woke is slowly restricting free speech and dictating what people should do and think, or else.)

You're even a clown in your parentheticals.

And clueless as to what woke means.  Since woke actually means more open to free speech about systemic racism and discrimination, it would seem to expand public discourse not restrict it.  People tend to be freer when they are awakened.  That's the whole point. 

This is social justice warrior all over again.  Take something that's a good thing to be and make using it sarcastically some sort of pseudo argument against it. 

Woke just means white people can't declare racism over without getting some dissent from those who are directly experiencing it or those who are listening to them.  And dissent, as the bumper sticker on my Honda says, is patriotic.

Poor Hawaii.

We cannot save what is already lost, but we can rebuild, and Hawaii can rise from the ashes.

The best pot I ever smoked was from Hawaii. My cousin had a friend who owned a yacht in Hawaii where he lived, and he owned the "U.S. Bong Company" and he grew pot in Hawaii and he sold his pot to San Francisco, and to Hollywood, and to San Diego, etc. They were selling a strain of weed named Puna Electric and it was the best pot in the world. That was what everyone was smoking in Hollywood back when "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" came out at the Drive In.

Hawaii can sell pot to San Francisco, and to Los Angeles, and to San Diego, etc, and to whoever wants the best pot in the world.

Hawaii can use the money from the pot to rebuild Hawaii.

Salute,

The only thing keeping you out of prison or off the streets. I know you enjoy it, but hopefully not for too much longer.

It will not be for very long at all if the rising generations have anything to say about it.

Your cohort offing themselves with guns, pills, needles, Covid, and more entertainingly through death by cop is certainly helping matters though you are all screeching like bitches on the way out.

Bambu is also scared of plumbers.


Indeed.
Shonky plumbers abound...they dig up half your yard, charge a fortune, and still don't fix fhe problem...that they could've fixed with a camera and minimal digging.

The shonks didn't get me...no1 morning radio host keeps us well informed...as do current affairs programs.

The Mental Health Association in Santa Ana is very wealthy, and there is no need for anyone to be homeless in Orange County anymore.

But, we need to look out for each other. Here is a story... I was living in a beautiful house with about 10 rooms and the lady who owned and ran the house was feeding us wonderful food, it was great, but the people had to work together to keep it safe. There was a mentally ill white guy who was going to stab a black guy from Ghana, and I had to save the black guy. I told the mentally ill white guy that the only voice that mattered was mine, and that the voices in his head did not mean shit, and I made him give me the knife. It was a nice house, with good food, and it was way better than being homeless, but we had to look out for each other to keep it safe, it took teamwork to keep it safe.

Tori Spelling could simply show up at the Mental Health Association in Santa Ana and they will help her and her family. Then, after she gets back on her feet then she can help the next guy, when Tori is rich again then she could help the next homeless family.

Salute,

Tony V.

Ventura County Star

Somis Ranch Apartments will begin leasing the first of its 360 apartments in November to farmworkers.

---------

Good to see new apartments being built for the farmworkers, and Ventura is nice, the workers can go surfing after work, etc. Lots of good strawberries come from Ventura, and other good food, we all win as they build new housing for the farmworkers in Ventura.

Salute,

Grand Announcement;

"It's 'Australia Week' in Vegas next March!

"NRL confirms four clubs for Sin City"...newspaper.

Part of the week will be 4 Rugby League teams from the Australian NRL playing their first game of the 2024 season in Vegas.
Not exhibition matches, these games will be for competition points and therefore very seriously contested.
Like NFL...but different.
80 footy players loose in Sin City...not too sure about that.
Could be 'trouble' if they're not kept in club groups.

Does it snow in Vegas in March?
Rain is ok, they play in the rain.

Vegas has nice weather, rare snow. Normally the weather in Vegas is real nice. Hot in the summer, with nice pools and air conditioned rooms, and a 24 hour schedule so people work at night, the casinos are all busiest at night. Should be nice in March. Vegas is nice.

Salute,

Las Vegas was my Grandmother's favorite city, she wanted to open a 24 hour dog kennel and dog grooming shop in Las Vegas. My Grandfather loved The Golden Nugget and he named his favorite race horse "Golden Nugget" and then we had "Golden Nugget Jr." they were beautiful race horses.

The Australia Rugby team might like the Golden Niugget...

https://www.goldennugget.com/las-vegas/

And it is like in Spain, they have dinner at 10:00 pm and they party all night. In Battle Mountain, Nevada, I worked at the casino from !0:00 pm to 6:00 am. And Nevada is full of Basques, they live a lot like the culture in Spain. Elko, Nevada, even runs with the bulls every year.

Nevada is a fun state, the Rugby players will have fun in Nevada.

Salute,

2 new movie studios are being built in Nevada, and lots of new tax breaks are being proposed to help to start a film and television industry in Nevada.

https://www.fox5vegas.com/2023/06/01/one-step-closer-movie-studios-being-built-southern-nevada/

They can make Westerns, such as making a series of films from the Slocum series of Westerns by Jake Logan.

I have some ideas for a few Westerns, one idea is for a Lawyer in the Wild West, like a mix between Clint Eastwood and Perry Mason, fast with a gun and smart with the law.

There is also an old series of books about Casey the stagecoach driver, and other old books.

Louis L'Amour and Zane Grey, etc, are also good writers but have already been over-done in Western movies. I think the Slocum Westerns could be more fun for today's audience.

Bible movies can also be made in Nevada. Lots of stuff can happen in Nevada.

Salute,

Tony V.

Every star should have some good investments, including restaurants, like Danny Trejo with his Tacos, Trejos Tacos is a very popular restaurant for tourists, he owns a few restaurants now in the Hollywood area.

Tori Spelling can have an ice cream shop like Baskin Robbins Ice Cream, and I picture Tori Spelling selling gourmet cupcakes, she can have a shop on Melrose Ave in Hollywood, and also on Rodeo in Beverly Hills. And she needs good agents and managers to guide her and she needs helpers, etc.

Salute,

Note to Vegas service industry, though they know this very well already, Australians do not tip and they tend to steal shit as if it were meant for them as a souvenir.

The stadium is adjustable to control for climate. The ruggers will be fine unless they test their limits the evening prior due to a total lack of professionalism and self control.
