This is the view from the rhododendron gardens at Carver’s Gap.

I saw this North Carolina version of a strip mall up near there.

Ah, I drove all around that area one day when I was living in Hendersonville and went up to Roan Mt. I sure loved living there, I just couldn’t make enough money to stay.

Carver’s Gap

Is that the bald knobs at Car(something) Gap? I think I’ve been there before.

How can they keep going on and on about the “autopen scandal” when he’s out the saying things like this? But he’s lying of course, everyone realizes that.

I saw him at the Universal Amphitheater for this tour, an absolutely incredible performance.

We used to visit Arizona a lot when I was a kid and I was in elementary school and the teacher asked about my trip and I mentioned the Gila monster I saw. She made fun of me in front of the whole class. There’s no such thing as a Gila monster. I brought in a postcard the next day and showed everyone

The Supreme Court Jesters.

My stepfather worked at the Angeles Furniture Factory in the 30’s with an illustrator who quit Disney. He said Mrs. Disney was a slave driver. There was also a Russian doctor who served on the front in WW1.

One Xmas at Kmart a young cashier gave me change for a $100 bill, I gave her a $20. I was poor, I headed to the door all excited. And turned back and gave her the money back. My Christian family member said I was stupid, you shouldn’t question “God’s blessings”. Even I knew that was a temptation.

That is just too sweet.

Next it will be political profiling and we will all be the targets. I’m asking for asylum in Germany when that day comes.

Yes, instant follow. I saw her on her first West Coast tour in a little (100 people crammed together) room at San Diego State University. She has true charisma, she had that crowd eating out of her hand.

I’ve got a grapefruit tree at work out here near Bakersfield. I water it, but I can’t eat them because of my cholesterol medication. And I love grapefruit.
