Let's get things started.[Click to View YouTube Video]
Can you match this?I wooden bet on it.I ran into another tiger tonight. By the name of Dwyer.
He isn't related to the Susan who used to work at/fun-run the used bookstore when I was there. But he knows them.
He's a rodeo announcer who was in the BS Computer store dealing with Kevin, the sponsor-in-the-main of our local Art Hop.
Kevin knew Susan. He worked at their holding down off 99 when he was in high school, haying or spraying, whatever they do on farms...
Stupid.

Happy Super Bore Sunday. I hope that I'll be watching it with Irene, and if not, then in the Mountain Room Bar. WTF.
I have no TV. It's why I'm here so much.
I love you. Good night.

To get back on topic, which if I am not mistaken is carz and carz clubs. When I was growing up in CV (no comments like, when are you gonna finish?) there was the smallest carz club around (3 members - 55, 56, 57). The name?
The Nomads, obviously. As to the other, I am 1/2 Finnish.
For the contest, name the three owners. Extra credit if you can match the names of with the carz.

Si, mon.
I was nearly "finished."
I only had to post these pages.
Jones and I arrived at Altamont on Friday, delivered from the clutches of a '56 Chevy, yellow, whose driver knew the backroads, namely Altamont Pass Rd. and N. Midway Rd. He delivered us to a scene lit by flames, fueled by Red Mountain leading the way, followed by copious other anti-inhibitional substances.
But Steve tells the story well, much better than the one who was there, because Steve bothered to work at gathering together so many different viewpoints. It's all connected. You'll see. Enjoy.
Then we can worry about Al Davis and his old Raiders, the Madden teams, MY OLD TEAM.
Whew!

The view from Potato Chip Rock in Poway. I have no idea who is standing there. I wonder if it could be the mysterious Mr. Potato Chip Head.

Poway?Otay.
If you say.
I knew Walt Frago. He went to school with my brother Mike.
The Newhall Massacre.
The Newhall massacre or the Newhall Incident was a shootout between two heavily armed criminals and officers of the California Highway Patrol (CHP) in the Newhall unincorporated area of Los Angeles County, California on April 6, 1970. In less than 5 minutes, four CHP officers were killed in what was at the time the deadliest day in the history of California law enforcement.[1]
At approximately 11:55 p.m. (UTC-8), CHP officers Walt Frago and Roger Gore conducted a traffic stop of Bobby Davis and Jack Twinning in conjunction with an incident involving the pair that had been reported to the CHP minutes earlier. After stopping in a restaurant parking lot and initially cooperating with the officers, Twinning and Davis opened fire and killed both officers. Minutes later, Officers George Alleyn and James Pence arrived on the scene and engaged Twinning and Davis in a shootout. A passerby picked up one of the officers' weapons and opened fire on the perpetrators; however, the three were outgunned and both Alleyn and Pence suffered fatal injuries while the passerby ran out of ammunition and took cover in a ditch. A third CHP patrol car arrived on the scene and the lone officer inside briefly exchanged gunfire with the perpetrators, but they were able to flee the scene.
Over three hours later, Davis stole a vehicle after exchanging gunfire with its owner. He attempted to flee the area; however, he was spotted by police and arrested. Meanwhile, Twinning broke into a house and took one of its occupants hostage. The house was surrounded by deputies of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and at approximately 9:00 a.m., he released the hostage and committed suicide when the deputies entered the house. Davis was sentenced to death but had his sentence commuted to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole in 1973. He killed himself[2] at Kern Valley State Prison in 2009.
The Newhall massacre resulted in a number of changes at the CHP, including procedural changes in arresting high risk suspects and standardization of firearms and firearms training used across the department.--Wikipedia
Walt has controlling interest in this pair, not the pair who are rumored to be breaking up over goofy mistakes that Minnie made or may not have made. Again.Variety is the price of life.
And death.zBrown is my friend, I'm proud to utter.
A stand-up guy, another old nutter.

You'd like to think they're in a maze,
They're just in a druggy haze.
Let's stop at "The Maze" (a real drug store on Main in the sixties).
They're so far from straight it can't be just a sudden phase.
La di dah dee-dah.

A ways from Poway, but the North Hollywood Bank Shootout was another stunning gun (stun gun you say?)battle. Tons of Youtube on this one. Here's a sample, if you're into firearms.

Some coincidence. My friend on the ST adds an owl to my sister's collection. If we ever get out of court, I'm gonna have to hitchhike up there to Merced to see it and actually meet someone on the old ST.
Is it near Argentina?

Brother. Uncle. Brother. Uncle.
I gave up at the office.
Vern is no longer employed by the Tioga Management team. He is now just a tenant. They left for Santa Cruz this morning.
I'm reading all day.
No. 1 Thumb Mountain Road by Hoh No Spocks.
Interesting man, that guy in the Morrison T-Shirt. We met up at the Partisan last night. He is named Eric, he bought me a PBR and we and another of his friends went and toured the Tioga, had a safety meeting on the Moussolini Balcony, and then retreated in the teeth of a cold wind.
It was a good day for clouds here.
I'm getting back on mine.
