Here is a page with info about a condominium building where I lived in Cape Canaveral, Florida, when I was a kid, in between sixth and seventh grade, the Wind Jammer condos...

http://cocoabeachcondogallery.com/cocoa-beach-condo/windjammer/

I had a step father who was a supervisor on the Space Shuttle, and so when the Space Shuttle program went from the Antelope Valley to Florida we went with the Shuttle program.

We lived right on the beach in Cape Canaveral, it was awesome. The whole experience was like being on vacation the whole time we lived there. 

Salute,

Tony V.

The enemy is out to destroy all that is good. Evil is against us. All of the good paying union jobs disappeared, and now everyone is on opiates, and people are over-dosing left and right. People need to get off of the opiates, and people need to be able to earn honest money by working a respectable job.

When I was a young adult everyone was on meth, and now it is opiates.

People need to get off of the drugs, and people need to have self respect.

We need to do things such as opening a movie studio in Anaheim, and we need to manufacture automobiles in Van Nuys, and we need to get our high speed trains built, which will make for a nicer experience for the tourists, and we need to do other things to help our economy. Also, we need to make our immigrants legal, so that they are not afraid to call the police in the case of an emergency, and so that they can legally work and join unions, etc. There are many things that we can do.

And we need to get the growers in Afghanistan to grow cotton instead of opium poppies. And we need to make opiates harder to get.

We need to stop busting people for marijuana, marijuana is now legal here, and they need to stop the flow of opiates. And you can smoke marijuana until you are blue in the face and you will not over-dose. Marijuana is safe and helpful, we need to make marijuana cheap and plentiful, like wine, wine is great.

Anyhow, we need to create more jobs, and we need to get people off of the opiates.

Salute,

Tony V.

Here is the house where I lived in Malibu... It is a nice house, and I loved living there.

http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/6315-Gayton-Pl_Malibu_CA_90265_M15737-07387

There are some good photos of the house on that page.

You had to go through two security gates to get to our house, it was very safe, and I used to sit in our rose garden overlooking the ocean and I would watch the Bald Eagles fly. 

And we had a huge dance room, and the whole neighborhood came to our house to do Yoga. 

I loved living there. It was a blessing to be able to live there.

I rented a room from the ex-wife of Sammy Hagar's family doctor, he had a lot of famous patients. 

They remodeled it, when I lived there it was six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, with a large dance room.

We had a nice fully stocked wine cellar too. It was great.

It was such a blessing to be able to live there.

If I was wealthy I would buy the house. 

Salute,

Tony V.

Anaheim selects new city flag from more than 100 community submissions

http://www.anaheim.net/CivicAlerts.aspx?aid=1269

-----------------

I do not know about the new flag, it does not really represent Anaheim, but it is okay, and if you have the symbolism explained to you then you can kind of understand it.

Salute,

My district representative here in District 3 in the city of Anaheim attended Harvard, he seems to be a pretty smart guy.

Gov. Brown Signs Landmark Bill Ending Bail for Defendants Awaiting Trial in California
POSTED 1:07 PM, AUGUST 28, 2018, BY TRIBUNE MEDIA WIRE, UPDATED AT 01:13PM, AUGUST 28, 2018

https://ktla.com/2018/08/28/gov-brown-signs-landmark-bill-reforming-californias-bail-system/

-------------------

California is attempting to make our justice system more just. They want to eliminate one's wealth from being a deciding factor in our justice system.

While I respect what they are trying to do, I do not know if it will work. Bail, and bail bondsmen, have helped to make sure that people show up for their trials, guys like Dog the Bounty Hunter have helped to make sure that people show up for trial.

We could have punishment for not showing up for trial, such as adding extra time to your prison sentence for not showing up for your trial, or something like that, to make sure that people show up for their trials. There are things that can be done to help make sure that people show up for their trials.

California is the first state to adopt this new policy on bail, and the whole world is watching California, and if it works in California then you can expect other states to follow suit.

Salute,

Tony V.

On the bright side, the food will be going to feed the children for their school lunches, etc. I fully support feeding the children healthy food at school. And I support every program that helps to feed hungry people.

Africa / Re: Africa

I met a black guy at a party who was from South Africa, and he said that under apartheid he would not be allowed to attend a party with white people. He said that racism in South Africa was really bad. He got a film made by Steven Spielberg, "Amistad," and he invested all of his money in McDonald's fast food restaurants in South Africa, and he hired his family to work at his restaurants to help his family. He smashed any notion of blacks in South Africa as being lazy, or being poor at business.

My thoughts on Africa, including South Africa, is that they can benefit from the rise of China, and they can do trade with China, and they can work together on projects, etc. The Chinese are not racist against the blacks, nor the whites, and there is no history of racism between China and the Africans. The Chinese can help Africa a lot, including South Africa.

Africa, and South Africa, needs to forget about the past and Africa needs to move into a good new future with China.

There are always going to be racists on both sides with the blacks and the whites, and people who want power will fight the two sides against each other to gain or retain power, progress has been made, but there are still problems, and the Africans are not going to have those problems if they focus on relations with China.

And people need to hear more success stories, to stomp out the notion that blacks in South Africa are incapable in any way.

Salute,

Of note, if the immigrants from Venezuela, and from Colombia, etc, cannot get into the USA, for whatever reason, there is also France, Italy, and Spain, which are good, prosperous, safe places to go to.

Hundreds of Millions in Funding Remain Unspent Amid Mental Illness Epidemic Among Homeless in L.A. County

https://ktla.com/2018/08/19/hundreds-of-millions-in-funding-remain-unspent-amid-mental-illness-epidemic-among-homeless-in-l-a-county/

---------

The voters in California voted multiple times to help the homeless and the mentally ill, and now the money is there, and programs need to go into action. And lots of new jobs will be created for more social workers, and others, to help the homeless and the mentally ill.

And the fastest way to get people off of the streets and into housing is to put them in group homes, with services tied in to the group homes.

Salute,

Do you look at forum headings at all??

There used to be a forum heading "Food Matters," where we could discuss food, we discussed recipes, and restaurants, and stuff related to food, but that thread is gone. So, this thread has nutrition in the heading, so it is okay to discuss food, in my humble opinion.

Do you see a better thread to discuss food on?

I met Nick Vujicic at the Anaheim Film Festival back in 2010, he starred in a short film titled "The Butterfly Circus," it is a great short film, and Nick is awesome. Nick was born with no arms, and no legs, but Nick still believes in God, and Nick lives a good, full life, and he is happy.
