What is the best advice you have ever received? I will start. My first record producer and mentor, Buddy King, told me early on, “On the way to where you think you want to go enjoy the journey because there’s no guarantee that once you get there, you will be happy.“

@RGRyan777 Not sure if you can see this, my MIL worked here in her teens in the 1940s.

Did you know that in July of 1913 the largest amusement park on the US West Coast opened on the corner of Abbott and Voltaire streets in Ocean Beach, San Diego? Opening day saw 22,000 guests pass through the gates pictured below.

Sadly, the park only lasted two seasons due to a massive decline in attendance from the opening of the Panama-California Exposition in Balboa Park in 1915 and a hundred year flood that destroyed most of the rides in January of 1916.

The menagerie was rented to the Exposition and eventually became the foundation upon which the world famous San Diego Zoo was built, and the Blue Streak Racer, the largest roller coaster on the West Coast, was sold to the Santa Monica Pier.

I used all of this as background for my Jake Moriarity novel, "Finding Wonderland." If you are into the LA recording scene and abandoned amusement parks, this is a novel for you. 99 cents in the Kindle store.

@native_ame_soul We had some Bison around here on farms. This herd is no longer in these pastures. Loved seeing them & when I found them to be gone it made me very sad. It still does.

Have you heard the one about the village idiot stealing Greenland?

@edwereddie 1956 Bel Air, really need a better look at the rear end. The 1956 was developing fins, which the 1957 model had. The fin craze lasted until 1962, with the 1963 & 1964 Bel Airs and Impalas were squared off. The body lines were again beginning to be more rounded 1965-1968.

@theygonnalose @lippyent The horse passed about the same time that Jimmy Stewarts son was killed in action. Henry Fonda made a painting of Pie for Stewart. Tom Mix lived about an hour from here.

Admire people who are kind. The people in the world who are so often overlooked, yet remain steadfast in their purpose to help others any way they can. These are the biggest difference makers, the true champions of good, and the people most deserving of a few kind words. If you know someone like this, remind them that what they are doing is important work. #StarfishClub #mentalhealth

Sometimes having a big heart can make you sad because you want people to care as much as you do and sometimes they don’t. Or maybe it’s just that they don’t know how to let the world touch them anymore so they just put up walls, shut everything out and give up. The biggest tragedy in our world is when people give up. Please don’t do that. The world needs your light! 🫶🏻#StarfishClub

[Jay Stenman @Jedbird77]

@Tjeerd001 Yup.
