The closest that I ever came to being “Catfish-Burned” was when I ignored the signs, while fishing along “Hot Creek” in Mono County, California…..jajajajajajaja

Some of us thought that we were “cool” because we were accessing “The Well” and “BlackPlanet” long-before “MySpace”, “Facebook”, etc

“The earliest Santa Claus had horns and a tail (a more subtle imagery representing virility than a penis). If I showed many early drawings of Santa, I would be banned from social media.” ~ Michael B. Parlor (Fall 1996 with Carl Nelson on “Front Page” - KJLH 102.3 FM - Inglewood, California)

The Arthur Ravenel, Jr. Bridge opened in July 2005, and I still have never seen it. However, while sailing stolen (uh, I meant borrowed) College of Charleston sailboats, I have taken lots of photographs of the long-gone Cooper River Bridge….jajajajajajaja.

I wish the world were truly happy
Living as one
I wish the word they call freedom
Someday would come, someday would come

Here is John Joseph (“JJ”) Leonard – USMC – LAPD (RIP) and Luminary Author James Ellroy discussing their “LAPD History Go-To”.

JJ claimed that I was his “Go-To” while Ellroy claimed that Glynn Martin was his “Go-To”.

I always told JJ as I do most-----“I Know Nuhtzing”…..jajajaja.

I have thousands of photographs to remind me of what no longer exists. It has been a long time since any recording artist has struck such a nerve with me. Luminary Songstress Emily Scott Robinson has knocked it right out of the park.;

Marie Briggs (RIP) and Ralph T. Briggs (RIP) used to spoil-the-heck out of my two offspring. He sent several telegrams warning about the impending Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor.

Interestingly, all of those telegrams “mysteriously-disappeared” after the so-called “surprise-attack.”
