Portland and Charolette announced some big signings. Meanwhile radio silence from Quakes front office.
Is it stinky because of Salton Sea? I've been to that area several times in the winter months. Palm Springs isn't bad but you can smell something near Salton Sea (and see the dried up dead fish on the shore.)
there’s an area there where they have livestock. I never noticed the smell on the polo fields where they holds festivals and soccer tournaments.
Circa 1969, my first-grade public-school teacher had at the front of her classroom a large doll dressed as a hippie holding a (protest-style) sign, which she changed out every day with a new anodyne age-appropriate feel-good saying. The doll's name was Hippie Hooligan. I forever associate in my mind those two words.
That is so cool! In the early 70s, I got my first transistor radio. It was round, had a chain that could around your neck, and had a piece symbol. I'm not going to explain what a transistor radio was back then, but I was cool (in my mind).
I didn't quite make the "hippie generation", best illustrated by this little vignette. Some of my youthful friends and I somehow wound up on a bus to see a Giants game. The kids in the bus were making peace signs at passing cars. I had a vague notion that this peace sign thing was slightly naughty, probably because my parents were not fans of it, and figured in my 1st grade (or whatever) mind that the slightly naughty sign people were making was the "pee sign".
My dad was an IBM'er and he was transferred from San Jose to a little town named Saugerties in Upstate NY. We were there from 68' - 72'. One of my vivid memories from that time was my mom & dad arguing because she wanted to go check out Woodstock with one our neighbors. They had seen it on TV and thought it looked "fun"! To this day I kind of wish they'd gone to see it. O.K., yeah, I'm old. Just went on a tangent about the "old days"!!
that’s cuz you’re around a bunch of old people! I remember … no, f that. I went to a bitchin’ good rock show in Seattle Tuesday night where there were bunches of young people! Of course the band were from the ‘70’s, except they’ve mostly been replaced by younger people now. Go Quakesfans!!
Us old people knew how to find weed back when it was illegal, can drive stick, and saw all the good bands live.
