Ay, Carumba.......

Yesterday I spent a large portion of the day just being really ticked off.  First it was the chemtrails.  In your face stripes in the sky.  I am now full blown obnoxious as far as talking to other humans on this issue.  I spoke with a man on a corner who had a US Air force polo shirt on, and he unhesitatingly responded to my feigned ignorance of what these things were by telling me they were from jets because we are near an airport. After a back and forth discussion involving my questions like " Why are they crisscrossing and paralel to each other? or "Why is this happening everywhere even in the desert where the air is not so cold or over the ocean or the Arctic " etc. he had a knee jerk response to absolutely every question I posed., I finally told him about the whole chemtrail thing. He said he would look into it. In other words there was no real communication with this individual. He really was sold on the contrail paradigm. Then I just went home got my fliers I give out which I purchased from someone who makes them in Olivenhain CA,  and started handing these things out to people on the waterfront. The key is to say, "I am giving out information today". Instant response is "thank you"!  They had no hesitancy at all in taking and reading. So now I know the magic word..... Information.......

The next thing that bothered me was that I found out yesterday from talking (again, to a perfectly wonderful perfect stranger) that the "projects" were all going to be demolished and townhomes put in their place. This person said that hundreds of families would be then displaced and homeless.  Thank God that MYTH was dispelled hours later when another person told me that they will all be placed accordingly. The problem remains however as the entire fabric of their lives will be changed as if people are easily displaced and re-placed. Wow. Makes you wonder why they are built in the first place if they are so expendable.Does the word itself "project" denote some sort of experiment?  In what --- How to give then take away?  To tell those who cannot support themselves that they are not worthy of shelter?

And then I wonder in this economy, who will be able to afford these townhomes which have a price tag well above the 1/2 million dollar mark? So the disparity of the haves and the have nots is glaringly painful in this neck of the woods, as it is getting more so as the days and years march into the future.

And the last thing that really angered  me  was that Whole Foods is charging 3.50 for a bunch of dandelion greens. Nothing else went up in price from winter to spring except these greens.  Weeds, which grow and bloom all year round have the highest price tag.  Time to grow some weeds.
