aloha again, i realzie i have been remiss in not describing my new home town.
PAGANI ALERT
NO BAD NEWS TODAY!
CAPITOLA
founded as a resort community about the mid 1800s.it has expanded and is now roughly crescent shaped along the Pacific Ocean.20 minutes via surface streets south of the City of Santa Cruz (the Boardwalk,Steamer Lane-surfing & Pacifc Ave Mall-shopping) Capitola is ten thousand people,small enough that candidates still go door to door esp. since a few recent elections have been lost by 3 votes or less! to the north is the landmark CAPITOLA MALL (great for people and mall rat watching) on the coast opposite is PLEASURE POINT -former site of speakeasies,bordellos and topless bars. now just a site of year round surfing.here people surf all year long and wear flip flops and even shorts no matter what the weather or season.
down the road is the Mall is the historic and lovely SHADOWBROOK Resaturant founded in 1947, the year i was born, a great place to celebrate special occassions,graduations,wedding etc etc.great views & terraced stremside flower beds.belowthat the CAPITOLA ESPLANADE is the original city with a beach,pricey condos,cheap eats,toilets and shops.minor league surfing and great place to sun & people watch.up the hill aways is GAYLES BAKERY a real danger to your waistline. when we bought here people would always say IS IT NEAR GAYLES? IS IT NEAR THE MALL OR THE SHADOWBROOK? we had actually moved here before realizing the Ocean itself was within easy walking distance.nobody mentioned it,how Odd.
we like it here, not quite "Paradise" as most locals call it but it''ll do til the real one comes around/:D
SOURPUSSY
she was a co-worker of MY EX (*) some where, my first wife had a LOT of odd jobs.so Sourpussy started dropping by just to hang and be numb.she described herself as "an asexual bisexual" meaning virgin apparently. being nudists we hung out nude and she kept coming by.i was rude to her which she either tolerated or enjoyed,virgins can be strange.i dubbed her Sourpussy and it stuck.
so we'd watch TV and such at whatever hovel we were living in at the time. MY EX'S(*) professional nude photographer , and devoted fanboy, offered to do some tasteful nudes of her but she declined.i guess she wasn't bad looking despite her blonde butch haircut and gloomy hangdog expression.last i heard she had gone DEADHEAD & wore tie dye and seemed to be much happier.go figure.
that's about as far as i can go today without relating bad news so i'll sign off.

Hey, you know, there's nothing wrong with relating "bad news" - it's part of life. And contrary to the opinion of some, I never complained! ...All I said was that sometimes I have to just stop thinking about bad stuff for a while so I don't get depressed. This does not imply that I wish to live in a fairy tale. :)
