Food is illegal!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHoFY7h-do8
Here's footage of a police raid on the local food co-op a couple miles up the street from me. I've been going there since it was just a truck that would park clandestinely in different places to sell it's illegal contraband, such as raw, organic milk, cream, honey, produce, meat and fish.  Things the public should really be protected from!  I found out about the truck because about 15 years ago I complained to the owner of my local health food store about the inconsistent raw milk supply.  She was a little old lady that snuck me into her back room, which looked just like out of a movie, dark with a single electric light bulb.  She pulled out some raw milk from an unlabeled refrigerator.  I asked her, are you selling this to me illegally?  She didn't answer, just flashed me a little-old-lady Mona Lisa smile.  I then asked her who her supplier was, and she told me, and from then on I got it straight from the supplier in his clandestine truck.  I wanted to deal directly with the supplier and know when it was in town, rather than just "hoping" the store would have it.  It was the supplier that was actually keeping the raw farms operational, anyway, so he would be the one to know if there was any available to even sell. 


And as if this wasn't enough drama, now the local raw food movement leader has charged the founder of the co-op with supplying tainted, non-organic food, and the co-op manager has responded with accusations of his own.  Wow, drama!!!

Happy Birthday to Me!

Lovely day.  The guys got me a cake at work...










and card




























met cousin Phil (http://www.americanveda.com/) at this place with a lovely bakery...












...and there was more stuff I was going to say but I'm very slow now because my pc doesn't work, and I don't know how to use my Mac yet.  I'm homeless between two worlds, still trying to get my bearings.

Happy Birthday John Lennon!

What a miracle modern technology is. I had no idea there were family videos of the Lennon family on youtube! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moCf_pghM-U) He was a seriously blissed out dude!  I have never heard a better world message. No wonder his popularity was confused with that of Jesus. Seriously, listen to the words people.  JUST LET IT GO.


Interesting slip of the tongue, or the “secret lyrics”?!  I’ve been listening to various versions of Lennon singing “Watching the Wheels” and the line is usually “I’m just watching the wheels go round,” but in a short acoustic version (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_m8uoObnWQM), in which he sounds more like he’s singing to himself, he sings “I’m just MAKING the wheels go round.”


I also tweeted this today:  TODAY ONLY! Click on google's icon (). They piece together some of Lennon's drawings and made a video. It's beautiful.


Happy Birthday John Lennon. But you are the gift.

Live from Here, it's SATURDAY NIGHT!!

When I first moved here it was just a convenient place to collapse, and collapse I did.  I just now went outside!  This place is amazing.  No wonder people have been asking me how I like it all year.  I am not likely to stay long, and I don't think I'll ever live anywhere like this again, so the time to enjoy it is NOW.  Live from Here, it's SATURDAY NIGHT!! 


We have "Carpet Cleaning to the Stars"















A limo:














Kids:














Not sure what this is, but the sign says "Free soundproofing":















Here's a critter enjoying his Saturday night (that's a ball in his mouth):
















And this was too funny, but I missed the photo op.  They are wearing the same outfit!  Little black dog with white boots and his walker in black outfit with white shoes.





















And here we have, um, whatever this is:
















Oops, this little boat is passing:

















Here's the result of the little boat passing:  
















And the romantic rescue:
















And, here's Darrell, the Fisherman. I found him chasing his bait down the street.  I hope he's a better fisherman than he is a bait catcher.  :)

   


















And a bird feeder:
