How to control prices. The current president nor any president shouldn’t be blamed for inflation. No sir! This is done solely by the manufacturer or store where product is sold. So why do people believe the president raises or lowers the price on goods sold. Nope. Not at all. The president doesn’t work for GeneralContinue reading “Do you really need that?”

Latino extraordinaire 
Let’s just call her Julie. A 21-year-old Latina who was born in America to Mexican immigrants. She is now enrolled in a nearby four-year university on her way to becoming an interpreter for the deaf and blind. She should graduate in 2025 with a BA degree. And is bilingual. Fluent in both English andContinue reading “Latino extraordinaire ”
I love the smell of fresh pressed rubber tires.
The Golden State/Sooner State connection. Having grown up in a tiny house near a major industrial area in Los Angeles, we were just down wind from the B F Goodrich tire factory. Almost in the shadow of the Willard Battery water tower. Just north of the railroad tracks near the Union Pacific switching yards. AContinue reading “I love the smell of fresh pressed rubber tires.”
What a cool place to work Pops.
posted by Chuck Ayers The oil refinery. My dad told people he would meet he worked as a night supervisor at an oil refinery. However the oil he spoke of was soy bean vegetable oil. That and shortenings and margarines. Most of which went to large commercial bakeries. During world war II a bigContinue reading “What a cool place to work Pops.”
How about a buzz cut?
Just sit still Butch! Sitting atop several Los Angeles telephone directories and yellow pages placed on the seat of a dining room chair with an old sheet tied around my neck was our at home barber shop. The barber was my dad and his hand-squeezed hair clippers would be clicking up and down myContinue reading “How about a buzz cut?”
Woo Haa, what a guy
The candidate of the truck drivers and Roller Derby skaters won tonight.
Book Report.
Book Report To be quite honest, I have had enough of books bloviating about the wealthy and the very pretty. Women with thin yoga bodies. Independently wealthy men. Fairy tales of idealist privileged people with unlimited resources and above average education. Too many books out there including improbable scenarios such as CEO’s and their spousesContinue reading “Book Report.”
Wearing ‘Go to meetin’ clothes.
Okie fashion plate. It took my dad working two jobs in order to outfit my mom with her mostly church fashions. As mentioned my parents lived in a ‘third-world’ community in red dirt Oklahoma before immigrating to California. No electricity, no running water, and no indoor plumbing. All of this was missing before moving toContinue reading “Wearing ‘Go to meetin’ clothes.”
It should look like midnight inBolivia.
How could you do this? How could a person take perfectly good coffee beans and turn it into a mug of sludge? I know of some seemingly reasonable people who do this. They go to the trouble of having Bolivian coffee beans imported and roasted far away then shipped FedEx to them overnight and goContinue reading “It should look like midnight inBolivia.”
My Book Report.
posted by Chuck Ayers Book Report Before we get started on this book report, I would strongly suggest you obtain the audiobook as read by voice actor Kathryn Markey. She does a most credible job of replicating an Italian accent, Irish accent, French accent, a British accent, and of course, an American accent. Let meContinue reading “My Book Report.”
