sheila" and continued to walk, walk walk... then Norma says to me "There once was a time in this business when I had the eyes of the whole world! But that wasn't good enough for them, oh no! They had to have the ears of the whole world too. So they opened their big mouths and out came talk. Talk! TALK!"
I looked at her with a half-baked smile and nodded " This whole place seems to have been stricken with a kind of creeping paralysis - out of beat with the rest of the world, crumbling apart in slow motion."

Dennis Hopper Diagnosed With Prostate Cancer
Sad news about a former '24' actor from season 1. Dennis Hopper played Jack's nemesis, Victor Drazen. He's a very talented actor and I wish him all the best during his treatment for prostate cancer. -(24FanForever)
Last Updated: Thursday, October 29, 2009 | 11:19 PM ET
The Associated Press
Dennis Hopper has been diagnosed with prostate cancer and is canceling all travel plans to focus on treatment.
Manager Sam Maydew says the 73-year-old actor and artist is being treated through a "special program" at the University of Southern California.
Asked about Hopper's prognosis, Maydew said, "We're hoping for the best."
Hopper was forced to cancel his appearance at an exhibition at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image in Melbourne called "Dennis Hopper and the New Hollywood," a collection of artwork and photography by the actor.
Hopper recently finished shooting the second season of TV's Crash and has several film projects in the works.

Is Time Finally Running Out For Jack Bauer? - 10/30/09
Steve Hargrave, Showbiz correspondent
Kiefer Sutherland has told Sky News that the hit television show 24 could carry on, even if his character Jack Bauer is killed off.
The star is busy filming Day 8 of the smash series, which reaches UK screens in January, amid huge speculation it may be the last.
"I've always said its certainly possible," said Kiefer, when asked if someone else - like new cast member Freddie Prinze Junior - might take over if Bauer bows out.
"All the actors have always understood there's a strong chance they will die in the context of the show. But the real star is the time format."
Sutherland says fans will see a different side of Bauer in the new season, which is set in New York.
"The start is very different from any show that we've done," the actor told Sky News. "At least for Jack it is very quiet.
"When the day does start to go bad he really does get involved, and not because he's a part of it but because he's being pulled into it.
"That resistance is something you're not used to seeing, and it's interesting to see what pushes him towards actually taking care of the responsibiliites of that day."
All the cast are sworn to secrecy over the plot details, but 42-year-old Sutherland insists they are as much in the dark as the fans.
"To be honest once we get started on a season we focus solely on that scene," he said.
The actor went on: "There are so many people that will be part of that decision on whether 24 continues.
"In regards to Jack dying? Well eventually, he will die one day. I just don't know whether he'll be 87 or he'll be 43."
Day 8 of 24 starts on Sky1 in January.

Comment: I really hate reading these stories. '24' is still the best show on television and I think it still has at least one or two more good seasons left in it. Hopefully, FOX will see this and renew '24' for at least one more season beyond season 8. And no Kiefer, '24' could not carry on without you as Jack Bauer.
No Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer in '24' = No '24'.

Kiefer Sutherland Interview With GMTV
This interview with Kiefer is primarily about the "Monsters vs. Aliens" DVD release, but I thought it was so cute I had to post it.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
'24' Season 8 First Look: Jack Bauer Never Gets To Settle Down
And then we realize we're less than two months away before the next season of 24 begins. You know, a lot of loose ends, about Jack's health for one thing, but it seems we're all past that--and we're going into another 24 hours of the stuff we've come to expect from Jack Bauer and company.
Here's what we already know: this season will be set in New York, and will involve Jack (who's already retired, I must note) stopping an attempt to assassinate President Hassan, who is in the country to broker a groundbreaking deal with President Taylor.
Here's what the trailer below suggests: Jack finds himself unwittingly sucked into another life-or-death situation, just as he begins to settle down and start a new life with daughter Kim and her daughter, who is perhaps one of the most adorable things I've seen on the show. ("You do not look like a grandfather," the kid goes. Ohhh!)
Here's what the trailer doesn't show:Katee Sackhoff and Freddie Prinze Jr. , who are part of the revived CTU. But we get to see Mykelti Williamson as the new CTU head, and of course, Chloe. And the presidents. And the usual explosions.
And so the countdown begins to 24's eighth season, which kicks off with a two-night, four-hour premiere on Sunday, January 17.

the Haunting...
of the Holy Trinity.....
My name is Dr. Mick Von Caw and along with my assistant, Professor Lanny Von Ebenfrankenstein, am conducting an experiment on pararnormal experiences by Santa Barbarans who get too close to tall buildings...the overall effect has been a shared fixation to chop the tops off buildings over 40 feet high...why? we asked some folks that very question..why?
some of the responses were recorded: "well, there's strange things that happen beyond 40 ft"..."up there, th
ings get a little crazy"..."I'd rather not discuss it".."there's nobody under 5ft 8inches who doesn't understand the implications of 60 ft buildings"..."I'm tired of looking up all the time".."ever since 9/11, I don't like tall buildings".."the well- being of my family depends on short buildings".. "our heritage is short buildings"...
ok ok I got it..geez. Lanny and I head over to a little 15 ft high restaurant on State St to get something to eat when in walks two other
members of the group studying this building height phenomenon: Sheila Lodge and Mike Self, are they allegedly lesbian lovers or just "sisters"? Sheila looks possessed by a demon! Mike just keeps repeating campaign slogans...I tell them both to leave us alone while we're eating and I don't wanna puke my breakfast because these old gals gimme the blues...and to add to my deteriorating mood, in walks
Kellam De Forest, the head of the Pearl Chase Society..I've watched this old dude at city council meetings and I got two words for you, pal: rest home. I finished eating and told Professor Von Ebenfrankenstein to find another lackey..I told him I was tired of all these ad hominem attacks on tall buildings and big things..I stepped out onto State St, headed for the Trinity church, the cool October wind licking my neck when all of a sudden a strange, yet beautiful woman grabbed my arm....
under the orange colored skies...

PETA tries to shock me??
well...your mother sucks cocks in hell!!!
..a new pet store opens in Carpinteria...PETA comes into Santa Barbara and tries to shock people into going vegan..they do this by showing a bloody dead person packaged up like chicken thighs at the meat counter...blood doesn't frighten me..have you ever had sex with a woman on her period..well I have and lemme tell ya..well.... I can't possibly explain it so you'll just have to find out for yourself...but it made me a braver person...
and then there's the story of the woman in Philly who advertised on Craig'slist for World Series tickets..she said she'd perform sex acts for tickets! Susan Finklestein is her name and she's not ugly, so if I had tickets and some extra time on my hands, would I do it? hmmmm...
Peta used to be a respected animal abuse organization..we should all watch out for animal abuse. However, there is a distinction between abuse and harvesting animals for food..an unrealized goal for me, besides going to Arizona to die in sweat hut, is to have sex with a few PETA girls...I'll have 'em eating meat in no time!
besides, PETA can be rather hypocritical at times: Animal lovers worldwide now have access to more than a decade’s worth of proof that People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) kills thousands of defenseless pets at its Norfolk, Virginia headquarters. Since 1998, PETA has opted to "put down" 21,339 adoptable dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens instead of finding homes for them.
PETA’s "Animal Record" report for 2008, filed with the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, shows that the animal rights group killed 95 percent of the dogs and cats in its care last year. During all of 2008, PETA found adoptive homes for just seven pets.
save the bears!!

'24': A First Look At Season 8
Posted October 27th, 2009 by KimWill the upcoming eighth season of 24, which premieres on Fox on Jan. 17, be the series’ last? I’m going to choose to be in denial about that for now …
But DigitalSpy.com does have a first bit of footage from the new season, and it finds a retired (whut?!) Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) trying to spend some quality time with his granddaughter, only to be dragged back into another CTU/gotta-save-the-world-again emergency. Yes, every time he thinks he’s out, they keep pulling him back …
There are lots of familiar faces in the clip – Renee/Girl Jack (Annie Wersching)! President Taylor (Emmy winner Cherry Jones)! Chloe (Mary Lynn Rajskub)! Kim Bauer (Elisha Cuthbert)! – as well as some new faces, like a man (played by The Shield’s great Benito Martinez) desperately seeking Jack’s help, Freddie Prinze Jr.’s new CTU operative Cole Ortiz, Mykelti Williamson as new CTU honcho Brian Hastings and some doofus who dares to ask the question, “Who the hell is Jack Bauer?” Oh, he’ll soon find out. Oh yes … he will soon find out.
One other cast standout: The kid playing Jack’s granddaughter, who you may recognize from what is one of the most annoying TV commercials ever: The Van De Kamp’s fish commercial in which the tot rudely chastizes her mother for feeding her minced fish. Let’s hope she’s far less annoying on 24, because grandpa or not, Jack Bauer simply won’t put up with that kind of sass!
PS – There’s another sneak peek at the new season available at YouTube, a shaky, poor quality clip someone filmed at San Diego Comic Con last summer. Again, the quality is bad (and much of it is flipped 90 degrees, making it a dizzying viewing experience), but it does provide more of a look at the new CTU offices, as well as a small preview of Dana Walsh, the new CTU character played by Battlestar Galactica’s Katee Sackhoff.
How excited are you for the new season of 24? And do you think/hope/dread that it will be the show’s final season?

The Good and Bad Newt Gingrich
This is the good Newt Gingrich.
This is the bad Newt Gingrich.
Newt! Come back to us, babe!
Unfortunately, Newt Gingrich has lost his way and has become the kind of Republican that part of the problem with the Republican Party. No matter how much he may try to explain himself, he made a huge mistake endorsing a Liberal Republican over a Conservative candidate.
It’s time to cast Newt aside for the good of the Conservative cause that believes Conservatism does not need to be modified, watered down, or become Liberal light.
Lines need to be drawn now before the 2010 elections and beyond and Conservatives need to take over the Republican Party once and for all to battle the Liberals that have taken over the Democrat Party.
It’s just that simple!

Obama’s Public Option Violates Middle Class Tax Pledge
All throughout his presidential campaign, Barack Obama promised that 95% of the American people would receive a tax cut. Most of us, meaning people who did not buy into Obama’s Messianic personhood, saw through his rhetoric for what is was, blatant pandering and outright lies.
Now I don’t have the expertise of a Betsy McCaughey who can better explain the ramifications of overhauling our health care system better than anybody else on the planet.
But, common sense tells me there’s no way in the world can Obama and the Democrats say that you can insure an extra 40 million uninsured/nonproductive people on the backs of insured/productive citizens and not have costs rise to cover the difference.
The money has to come from somewhere to pay for it all?
And when all is said and done if this obscenity is passed in congress, it’s the middle class that will suffer the burden with any new oppressive taxes or fees that the Democrats can think of to fund the entitlement.
How does this not violate Obama’s “no tax” pledge to the American people?

maryjane..
be KIND to each other...
the outcry over pot dispensaries is rather silly...first of all, all weed should be legalized...grow a little in your house or garden and smoke a doobie every now and then..not a problem. and medical marijuana is perfectly legit..if it helps ease the pain, use it. It's legal in California and now the feds will stay out of our business..I personally don't use grass, but the more folks who do increase my chances of success by reducing the clear- thinking competition, thus I win. The medical snop actually should be packaged and sold in pharmacies where all the other drugs are sold. The casual users could buy theirs in liquor stores...so the outcry from the conservatives who think a hippie smoking granny's panties will kill them and their family like Charlie Manson did is a little nutty... a beer drinking redneck is ten times more dangerous!!
you see, Aunt Mary is just
another drug Americans use to escape the culture for awhile...it's been around since the beginning of time...so what's the big deal...if wacky tobacky were legal, those who don't need it won't seek it out, and there will be less moocah related crime!
Where we should be concentrating our efforts is the drug companies who advertise killer drugs on TV...high praise for the legislation introduced by, among others, Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.), would cut off the federal tax deduction for drug companies that make those "direct-to-consumer" ads, the ones on TV convincing you to pop prescription drugs like candy. There's plenty to hate about those ads. They're ubiquitous, for one thing. They manage to be misleading without being downright untrue. They play into the "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing" category, because you've got people self-diagnosing without understanding that, in some cases, the side effects can be worse than the underlying condition. ("Death" is one of those annoying side effects.)
drugs are a big business and lord know we don't need most of them, so get back to drug basics...coffee, Excedrin, Nyquil, a little wine and perhaps an occasional hit of Maui Wowie..
that's all you really need!

Al Franken (D-Minn.), would cut off the federal tax deduction for drug companies that make those "direct-to-consumer" ads, the ones on TV convincing you to pop prescription drugs like candy. There's plenty to hate about those ads. They're ubiquitous, for one thing. They manage to be misleading without being downright untrue. They play into the "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing" category, because you've got people self-diagnosing without understanding that, in some cases, the side effects can be worse than the underlying condition. ("Death" is one of those annoying side effects.)
drugs are a big business and lord know we don't need most of them, so get back to drug basics...coffee, Excedrin, Nyquil, a little wine and perhaps an occasional hit of Maui Wowie..
that's all you really need!

24 Press Conference Today - 10/26/09
Sounds like the 24 cast is starting to do their first press interviews talking about the upcoming season.
Here are a couple of tweets from Sky1 Insider from today:
#24 press junket underway. Kiefer Sutherland, Katee Sackoff and Freddie Prinz Jnr talking about Day 8. First look and it's gonna be great!
#24's Katee Sackoff reveals a wardrobe change during the season. Does this mean there's more to her CTU analyst than first meets the eye?

Should be getting more news and quotes regarding season 8 soon!
It's getting closer!! :)
the Idiot...
Idiot Wind...
yes, I'm an idiot, the biggest fool to ever hit the big time, Iggy's an idiot, but 35th dist Ass'blyman Pedro Nava is a bigger idiot....the Ojai bear story has confirmed this. Instead of being a leader and defender of wildlife, Pedro has been following idiots, thus becoming one in the process. Who else but an idiot would act like he is acting. Why is Pedro coming to the defense of people who don't understand animal behavior? These people who really killed the bear by their o
wn stupidity live in Ojai. They are mourning the dead bear with a makeshift memorial! I found this out from a story in the News-Press...the News-Press thinks the head of Fish and Game resigned due to their bear editorials...the makeshift memorial picture was taken by #69 Julia Di Sieno, another idiot posing as an wild animal rescuer..it seems when Julia shows up at these events, an animal dies or suffers! Why Julia? Why??
Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth,
a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing..
Now, Pedro wants to meet with Fish and Game to find out what their black bear policy is. Ah, Pedro, you idiot, this information is readily available online..if you can use a computer and know what the internet is, you can find it easily! This is information you should be imparting to the public as a California Assemblyman, not running around trying to blame Fish and Game, ie, show off for your childish animal-ignorant friends, Wendy and Julia ie #86 ands #69..geez, these people are starting to annoy me...these folks are too far removed from the cycle of life and death...instead of hunting for dinner, they go to Whole Foods for organic beansprouts; or farm-friendly non-hormoned beef or chicken..the bear doesn't have that luxury, it forages or hunts...but if you city folks leave your dog food out, or your garbage, you will attract bears..then when you see one, you panic!! LEAVE THEM ALONE AND KEEP 'EM WILD!!
Department's Statewide Black Bear Policy 2071
Consistent with sections 1801, 4181 and 4181.1 of the Fish and Game Code, the goal of the statewide black bear policy is to minimize damage to private property, without posing a threat to local bear populations. This policy is intended to address situations where bears have entered residential areas to minimize bear/human conflicts. Bears which are threats to public safety, as determined by a public safety officer or Department employee, may be killed at any time without a permit. The specific procedures for handling public safety bears are detailed in the Department's "Wildlife Safety Policy."
The Department recognizes that the improper storage of human foods and garbage is the primary factor leading to bear/human conflicts. The reduction or elimination of bear attractants is therefore emphasized throughout this policy so that bears do not become habituated to human food and become problem bears in the future. This policy is intended to reduce the number of bear/human conflicts to the benefit of individual bears and people living or recreating in bear habitat.
DFG....

Season 8 Preliminary Trailer Details
24 Spoilers on Twitter has posted details about a rough cut of the first two Season 8 promos that will be starting airing during the World Series. Here is the information they have put on their Twitter page:
End of first promo is sweet - Jack in new CTU and Chloe walking right behind him w/ lyrics "We gonna run this town tonight
"Cute stuff between Jack and Kim's daughter Teri. She says "Jack?" and he smiles "you're supposed to call me grandpa!"
Promo 1 text: "He left it all to start a new life. But old habits die hard. This season: when a global crisis hits home, Jack. hits. back."
Promo 2 text: "All he wants is his family. All he needs is to survive one more day."
Jack Bauer stuff: he jumps through a freakin' glass window while screaming "Let's go!"
Jack appears to smack a terrorist in the head w/ a red fire axe causing the guy to fall backwards over the top railing.
Bauer tackles Cole Ortiz (Freddie Prinze Jr) while screaming "Get down!" - a rocket(!!) blows up the CTU(?) helicopter.
A bloody Jack Bauer sitting in a chair, he's getting punched in the face by a bald-headed guy... looks like it may be Domenick Lombardozzi
Dana Walsh (Katee Sackhoff) and CTU director Brian Hastings (Mykelti Williamson) watching big-screen monitor in shock as a building explodes
It appears as if the first two (daylight) episodes involve Jack transporting that Victor Aruz character (Benito Martinez) to CTU
Saw Stefan Kapicic's character firing a machine gun into an alley, and then he was one of the two dudes getting hit by Jack's fire axe.
Necar @zadegan's character (President Omar Hassan's wife) was yelling at someone "You put us all in danger!"
Two awesome Jack Bauer promo quotes: "You're lucky I'm retired" and "I hate this place."
Jack wants to move back to LA w/ Kim, smile & hug each other. Baby Teri "You don't look like a grandpa?" Jack laughs "Couldn't agree more!"
Two cops w/ guns drawn in alley, appears they're trying to bring Victor into custody but that's Jack's only lead. Seems to be a firefight.
It's night time and someone presses a detonator switch. A black car explodes and flips over onto its roof, skidding across the road.
Night time again - Chloe waiting on roof, a helicopter lands and Renee walks out of it looking badass. Seems her hairstyle is different.
Russian mobster (played by Callum Keith Rennie) is pointing a gun to Renee's head on a rooftop. Renee screams out "DO IT!" (oh hell no!)
Jack Bauer was in a convenience store screaming at the top of his lungs "What the hell have you done!?" and then "This is over!!"
Also, Jack was holding a sub-machine gun in his right hand while standing next to Victor before jumping through the glass window.

Pelican Man Diaries..
ducks in the wind....
no doubt you've seen the Grizzly Man Diaries..an extraordinary documentary about Alaskan bears and foxes by Timothy Treadwell, who pushed his luck and got killed by one of the bears he loved so well..his girlfriend got mauled to death too..well, I'm not as brave as Treadwell, but I do have a camera and an affinity towards animals because they know I won't bullshit them..I give them the staight dope. So it came as no surprise when 
I went on a Saturday ride and visited some creeks...I parked the bike and peered over the side of Toro Creek and all the little duck birdies came swimming towards me.. "hey, it's Uncle Mick" they screamed...I sat down on the bridge wall and they were all excited and proudly swimming in circles like some SB City Council candidates...they knew I wasn't going to feed them..there's plenty of food in the water..they were just visiting and happy to see me..and I them. Even cars going
over the skinny bridge slowed down to pay their respects for this rare moment...and then I came across a little white egret (Snow White) who was poised for a picture, not at all afraid of me..why, who would be afraid of me???
Down towards the mouth of the creek by the beach, a big pelican (Uncle Remus) was swimming around, eyeing me like an optometrist...he was suspicious at first, but apparently recognized me not as rescuer Julia or phony Wendy or dumbass Nipper, but Mick, the Pelican Man..he swam a little closer..closer..here Uncle Remus.... come to your bro, I thought..and he did..he came right close and for the first time in my life I felt a part of a family...the bird family..my chronic lonliness disappeared for five minutes...I felt like a child being
embraced by Lillian Gish in the movie Night of the Hunter...I was thankful and humbled by the birds..then I said my goodbyes....I went over to my 
pal Kevin Costner's house to see if he wanted to play or do a documentary about whatever..he wasn't home but there was a bunch of temporary clapboard houses and junk in his big yard! and you know, ever since all these actors moved into the hood, they put up all these warning signs: This Area Under Surveillance..We watch them..they watch us..
next, I'll visit the black bears...
