Internet Heaven
If I were ruler of the Net,
some things would change, it’s safe to bet.
On this Interweb so newly born,
there’d be no violence nor porn.
Microsoft would set Skype free
to return to how it used to be.
Literally everywhere
there would be internet to share.
Free Wifi would be universal–
so simple we’d need no rehearsal
to sign on, forward, send, receive.
The exception? Those set to deceive–
scammers sent to Internet Hells
with no computers in their cells.
And this is how our world would be
if you chose to vote for me
to set things right in cyberspace–
cut down the bother, increase the pace.
But now my list seems to be done,
I find that I have jumped the gun,
for though I’d love them to come true,
I find I have too much to do.
So all these changes go on the shelf
unless you do them for yourself!
The Prompt: New Internet Order–All the world’s countries have decided that the Internet itself needs a government. Your country asks you to run for Prime Minister of the ‘Net — do you accept? If so, what will your platform be?
People have been leaving floral tributes in the arms of this Santa Cruz bronze codger playing the musical saw for as long as I can remember–25 years and counting. I was not disappointed when I returned for the first time in 5 years and yes–red roses.
You’ve seen Dan and Laurie. Thought you might want to see the rest of the characters in the story! Bob with and without Judy.
This poet is so wonderful at catching so much in so few words. Sort of the opposite of me! I had to reblog this one. Lovely, lovely.
Hard to believe this isn’t a black and white picture. The ocean at its most powerful turns white against the black rocks below Wilder Ranch north of Santa Cruz, CA

This is the door to the restaurant on the end of the Ajijic Pier. Sadly, it is now closed–both door and restaurant.

Big rains in La Manzanilla, Jalisco, Mexico transformed former streets into waterless riverbeds. The practice of making streets over arroyos makes this a yearly problem.
When I arrived mid-November, big storms had brought tons of stones to cover the beach in La Manzanilla. Bulldozers worked for days to clear the stones and move them back into the ocean, which made for tricky stepping for swimmers trying to get beyond the surf line.

Three hours at the eye doctor’s and $900 later, I have a new pair of progressive lens eyeglasses ordered so no more jiggling two pairs of glasses not to mention having to locate them twenty times a day. This was the cute lady in the frame fitting room modeling a pair of glasses ordered by a man who insisted he wanted rose colored lenses. It was special order requiring much work on their part and of course when they arrived he took one look and said, “They’re pink!” The ladies said yes, that is what rose was and that was why they’d tried so hard to dissuade him from them. Yes. They’re going back to be redyed. And yes, they forgave him. They looked great on her so I made her try them on. Actually, I really liked them on me, too, but my budget is shot for the time being. My next glasses will come from China, but progressives call out for the human touch. Two more days to go before heading northwards.

Sometimes the way ahead is perfectly obvious, sometimes it is nonexistent.
