Does anyone remember the JOY Department Store? 

Did someone order a tigerhide carpet? 

The Great City of San Francisco. Stellar isnt it?

Is grandpa coming to the picnic? I spent all day polishing his car and my thumbs hurt now. 

How about going on down to the five and dime and getting old Uncle Refus a malted? When you re done I ll let you rub my feet, my corns are killing me, yessir. Yessir, they are. 

The Good Old Days in the Chrysler Town & Country, cruising down the turnpike OK, as you can see I ve got quite an interest in stuff from the 1970s. I like almost all of it, except the doubl digit inflation, unemployment, gas rationing, so many companies going bankrupt, policital corruption amongst other things. But I do like the music, the cars, clothes. I love the Farrah Fawcett hair cut and the $6,000,000 dollar man. Ok, the 70s were bad, BUT it was still a time of American Imagination, albeit diminished imagination. What can we compare it with today? I wasnt planning on putting much of interest here on this board because I also post under the name of Zanzibar Jose but I figured people keep coming to this page so I should give them something to read. Yo! I type 37 words a minute but who cares, because Andy Rooney still types with index fingers(and he s been doing it for at least 60 years). My goal was to create an alter ego and have that person conversate about philosophical things as Avolokitisvara(the Buddhist patron of good fortune) and post the odd stuff as Zanzibar Jose(the funny things that go on in my life). I havent kept up with it, but it s alright because I havent has that much interesting happen to me.
In closing for right now, I can say that I hope you like the photographs and you want to "rap a taste" you can either reply here or my email: peligrojose@hotmail.com (I gave you the lame one in case you guys are Spam-oholics). OK, I got a few hours to my Saturday left(you know I feel the sincere desire for spinach and liver, some hot sauce, a little cornbread, but I ll probably get some weak Chinese rendition of whatever served with rice and some over cooked tasteless green vegetable.
