The Beaches of the 70’s

Not much different than the beaches of today. Emptying out so folks can go back to work or the unemployment line.

Water Street is splashed with color signs, flags, doorways and colorful people. This will be a colorful week of posts. I did shoot some B+W but that’s for later.

Travels on the Railway to Financial Security

A week since my last post an Orange Engine sits outside the Mendota Illinois Station a leader without followers?
August 15th dinner in the dinning car [very good food] with John, David friends from my car joining us is a Professor from a new college in Southern Cal. The college built on a former military base, a super fund site. A progressive school where you can get an education and a chemical lobotomy a great two for one sale. What a deal! The conversation is spirited, humorous, sarcasm rules and laughter reigns. I find it interesting how obvious the social and economic collapse seems, yet we all ignore it. Not just the four of us but most people I meet along the rails and beyond.
Now a month and a half later it’s raining golden parachutes $700 billion served, ” I see lots of funny men some will rob you with a six gun and some with a fountain pen.” {“The Ballard of Pretty Boy Floyd” Woody Guthrie 1939 }

At the top of the food chain the Gods of Possesionville
Shower us below with CREDIT!
You must have! You must have!
Without it you’re not a man. Not worthy.
You must have Credit, Debt, Distraction!
The Gods of Possesionville bring you WAR
[defend your right to waste]
FAMINE
[more large portions, throw it away]
DEAD CHILDREN
[I have a call on my cell phone]
NEW DRUGS,NEW DISEASES
[yes I’ll pick up the lobster,go to the drive thru ATM]
Wash it all down with Lite Beer!
Smoke and Mirrors we see our freedom on
TV-DVD-CABLE-SATELLITE
And somewhere suffocating under a mountain
of paperwork, re-financed, debt consolidated,
over budget, new and improved, high tech, upgrades,
Is your soul, free creative thought, freedom of choice.
I know I am free I saw it on TV!
