There's a continent of garbage in the Pacific. Reunion Islands refuse and recycling opportunities. If it took until 1961-62 for remnants of the Battle of the Coral Sea to wash ashore and to be found by beachcombers in Baja, will it be twenty years for the continent of pacific plastic to wash ashore and choke the Reunion Islands?

Camp Justice , Guantanamo, Cuba Tent city lawyers are dying from cancer in droves.

(Bob is watching too much TV) In the hospital there is a lot of TV at night and if I am not worn out in my iron man suit. There are 17 republicans running picked by FOX and I ought to sue them.Take a note, counsellor, Dear FOX, I am the perfect side-kick for Bill O'Reilly and here's why: I am related to Che'. That's right, THE Che'. So, I am a Latino Irish Catholic pundit who is more effective at anti-democratic rants. (The Medical Director walks in) Doctors and caddies go together.

And speaking of TV, have you seen "Velocity"? Shut up and listen to me, Sandy, (if only you had listened") you have to get a kid who does video and go "Barn Finding" like the 47 Caddy you found for Frank Nicodemus Castle Cadillac Restoration. When you get a vintage "barn find" we can have a segment "Barn Finding Safari" on Velocity.

I have got to sue FOX, counsellor! They are discriminating against me as a latino--irish-catholic-democratic pundit and Barbara Lee isn't liberal enough. It's all marketing hype.

Governments- North v South, SF BD v LA BD. Another 50 years in the discussing Candlestick vs Marina del Rey as best bucket without bottom for campaign contributions.

(News Tip: How the hell can someone get a news tip to Rachael Maddow? For that matter, how do you submit a news tip to The New York Times, because they specifically state the don't want to be annoyed by news TIPS.)

"Catholics make the best fascists".
(What me worry? : Death Panels as inevitable as health care and taxes.) What is a prostitute's bath and is it politically incorrect? Nurse didn't know but didn't think sex-worker's bath meant the same thing.

(Health Tip: Belle says Turmeric is neuroregenerative. Nurse says I only have to watch sugar and carbs.)

(Sidebar with Lawyer: You can write about the app on indiegogo called "My Data 4 Sale".)

"The app is to stop the filtching of your data, without compensation, by government, corporations and any hacker who passes by."

"It's your gig and you sell your habits for a time period to data miners who pay a certain per unit time fee to you. No more free lunch on your preferences - Your data, your habits, your gig in this gig economy."

(Google Hint: indiegogo.com and look for mydata4sale. Over to you, BOB!

We need an official whistleblower's protective association or union. Remember the whistleblower Victor Risell? In the 50's? Labor? Acid thrown in his eyes? Is that why Belle wears sunglasses all the time?

This has been the toughest assignment of our journalistic life BUT it does give you a fresh perspective of "every day you wake up is a blessing". Amen, brother! With a lot of work and effort we should be back in the column-a-week groove in about another month.

(Coming Attractions: Mid-August here in Berzerkeley is the 50th year since the founding of the Berkeley Barb.)

BP graduated from college in the mid sixties (at the bottom of the class?) He told his draft board that Vietnam could be won without his participation. He is still appologizing for that mistake. He received his fist photo lesson from a future (more...)
