    We made the drive over 17 many times to the beach in Rasta Cruz. Cut a few school days to chill at the beach.  I do have the finest Pioneer High School education the tax payers can buy.

    I do not remember it.

    It was a coffee house, where all us hipsters hung out,  I haven't been back to SC since 84.

    Saw them in '86 in Mountain View, CA. It was their reunion tour. Almost everyone who was ever a Doobie was there.  I remember there were 4 drum sets on stage.

    They are home town boys from San Jose where I grew up.

    Patrick Simmons also came on stage in Santa Cruz in '82 to sing one song (Crank It Up) with a band called The Dregs off an album called Industry Standard.

    That was my stomping grounds for a short time. Good times!

  3. I went to the market to pick up a few things, I noticed a lady obviously under distress,  sobbing while her small children looked at her , sadness in their faces.

    I asked what could I do to help?

    She pointed to the cart full of groceries and said she was ready to go through the checkout line but she couldn't find the $200,00  she has put in her purse before leaving home, it was the only money she received since the lock down orders,  her cupboards were bare and she had children to feed,

    Well I couldn'tlive with myself if I didn't help her, so I opened my wallet and gave her $50,00, 

    What else could I do, after finding thatv$200,00 in the parking lot it was the right thing to do!

  4. Great performance all the way around,  brings back memories of my misspent youth, I saw Free August 22, 1969, 

    They were the first act,  followed by Delaney,  Bonnie and Friends (with Leon Russell and most of the Mad Dogs, from Cockers Mad Dogs and Englishmen tour) then Blindfaith,  ,

    But it was the 90 min jam with all three groups after Blindfaith finished that is still a legend to those who saw those shows the three bands did. 

    The police finally cut the power to the stage at 1:45am (show started at 7:00pm. 

    One of the few things I did right in my wild days...

  5. This is more of a mind trick,  I played on my grandson when he was 6, 

    I asked  him what one plus one is,  of course he said "two."

    I said not always, he didn't believe me, so.....

    Then I placed one drop of water on a saucer and said, what is that?

    One drop of water he replied. 

    Then I dropped another drop of water on the first one and said some times one plus one just means a larger one.

    That kept him confused for the rest of the day.

    Another version,  ask some one what one plus one is,  then place one drop of blue paint into one drop of yellow ,

    Tell them apparently one plus one equals green
