THINGS TO DO BEFORE YOU DIE STUFF SUCKS

Thinking about "things you should do before you die" lists, books, shows, etc. Shouldn't it just be "Cool Things to Do" or "Cool Things to Do before you end up in a Rascal", or "Cool Things to Do before you get Alzheimer's?" I mean, my corpse wouldn't have any fun doing any of this stuff no matter how great it is. And if there's an afterlife, I'll have no memory about my previous life, right? And don't even get me started on channeling.

With Every Breath We Take

With Every Breath We Take       When I moved to LA in the 70s, I could see and taste the air most days. And it was never birthday cake flavored like one of today’s delicious vape concoctions. During runs on the Westside and on the beach in Santa Monica – where the air was supposedly “clean”- I often felt like I could hack up a lung or two.         I’m all for a free market, but I find images of people in the city walking around with scarves covering their mouths to filter the dirty air repugnant. Do we really need to create and maintain a world that is that filthy to show the rest of the globe how industrious we are? Even China seems to be getting over that, isn’t it?      The population of the Golden State was just over 20 million in 1978.  Then, the air was so lousy that everyone standing over 10 feet away looked like they were softly lit actors behind a flattering gauze filter. The downside: asthma an...

'You Want Fries with That?

I don't have a thing for fat asses, but if I want fries with that, should I have to pay a sin tax for them? Red light cameras are intrusive and outrageous enough. And although "Food,INC" grossed me out and makes me think about what passes my lips, do I need some self appointed food cops to tell me what I should and shouldn't eat? What's next, stepping on a scale before I order from "In 'n Out"? Find out about the BS behind FAST FOOD , on Thursday, June 17 at 10 P on Showtime. (It will repeat a bunch of times after that showing). http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid1873832296?bctid=91168920001

Eat Your Yard

When I first had a space that needed gardening, it was about keeping it weeded and looking good. There's a lot of work involved in maintaining a swell looking yard, and it made me think, here we are living in the market basket of the country, but turning over our yards mostly to just looking nice. Yeah, it's restful to see the green, but keeping it ornamental, keeps us separate from it, too. We look at it, and mostly, don't use it. And if you have a gardener as most people do in this area, well-tended yards take on about the same function as fresh paint on a house. Curb appeal. Nothing wrong with that, but how about maintaining your curb appeal, but also putting your yard to work for you? I started doing it several years ago. Now, most of the year, I can find something growing right outside the door that my family and I can eat, juice, or use to season our food. For those adverse to mowing and blowing, keep your gardener, but have him leave you an area ...
