LIFE IN THE 1970s: Skateboarding And Hanging Out In Sunny California – Collision on the Ramp, Redondo Beach Pier (1975) [Image: Hugh Holland / mbart.com]
There is a photo gallery kicking around at BI for a bit now, a sun tinged remembrance, it seems, of California in the 70s… mostly children, loose and free, in beach and coastal communities, most of them having a ball with skateboards…
It does have a sweetness to it, an Endless Summer nostalgia. I never knew why the disdain, even hatred, for “skateboarders”… what it was all about… but people sure indulged in it.
What is wrong about children filling their time, having fun?

gut, liver, …and heart…. wrenching, …. that picture is
from Business Insider:
(Clearly, …..someone, ……..from Business Insider …(of all the places! …imagine that!..), .has been captured into a world they absolutely despise, and their reminiscing, perhaps, ….to a time before they were even born, …… helps keep their sanity…intact.)
life and bath water
I take things where i find them… and I use BI as an aggregator… of sorts.
Shit,…I’m slow now,…I had intended a period after: …that picture is. Of course, if I would have capitalized the F, in “from,” it would have been even clearer. Very sorry for the murk.
(was not ‘calling you out’ re the picture source, very sorry for that misunderstanding, honey.)
Oh, Im not comlaining honey, I thought it was a perfect commentary on: the state of being.
:0) :0( ;0( ;0)
(can you fill me in on Bradley, re: John Grisham (last “thread”), inquiring minds, would love to know hon?)
;0)
I answered in the last thread.
oops…fock, that last comment was meant to follow your response to my first comment on the thread Marisa…….
think I’ll stop “speaking” some time soon … in the virtual world …really insane shit going on …. two seconds it takes out of my mouth…..near an hour on the: transfer assets and power, and let folks steam vent, web.
well that and perhaps the fact that the Japan Nuclear disaster seems to have maybe, possibly speeded up a big C possibility …on this end …yeah, I smoke, ….but hmmmm …whatever, glad to go Mother Fockers, except for the pain left for that handful who’ve loved me, and outlive me…that fucking hurts, I’ll admit that…now whaT?

Johnson’s Ten Million Dollar Pay Check Part of Elaborate Tax Avoidance Scheme
ugh reading that gave me a headache.
SO many of thse deals are dirty…and just cost states and cities money…
his weekend is the Twin Cities Pride Festival, and the city has lit up the 35W bridge to acknowledge it.
Might as well laugh… I think L’Obster just ejaculated all over Haley Barbour. Some fit of joy and a shared love of states’ rights.

oh ! THIS really made me laugh… ti is at the end of the report:
Oh honey, he does ”go all the way”. it’s just with Haley Barbour NOT with you!
(Don’t make me laugh TOO fucking hard.)
Must.
Have.
Money.
Maybe they should think about shooting skag now that Bernie’s gone</b< and his, shall we say, creative account statements that could be taken to bank to obtain
Even.
MORE.
Money…
And
Can’t we has the EXTRA TRIPLE Money, too?
Like because , shock, it was fraud all around.
Bernie’s victims. Pfft.
And Picard: talk about a self serving shitheel, not that I mind seeing JP Morgan named in what is becoming an increasingly selective takedown, game.
This really sounds like dueling pistols and nominated seconds, at dawn.
What clowns.
This is very interesting… http://www.maplight.org
For US Congress, and also Cali and WI. AND Los Angeles Co….
Not only donations (verry interesting) but matchd to votes….
interesting that the site is “supported,” by the Sunlight Foundation; which, as I recollect, was primarily funded by Blum (Feinstein’s hubby) and Klein, around the time of DIFI’s Appropriations Committee outing. Not sure whether that data is still available (or, whether they still fund that foundation), but I came across it when doing a small study of “non profit watchdogs” …What’s your take on Maplight hon?
I don’t know, I just heard about it tonight. hell I thought it was Soros behind everything.
TSA asked 95 year old woman in a wheelchair in terminal stage of leukemia to remove adult diaper for pat-down
They just cannot stop….
I clicked thru and read the Florida newspaper report…
Thank god she at least filed a report… but it says the answer from TSA (nothing to see here, showers to the left and to the right!) means she will take it farther…
it increasingly seems to me, from these constant reports anyway, that they seem to target the seemingly powerless and those unable to object.
i agree … a dying 95 year old in fucking FLORIDA ???????
how stupid is that.
The entire thing, imo is a brutal excercise to see what Americans will put up with.
Now that TSA has so graciously said they will try to withold from violating children. They will only do it if they have to.
Plus hey, it engenders resentment of Middle Easterners. No 95 year old grandmother is going to be trying to bomb the lousy country.
Exactly. People need to institute a moratorium on flying till they’re treated like the paying customer, human beings, they actually are. Even if it were just a three day moratorium of not purchasing flight tickets, I’m sure it would have a powerful effect.
People also need to shun people involved in that shit, make them feel as helpless as they’ve made innocent victims feel.
Looking over Google news I think this story is starting to roll around the country.
Interestingly in some spots (New Jersey! for one) issues of constitutionality are being raised, and (Thank You fucking L’Obster) issues of STATES RIGHTS.
Hell I am all for it. Obster can find out, it is not just about the Ghey. ”States rights” can be a prickly thorn in HIS ass too.

I feel very similar about the area I live in, as of fairly recently (there was not much choice involved in that paniced move, as I imagine is the norm for double digit millions now, looking for any kind of ledge), which will go unmentioned, because, yes! …I have become Paranoid, …….couldn’t imagine why….
Hmmmmm, I should have boldfaced this, also:
…the 2012 stickers are multiplying and liberals are again getting That Look. “It begins with us,” is the new official mantra. Yeah, and it ends the same old way.
”us” is fucked.
I am sorry, voting for ob, much less spinning his verses and reciting his gibberdrool, was and is one of the dumber things I have EVER seen.
As someone who, at the last minute, pulled that switch for him, but has never had any faith that he/Wall Street (they are not separable, to my mind), would do the right thing (yet shamefully allowed myself to be manipulated as to: but we don’t want a ReThug … (and yeah, we don’t)), ..I totally agree with you, I don’t need to vote at all, if it isn’t in the interest of sustaining life, in it’s many stunning wonders.
I jsut cannot stand the lecturing… even as I drop more and more news – such as it is – I find it still penetrates. I find them distasteful.
Well yeah, there’s a: surround sound, ….of the subtle, and blunt, ….. going on, in lecturing …(and punishing),..would make a good screenplay …..if any could stand reliving the horror of it all to write that script….. sigh ……
