The picture at this blog is of St. Augustine Beach.

You know St. Augustine had a vision of an angel on a beach?

St. Augustine is said to be the oldest city in the United States.

Hey, the old dashboard blog!

Came across the old Dashboard through Netflix.

Nice to see you again Dashboard.

Howie Long and his (too) masculine Silverado

I think Howie Long and Chevrolet's commercials for the new Silverado are offensive.
Homophobic.
What's a real trucker anyway? I've found many of the truckers I've met to be uneducated bigots.
And these trucks are hardly the big 18 wheelers you associate with "trucking."
They're just pick-up trucks really.
If Howie wants to make his trucks real manly he should put a gun rack in the back of the cab.
That'll tell them sissies beware!

Here's to Victory Tomorrow

I've been reading a little about the victory we are hoping for tomorrow, Obama-Biden, Tim Cunha, Al Franken, Kay Hagan, Suzanne Kosmos and the rest of the Democratic Ticket.
I also read about the death of Obama's grandmother. My own mother died in 2007 and she was very dear to her grandchildren who are in their forties these days. I dreamed I was in the South Fallsburg Ashram, Shree Muktananda Ashram and I was calling mom at home. Or was I in Yankee Stadium? Well, I was in N.Y. and calling mom at home.
Dreams are funny that way. I hope Obama will know that his grandmother lives on in his Heart.

Anti-discrimination Law in Gainesville, Florida

Here's a little more on the bathroom problem in Gainesville. There is really no problem to me. I have never been interrupted by lesbians while I was trying to take a shit or whatever in the public restrooms. I think I would kind of get a kick out of that anyway.
I think the HRC is having such a great impact that the right wing, moral minority has cooked up this issue just to repeal a law in Gainesville that protects gay people from discrimination.
That's what Cunningham says in his column. Mr. Cunningham is well known pundit who writes for the Gainesville Sun in an editorial capacity.

Protesters in Gainesville

I got an e-mail from a gay politician running for state senate down south. His name is Mark LaFontaine. One of my favorite teachers in high school was named LaFontaine. She got her name through marriage. Still it is a name that stands out to me.
In town today as I went to go shopping I came across a crowd that was protesting the legality of men using women's bathrooms and the opposite. The signs said nothing about it's being legal and I never knew it to be and apparently these people want some laws put on the books on the subject. I don't think we need them. Cultural norms should be the rule. I don't use public rest rooms often so I really don't care. If a woman is taking a piss where I do, what do I care? As long as people are friendly and courteous what's the difference?
It's a gender identity issue.
I was impressed in my old museum visiting days to see the Florida Museum of Natural History had unisex facilities. I didn't go in but I think that is a good thing. It's the only instance in Gainesville that I know of unisex facilities. BRAVO!!! to them I say! We should get past seeing each other according to gender and see the divine self in all.

VP Madness at CQ Quarterly

Well the readers of CQ have eliminated Hillary in their VP contest. Gov. Ed Rendell, one of her best supporters was chosen and now is up against Wes Clarke. Joe Biden and Bill Richardson are also in the contest and play it off in the other game.
