#77 Exile in Beach Flats–Lulu Land, Wasted and Surf City 1985
Ted Kaczynski’s Santa Cruz vacation shack. 04 Lulu Land In 1982 I lived in the tiniest house imaginable.

The small closet could hold about a ½ a dozen shirts, a couple of jackets and a sweater or two. I rolled up four or five pairs of jeans and stuffed them onto the shelf at the top of the closet. The rest of my …

After the fact, the event is rationalized by hindsight.- wikipedia. 12 Take The Skinheads Bowling (click to play) I’ve mentioned this before.

#73 South California Revisited – St. Cajetan.
South California as proposed by secessionists. 05 St. Cajetan I was browsing the web last night and came across this NY Times article about the Inland Empire and 10 other counties wanting to secede from the state of California. The idea is to form their own state called South California. Not to be confused with the Mexican states of Baja California Norte and Baja California Sur (Lower California North and Lower California South). If you’ve been reading my blog for awhile you already know about the …
