That's Groovy!

    It was 1969, I was in the 6th Grade and a few popular expressions at the time were,"Groovy", "Boss", "Totally Bitchin'!"  If it ,"Ruled" then it was top notch.  I was old enough to consider dating and I had learned chivalry.  Etiquette was more than spoken about, it was practiced.
    There weren't city-wide gangs roaming the streets. There was a very small Police Dept. in Chula Vista.  They were trusted, respected and really a friend.  Everyone knew "Officer Bob", once he even wrote my mother a ticket.
    Milk was only a nickel at school.  And back in the day, we all walked to school and back home.  Often taking short cuts accross pastures.  On occassions, a stray cow would wander into our path.  Now days, how many kids can say they feed some grass to cows while walking to school?
    I can remember when radios and TVs were stylized as furniture.  Automobiles had only AM stations, FM was for talk.  The newest thing in sound to come along were 8 track cassette players.  A few of my childhood memories go way back.
    Television was broadcast only.  We could get Channels 6 (XETV-ABC), 8 ( KFMB-CBS), 10 (KOGO-NBC), and sometimes on a clear day or at night - a few stations from L.A.  UHF finally had PBS, Channel 15.
    Channel 6 broadcast "Bozo The Clown" from Tijuana, Mexico.  Our family went south when my older sister, Christine, was invited to tap dance on the show.  And I was chosen to be in a commercial with the Big Guy himself!  Maybe you saw it?  Bozo and I were in a Rocket, (I was seated with Bozo behind me) and flying across space.  I had a tiny bell and one line.  I said, "When it's Bell (potato chips), it's swell!"  Then I rang the bell.  Pretty cool stuff for a 6 year old.

Blog Glob

This posting will probably be unfocused and hence the title, "Bolg Glob."
    Here, we are just trying out a fresh file.   It's OK to file your nails, too.  The hope is to avoid the "nails on chalkboard" effect this blog may present.  It is also desireable that no one should fold, staple or other wise abuse any thing which is not physically manifested.  No one promised this would be exciting.  Any representation here of intellence or talent, by persons or zombies, is not intended.
    Why don't we start a chapter of, "OccupyInternet?"  Isn't most of the money now day's in the Internet?  All those advertising dollars, and the internet grows bigger and wealthier all the time.  Has any one ever researched exactly how money is electronically traded accross the medium on a daily basis?  What if the whole world stopped using the Internet for one week.  The impact on the economy would be nothing less than spetacular!
    Are the .com days really the last frontier?  To some, it's the Goose that lays golden eggs. Why not silence the internet/messenger? A real bargan with a 2 for 1 deal.  Wouldn't we all resort back to the vocal cords as the best means of communication?
    People in the 60's & 70's got along just fine without the www dominating the world.  In jouralism, trust was not implied by the jouralist.  Walter Cronkite, Jr. had real integrity.  Does the Internet have the same verasity?
    I was fortunate to have worked for nursing school credit at the San Diego Schweitzer School.  Isn't what he believes in real!
"Reverence for Life" says that the only thing we are really sure of is that we live and want to go on living. This is something that we share with everything else that lives, from elephants to blades of grass – and, of course, every human being. So we are brothers and sisters to all living things, and owe to all of them the same care and respect, that we wish for ourselves." - Dr. Albert Schweitzer
