Here's an interesting factoid: for the first time in many years there was a cop car right behind me at a stop. The cop was close enough to read 2004 on the tag if I still had it but just days before I got the new yellow 2009-2010 sticker. Close call, huh? Somebody up there likes me, I guess. Getting pulled over with no insurance, no registration and an expired driver's license could have been awkward, to say the least.

Had to resign to get the pension refund. The sub desk said no problem, they will reinstate me. Just waiting for clearance from the personnel director right now. Then its teaching once in a while and mostly just taking roll and handing out assignments. I'm very used to the routine, but it would be nice to get more genuine assignments.

It's all good. You can teach even when it's not in the official "job description" - just get those young guys and gals engaged in some conversation!

I pulled out $5,000 in the late 70's from a former public plan. I was able to buy back 6 years of service in the 90's for $17,500. Glad I did. The best investment I've ever done. :)

Welcome back!
Cool place. Do they still have the stuffed wild boar mounted on the wall?

When I learned that Joan Baez was in love with Bob Dylan, he gained a lot of stature in my eyes...

Didn't see the stuffed boar but they did have a wolf pelt on the wall. I really like that place; been going there since I was a kid. Made from an old airplane hanger. The cod is delicious. About a mile from Tecate, Mex. There is a long history (by California standards) to that area because of the nearby lake. People used to ride out there by horseback before the car era.

Dylan's stature stands or falls with his songs. Not with his personal life. He sort of invites the audience into his personal life but it is an illusion - art. That's what artists do. I knew a hippie once who traveled the West Coast from San Diego to Alaska playing banjo and guitar for his bread. He described Dylan's eyes as piss holes in a snow drift. Sour grapes? Maybe. Probably. But he was the most charismatic person I ever knew. Tried to be a regular guy once and got a teaching credential - almost. Suffered a heart attack. Last time i talked with him he was living on a house boat in Oregon. Complained to me he couldn't get a "relationship" going, i.e, he needed to dip his wick. He wasn't particular, any moist V would do. Said if nothing happened soon he was headed for Alaska. There is something odd about people like this, it's almost like they aren't there, nothing behind the eyes. Piss holes in a snow drift.

Was probably thinking oif a different place, the Dulzura Inn? On a forested curve in the road, south side? I used to bicycle out there in the late 1950s--early 1960s. Tecate was just out of my range, although I did bicycle-push up Stonewall Peak in 1963 (got a lift to Cuyamaca), then coasted most of the way back to Bonita.

No, not the Dulzura Inn. Barrett Junction Cafe. On the north side, no forest. Been there since 1946.

The Perfect Gigt for PMS

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '[')b]On GPS, Bob Dylan Might Guide Lost Drivers Home

Bob Dylan: folk-rock legend, poet-spokesman of his generation . . . and GPS voice?

Maybe. The enigmatic troubadour said on his satellite radio program that he is negotiating with two car manufacturers to be the voice of their in-car navigation systems. Insert your own Dylan-lyric pun here about "no direction home" or "there must be some way out of here" or "how many roads . . . ."

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '
')On his BBC radio show he gave listeners a preview of his would-be GPS vocals: "Left at the next street. No, right. You know what? Just go straight."


Funny! Let Bob Dylan guide you to your doomstead when bug-out time comes !

All kidding aside. Dylan was inspired and impressed by Dave Van Ronk. Mack The Knife He died 7 years ago. RIP Dave Van Ronk.
