Yesterday, I was talking to a guy in Canada and I mentioned that I'd been in their Parliament Building in Ottawa and was in the Gallery of their Upper House, the Senate, as they debated something about airlines.  Robert said that guns are good and he keeps his handy.  The roads in San Diego have been terrible for 20 years, and they used to be a lot worse with gaping chuckholes even in La Jolla, the best part of town.  Las Vegas has become this way with just terrible roads.  And for both the reason is that the silly, thumbsucking Taxpayers allowed their Tax Money to be spent on Public Employees' Salaries and Pensions instead of Infrastructure.  I just had my blood analyzed and saw my doctor of the past 12 years, I do this every 4 months.  When I first saw her I hadn't had a physical in many years and my Triglycerides were over 1000, optimum is 200 and this past time they were 140.  All my other numbers were real good.  She is really smart, why I've kept her all these years, she's from a small town near W. Virginia and her Dad worked in a factory, she went to Ohio State on Scholarships, in her early 40's she's long-married to a Neurosurgeon.  I have light blue-eyes and an oilier-complexion than anybody else even at my age (I've seen maybe 4 others as oily in my life, it's a Northern German trait), from my recent Derm appointment I'm scheduled to have some Skin-Cancer Surgery in Feb., I just had some of this in June, an ongoing problem, pheww.  But the VA does all right by me, this is pampered-flesh.

The only way that McKayla is going to be in the 2016 Rio Olympics is if she buys a ticket.  She was among those whose Internet Accounts were hacked, but she under "18."  Our best hopes are that she avoids becoming a Felon as the Feds take this seriously.  Anybody who would pose nude and have the pictures placed on the Internet, anything in CyberSpace is there for Eternity, why would anyone think that their account would never be hacked?  The Exhibitionism displayed by all of these people is unhealthy.  She seems to be whizzing along in all other ways and I wish her well.  My Grandmother, ...It doesn't matter what they say about you in the Newspapers, just so long as they spell your name right...

I miss doing my Travel Blog, I do try to inculcate wholesome interests in you people, I've been trying for the past 15 years (you daydream about the glories of being bought-off), you make for a hard life for Ed.  Halloween is one of our best customs, I love Trick-or-Treaters and I give a good bar.  When I was "7" I asked Tom who was "17" what he was doing for Halloween and he said that he was going to a Party, and I felt sorry for Tom as I knew that I was going Trick-or-Treating.  Tom's family lived a few houses up the street and their business was a bar (the liquor business is lucractive, a popular nightclub in La Jolla is "Barfly") and Tom eventually killed a guy in there (had a gun behind the bar) who was threatening his life and came behind the bar.  Since I liked Tom I'll take Tom's side in this, hey, he was acquited.  A good Blog is Jan. 23, 2009 on the late John Demanjuk.  Dominica was the 118th Country that I've visited.

Jonas Edward Salk (Oct. 28, 1914 to June 23, 1995) was born 100 years ago today in New York City to little-educated Immigrant Jews with scuzzy jobs in the Garment District.  Those old-time Jews were plenty tough and Jonas was pushed in the right direction and entered City College of New York at "15."  While at the U. of Pittsburgh, Jonas developed the first effective Polio Vaccine which was introduced-widespread to the Public in 1957.  There had been few Fears like the Fear of Polio where many were killed and others crippled for life.  When asked who held the Patent ...There is no Patent...  A friend of mine back in Ohio, Gary Burnett, a High School Industrial Arts Teacher, had had a mild case of Polio as a child (usually gotten by children) and although he had a powerful upper-body, his legs were somewhat weak.  This didn't stop Gary from doing anything, he was in the Navy 5 years and in civilian life wore his dog-tags every day (yeah).  Well, I've gone this far, Gary said that during the early days of his teaching career a Kid was ...Jawing at Me As Usual... And that he swung at this Kid ...My Hand Only Opened At the Last Instant...  Brad teaches High School English and says that today you can't talk mean to them, a Lot of the Corporal Punishment Common in School was for the Better (Gary said that the other Kids praised his effort).  I haven't seen Gary since I left Ohio, he eventually retired to Florida, he was a good friend to me and I'm saying Hi.

On Sunday, May 5, 1918, 13 Men drowned at Ocean Beach, San Diego, due to unusual Rip-Currents so Violent that only 3 of the 13 bodies were ever recovered.  11 of these were Soldiers and Sailors stationed at Camp Kearny, amongst them was Henry P. Hanson who saved 5 lives before dying in the Attempt to save a 6th.  From this Tragedy was developed the San Diego Lifeguard Service.  Commemorating this Valor and Loss is a descriptive Plaque with a bronze-statue  The Lifeguard

I'm really sorry about what I said about McKayla Maroney a couple months ago, I was grating from lengthy maltreatment.  If some-one is mean to you, you shouldn't respond in (Un)Kind.  At first, when I asked McKayla to be my girlfriend, she was super-eager for it.  But soon after she tried to make me feel really bad.  All this has happened a few times before, when a real-good looking and young girl, would have the Hots for me but soon thereafter decide that what she really wants to do is torture me (?)  And this is always with a Sexual Motif, although this is the first time when She had a bit of a name and with the Lesbian Slant.  And then, when this really turns me off in all Instances the Girl wants me to Forgive Her and Indicates that she can't live without me.  But her Actions had made me Uninterested in Her (in McKayla's Case she indicated that she had had Sex with many Men and had also had Sex with other Women, both of these made me Look-Down On Her such that I didn't want her).  With All of these Girls, I remain a life-long Obsession, Somebody that they think about constantly for the rest of their Lives (why was I cursed with this Manly Beauty).       Now, I truly believe, in my heart of hearts, that McKayla should give-up the World and Enter the Convent, over Unrequited Love, that is so romantic, I'm feeling shivers running up and down my spine.  On the Other Hand, due to all the Pub that I've given her, Mick has made a lot of money and has a TV Role (I've never seen her on CW).  She has Beauty and Acting Ability, her Acting Career and what-all could just continue unabated.  It didn't work-out for Us (I was in Love with Her), but I want and expect her to have All the Best.

Girolama Savonarola (1452 to 1498) was a Dominican Friar and Religious Reformer who spoke against the Corruption of the Church and the People of Florence.  On Feb. 7, 1497 the Followers of Savonarola gathered and burned thousands of beautiful Artworks and Books in the Main Square of Florence, the "Bonfire of the Vanities."  A little over a year later on May 23, 1498 the Disillusioned Citizenry (what have we done) hung and burned Savonarola himself on the same spot in the Piazza della Signoria, this is Commemorated by a Circle, which I've seen.  Knowing when to Get Out of Town is one of the best things one can ever learn.

I've been Online for 15 minutes today and I have over 5 times as many hits as I did 15 minutes ago, Were I Sugar You People Would Eat Me Up.  La Paz to Santa Cruz, to Samaipata for the "Che Trail," (See My Blogs for June 22, June 24, and June 29, 2014).  In Samaipata seek the wonderful Danielle at "Jukumari Tours," Phone--7262-7202, They also have excellent Nature Tours and tours of the Jesuit Mission Circuit.  Go to the Plaza where there's a Room for the Taxi Drivers and ask the great and illustrious Vladimir to take you on the Che Trail (I paid 166 U.S).  Took a plane to La Paz then a plane to Santiago, Chile, my 3rd time there.  That morning there was a cold, driving, Downpour and there I was trying to find a Hotel with my clothes soaked, as I was walking around People were looking at me like Mad Dogs and Englishmen.  Helping me to find my Hotel was a middle-aged Lady, and she really went to a lot of trouble for me, during my Travels I often depend on the kindness of Strangers.  The previous 2 days on the Che Trail due to the roads being mostly dirt I had inhaled a lot of dirt and really felt sick, and was happy to relax for awhile in my nice, warm, Hotel Room.  The neoclassical Catedral Metropolitana, completed in 1800, is real impressive, although their Art Museums aren't.  The Museo Chileno de Arte Precolombino whose Artifacts chronicle 4500 years of pre-Colombian Civilization is real good.  I thoroughly enjoyed my trip (I'm always very happy when I'm traveling, I must have Wanderlust) and I hope that you enjoyed reading of it.  Back to the States and We All Lived Happily Ever After

I'm up to 210, 5 lbs. over my target-weight of 205.  Ann Wilson of "Heart" once said that she can't diet, that food tastes so good that she has to eat it.  We know where Ann is coming from, and the U.S. is the Land of Cheap and Bountiful Food (we have to wonder how long this is going to last).  I'll try harder.  Congrats to Malala on her shared Nobel Peace Prize, few have deserved it more.  See my Blog on Honor Killings (Nov. 2, 2008, one of my first Blogs).  I've been in lots of Moslem Countries, I'd trust one of them as far as I could throw him.  After 9-11 there was practically no condemnation of the Mass Murders of Innocent People by the millions of Moslems in the U.S.  We all saw that girl on the Cover of Time, that's what they're like.

Haven't done my Blog in 6 days and already have lotsa Hits today, you Characters' thirst for me cannot be slaked.  Of Course, Martha Stewart was sent to Prison for Insider Trading, and there's been 10,000 Others more deserving of this over the past 20 years who weren't sent to Prison.  She was the most famous Person they could get their hands on, Marty is a real sweet Lady, you People should be ashamed. I just read my Blog on Sheriff Ralph Lamb (June 21, 2011), which was the Impetus for the TV Series,"Vegas," as well as my Blog on Elvis' 2nd Cousin, Sheriff Harold Ray Presley (July 10, 2011), I was in a Law and Order Mood.  Can anyone today do the "Billy Cannon Double" (See My Blog of Jan. 21, 2009)?  What about those Retired Toads I see on the TV Sports Shows?  On the History Channel they did JFK, the Dallas Police were dumb Crackers, they were parading Lee Harvey Oswald about where anybody could get at him, they had him at a Press Conference answering questions.  Of Jack Ruby (Rubenstein), one of the girls at his Strip Club said ...He had to be Somebody...  Obviously Oswald should have been a Federal Prisoner considering that he was accused of killing the President, and kept away from everybody except his Interrogators.  "The Joint" is made up of Chiropractic Franchises found throughout the U.S. Recently, I've been going to the one at 4065 Maryland Parkway, Suite C, here in Las Vegas, where I've benefited greatly from the excellent ministrations of Dr. Ray Watson and Dr. Andrea Watson.  The Plan I'm on gives me 4 Treatments a Month, no appointments, just walk-in, and the cost is a little less than $15 for each Treatment and you can go to any of their Offices throughout the U.S.  About everybody needs Chiropractic Treatments, I've had 800 in my Life, although not for a long-time, and if you're Impecunious or Just Cheap, you might want to take advantage of this.

Lately the AAA has had all these TV Ads costing millions of dollars, this is in response to my Blogs of April 22, 2014 and August 20, 2014, they could have avoided this expense had they not cheated me.  The AAA is good for maps and emergency road service, but I sure wouldn't buy anything from them.  I feel sorry for Clayton Kershaw, he pitched about the most innings in baseball and should have been pulled in both games after 6 innings.  Jack Morris is long-retired (175 complete games).  I saw Martha Stewart on TV recently, I've always thought her to be a nice lady, I thought she had a bum deal about going to prison for 5 months 10 years ago.  Every so often they send a high-profile person to prison for taxes to get the Public's attention.  I don't care if these Gays get legal rights, but they call it a "Union" or something.  Calling it "Marriage" is disgusting, also referring to the one as a "Husband" and the other a "Wife" is disgusting, that's what my Parents were to each other.  Marriage should be where there's a good chance of the 2 procreating within themselves instead of no chance at all.  Also Gays shouldn't be allowed to adopt, having 2 of the same sex as your "Parents" is abnormal.  They should close down that prison at Guantanamo (I've been to the Cuban town of G.), incarcerating these supposed Terrorists indefinitely and without trial obviously violates International Law.  I once spoke with a guy who was stationed there as a Navy Enlisted Man in the 70's and he said the place was like a Country Club, you could easily make reservations to go horse-back riding and any time you wanted you could go to the Rifle and Pistol Range and sharpen your Eye shooting-up as much of their Ammo as you liked.  McKayla Crushed Me Like A Beer Can, I need for you Comely Wahines to write me so that you can get me over her:  edpreusse65@yahoo.com or P.O.

I alr,eady have a lotta hits today, you people's yearn for me is real moving.  Bus to Puno, Peru, which borders Lake Titicaca, which I toured 7 years ago, at 214 cubic miles in volume, the largest lake in S.A. and at 12,500 ft. above sea level, the highest large lake in the World, it's divided between Peru and Bolivia.  Lotsa cheap flops right around the Bus Station, mine cost 10 bucks for a really nice room with great cable TV.  It was cold as heck and throughout my trip I only wore a ban-lon.  Got a bottle of cold Inca Cola and sat down at one of these outdoor places and saw the chicken fried before me, with rice and noodles a plate cost 1.50 U.S., I got 2 plates.  A lady asked me aren't you cold, I said I'm tough (I do this to inspire you people).  Bus next morning to the Bolivian Border where I paid $135, grudgingly, for a 5-year Visa.  Bus to La Paz, at 12 to 12,500 ft. the highest capital in the World, a fire won't burn long enough to torch a building due to lack of oxygen, pop. 1.4 mil, been there thrice.  The airport, Los Altos is 13,000 ft.  The people are mostly Aymara Indians.  Went to the Ethnographic and Folklore Museum, to the Archeological Museum.  Cathedral from 1835 (La Paz from 1548) is impressive.  Previously I had a Private Guided Tour of the Presidential Palace, Evo Morales has been President since 2006.  I was shown the 2nd Floor Window that Lt. Col. Gualberto Villarroel, the President by Coup in 1943, was thrown through on July 21, 1946. He was then dragged across the street and hung from a lamp-post which is preserved to this day (weirdest thing I've even seen).  Next to it is the Legislative Palace and a real nice Black Girl, Alita, who went to College and was an Intern (only Black Person there), gave me a Private Tour.  I went into both Houses of Legislature and all over.  There was some commotion as a Delegate had dropped dead that morning, his body was laid on a table with flowers on it.  Alita had beautiful eyes, like an Egyptian Painting.  I stayed at Hotel Sajama, sajamahotel@hotmail.com, and had a real nice room for 38 U.S.  My last night I got a large pizza and headed back to my room but stopped at the desk and told the girl to take 2 slices, a quarter. She happily accepted, for some reason she lifted the slices but didn't pull them away from the box and I wanted to keep my pizza hot ...Hurry Up...  The Internet Current, what do we want for nuthin' ...

Many of the bought-off Elected and Media are found in Church every Sunday.  And many Thieves think of themselves as being Heroes.  Proof that the U.S. has gone totally-mad is the talk of Jeb Bush being the next President, another Bush would do in this Country (See My Cute Blog of April 11, 2014), ...Ehh, Islam is a Religion of Peace... Ehh  The Browns are 2-2, that's Tall Cotton for them, all games by 4 pts. or less.  A lot of times the best thing for your Team is that the current Players leave.  A long-time Clothing Store across from the Ohio State Campus on the main drag of the appropriately-named "High Street," was "Moe Glassman's."  You could buy real high-quality clothes for a really reasonable Price, I still have 2 "Pringle of Scotland" sweaters that I bought when I was "19."  Not Moe himself, but the guys who worked there were Gay, sharp guys who you'd think would have a better job than that.  Inside the Changing-Room were pin-ups of Young Guys.  A friend of mine said that while he was trying-on a pair of pants he looked-up and the Clerk waiting on him was outside Leering at him and quickly turned-away when Greg glanced out there.  Us Ohio State Guys didn't care about such trifles, we wanted those good clothes for cheap.  I saw Paul Revere at the Del Mar Fair a couple years ago, nowadays you can Rock until you die, RIP

Give this Ebola thing a rest, it's easily cured.  It's becoming widespread in Africa due to lack of sanitation, lotsa diseases are widespread in Africa.  When I was in Cuzco I met an English guy who was installing a Hostel System at the hotel where I was staying.  Hostel in this sense would be a moderately-price hotel, I had a nice-room, it's not like there were a bunch of people in it.  It was like this throughout the hotel. Mark, Mark Anthony Booty (he claimed that his ancestors were privateers in the Caribbean and brought back so much that they took this surname), installed hotel and hostel systems throughout Chile and mentioned that he might be interested in this or other hotel management work in the U.S.  Mark is "35," friendly and outgoing with a good appearance and enjoys working long hours, he was doing this in Cuzco.  Inquiries may be made to:   mark@hostelsystem.com

Arrived in Cuzco by bus, founded in 1100 by the Incas and taken by the Spanish in 1533, Cuzco is up 11000 feet.  I pop an iron pill every morning along with my other vits and mins, just doing that gives me 20% more stamina as I have iron-poor blood, doesn't matter as it's easily corrected.  At altitude like that I pop 2 iron pills for possible Soroche, Altitude Sickness, and I've never had a problem. Was here 7 years ago, then I went to the Machu Picchu from Cuzco, it's beautiful and surrealistic, everything is joined-together without mortar, the Lost City of the Incas was discovered by Hiram Bingham, future U.S. Senator from Vermont.  I would have gone there this time except MP has become more popular yet and one needs a Reservation to climb the Mountain, when I was there before you just showed up and they let 300 in a day. I didn't know that, I just wandered in and I was the next to the last they let in that day.  If I can't climb the Mountain I ain't goin'.  I went to the Plaza de Armas and nice Injun Gals solicit you for an Inca Massage with Hot Rocks, it's not prostitution.  I had 2 2-hour Massages and they were great, they charge $13 an hour but I paid $20, good pay for good work.  To the magnificent Cathedral built from the Inca Ruins.  On Loreto there's the oldest wall in Cuzco also seamlessly joined, on a parallel street in the wall is the 12-sided stone, part of the Palace of the 6th Inca.  To Qorikancha, formerly an Inca Temple, now Iglesia de Santa Domingo.  To the Museum of PreColombian Art, priceless artifacts, considered amongst the best in S.A..  At the Iglesia de San Blas, the Pulpit is considered to be the finest woodworking in the Americas, the skull of the guy who created it is on the top, looking at this gave me the creeps.  The big Museo Inca is real good and interesting.  Took a half-day tour, and to avoid robbery it's good to be in a large group, outside of Cuzco and saw Saqsaywaman.  In 1536, Manco Inca, the puppet ruler installed by the Spanish, rebelled and a great battle was fought with the thousands of Inca Dead attracting Condors, today there's Condors in Cuzco's Coat of Arms. To Q'enqo where the Incas sacrificed, to Tambomachay, a ceremonial bath and the ruins of Pukapukara.  On the way back they stop where you can buy an Alpaca Sweater, the best is pretty expensive.  The Alpacas are real cute but their steaks are delicious, I wish I had a bottle of Inca Cola.

Bashar Assad is an Ophthalmologist, it's too bad he didn't stick to this.  The entire TV Media is bought-off, I hate to say this, but it makes me nauseous to look at your bought-off faces, ha, ha, it gives me gas.  Am I the only one who thinks that these Athletes jumping to celebrate looks stupid, a waste of energy as well.  They had something on the Masons/Freemasons on the History Channel this morning, my maternal Grandfather and my Uncle were 32nd Degree Masons, the highest one can get ordinarily, Truman, MacArthur, J. Edgar Hoover were 33rd Degree Masons.  A Secret Society, I've seen them set up for their meetings, covering the windows with cloth.  I have no idea what goes on in there, but one of them told me it's just about being a Good Man.  They should have gassed all those Central American children who illegally invaded this Country, a good deterrent for potential future illegal aliens.  Some people are a lot better than others.
