Bear creek was the scene of my Huckleberry Finn childhood. Perhaps more Tom Sawyer than Huckleberry. I think Freddy Kramer was Huckleberry. He taught us all of our childhood sins.... most of which took place under the trestle near 23rd st. Leaping from the bridges, smoking cigarettes, collecting dirty magazines etc. pot and acid came later.

“I don’t even understand why the parents rushed the field like that,” she told the newspaper. “People are, like, crazy.”

Massacre in Massachussetts is more "catchy-sounding" than Connecticut Easter Egg hunt Massacre 2016, but use what is most descriptive, accurate, and "now" if you want the public's short attention.
Since a bit of the attention of Taco brethren is focused on the Donner-Reid/Donna Reed-Family Stone parties, we should look at another of the Great American Migration's well-advertised fiascos.

Historians have ascribed the massacre to a number of factors, including strident Mormon teachings in the years prior to the massacre, war hysteria, and alleged involvement of Brigham Young.
Further news of the weird.

Just one question. Did you rope up or down?
Well maybe two, or a dope?

When I picked up an order for a breakfast burrito at the Cinema this morning, there was a sight for sore eyes.
I thought this gent looked a lot like donini.
Not knowing the actual donini, he (his name is Rich) could not say much when I told him it was a big, big compliment.
Stefani, having breakfast with him, said that she knew a rock climber here; and he played in a band and sewed stuff.
Automatic answer: Mark Tuttle of T.O.E.
It's a small town. There are still a lot o' folks in a small town.
It's a big world. What are the odds of running into anyone, really?
BTW, I've had cataract surgery, in effect, when they cleaned out the metal fragment from my right eye.
I have a plastic lens implant which is gonna last the rest o' my time here on the planet, I figure.

I think the big tree in the upper right is a jasmine tree. It never seems to get any flowers though. Maybe it's all the marijuana growing underneath it.
One of the neighborhood coyotes used to take a nap on the porch, so some weed was installed in order to get him busted. I don't know if it worked, but he hasn't been seen or heard from in a long time.
