Tis true, biggest problem in s f is skipping the needles. I abhor needles.

They litter the streets..

Thanks for the post Andreas.

So sad how this all happened in London's city by the bay.

They wanna chuck Julian Assange yonder...

London Breed will be so happy to see him.

She was friends with a smart man who gave up his city six figure job for low level bribery, so smart.

City has fired folks who don't hacksxxxxinate and now posts on busses that tis hiring...

And some ppl love California. If not for the politicians, it would be a most wonderful place.

Did it all start with Schwarzenegger? Or before that?

Dude! Long before that. SF politicians loved (maybe literally) Jim Jones, the guy who served the original kool aid.

Willie Brown, the SF mayor who gave kamala her head start (in exchange for some brown willie) was a big fan of Jim Jones.

That was a good time in California, but I don't remember it.

Things that got built at that time are getting wrecked now.

SF has been rekt for about as long as I remember.

Here's some history about SF and Jim Jones.

I’ve lived in CA all my 65 years. Considered moving to AZ recently for political and tax reasons but it’s just too beautiful here. And the climate is perfect. We will tough it out.

It started turning in the early 70’s after the “summer of love”. I noticed my school teachers were suddenly Marxist hippie types overnight. Clear takeover of our US institutions, starting here in the west and in academia.

Sometimes, the only solution available is cut and run. The time may be now. As both you and GK will appreciate, there were those Russians who escaped the Bolshevik in time to drive taxicabs in Paris, and then there were those left behind. Nabokov is a good literary source on the times. GK has the advantage (for the time being) of being able to move freely between the States. If I were in his shoes, I should think hard about the options.

Gambare, grasshopper!

If the root is strong, the tree will survive.

On Friday I got a very mysterious message out of the blue from HR about my vaccine status.

Weird and evil stuff is happening around us.

You are so caring Andreas. 💕

There is a listing for a music teacher on the unvaccinated job site Red Balloon. It's over in Pleasanton, so about 45 min away from SF.

There's a few other job listings on this site in the Bay Area. I wonder if there are other unvaccinated job sites, I'll keep my eyes open. I know a listing is being developed up here in Sonoma county.

Survival lessons? When we get desperate try peanut butter - the 100% unadulterated, regenerative agriculture grown, aflotoxin free, sugar and additive FREE, non GMO. The game is survival for free wild humans.
