Due to the wonderful amount of rain this year then we can count on beautiful wild flowers in the desert this spring. People flock to the Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve every year to view the poppies. I suggested to Mayor Bass that there be Homeboy Industries and Homegirl Industries Food Trucks to sell food to the the people who come out to see the poppies, in order to raise money to do Social Work, and also there needs to be lots of Public Toilets. Even just having carts selling Hot Dogs and Ice Cold Lemonade to raise money to feed the needy, etc, or burritos with horchata, etc, or burgers and Coca Cola, etc, bottled water, etc. In Rome, Italy, there are food trucks and food carts at all of the attractions, we need to do the same thing here in the USA, and they can raise money to do Social Work, etc. 

Also, a new Apartment Complex just opened in Lancaster, California, for the homeless, the complex is designed cool, it is sort of Mid Century Modern, and it has 80 apartments, and I reminded them to add swimming pools and tennis courts and libraries to all of their projects. Parks are also important, people need green space.

And in Lancaster the Joshua Trees need to be preserved and they need Parks to be established to save the Joshua Trees. In the whole Mojave Desert we need to work to save the Joshua Trees, we need huge Parks to preserve the Joshua Trees.

And as always we need schools, and Lancaster needs a Medical School like the University of California in Irvine Medical School in Orange.

Salute,

Tony V.

In Tehachapi there is a former YMCA camp that has a running mountain stream on the property, and we used to drink the water straight out of the stream, I was in charge of the water for the camp, we had a catch basin with a pipe running to a big water tank, and then from the tank the water flowed down hill to the camp, and it was gravity fed and we went from large pipes to smaller pipes to build pressure, etc. Anyhow, the camp is gone now, but the Mountain Stream is still there, and that water could be bottled and sold to raise money for charities.

Saint Jude's Children's Hospital, and Kiwanis International, and others, could sell Bottled Water at the Convenience Stores, at 7-Eleven, and Circle K, and AM-PM, etc, and they can get the water from the Mountain Stream at the former YMCA camp in Tehachapi.

We could all support a good charity when we buy Bottled Water.

Salute,

Tony V.

I once drank running water in the outdoors, and became violently ill.
Unfortunately there was no Youtube in those days, where gals and guys could show me 'survival in the wild' tricks.
Remove bra, cut in half to obtain 2 cups.
Place one bra cup over small 'billy' [metal can with loop handle]  "and he sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled, you'll come a waltzing matilda with me".

Scoop up the running water with small container, pour water into bra cup.
Bra cup filters the water...then place billy on top of 3 stones gathered ...over fire made with twigs and paper...boil water.
Cool, safe drinking water in the great outdoors.
No bra, maybe use spare shirt from backpack.

Does it say more about your boobs or your sense of humor?

I don't have 'man boobs'.
Sense of humour is in the eye of the beholder.

My great outdoors, no thank you.
Too hot, too wet, too windy, too miserable, too cold.
Gotta wear hat with gauze mesh to keep the flies and mosquitoes at bay.
Would have to wheel along a trolley full of 'comfort gear'.

Hiking to Patagonia...is best done from the comfort of my villa.

It must be quite the place if your villa is spacious enough to contain your boobs.

Sad people are dying in the Gaza war, including aid workers.
Aid workers are very selfless people.
It's a war zone, bombs falling everywhere, the terrorists and all their supporters in Gaza still won't release the Israeli hostages they kidnapped during their savage and murderous invasion into Israel Oct 7.
As a result Israel has to keep invading and bombing Gaza to kill or capture the Hamas terrorists and their supporters, to get the hostages out and eliminate Hamas in Gaza once and for all.
Aid workers risked their lives, and paid the ultimate price.

Armed criminal gangs, of Palestinians most likely, are hijacking aid in Gaza and selling it to the highest bidders and giving it to their friends, reportedly.


US Gen Jack Keane is on Sky News now;

"The West should be thanking Israel", on the scroll thru.

"IDF eliminates terrorism mastermind".

NBC:

Not safe anywhere now': American jews are flocking to gun training classes

"We can't put down the phone without picking up the next one," said a rabbi in Los Angeles who runs a nonprofit group that offers firearm training to the Jewish community.


#####

Same thing is happening in Florida.

Guns are great for self defence from home invaders or anywhere in society the bad people are lurking/pouncing.
Jewish folk in Israel who were armed by the female security officer in their community...gunned down the invading terrorists from Gaza, ...and all the Jewish folk survived.

from the NBC article;

.......  ...... has always been terrified of guns. the Orthodox Jewish artist and mother felt uneasy about her husband's decision to buy a handgun after they moved to Florida from New York last year.

"i would just block it out of my mind that it's in the house," ......, 26, said.

But after watching the events unfold in Israel, she's taken steps she never imagined herself ever taking. ...... attended a gun safety seminar at her synagogue last week followed by a one-on-one session at a local shooting range.

"Even at the range, I just wanted to drop the gun and run back home," ..... said. "I was so scared, and I'm terrified of it."

But she said she felt forced to do it because Jewish people are not safe anywhere now."

Well there you go.
And she's 100% correct.

Why? They are human with proportionally the same propensity to passion and anger as any other group you might name.
