Was $25, now $19.99 blue smoke special at Mac’s of Palo Alto, our oldest professional purveyor of sundries and community. Official NBA license. According to Ron Kroichichik in today’s Chron, B1 jumps to B9, Steph Curry and the 21-5 Dubs will play this week on the road as if they had stocked up on CBD recovery products at Mac’s, following the flounder in Philly. You cannot bet on it per se, but you can play scratch off at Mac’s and albeit indirectly support our schools. The Chron is $2.

“A few years ago when I painted it over five days I saw three people,” said Foster. “It was quiet and mysterious, a magical place. Social media has turned it into a must-see experience. People picnic all over it, leaving litter in their wake. Excessive tourism can destroy a place.”
This somehow makes me want to read Wallace Stegner, “All The Little Live Things”. Also my Germanic yogi friend translates the surname of leading social media Sauron as “sugar” “mountain” which got me thinking of “Big Rock Candy Mountain”, Harry McClintock, Burl Ivez, “Oh Brother Where Art Thou” and back to Stegner (“…lemonade springs”).
Artist guy was on cover of PAW today which knee-jerked me into accusations of pay to play.
oMy first job out of Dartmouth was breaking down toy advertisements for elements and then trying to match those elements to the toy sales chart. I just wrote a brief memoir on such to the Youtube account of something to do with Hasbro and mentined Dartmouth schoolmate Brian Goldner who named another Dartmouth ’85 – they were both a year ahead — as his successor. I recalled that The Dartmouth wrote a story about Goldner as GM of the radio stations forcing WFRD to go commercial not free format and the dj’s revolted. But Youtube or that account took it down seconds later, I think. And this is middle of the night. Then I posted “Fuck off’ and then as a reply to that “Brian Goldner, RIP”. But it gave me a warning message. The other ’85 is Rich Stoddart or Stoddard — someone I met recently knew both those guys. Scott Anderson whose sister Kara or Cara went to Brown, I met thru the…wait for it..Rock Love people. Hey kids who rock and roll rock on. Actually I just notice that Charlie Hunter in his version of “Royals” by Lordes had a riff from Gordon Lightfoot sundown I think its a shame when I get feeling better when I’m feeling no pain. Marsh McCall also feeling no pain I think produced a live action version of something like this, with Shaun Cassidey or David Cassidy Ruby and the Rock-its. He was in Standard Procedure who played once at 13130 Byrd as Marsh and The Mellows. I tried to get Adams and the Ants.
And its slightly unresolved that i claim I boycott social media but post so much to WordPress.
