thought of getting into Fairfax for Danny's Tuesday show at 19 Broadway where he frequently takes that song to the levels that would make Leonard proud and brings tingles to the spine and soul.
I stayed put at the Wilkins strangely there seems to be a uniformity of opinion up here about the economy and Wall Street, 'the mob' as one senator spoke disparagingly of the great mass of uneducated (uneducated to the power/money world of Washington DC) people who rose up and flooded congresspeoples mailboxes and phones that first week when the $700 Billion bailout idea first came out a few months back. The 'mob' of people who think that this nation is greater than Wall Street and probably could do far better with far less Federal Government intervention in anything and everything whether neo-con or neo-lib. Stand Back - let the Free Markets of free people do their thing. Of course I would urge any and all who have anything invested in Wall Street to begin their divestment now. It's a casino that's all it is.
Community Investment.... hmmm what would that look like?
Start with local Farms. Businesses that serve real needs run by honest people. Let the money flow, but don't send it away to Wall Street or to DC. The Current, Currency... Electric in Nature... our Life's Blood. What do I know about money? Not much based on personal levels of success so far, so don't listen to me.
Yesterday was a brutal day here in Marin.
The discovery of a deceased female in San Rafael behind a local nightspot (5 blocks from my Wilkins Hotel lodging) has sent shivers of dread through all who glanced at the story and more so those of us who go out once in awhile to such establishments and that very place to have a drink, see friends hear some music. I am praying right now that it is not someone I know as the identity of the victim hasn't been released. It is such a dangerous world, to all the young women of the world, please be careful let the pendulum swing back to a more cautious time. Don't give yourself away so easy. I have no knowledge or clues as to who or how or any of that. I can't make any assumptions, I do know there is a bunch of Guys who hang out here who many have tattoos and smoke cigarrettes and are nothing but angels, for the most part it's just a little community. There are times when I have said ''Bleepin' Animals!' under my breath or maybe aloud, as a cab driver when I witness the crap of Male stupidity under the influence. Talking mostly about the Yuppie class, future Wall Street investors ... Male stupidity, not that I deserve a free pass. God.
Then there was the shooting death by San Anselmo Police officer of a mentally disabled man armed with knife on the same day. This followed by about one week my conversation with an off duty officer in the back of my taxi. I asked him about the training of police officers in regards to handling situations exactly it seems as the latest in San Anselmo. Yes he says there is special training to teach an officer how to handle such upset people but... officer safety first.
It seems a lot of people want to know why can't they just shoot someone in the thigh.?
