DEAR CALIFORNIA PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS,
BEWARE !!, OR THE STATE MAY DO TO YOU AS IT DID TO MY FATHER , AFTER MORE THAT 35 YEARS OF TEACHING AT SAN JOSE STATE !!
HE DID NOT DESERVE SUCH A STAB IN THE BACK FROM THE STATE.
AND HE CERTAINLY DID NOT EXPECT IT.
HE WENT FROM CHOOSING THE BEST DOCTORS IN THE AREA, LIKE EYE DOC (SP?) IANTOSKA,,,TO THE MEDIOCRITY ONE USUALLY FINDS AT KAISER, OR WORSE !!
I TOOK MY SISTER IN FOR MIGRAINES AND FIBROID TUMORS TO KAISER ONE DAY WHEN SHE COULD NOT DRIVE. SHE WAS IN SO MUCH PAIN , THAT SHE CURLED UP ON THE WAITING AREA FLOOR IN THE FETAL POSITION ,CRYING, FOR ALMOST AN HOUR, AND COULD I GET ANY CONSIDERATION OR TRIAGE FROM KAISER ? FORGET ABOUT IT. A VERY CLOSE FRIEND BROKE A RIB IN A NIGHT TIME BATHROOM-WALK FALL IN THE DARK,,,ONE LUNG WAS PUNCTURED,,,HE WAS TAKEN TO KAISER,,,AND SOON DIED OF A NASTY HOSPITAL INFECTION.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

NEW NATIONWIDE CAMPAIGN TO BAN THE USE OF IDENTICAL LOOKING 3s,6s,8s, and 9s !!
Fellow American comsumers !,
Aren't you tired of squinting at you atm bank receipts,,,and your cash register receipts,,,and the newspaper,,,and the magazine,,,EVERYWHERE !!, and wasting time and effort to see the difference between THE SAME OUTLINE of 3s and 6s and 8s and 9s ??!! This style of font numbers is not so offensive, but most ,especially associated with computers, are !!
So lets start a nationwide demand to our legislators and businesses that we want more legible/readable number fonts/styles used in most public commerce. I am not talking art: it can be as obscure as they want.
I noticed SAVE-ON STORES used a hard to read style of numbers, so i wrote a complaint -suggestion form. Their employee, Donna F. , of Idaho said that it was impossible to change the style of numbers they use. I talked to my bank, BANK OF THE WEST, and the Burlingame, California manager said probably nothiing could be done to make their chosen style of numbers on their atms and receipts more readable. Do not give up ! If we all ask , maybe something will be done for the benefit of all of U.S. !!

KQED, WE GIVE YOU $$$$$ MILLIONS ,EVEN THO YOU HAVE GONE TO PAID COMMERCIALS, SO WHY DO YOU NOT WANT TO TAKE OUR TELEPHONE SUGGESTIONS ?!
DEAR FELLOW BAY AREA 88.5FM -KQED LISTENERS,
I USE TO GIVE YEARLY TO KQED. NOW WE HAVE SEVERAL TV-RADIO PRIVATE AND NOT REALLY PUBLIC-GOVT STATIONS CONSTANTLY BEGGING FOR MONEY IN THE BAY AREA. ADMITTEDLY, THE PROGRAMMING IS USUALLY BETTER THAN THE MAJORS LIKE ABC, CBS, NBC, AND FOX. BUT SOME OF THESE STATIONS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE AND JUST RE-BROADCAST OTHERS PROGRAMS WITHOUT CREATING ANYTHING ORIGINAL ,OR VERY LITTLE, FROM THE CULTURALLY RICH AND DIVERSE COMMUNITIES OF THE SF BAY AREA. AS FOR KQED, I MISS THE LOCALLY PRODUCED "NEWSROOM" SHOW FROM THIER EARLY DAYS.
RECENTLY I TELEPHONED KQED TO SUGGEST MORE DISCUSSION ON THE 2004 ELECTION INSTEAD OF GHOST SITES IN THE USA. I RECIEVED 3 STRANGE VOICE MAILS THAT WERE IRRITATED THAT I WAS BOTHERING THEM DURING REGULAR BUSINESS HOURS, THAT THEY WERE NOT SET UP FOR LISTENER-VIEWER INPUT UNLESS YOU COULD GET YOUR CALL ANSWERED ON THE AIR,THAT MORE VOLUNTEERS WERE NOT GOING TO HAPPEN, THAT WITH A BUDGET LIKE $60 MILLION PER YEAR THEY WERE VERY RESTRICTED, THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE TIME TO ARGUE OVER THE PHONE (??),AND THAT THEY DID NOT DO POLITICS ANYMORE(BOY, I BET ALL THE WEAK AND WORSE LOCAL ELECTED OFFICIALS JUST LOVE THAT!!),,,ALL OF WHICH SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING FROM A MAJOR COMMERCIAL MEDIA CORPORATION, THAT DID NOT BDG FOR AND TAKE IN $ MILLIONS FROM THE LOCAL PUBLIC RADIO LISTENERS AND TV VIEWERS.
SO I AM GLAD I NO LONGER CONTRIBUTE TO KQED, IF IT CHOOSES TO BE SO DISINTERESTED IN AND IMPOLITE TOWARD IT'S LOCAL AUDIENCE,,,AND DOES NOT WANT TO DO LOCAL POLITICS WHEN IT DID COVER IT WELL INITIALLY. I NOW KNOW HOW TYPICALLY CORPORATE AND PRIVATE BUSINESS KQED IS. I WILL NOT CALL EVER AGAIN TO COMPLIMENT OR SUGGEST A SHOW OR TOPIC IF THAT IS THE WAY THEY FEEL...I LISTEN TO THEIR COMMERCIALS, AS I HAVE TO ON THE MAJORS,,,WHY ARE SO MANY AMERICAN COMMERCIALS STUPID AND INSULTING AND ANNOYING , LIKE THE" DITECH" ONE , AND SO MANY OTHERS !??,,,SO I DO PAY FOR KQED THAT WAY. TOO BAD THEY DO NOT SEEM TO APPRECIATE US OR HAVE BETTER MANNERS. MORE OF THAT JUST- BUSINESS-AS- USUAL- US ATTITUDE,,,SAD, CONSIDERING WHAT KQED COULD BE, COMPARED TO OTHER SUCH STATIONS.

WHAT THE HE-LL HAPPENED TO CALIFORNIA?!
WE USE TO BE IN THE TOP RANKING OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS JUST 20-40 YEARS AGO,,,AND NOW WE ARE DOWN ON THE BOTTOM,,,
CAN'T JUST BE THE DEM OR REP GOVERNOR'S FAULTS,,,ALSO THE STATE LEGISLATURE, EH ?
WE USE TO HAVE 30-40 YEARS AGO THE BEST MAINTAINED HIGHWAYS AND LANDSCAPED EDGES, AND NOW WE HAVE FOR 3-4 YEARS IN A ROW THE WORST ROADS IN THE USA,,,
WE USE TO HAVE A GOOD STATE BOND CREDIT RATING,,,BUT NOW WE ARE DOWN THERE WITH THE LIKES OF LA AND NY,,,
BEFORE SANTA CLARA VALLEY BECAME SILICONE VALLEY, THE MAJOR POLLUTION WAS THE 1600S OLD MEXICAN-SPANISH MERCURY QUICKSILVER MINES OF ALMADEN LEAKING INTO THE S.F. BAY,,,THAT THE CITY OF SAN JOSE AND THE COUNTY OF SANTA CLARA AND THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA STILL DO NOT WANT TO FIX AND CLEAN UP,,,BUT NOW WITH ALL THE EARLY SERIOUSLY TOXIC CHEMICALS OF THE EARLY COMPUTER INDUSTRY THAT HAVE LEAKED INTO THE GROUND WATER TABLE, THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER SAYS THIS AREA HAS THE GREATEST CONCENTRATION OF TOXIC, TOXIC, SUPERFUND SITES OF THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES !! AND YET HOUSING PRICES ARE ALMOST AS RIDICULOUS AS SAN FRANCISCO,,,,AND THE TRAFFIC IS NOT SO BAD WITH SO MANY UNEMPLOYED AND LEAVING,BUT IF IT WAS A HOT ECONOMY THE POOR TRAFFIC PLANNING WOULD MEAN A CAR PARKING LOT TO WORK,,,AND BART IS SUCH AN ENGINEERING AND GOVT FIASCO OF A FAILURE, CONSIDERING IT IS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO BEING CUTTING EDGE TECH--WE SHOULD HAVE JUST PLUGGED IN A BULLET TRAIN--AND THE OUTRAGEOUS COST TO OPERATE THIS BASTARD SYSTEM,,,
THE STATE POLS ARE GIVING AWAY OUR WATER RIGHTS AGAIN,,,GOING FROM PUBLIC TO PRIVATIZED=FAILURE,,,TO PUBLIC AND NOW BACK TO SELLING OUT PRIVITAZATION OF THE WATER THE STATE CONSTITUTION SAYS BELONGS TO ALL CALIFORNIANS,,,

WHAT IF THE REPUBLICAN AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAD SECRETLY MARRIED?
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE DNC AND THE RNC ?
NOT MUCH, IF ANY,,,
CLINTON WAS FOR "FREE TRADE",,,AND SO IS BUSH 1 AND BUSH 2,,,
AND LOOK WHAT A TERRIBLE DEATH SPIRAL THAT HAS US IN ?!?
FIND ME ONE NATIONAL REPUTABLE LAZY- POLITICIAN WHO CAN TELL US WHERE WE ARE HEADED IN 10 YEARS, 20 YEARS, 50 YEARS, 100 YEARS,,,REMEMBER, THERE IS NO FREE LUNCH,,,
ALL SMOKE AND MIRRORS,,,LIKE THE LAST GREAT U.S. MYTH, THE COLD WAR, THAT BENEFITED THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL CONGRESS COMPLEX OF EISENHOWER'S FAMOUS WARNING,,,AND LEFT US SOCIALLY AND CIVILIZATION- WISE IN THE DUST OF WESTERN EUROPE,,,
SO WHAT IS THE PENALTY FOR VOTER FRAUD AND ELECTION FRAUD AND ALL THE BAD STUFF THAT GOES ON ALL THE TIME IN THE U.S. THAT THE BLUE STATE VOTERS ARE TOO FEEBLEMINDED AND FOOLISH TO WANT TO LOOK AT ? WHAT , A MISDEMEANOR ?
A FEW YEARS AGO, WHAT 2000, THERE WERE NEWSPAPER REPORTS OF S.F. BALLOT BOXES FLOATING IN THE BAY OFF S.F. THE DAY AFTER TO ELECTION,,,
AND DIDN'T GENERALLY HONORABLE FORMER PRESIDENT CARTER SAY RECENTLY THAT GORE WON FLORIDA IN 2000, IN HIS OPINION ? BUT GORE DID NOT ASK THE 10 VITAL COUNTIES FOR A RECOUNT,,,HE JUST ROLLED OVER,,,
AND THERE WERE NOT ENOUGH VOTING MACHINES IN OHIO AND KERRY COULD HAVE CONTESTED 10 VITAL COUNTIES AND PROBABLY WON,,,BUT HE ROLLED OVER,,,
BOTH EDWARDS AND DR. DEAN WERE MUCH MUCH BETTER PULIC SPEAKERS THAN KERRY,OBVIOUSLY, BUT THE DNC CHOSE THE WEAKER
POSSIBLE CANDIDATE, SENATOR KERRY,,,
WHY DID THE NATIONAL MEDIA KEEP THE SWIFT BOAT ASSOC. STORY ALIVE FOR WEEK, AFTER WEEK, AFTER MONTH,,,,IF IT WAS WORTHLESS,,,? AND THE SWIFTIES WERE CONS FOR THE RNC ?
MOST PEOPLE AND MOST MEDIA DO NOT WANT TO LOOK INTO THE DARK DIRTY LITTLE CORNERS OF THE 2004 ELECTION,,,,WHY ?
EVERYBODY CAN'T BE THAT SMALL "C" CHRISTIAN BLUE,,,
THIS ISN'T A CHURCH-STATE YET, IS IT ?,,,!!

DID SAN JOSE POLICE OFFICERS CIRCLE THEIR CRUISES AND SLEEP ON THE JOB FOR HOURS?
BACK IN THE LATE 1960'S I WENT FOR A RIDE-ALONG WITH A SAN JOSE POLICE DEPARTMENT OFFICER,,,AFTER A FEW HOURS OF CRUISING THE WEST SIDE OF SAN JOSE, WE PULLED BEHIND A SCHOOL ON THE ASPHALT PLAY AREA AND JOINED A CIRCLE OF SEVERAL OTHER POLICE CRUISERS,,,MY COP SAID THEY WOULD SLEEP AND ONE WOULD STAY AWAKE ON THE NIGHT SHIFT TO LISTEN TO THE RADIO,,,I SLEPT AND IN A FEW HOURS THE COP DROVE ME HOME,,,
SO THAT IS WHY WE PAY THESE S.J.P.D. OFFICERS SO MUCH !

DOES THE N.P.S. COVER -UP BUILDING ARSON FIRES INSIDE YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK?
I WORKED IN YOSEMITE FROM 1974 TO 1984, AND THE FIRST TWO YEARS AT THE OLD CURRY VILLAGE MOUNTAIN SHOP. I BELIEVE THAT THE BUILDING WAS TORCHED,I DO NOT KNOW BY WHOM, BUT THAT THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE AND THE FEDS HAVE NEVER DONE A PROPER ARSON INVESTIGATION, BUT WRITTEN THE FIRE OFF TO SQUIRRELS CHEWING ON ELECTRICAL WIRES,,,
HERE ARE THE FISHY FACTS,,,THE RETAIL DEPT HEAD FOR THE CONCESSIONAIRE( CALL IT THE "CON"),THE MAJOR BUSINESS CONTRACTOR IN YOSEMITE COMES IN ONE DAY WITH THE NEW ARCHITECTURAL DRAWINGS OF THE NEW MT. SHOP AND CURRY CAFETERIA AND GIFT SHOP. HE SAID THEY NEEDED N.P.S. APPROVAL TO GO AHEAD.,, AFEW DAYS LATER , I HEARD THAT N.P.S. HAD SAID NO TO THE NEW BUILDING PLANS.,,, THE MANAGER OF RETAIL CAME IN AND SAID THAT N.P.S. DISAPPROVAL DID NOT MATTER AND THAT THE CON WOULD GET ITS WAY. AGAINST THE FEDS AND THE N.P.S.,,,?!?? NO WAY!?,,,WEEKS AND MONTHS PASSED AND THEN THE SHOP MANAGER CAME TO US AND SAID HE HAD ORDERS TO OVER -ORDER NO JUST A LITTLE BUT 200-300 % OVER LAST YEAR, FOR THE YEAR,,,BUT WHERE ARE WE GOING TO PUT ALL THIS CAMPING GEAR AND CLIMBING GEAR AND QUALITY HAND MADE ITALIAN PIVETTA HUGE SIZE AND MODEL VARIETY OF QUALITY--NOT CHINESE--BOOTS AND "GO CLIMP A ROCK" T-SHIRTS,,,??? IN THE WAREHOUSE,,,???,,,WE WERE TOLD , NO, ALL WOULD BE STORED IN THE MT. SHOP, EVEN IN THE AISLES,NOT JUST THE ADJOINING SMALL STORE ROOM,,!!,,,WHAT, THAT IS CRAZY!,,,WE WERE TOLD TO JUST DO IT,,,
THE ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF MERCHANDISE WAS ORDERED AND DELIVERED TO THE VALLEY WAREHOUSE AND THEN TO THE MT. SHOP,,,WE COULD BARELY MOVE IN THE STORE BECAUSE THE PLACE WAS PILED HIGH AND WIDE,OVERSTOCKED FOR SURE,,,THEN AND FEW NIGHTS LATER, A FIRE STARTED AND BURNED DOWN THE MT. SHOP AND ALOT OF THE NEARBY ADJOINING BUILDING COMPLEX,,,I WAS TOLD THE CON WAS PAID THE INSURANCE FOR ALL THE YEARS PLUS MERCHANDISE AT RETAIL,NOT WHOLESALE COST,,,SO THE CON JUST ORDERED MORE SUPPLIES AND MADE AN ENORMOUS PROFIT THAT YEAR OFF THE BURNED STUFF AND NEW STORE STUFF,,,I KNEW THE CON'S FIRE DEPT WAS A JOKE, FULL OF A BUNCH OF AMATEURS, JUST LIKE THE GARAGE THAT ALLOWED TOW TRUCK DRIVERS THAT HAD NO TRAINING AND NO BUSINESS BUT DID WORK ON MANY PRIVATE AUTOS WITH BAD BRAKES AND OTHER PROBLEMS THAT PROBABLY ONLY WERE MADE WORSE BY THE INCOMPETENTS THE CON USUALLY HIRED,,,I HAD JUST BEEN PASSING THRU WHEN I WAS HIRED,,,
THE MT. SHOP WAS REBUILT JUST LIKE THE CON WANTED,,,AND I WAS NEVER ASKED ABOUT THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF WHAT WHEN ON BEFORE THE FIRE/ARSON BY THE N.P.S. OR THE FEDS OR THE F.B.I. ,,,BUSICKNESS AS USUAL,,,,
I KNOW , SOME OF YOU BLUE STATERS ARE SAYING , NO , THE N.P.S. COULD NEVER NEVER NEVER LAND DO SOMETHING SO CONTRARY TO PRIMARY POLICY OF PROTECTING THE PARK AND PROVIDING FOR THE PUBLIC'S ENJOYMENT OF THE PARK,,,NOT THE SAME AGENCY THAT A FEW YEARS AGO SUGGESTED BUILDING A MULTI-STORY PARKING GARAGE IN THE VALLEY,,,OR THE SAME AGENCY THAT NOW PROPOSES TO REDUCE ACCESS AND LODGING AVAILABILITY BY TAKING OUT THE NORTH SIDE DRIVE AND TAKING OUT THE LESS EXPENSIVE ACCOMMODATIONS AND CAMPGROUNDS LIKE UPPER RIVER AND LOWER RIVER IN THE VALLEY SO THAT MOSTLY THE RICH WILL HAVE YOSEMITE TO THEMSELVES AND WONT HAVE TO SEE OR DEAL WITH THE GREATER GERERAL PUBLIC,,,NOT THE SAME AGENCY THAT JACKED THE ENTRANCE FEE FROM $5/CAR TO $20/CAR IN ONE MOVE THAT WILL KEEP MANY LOW AND MIDDLE INCOME PEOPLE AWAY FROM ENJOYING THE FIRST U.S. PARK,SET ASIDE BY PRES. LINCOLN IN 1864/5,,,
WELL, WAKE UP BLUE STATE SINNERS,,,THE N.P.S. ALLOWED THE CON TO ONLY POST ROUND TRIP TOUR PRICES AT THE 4 VALLEY PICKUPS OF CURRY VILLAGE, YOSEMITE VILLAGE, THE AHWAHNEE HOTEL, AND THE YOSEMITE LODGE,,,SO WHEN THE PULIC GUESTS ASKED HOW MUCH A ONE WAY TICKET TO GLACIER POINT WAS SO THEY COULD HIKE DOWN , THE CON'S AGENT WOULD SAY THAT ONLY ROUND TRIP TICKETS ARE AVAILABLE,,,THE PUBLIC GUESTS WOULD OVER PAY BY THE $$$ THOUSANDS AND END UP NOT USING THE RETURN TICKET,,,WHAT A RIPOFF,EH,,,AND WHAT DID THE GOLDEN N.P.S. DO WHEN I WROTE THE SUPERINTENDENT THAT THIS WAS GOING ON ?,,,NOTHING, BUT PASS THE LETTER TO THE EXECUTIVE OF THE CON WHO HAD MY MANAGER CHEW ME OUT THE VERY NEXT DAY,,,IT WAS LIKE THE CON, NOT THE N.P.S. RAN THE PARK,,,WHY DID THE CON THEN GET TO DO THE $$$ HUGE PROFIT RAFT RENTAL AND SHUTTLE THEN, WHEN NO CON SINCE HAS BEEN ALLOWED TO OFFER THAT SERVICE ? AND THE NATIONAL PARK CONSERVATION ASSOCIATION GIVES WHAT ABOUT $60 MILLION PER YEAR TO THE N.P.S. AND IS SET ON GETTING "THE CAR" OUT OF YOSEMITE VALLEY ,WITHOUT ANY GOOD ALTERNATIVE, AND THE RICH WILL HAVE MORE ROAD TO WEAVE ON,,,WHAT, DIESEL BUSES,,THEY ARE SO DIRTY POLLUTION -WISE AND USUALLY GO EMPTY ON THE RETURN,,,I KNOW, I DRIVE THEM ALL THE TIME,,,

WELL, WAKE UP BLUE STATE SINNERS,,,THE N.P.S. ALLOWED THE CON TO ONLY POST ROUND TRIP TOUR PRICES AT THE 4 VALLEY PICKUPS OF CURRY VILLAGE, YOSEMITE VILLAGE, THE AHWAHNEE HOTEL, AND THE YOSEMITE LODGE,,,SO WHEN THE PULIC GUESTS ASKED HOW MUCH A ONE WAY TICKET TO GLACIER POINT WAS SO THEY COULD HIKE DOWN , THE CON'S AGENT WOULD SAY THAT ONLY ROUND TRIP TICKETS ARE AVAILABLE,,,THE PUBLIC GUESTS WOULD OVER PAY BY THE $$$ THOUSANDS AND END UP NOT USING THE RETURN TICKET,,,WHAT A RIPOFF,EH,,,AND WHAT DID THE GOLDEN N.P.S. DO WHEN I WROTE THE SUPERINTENDENT THAT THIS WAS GOING ON ?,,,NOTHING, BUT PASS THE LETTER TO THE EXECUTIVE OF THE CON WHO HAD MY MANAGER CHEW ME OUT THE VERY NEXT DAY,,,IT WAS LIKE THE CON, NOT THE N.P.S. RAN THE PARK,,,WHY DID THE CON THEN GET TO DO THE $$$ HUGE PROFIT RAFT RENTAL AND SHUTTLE THEN, WHEN NO CON SINCE HAS BEEN ALLOWED TO OFFER THAT SERVICE ? AND THE NATIONAL PARK CONSERVATION ASSOCIATION GIVES WHAT ABOUT $60 MILLION PER YEAR TO THE N.P.S. AND IS SET ON GETTING "THE CAR" OUT OF YOSEMITE VALLEY ,WITHOUT ANY GOOD ALTERNATIVE, AND THE RICH WILL HAVE MORE ROAD TO WEAVE ON,,,WHAT, DIESEL BUSES,,THEY ARE SO DIRTY POLLUTION -WISE AND USUALLY GO EMPTY ON THE RETURN,,,I KNOW, I DRIVE THEM ALL THE TIME,,,

soil amendment that works better than gypsum !!
A few years ago i was looking for a way to loosen the sticky wet poor-drainage clay soil of Santa Clara Valley,aka Silicon Valley,California. For over 40 years i had tried gypsum and steer manure and chicken manure and peat moss and redwood compost and ,,,mushroom compost,,,back when you could drive up to the commercial mushroom factory and they would give you a trailer full,,,One day i was in OSH, now owned by Sears and KMart, and asked an old-timer in the garden department what i should try. He said they had a new product in , SCHULTZ-PROFILE-CLAY SOIL CONDITIONER, and i should give it a try. The results were amazing, tho it costs about $20 for a 40#bag. I have done 4 of my family's yards now and highly recommend this soil amendment. I get no kickbacks. OSH has stopped carrying it, but it is aviailable at Summerwinds, and probably other places. Ask your newspaper garden expert to try it out. It vastly improves the tilling of the soil and makes weed pulling and hoeing so much easier. So you can buy gypsum and fertilizer and compost for 40 years and more,,,or you can try this new product. Happy gardening !!
