Wouldn't you think I would be able to fix my damn e-mail listings? How hard can it be?
It's not like I'm asking to go up in space here.
Here's what I would like. I want to pull up my e-mail names, and have them all listed FIRST NAMES FIRST. I don't want some of the names first name first but all of the names first name first. I address all of my friends, but one, using their first name. When I write to my cousin Lynne I look in L, not C. When I write to Wanda I look in W, not S. I send mail every day. So, this is an issue for me, every day.
My address book has a choice of name order, I get that. I have it selected the way I want it. So why does the 'send-to' list come up mixed? I've done everything I can think of to fix this. I know what will happen if I check my HELP section. I'll find a solution, fix my e-mail, and the blog will get screwed up.
A San Francisco Supervisor named Scott Wiener.....yes wiener, introduced a bill that would ban public nudity in the city. The bill passed yesterday by a 6-5 margin. According to the bill people will still be able to run naked in the Bay to Breakers race, isn't that grand. Oh, they can also go to the Fair.
"The legislation exempts nudity at private beaches, private property and permitted special events - like Bay to Breakers or the Folsom Street Fair - and doesn't apply to children under 5 years old. Violators would be fined $100 for the first offense and $200 for the second in a 12-month period. Convictions under the proposed law wouldn't result in a sex offense, but a third offense could bring a $500 fine or a misdemeanor."
How does the city expect these people to pay the fines? They don't have any pockets. Where would they keep their wallets?.....no, don't even think about that.
The City, it seems, had a problem with naked people expressing their "free speech" on buses, in restaurants, and on city streets....FREE SPEECH?
Were they talking with their privates? I'll soon be 64 years old. I've been around, I was a child of the 60's. I have never heard a talking penis or vagina. What "free speech"? The nudists are complaining about freedom of speech and expression. So, how about this naked people, wear some damn pants. Maybe the only expression others want to see is your smile.
San Francisco, it was pointed out, has always led the country in "different."
One of the supervisors who voted against the ban was concerned about police resources, two others, personal freedom.
"I question whether this rises to the level that it should be a priority," said Campos, who worried about police resources being diverted from violent crime to naked men and women.
Olague and Avalos said they were concerned about the restriction of personal freedom.
"Sometimes there's a little weirdness about how we express ourselves, but that's a great thing about San Francisco," Avalos said.
Having pink or blue hair is weird, standing on a corner with a penis hanging out is just plain wrong. A few people demonstrated inside the chambers, several removed their clothes after the vote. One of the men who spoke against the ban said, "The legislation sent the wrong message. It's telling people they should be ashamed to be naked, and that's totally wrong." His name, Stardust......and that's all I have to say about that.
Our hair shampoo is HEALTHY HAIR.....yesterday I noticed HEAL THY HAIR.
Is this really interesting? Or, once again, is it just me?
How did I miss this? It's too late now. The White House had two turkey's displayed on it's Facebook page. Gobbler and Cobbler were their names and feeding the hungry on Thanksgiving was their game. People were asked to "like" one or the other for the holiday meal. I heard five thousand plus "likes" were counted. I don't know if the turkey with the most likes won, or lost.
Seems to me if the most "likes" won then he would be the meal, which isn't great for the turkey. If the one with the least "likes" was dinner, wouldn't they (the first family) be eating a loser? Surprise.....both Cobbler and Gobbler are going to be killed and eaten.
Just kidding. They will both be taken to George Washington's Mount Vernon Estate and Gardens to live in special enclosures. Much better than the chopping block if you ask me.
Back in 1977 or '78 I did an internship at KFRC radio in San Francisco. On the day before Thanksgiving, hey, just like today, much of my writing was centered around the holiday and food and family. I did a phone interview with the director of the S.F. SPCA about alternate main dishes on Thanksgiving. We went on and on about vegetarian meals, sparing the birds and all. When we exhausted the subject I closed out.
"One other thing, I said. Off the record, what main dish is your family having for Thanksgiving?"........a long pause before he said, "Turkey."
There you have it boys and girls. Have a Happy Thanksgiving. And remember, it's one of the few times throughout the year we are supposed to get together with family so be nice. And give thanks for what you have. If you are reading this, it's a Hell of a lot more than most people.
.....and I mean you have a computer. Not how enlightened you may be reading me.
