Wow, especially with rampant inflation, those are rock-bottom prices. If the economy picks up, Chevron (California's oil co.) will announce they are, taking refineries off-line for maintenance, experiencing a supply disruption, and/or, reformulating the fuel, for Winter, and invariably jack up the prices. Funny, when they use such excuses, it conjures up a picture of Billy-Bob at the well head, with a truck, who has never seen a spreadsheet before, vs. the armies of business planners they employ, to deal with such contingencies.. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, punditster@... wrote : Valero 895 FM-306 Common St $2.56 http://www.gasbuddy.com/ http://www.gasbuddy.com/ Valero Corner Store, San Antonio On our way to China Grove yesterday we stopped at this place to get some fuel.

The interesting thing about Frank Zappa is that he was not a hippie - he called himself a freak, and in fact he was the leader of a troupe of dancers called the Freakers. We went to one of Frank's dance concerts in Hollywood called /The Great Masked Ball and Orgy/ or GUAMBO with The Mothers of Invention. That's where we met lots of freaks and learned how to dance the freak style. Zappa is one of the main characters in the conspiracy theory that rock bands, singers and songwriters were all military-brat plants sent in to brain-wash the hippies and turn them into mindless robots. Several of the rock stars knew too much so they got offed - Hendrix, Morrison, Zappa, Eliot, etc. According to what I've read, Franks parents moved to Monterrey, California because his father worked at the Naval Postgraduate School. Then in 1956, the Zappa family moved to Lancaster, near Edwards Air Force Base, in northern L.A. County. According to Miles, during the recording of /Freak Out!/, Zappa moved into a house in Laurel Canyon. The house became a meeting (and living) place for many LA musicians and groupies of the time, despite Zappa's disapproval of their illicit drug use. Frank did not smoke or drink or take drugs of any kind. Works Cited: Miles, Barry (2004). /Frank Zappa/. London: Atlantic Books. ISBN 1-84354-092-4.

Richard, I think of turq as a big bear with a thorn in his paw. Of course he's
growling. And if we keep poking him with sticks, he'll continue to swipe at us
with his claws. And be too distracted to attend to that thorn. Ever wonder what
might happen if we ignore his swipes and growling for a little bit?

But it IS interesting to see how many people here are admitting that they're
stalking me all over the Internet, looking for any morsel of information to
obsess on, now that I don't read their posts or respond to their gotta get
Barry posts.
Now this is really funny - a guy puts his face on MyFace and then thinks
viewers are stalking him by sending him a friend request. This has got to be
one of the classic cases of cognitive dissonance ever submitted to FFL.

What you need to understand Ann, is that we are dealing with a guy that has a
clear case of cognitive dissonance: Barry is the guy that thought he was outing
my real name, but he didn't realize that I'd been posting using my real name
for a year. He probably trolled to my place of employ to find out and post my
name, but instaed it made him look like a stalker. Go figure.
Factually, Willytex can not be called
whacky little dick head because 1) his
real name is Richard Williams, 2) he has
shown evidence of being a *big* dickhead,
and 3) if you really wanted to piss him off,
the names in the past he has reacted to
most strongly were Wee Willy Wanker,
Little Willy, and just Willy.

He even blocked me and accused me of stalking him because I made a comment on a
post by Dr Pete that bawee had also commented on. Imagine! Someone having a
mutual friend on FB and the actually commenting on a post by that mutual
friend. Incorrigibly outrageous - so much so that bawee ran around saying I was
stalking him and he ballistically blocked any chance of me ever accidentally
encountering him on FB. Little did he know he was doing me a favor.
Yes, there is a God after all!
Now if that isn't proof then I don't know what is. And it is a beneficent God,
at that! Ricky, I'm liking you more every day.
Barry once posted an Open Letter to me on Google Groups. It's a clear case
of cognitive dissonance because Barry is from Texas, but I didn't find this out
till later when he went back to Houston for a visit and stayed in a Motel 6
near the Galleria.
This is really funny:
Willy, since fucking prairie dogs or whatever you do with your time
doesn't seem to fill enough of it lately, and you've been going out
of your way to associate me with Rama and thus with a big, bad
cult figure, I figure I should explain a couple of things...

Effortlessness meant to rest that attention in the heart and then offer

Re: [FairfieldLife] The Birth of the Hippies
Bhairitu, marijuana gave me a wonderful, mellow experience and that was enough

Orange Sunshine was pretty mellow, Owsley's Purple Haze was rather mind
shattering and pure Sandoz very creepy. Psilocybin was hallucinogen without
paranoia (LSD probably had that side effect due to stuff it was cut with). The
drug I stayed away from was cocaine. I can thank Johnny Cash since he claimed
it gave him a deviated septum and none us in my band wanted that.
In 1970 I gave George Lucas a copy of Autobiography of a Yogi and he told me
he was going to read it. Guess he did.

We attended class and listened to Stephen Gaskin every Monday evening
for several months back in 1970. He gave lectures at the Family Dog and
hundreds of people would gather to get high and listen to his words of wisdom.
Gaskin is the first person to explain to me what karma means. A few weeks later
I was able to use that word in a sentence talking to Travis Rivers about the
SF Oracle newspaper. Stephen Gaskin, R.I.P.
This was the early days when if you had read Yogananda's book you were
considered to be advanced spiritually. By then I was reading Tibetan Yoga and
Secret Doctrines. Go figure. For those who were too young or weren't born yet,
have you ever wondered what it would have been like to be in the first wave of
hippies that crested in the late 1960s and early 70s? Here is a nice report:

Re: [FairfieldLife] Forget BATGAP
Panache of course said that he isn't. But he was growing up in London and is of
Indian descent and a spiritual teacher, so pretty easy to make that
conclusion.

Secretly I think Barry likes the attention - he makes himself such an easy
target. We just want to know why he is posting all the cognitive dissonance? He
can't seriously believe that his friends are stalking him on Facebook, when
he made his page open to the public. Go figure.

But it IS interesting to see how many people here are admitting that they're
stalking me all over the Internet, looking for any morsel of information to
obsess on, now that I don't read their posts or respond to their gotta get
Barry posts.
Now this is really funny - a guy puts his face on MyFace and then thinks
viewers are stalking him by sending him a friend request. This has got to be
one of the classic cases of cognitive dissonance ever submitted to FFL.

What you need to understand Ann, is that we are dealing with a guy that has a
clear case of cognitive dissonance: Barry is the guy that thought he was
outing my real name, but he didn't realize that I'd been posting using my real
name for a year. He probably trolled to my place of employ to find out and
post my name, but instaed it made him look like a stalker. Go figure.
Factually, Willytex can not be called
whacky little dick head because 1) his
real name is Richard Williams, 2) he has
shown evidence of being a *big* dickhead,
and 3) if you really wanted to piss him off,
the names in the past he has reacted to
most strongly were Wee Willy Wanker,
Little Willy, and just Willy.

He even blocked me and accused me of stalking him because I made a comment on
a post by Dr Pete that bawee had also commented on. Imagine! Someone having a
mutual friend on FB and the actually commenting on a post by that mutual
friend. Incorrigibly outrageous - so much so that bawee ran around saying I was
stalking him and he ballistically blocked any chance of me ever accidentally
encountering him on FB. Little did he know he was doing me a favor.
Yes, there is a God after all!
Now if that isn't proof then I don't know what is. And it is a beneficent God,
at that! Ricky, I'm liking you more every day.
Barry once posted an Open Letter to me on Google Groups. It's a clear case
of cognitive dissonance because Barry is from Texas, but I didn't find this out
till later when he went back to Houston for a visit and stayed in a Motel 6
near the Galleria.
This is really funny:
Willy, since fucking prairie dogs or whatever you do with your time
doesn't seem to fill enough of it lately, and you've been going out
of your way to associate me with Rama and thus with a big, bad
cult figure, I figure I should explain a couple of things...

From 1941 until 1960, Huxley contributed 48 articles to /Vedanta and the West/, published by the Society. He also served on the editorial board with Isherwood, Heard, and playwright John van Druten from 1951 through 1962. Huxley also occasionally lectured at the Hollywood and Santa Barbara Vedanta temples. Two of those lectures have been released on CD: /Knowledge and Understanding/ and /Who Are We/ from 1955. After the publication of /The Doors of Perception http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Doors_of_Perception/, Huxley and the Swami disagreed about the meaning and importance of the LSD drug experience, which may have caused the relationship to cool, but Huxley continued to write articles for the Society's journal, lecture at the temple, and attend social functions.

Problem with the independent places is they often cost as much or more than Starbucks and some just use a restaurant supplier grind which isn't that bold. Also they often aren't very friendly places. I know the folks at the downtown Starbucks and there is a nice patio outside the place. Also I stopped drinking Americanos and have their Clover brew instead. That's an inverse press machine and the drink is much stronger. You can also call out which beans to use in it. When I get my freebie I get the most expensive beans and the Venti size. You'll only find those in certain newly remodeled Starbucks. The cold and soggy NW indeed has much better independent run coffee bars. Though when I lived in Redmond I would go to Starbucks then walk two door down to a bakery that did all whole grains and had killer blueberry cinnamon rolls. Yum! And I often ate breakfast at a locally run restaurant that made real British scones. You have made a careful study and made some finely-tuned decisions as to your coffee and your place to drink that coffee. I love that. Discrimination is a good thing. My little independent has one location and makes all their soups and baked goods on site. They are about the same price as Starbucks but I don't mind. They are always friendly and their chai latte is alway consistently the same and very good. Starbucks varies from location to location. Not that chai tea is some sort of exotic drink but boy can they be all over the map in terms of taste and consistency. One of the funny things about Starbucks was when they introduced their chai tea latte back in the late 1990s. I told them chai means tea in Hindi so they were calling it a tea tea latte. I have a lactose intolerance so I never drink lattes. I also used to go to Indian restaurants and order garam pani to drink and get a grin from the Indian servers. It means hot water.

It is a wonderful thing that we will never know who Maitreya is, as if Maitreya, if he exists, were to identify himself, he would then be called Maitreya and thus would be a fool.

[FairfieldLife] Re: The Birth of the Hippies
Also anyone who believes that Huxley was advocating the world depicted in Brave New world should read his prologue to Brave New World Revisited. BNW was a warning not a plan.: Yes, but . . . Orwell's 1984 was a warning - no one ever wanted to create that kind of set-up. Brave New World is also a warning - but what makes it on the button is that people *do* want to create many aspects of that society. Because being beautiful, staying young, having lots of guilt-free sex, relaxing with side-effect free soma drugs, etc, etc does have *some* attraction if you are human and are plain-looking, feeling the effects of age, inhibited sexually and getting anxious. Because Huxley was also a human being he shared those fantasies and his attitude towards his Brave New World was more nuanced than people usually understand. The crux is this: if you *did* suddenly find yourself living in that very BNW (let's say younger and more becoming than you are in reality!) and you were given the choice of being tele-transported back to your current situation in 2014 would you return?

Together with Gerald Heard http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_Heard, Christopher Isherwood, and other followers he was initiated by the Swami and was taught meditation and spiritual practices.[3] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldous_Huxley#cite_note-FOOTNOTERoy2003-3 In 1944, Huxley wrote the introduction to the Bhagavad Gita: The Song of God,[22] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldous_Huxley#cite_note-IsherwoodSwami_Prabhavananda1987-22 translated by Swami Prabhavanada and Christopher Isherwood, which was published by The Vedanta Society of Southern California. From 1941 until 1960, Huxley contributed 48 articles to Vedanta and the West, published by the Society. He also served on the editorial board with Isherwood, Heard, and playwright John van Druten from 1951 through 1962. Huxley also occasionally lectured at the Hollywood and Santa Barbara Vedanta temples. Two of those lectures have been released on CD: Knowledge and Understanding and Who Are We from 1955. After the publication of The Doors of Perception, Huxley and the Swami disagreed about the meaning and importance of the LSD drug experience, which may have caused the relationship to cool, but Huxley continued to write articles for the Society's journal, lecture at the temple, and attend social functions. His agnosticism, together with his speculative propensity, made it difficult for him to fully embrace any form of institutionalized religion.Aldous Huxley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Aldous Huxley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia AldousLeonard Huxley /ˈhʌksli/ (26 July 1894 – 22 November 1963) was an English writer, philosopher and a prominent member of the Huxley family...

Brave New World is also a warning - but what makes it on the button is that people *do* want to create many aspects of that society. Because being beautiful, staying young, having lots of guilt-free sex, relaxing with side-effect free soma drugs, etc, etc does have *some* attraction if you are human and are plain-looking, feeling the effects of age, inhibited sexually and getting anxious. Because Huxley was also a human being he shared those fantasies and his attitude towards his Brave New World was more nuanced than people usually understand. The crux is this: if you *did* suddenly find yourself living in that very BNW (let's say younger and more becoming than you are in reality!) and you were given the choice of being tele-transported back to your current situation in 2014 would you return?

When I returned from a summer gig in Butte, Montana in 1966, friends in the school of music at the UofW played me the Mothers album. When I joined the folk rock group a little later on at the end of the first rehearsal played it for them and then had them just play anything that came to mind. I actually came off very well. I was familiar with the concept from happenings which were a jazz phenomena of the early 1960s with Don Ellis a lead experimenter. I had also done some work with William O Smith who had joined the UofW faculty exploring this phenomena. We added this venue to our gigs which made us very psychedelic early on.

First Enlightened Jim admitted to having stalked me by finding not one, but two books to read about Rama so he could obsess about that, and then he admitted to having stalked me further to look for photos. Then he actually took one of those photos he found and added a caption to it to *prove* that he was stalking me...all while denying he was doing so. Ann admits to having read those books as well, and to having email discussions with her fellow stalkers discussing the best ways to get Barry.

However, she appears unaware that it reveals her hollowness. She offers no original content to FFL but rather critiques anyone who does. It's a testimony to her meaningless unintelligence. This is what happens when someone loses their pretty and attractive façade and has to finally depend upon their vacuous intellect. As for mood-making … a variety of these posters on FFL are mere moodies - in this case shilling for the TMO in one way or another. Very few can carefully analyze MMY’s many statements and claims about the “lineage of masters” and compare them with the authentic teachings of this lineage.

Now this is really funny - a guy puts his face on MyFace and then thinks viewers are stalking him by sending him a friend request. This has got to be one of the classic cases of cognitive dissonance ever submitted to FFL. What is even funnier is that fer damn sure bawee has looked up every one of us on Facebook. He even blocked me and accused me of stalking him because I made a comment on a post by Dr Pete that bawee had also commented on. Imagine! Someone having a mutual friend on FB and the actually commenting on a post by that mutual friend. Incorrigibly outrageous - so much so that bawee ran around saying I was stalking him and he ballistically blocked any chance of me ever accidentally encountering him on FB. Little did he know he was doing me a favor.

According to Wikipedia, Huxley had association with the Vendanta society: Association with Vedanta[edit http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Aldous_Huxleyaction=editsection=6] Beginning in 1939 and continuing until his death in 1963, Huxley had an extensive association with the Vedanta Society of Southern California, founded and headed by Swami Prabhavananda http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swami_Prabhavananda. Together with Gerald Heard http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_Heard, Christopher Isherwood http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Isherwood, and other followers he was initiated by the Swami and was taught meditation and spiritual practices.[3] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldous_Huxley#cite_note-FOOTNOTERoy2003-3 In 1944, Huxley wrote the introduction to the Bhagavad Gita: The Song of God,[22] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldous_Huxley#cite_note-IsherwoodSwami_Prabhavananda1987-22 translated by Swami Prabhavanada and Christopher Isherwood, which was published by The Vedanta Society of Southern California. From 1941 until 1960, Huxley contributed 48 articles to Vedanta and the West, published by the Society. He also served on the editorial board with Isherwood, Heard, and playwright John van Druten from 1951 through 1962. Huxley also occasionally lectured at the Hollywood and Santa Barbara Vedanta temples. Two of those lectures have been released on CD: Knowledge and Understanding and Who Are We from 1955. After the publication of The Doors of Perception http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Doors_of_Perception, Huxley and the Swami disagreed about the meaning and importance of the LSD drug experience, which may have caused the relationship to cool, but Huxley continued to write articles for the Society's journal, lecture at the temple, and attend social functions. His agnosticism, together with his speculative propensity, made it difficult for him to fully embrace any form of institutionalized religion.Aldous Huxley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldous_Huxley#cite_note-23 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldous_Huxley#cite_note-23 Aldous Huxley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldous_Huxley#cite_note-23 Aldous Leonard Huxley /ˈhʌksli/ (26 July 1894 – 22 November 1963) was an English writer, philosopher and a prominent member of the Huxley family...

If I were a millionaire, I should endow a band of research workers to look for the ideal intoxicant. If we could sniff or swallow something that would, for five or six hours each day, abolish our solitude as individuals, atone us with our fellows in a glowing exaltation of affection and make life in all its aspects seem not only worth living, but divinely beautiful and significant, and if this heavenly, world-transfiguring drug were of such a kind that we could wake up next morning with a clear head and an undamaged constitution — then, it seems to me, all our problems (and not merely the one small problem of discovering a novel pleasure) would be wholly solved and earth would become paradise. Sounds great - but I suspect that humans are so constituted that changing our brains with chemicals is always going to have unwanted side-effects. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, fleetwood_macncheese@... mailto:fleetwood_macncheese@... wrote : I used to buy
