Can’t argue with that

Self-Control and Emotional Mastery:

➡️ Self-control equates to strength.
➡️ Maintaining calmness reflects mastery.
➡️ Avoid letting others' insignificant actions affect your mood or life direction.
➡️ Ensure emotions do not overpower intelligence.

Pismo Gackle (POEM)

Little Black Gackle - Shore-billy Crow
Perched on the edge of the patio plate
High-top for eight, the center a grate with a broken glass fire
Fuled by propane, hidden within those three feet of pedestal
One point oh meeters above mean high tide, at the restaurant patio,
Seafood at the beach, fiberglass pirate, bloody mary’s and shrimp,
The cole slaw and sugar and mayo and beer, left at the table
could feed the whole flock, the gaggle, or mummeration.
Beak at the frenchfry - Swallow it whole
It’s not a soft worm, it’s tougher than that
Little black gackle’s little esophogus, hims poor little neck
But still chokes down more of the hamburger bun
Getting a taste from the grease
For the flesh of all mammals
Cold little eyes - beady black eyes
It flies to the top, two bitty flaps, it’s up there atop
Of the tinted glass windstop. Beyond, the Park entrance, the aggressive Pacific, tollgate, the dunes, and the beach you can drive on, drive on the beach - drive half a day,
Get up at dawn, up with the birdies, drive down the coast,
drive all the way
Down the coast highway to park on the beach
Pay the five dollars to park on the beach-
Pismo Beach, and all the clams you can eat.

I’m coming in on the ferry to San Francisco just now. Anybody going to the Giants game? Anybody doing anything fun in town? Anybody want to meet me for lunch or other social pass-timing?

I prefer the West,
My shoulders have dropped to my waist
I’ve got that long, squinting look on my face
It’s a smile, it’s a squint
a feckel,
I left my heart high on Tank Hill
you know the drill.
Say Hey,
The morning fog may chill the air. I don’t care.
When the lights go down in
  THE CITY
Homecoming, blood, say blood, I’m a coming home, she calls to me, Toast with an It’s-It / Anchor Porter float.

I think I’ll go crabbing down at the end of Muni Pier on memorial day and rekindle some personal memories from 57 years ago as I celebrate moving back to the Bay.

I think I’ll take the ferry over from my sister’s in Marin, have a walk about through North Beach and be at the end of Muni pier from around three till sunset
Join me we’ll get a snack. Have a laugh and catch up, if you’re looking for something to do.

Nebraska break line repair $300, dirty fries at the Dude’s Dance: priceless

I highly recommend Butch’s garage in North Platte, Nebraska the time a brake hydraulic line goes out in your Chevy Astro.

Find local businesses, view maps and get driving directions in Google Maps.

Interesting second day traveling across the country to relocate to the Bay Area, stopped tonight in a very familiar looking rest stop about midway in Nebraska & Iowa on highway 80. You can take the George Washington bridge to the bay bridge in San Francisco and just go 80 80 80, 80 80, 80 80, 80 80, 80 ,80, 8 and then and I’m back home where I started while the home where I spent 27 years is being sold. The old van has almost 240,000 miles on it, is weeping brake fluid, and the headlights are sort of hotwIired, it rattles and leaks and squeaks like an old work truck, but cousin George says this Chevy V6 motor is famously reliable . I picked up a hitchhiker young man today from Kentucky, a very unique soul, the man really lives in the moment. I gave him a backpack. I had some clothes then treated ourselves to an outback steak dinner Wednesday night deal. Got a care package at a weird regional truckstop called K*m & Go, Rolling to***co and papers, fried chicken, a big giant can of Heineken and left him at the interstate on ramp after a few hours of holy esoteric conversation.  apparently one can get by with nothing with no worry if you just don’t… worry. Me being generous was his gift to me. Sometimes the world provides exactly what you didn’t think you were looking for. He smelled strong. He had nobody. Didn’t really have a destination. But what an example of living in the moment, not the past or the future. I think I might get a Volkswagen microbus camper van from a friend all the way back from my junior high school days who’s got a business in San Luis Obispo for the third act. I’ve been very sad going through this divorce leaving my lovely little house and being without my beautiful sons, and of course, the most beautiful girl in the world, but I’m looking forward very much to living with my sister in Marin county and doing theater projects with my friends in Southern California and rekindling the friendships with my northern California people, family, and friends. Over the last year I’ve been everywhere Jack, Spain, Canada, Mexico, zigzag the Continental USA, bloodied but unbowed.  no more predictions on I’m gonna do this and I’m gonna do that but I think things are going to be all right. I love all you all.
