Very nice. I was pretty sure I saw some light in the 'ced, all the way through this screen.
I shouldn't be particular, but they kinda look half converted already. The modern puffy jacket is kind of a giveaway.
Maybe next time teach them to hitchhike. Catch a ride with them to the Valley.
Happy travelers...
Darkness? Keep kickin' till the sun remembers it's due to rise.

Let's hear it for an image of Nita in her helmet, alright.
The streets of Otay are filled with trouble
Aged vatos are everywhere
I would almost think I was seeing double
When someone dissed my placa on the schoolyard stairs
Orale!

Looks like good stuff.
In the 70's, things seemed to be a bit more, ummmm, hairy. For better or worse, maybe the preferred reform school, had the bird for president.

How does that wall translate? Every direction I look at it, in front or behind, it still definitely puts me on the outside.
Edit edit: Mr mouse. Like you said the kids will be alright. Happy ventures.

Let's just call it not another brick in the wall Jim C.
I wonder if "under employed" bangers could be pressed into service to keep USA safe from those "Brown" hoards at the southern border.

Hope you aren't the suspicious type, not too worried about cover ups. Familia y generaciones. Ciclos, cierto asi el sol.
Some seem to age out. For some I've met, that meant 20+ years in the hole, and 6 decades until they're no longer considered dangerous.. Growing up, fast...
In reality, I think we have deported "the problem" when we can. Instead, put some money into building cities, give some a view of something other than institutional sized walls? Good schools, healthcare, pharmaceuticals for the inner cities? Ha. something like that.
blah, blah, blah, I ain't no ones padre. Hold you kids close, maybe los de su vecino mas cerca these days. Y mas cerca
edit: unemployed bangers in positions of authority? get some binoculars, keep a safe distance, and check out RJ Donovan in your backyard. Word on the street is its a place to go to find a fix. Ain't no culos on main line big enough to meet that demand. Couldn't survive it. Gangs among the guards!? People on the other side of the tracks would be better to be more learned.

There really are some good people working to keep people safe on all sides. To be trite, some lose hope. Prison reform and rehabilitation may have been made more difficult by the overcrowding associated with mass incarceration. Um... yeah. They really are getting out, prepared for the change?

hey there, say... timid...
as to this, your quote:
you will be glad you did... one little 'stone' out of place, and
one little fall = what, 1,000 in medical?
not worth it, at age 60, >:D<
good for nita!!
Now that I'm 60 Nita insists I wear all the personal protection and it does feel a bit safer. Like old school rule, the leader must not fall, same thing for skateboarding after a certain age and certain broken bones.

T'wouldn't be Wright. Nawmean? [Click to View YouTube Video]
While engaged with some fine Boont stout at the Public House, I went outside and found next door at Coffee Bandits a band of two, drum and guitar, who are part of a group known as Catbamboo.
Pretty loud, but only a scant few people there to listen. Pity. They were very good. Rocked the place, I thought.

I finally made it to the Partisan, which is totally unlike the old club, except for the back doors.While having a Black Butte porter, my buddy Derek said hi and bought me another.
Well, Keith, it was worth it.
And the life on the street continued on in all its splendid aspects.

Did they check your ID?
DRE?
Then Chris met RJ Spurrier on a climbing trip in the Wind Rivers in 1999. What was originally planned to be just one-time self-publishing experiment took a sharp turn in the direction of the internet.
RJ, a software developer and former VP of Marketing for Adobe, had spent a few years kicking around the idea of internet climbing guides on his own. When they met, RJ and Chris realized that the SuperTopo format, which received such a great response in print, would have an even better response on the web. In printed guidebooks, authors are limited in the amount of detail they can include on any individual route by the size, weight and cost of books. On the web these limitations vanish and a new world of possibilities for innovative and detailed color climbing topos is opened.
In July 2000, SuperTopo released both its first print guidebook, Yosemite Big Walls: SuperTopos as well as its web site supertopo.com. Since then, we've released SuperTopo guidebooks in eBook and printed formats for an increasingly wide range of climbing destinations.
We hope you have a chance to take a look at one of our free downloadable SuperTopos to get a sense of our new climbing route information format. If you do, please tell us what you think—we'd love to hear your thoughts!
The founder of SuperTopo, Chris McNamara, has been an active supporter of the climbing world and outdoor activities for more than 15 years. Chris is the founder of the American Safe Climbing Association (ASCA), a non-profit which has replaced more than 5,000 dangerous climbing anchors and bolts. He's also the founder of OutdoorGearLab, which was originally the climbing gear review section of SuperTopo, and the consumer electronics review website, TechGearLab.
Got baby? You might also enjoy visiting BabyGearLab, the sister site of OutdoorGearlab, which was uses a similar side-by-side comparison process and technology (by RJ, the same web developer who keeps SuperTopo running 24x7 and wrote the software behind OutdoorGearLab).

This burg has begun reverting to what the nuns here called an "open city." Except most of the shops downtown are no longer open and renovation is the keyword. The Merced Mall is now on the official federal POS list, too. I never go there any more.
And J&R Tacos is as good as anyplace north of Trump's Wall.
He-e-e-ere's OSCAR!!!!!I was saddened to hear of Mel Pruitt's passing. Mel owned "Mel's Old West" just west of Planada, famous for blues jams, fish fries, and twenty-five cent beers (limit three).
Among others.
So it goes.
Hi ho.
