motion
I've come to expect seeing strange things while driving. Moving forward. The motion I am in and when I see something standing still as I pass. In front of me making me change my path or slow down and stop. Moving in an opposite direction of me. Crossing my path going over me in any direction. The motion or non-motion catches the eye. This morning while driving a hairy black dog ran into my lane and stopped. It looked bewildered like it was saying: "Where do you come from. I didn't smell you here a second ago." It ran off into a dark parking lot. On my drive home. I saw a black square. It passed in front of the large freeway sign on the overpass. As it moved it blacked out the letters on the sign. That was how I saw the black square like a censor block. Black like the interior of a censer, without the fragrant soot. Like the bewildered dog asking why he couldn't smell my vehicle in the area a few seconds ago. A sensory rich morning drive. The sunlight being blocked by the motion of the earth. Inspired me to make the gray and black image above. Motion even if standing still we are in motion. Not that it means anything or has to. I thought it was worth sharing from the odd feelings created in me. I wanted to remember it.

Watched DeadPool last night.
It's been awhile since I've entered a movie theater. This was an interesting movie. The opening scene really captured the essence of a comic book. It was well done. It took you to strange places within the thought process. The one thing in the movie that stood out in my opinion was the shipyard scene. The ship they fight on and around made me think of the USS Cole. The police and God are not present in this movie. I didn't like the choice in music but that's just my opinion. I typically get the symbolism wrong and over imagine things.

State officials in Arizona and Utah told the Salt Lake Tribune that about 700 Short Creek households received a total of $7.2 million in food-stamp benefits last year.
a new low in Conjecture Journalism
A new low in internet journalism. I watched, in my opinion, a scripted video. Not surprising to easily find contradictory version of the story being told. What we are being told: a girl should fight physically. Boys should not attempt to defend themselves for any reason ever. You, the viewer, are stupid if you want details. You have to draw a conclusion with conflicting facts, and missing details. Pick a side and you better pick the right side or you will be eternally wrong, and left behind in the new Reich.
I remember in High School a teacher got a group of students to pretend like they were having a fight during class. She wanted to see how unsuspecting students reacted. She told the class I was in about the results from that previous class to make a point about what she was trying to teach us. I was hung up on the fact that she lied and tricked people in order to teach. I forgot the lesson the point of her lecture. I think it might have been how people take sides and form opinions, I don't remember. More important to me was she lied and admitted it with no shame.
The facts won't come out in this story. The details won't be made clear.

The video was apparently first posted by Australian jiu-jitsu competitor and teacher Kit Dale, who told the Index-Tribune that the girl in the video and the boy who shot it had contacted him and sent him the clip.
Still, it was no small coincidence that two incidents – both involving a female student kicking or kneeing a male student while he was on the ground – took place at the school in the same month.

Dale stated:
“I sent her a direct message and I asked about the video, ‘What happened and would you mind if I posted it?'”
When the Pope says:
"You aren't Christian if..." This should trouble people but it doesn't seem to. It should send shivers down the spines of the modern world. Instead it is allowed, tolerated, even encouraged. Breaking bread and saying this is my body should be the most edgy thing the Catholic clergy should be heard repeating. Talking publicly about who and what defines a Christian. Talking about being above the laws of a country. Talking about personal should's and shouldn't from the Vatican on down the hierarchy should zip their lips. The Eucharist. Do this in memory of me.

California PSA
This is a Public Service Announcement: The State of California has strict laws on lunch and break requirements. Employees must take breaks and lunches within specific time constraints. If you approach an employee and they tell you they are on their lunch break. It means they are not on the clock and working is strictly prohibited. The employee can be fired for working off the clock. Also the employee is not covered by insurance for work related injuries while off the clock. The law is very specific and particular.
Don't take it personal and get your feelings hurt.
Don't continue asking for help after the person tells you they are not on the clock.

A new tradition The Street Person Minute:
Distraught young woman seeking attention. This seems to have become a new custom in Hemet. Many of the regular run of the mill drug users in Hemet try hard to maintain a persona of just an average Joe. Going about their daily business shop(lift)ing. Like no one is supposed to notice they never buy anything. They even say please and thank you. Pull out all their best manners.
At the end of the video the cameraman gets comments from a street person. This guy has for many years hung out in parking lots offering to wash car windows for money. Since homelessness and panhandlers have become the darlings of the American public. Which is made obvious by how many people give indiscriminately to increasing numbers of panhandlers. I think the news channels should have a regular input from them on their stations. Find out what they think about things. A Random Street person minute. Maybe it will become a new tradition. Since his summary of what happened is the most accurate.

San Bernardino County bought brand new iphone's in 2014? Why isn't this an issue being talked about? A health inspector needed a latest technology encrypted phone? Where did the money come from? Why did he need a phone like that?
How did the purchase go undetected? Two years after the city filed bankruptcy? I know City/County two different entities. Something is odd.

Santa Ana River Trail San Bernardino to Martha McLean - Anza Narrows Park
Martha McLean was one of three women who saved the integrity of the Santa Ana River. The Army Corps of Engineers wanted to line it with concrete. Along the ride yesterday we saw numerous homeless encampments they seem to find the wild river an ideal habit. One thing is for certain they are thanking God for the drought. They are living inside the river banks. Numerous articles have been written in the local news lamenting the plight of these street people.
Anyone interested in taking up a collection to have a Darwin Award ceremony for them and the politicians and bighearted humans who dearly love and care for these individuals?
Later up the river I saw a group of regular city folks playing and picnicking down river from these encampments. I wonder if the same people who care deeply for the street people camping along the river care to alert the people down stream to beware of high levels of human excrement and possible drug paraphernalia in the water?
The bike ride was fun and easy. We had a BBQ and nice time visiting. The parking lot flooded when someone backed over a hose bib. The Park Ranger couldn't shut off the water main, because I'm guessing he didn't have the key to the pump house. I'm sure there was a reasonable explanation for why the park ranger parked and sat in his vehicle and watched the water flow full blast.
Jack in the Box being built in slow motion in real time
According to the article this J in the B application process began in 2007.
2008 approved
2012 ground broke building built to completion
2016 there is a new building surrounded by dirt no paved parking lot no drive thru. It's like Dorothy's house landed in Oz. Just plopped down in a dirt lot. When I drive by at night there is a car parked near the building in approximately the same spot. I assume it's Glenda waiting for Dorothy and the munchkins to arrive on set. The politics of Riverside County are the pulse button on an electric blender. Bursts of frantic noise and subtle motion dependent on the duration of direct pressure.
I will have to get a picture of the odd setting, but I usually pass by at night. My camera won't take a decent night image. This building needs to be seen in the daylight. I have a feeling the picture won't equal how strange it looks in real life. I feel like the neighboring business, a seedy looking low pitched roof motel with a neon no/vacancy sign, plays an important role in the mood creation. It gets my full attention each time I pass. There has to be a reason. Angels versus Demons? An ancient curse on the land? A time machine malfunction? Could it have been built faster than the speed of light and my earth bound vision is not allowing me to see the future that is completed until I catch up?
The formal application was filed with Riverside County in 2007, and Menifee assumed jurisdiction when the city incorporated in 2008.
Orange County developer Ray Forsum said he would like to begin construction in early 2012.

Not the nature of nature.
A few days ago a conversation was started about "The World Getting Worse". I was trying to convince a woman who made the statement (the world is worse) the world has always been as we see it now. She said she had been alive longer and knew better. I said I read history books that show repeatedly the horrible things people have done. The speed and ease information is spread and the speaking of a common language can make things seem worse, along with the blending of truth and lies. Being shocked or amazed by revelation can feel overwhelming but human behavior is reactionary and unpredictable and there is no stable state that can be created by mankind. It is not the nature of nature.
In the 1970's McDonald's made a commercial jingle 'McDonald's is Your Kind of Place' and it was parodied. I don't know how anyone heard the parodied version(s). There wasn't the Internet of today. Anyhow my point is somehow it made it out into the world. Below are a few videos. They sum up real potential in humans. Potential, the word, can be used to proclaim a high hope. Likewise it can mark a new low. Whichever end of the spectrum's boundary is breached potential resets and waits for new growth in both directions.
This is the parodied version of "McDonald's Is Your Kind of Place" I heard.
McDonald's is your kind of place
Hamburgers in your face
Pickle relish up your nose
French fries between your toes
Ketchup running down your back
I want my money back before I have a heart attack

ATM
I lost money in an ATM recently. I had to file a report with the banking institute. Now I wait to see what they determine. I wish society would take on the advancement of customer service. The quality of customer service is the by far the most important aspect of any business. Problems occur, however the amount of aggravation created by poorly trained customer service representatives is 100% avoidable. I am waiting to resolve the money discrepancy and after will decide whether I continue as a customer with this financial institute. I've had an account 40+ years with this bank. The poor quality exchange I had to endure from one of their employees, I'm ready to close all my accounts. It's easy enough to determine when employees don't fear repercussion from management which only means one thing. They are all friends and will back up each others stories regardless of the circumstances. This is a red flag in any type of job.
This is how I see it: Managers who hire half wits they can control so they don't have to worry about job security. Their job security. They know the underlings won't be capable of promoting. They encourage their bad manners and poor people skills. Fully aware of their abrasive demeanor. This indicates layers of irresponsibility that has been allowed to continue unchallenged. I'm talking about beyond meeting quotas and filling out paperwork. Personnel allowed to represent a company with a bad attitude is telling a bigger tale on the office dynamic. Stay far away from companies that allow this type of insanity. Filling complaints and going above their heads doesn't work either. Just stay away.

quirk quark
A strange communication quirk I've noticed. When a person tries to clarify something which isn't apparent. It usually is received with a sarcastic comment. There are many variations of how this plays out. I recently was asked to help a phone customer at work. I located the item. Back to the phone I took down the necessary information. The caller said the person would be in the next day to pick up the item. Okay so this is where the quirk begins. The employee who answered the phone originally was male. I took the call and only asked what item was being sought. I didn't know who was calling. Often times people call to hold an item for someone other than themselves, or have a different person pick up the item for them. I got the customer name. I didn't know the relationship of the caller to the person picking up the item. Since there are operating hours that different from store to store. I mentioned the store hours for the store I work, for the day the customer would be arriving. The caller said "Yeah I know, we all know!" Followed by a haughty laugh. I thought I was extending a courtesy because customers have been sent by employees that didn't clarify our particular hours. They arrived after the doors are locked. Anyhow the quirk is subtle and to me it indicates a blind spot of awareness that is difficult to remain in a present state of mind when dealing with other people. It's an interesting place to be put into and try to remain thorough.

Facebook people mining
I decided 11 months ago to get a Facebook account. It was really convenient to mindlessly post this and that. As per my typical online experience it is never as dynamic as I hope it will be. When signing up for Facebook you go through and answer various questions. In particular the birth date selection. It is a standard choice of the common 12 months. The day selection is 1-31. The year selection is where you step into the murk of the internet. It lists 1905- 2016. Once Facebook decides they want you to prove your identity, they ridiculously request a copy of your birth cert. I don't know anyone born in 2016 who can type, and I don't know anyone born in 1905 who is still alive. A free service asking me to prove my identity. I'm not sure what is more amusing. Asking to prove my identity to use a free service, or that Facebook gives a crap about me as an individual. If some of the people I encountered during my Facebook period are in fact verified real people living and breathing...I don't even want to finish my thought on that.
I hope they enjoy their people mining venture. Won't be finding this rare element me.

The Church apparently isn't following protocol. This needs to be fully investigated by the each separate Diocese as well. There are serious breeches of the security going on here. He would have had to go through finger printing and several certifications to be allowed inside a Church building.
Every Church that took him at face value is committing fraud and should be immediately closed until they can be fully audited to make sure anyone and everyone that has access to parishioners has been vetted.
