Peter, Paul, Mary,and Tied Dyed Clothing

.
I always thought the Kennedy's states on the Right Coast were liberal, second only to San Francisco. But I think this beach is right in there with them.

Oregon has it's very own PBS Station and last week aired four full hours of Peter, Paul, and Mary. I never realized they had sung so many songs. You probably have heard them all, and likely liked most of them, but I was never their fan. They are at the top of the liberal list, and this State loves them.

This Land of Honolee loves President Obummer. He was an overwhelming favorite by an incredible 87%. We have Martin Luther King Boulevards everywhere even though we have only a 1% Black population. And we celebrated Rosa Parks and Cesar Chavez' birthdays.

Few here drive foreign cars, wear make up, brush their teeth, or shave. A saying here is that the police have difficulty identifying corpses due to the lack of dental records. Many of the 65 and older crowd are stuck in '65 and still smoke dope, and wear tied dyed clothing of all sorts. Folk music seems to prevail, with Country a distant second. Weekend street fairs are eveywhere selling home made jewelry, musical instruments, home raised veggies, and Quail eggs.

One of the biggest funerals ever in Eugene occurred when a homeless person died in his sleep on a chilly night a few months ago. And at a town hall meeting that I attended last month, most people seemed to favor additional funding of homeless shelters over funding the jail system.

And during the construction of our home, twice a heavy equipment operator stopped his $350hr excavator to rescue a lizard from the shovel and hand carry him to the safety of the lake.

Finally, with tonight's local news, I learned that this State does not believe a human life begins until the newborn takes it's first breath. Therefore, the lady that lured a pregnant woman to her home through Craigslist, killed her, then cut her unborn child from her womb to keep it for herself, only to have both mother and child die, can not be tried for the double murder.

Where have all the flowers gone? So far, I am safe at the Thought Dock. But if any of you know where I can get a used cannon from Army surplus, I'd surely be interested. I have just the place for it.
