'Sparkin' a Joint'

Well it's 1:12 in the afternoon at the San Anselmo Library. In fact I have not 'sparked a joint' or joined in such activity -- though that friendly expression was relayed to me as to why there was no one at the counter at the local Coffee Shop immediately to serve me my usual, coffee, small with plenty of room for milk ... but --- well I'll not get into any more description of the circumstances -- though any business that is delayed by such circumstances gets my vote as a rare and wonderful business establishment.

  'Sparkin' a joint' I imagined .. I pondered the 'Placebo Effect' I welcomed a grace of consciousness
that might dissolve my brain's cotton and replace it with the deep Yeah effect. I looked up at some Redwoods through my cool polarized sunglasses and said Yeah... I wandered to the edge of some Blackberry Patches. The season has been very generous.. I have never seen so many big ripe and ready Blackberries waiting along the roads.

  'Sparkin' a Joint' I read about our County Marin County USA suing the energy companies.

The Marin lawsuit, filed in Marin County Superior Court, alleges that “major corporate members of the fossil fuel industry, have known for nearly a half century that unrestricted production and use of their fossil fuel products create greenhouse gas pollution that warms the planet and changes our climate.”
The suit goes on to say that even though the fossil fuel companies knew there was a narrow window to take action before consequences would be irreversible, they engaged in a “coordinated, multi-front effort” to “discredit the growing body of publicly available scientific evidence and persistently create doubt.”

  Whatever. Don't ask me I'm a Luddite... troglodyte, 'Almost Amish' wannabe. This action seems to me to be a classic Marin County type of action....and no doubt it serves some greater purpose. I am an optimist which is pretty stupid I admit.

    
No we won't have any of that talk around here. That kind of crazy enlightenment is long out of  fashion. Walt Kelly from his great comic strip from days gone by 'Pogo' actually a cartoon he did for Earth Day 1971.

  Whatever you do don't ask some little kid from Marin County what your plans are for the Summer. Certainly you can and there is nothing wrong with the question or a modern childs answer. WE are going to Paris and then Montana.. Maybe throw in the French Class's week visit to Tahiti. Wow!
Flying to Peru to help build homes for Poor people. Flying to Iceland .. Cheap Tickets!! I can't handle asking.

  Jet Fuel number one.. no I don't worry about Chem Trails.

  Nope those Corporate Bastards have known about this for years. We however never seem to learn.

  My instincts back in the 1970's to salute some little old lady in her front yard Rose Garden in San Anselmo. You are the world's coolest Environmentalist. Keeping it local tending her garden.

  My friend Craig Slater wrote an Op Ed piece for the Marin IJ.. The Impeach Trump movement...

 If there is the transgression of constitutional law then he should be impeached. I haven't seen that 'smoking gun' yet.

  In fact after a 'Tweet' from last week that seemed particularly wretched I suggested to  a friend that President Trump should just resign. My friend answered you think that is bad, The Tweets he likes it's all the other stuff that would be what might upset somebody.

  Meantime I heard some interesting music Sunday at the Paper Mill Creek Saloon... actually it was more than interesting.. interesting that's a pretty weak endorsement of Kevin Meade's 'Highway One Band' ... good Rockin'!
One of the few local talents that I really want to listen to his lyrics. Not sure I got it all and look forward to a CD where I can really hear in the meantime.

  People in California can talk about 'Flyover States' and if it makes you feel good to not understand
where people are coming from, but if it makes you feel good knowing that Us are good and They is bad welcome to Planet Earth, no wonder we are where we are at.  Anyways I am Sparkin' a Joint sooner or later --- don't know what the results will be.. usually music involved.. Placebo's is just another word for Fool wakes up to Reality.
