The 5 living presidents that have guided this country for a combined 32 years unanimously oppose Trump, how much clearer can it be? How foolish can one be to be blind to the wisdom of those that have already navigated the path? If anyone could or would have the knowledge and understanding of whether Trump is a bad decision and whether Hillary is a safe decision, these 5 humans are the ones to know.

I believe in honest ethical treatment of people. I believe in compassion towards those in need and accountability held against promises made. I believe in hard work towards your goals rewarded. And free rides denied. I believe that sharing successes with less fortunate is enjoyable as is deeply appreciating a helping hand while in distress. Am I to be labeled a liberal? Am I a conservative? Am I just a person that finds a balance between selfish and selfless? What am i?

Here is a picture I took 2 weeks ago at the Berlin Wall. It is a crew awaiting the next flock of tourist to scam in a con game called "the shell game" . The guy pointing at me is the one that moves the shells, the 4 people in front pretend to be bystanders winning money, the two against the wall are lookouts. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_game So I have explained all this and it is a fairly obvious and transparent scam that takes money from the naive and foolish humans. Now that you have this info you are faced with a choice. Should you encounter a similar situation do you play and believe you will win or do you avoid as you are aware it is a con? This is very similar to what we see with Trump, he is a con, it is clear and obvious. What puzzles the mind is why do Trump supporters dive head first into playing the shell game?

Found a cool pile of old business cards probably mostly from the early 80s. Vertec Gauss, audible Sound systems. Maybe if you recognize people help tag them? Either that or call the phone #s and ask for them.

And this would be my world and view. Got my superwedge cue time delayed to the mains, a nice clear ground level view and my friendly boat anchor of a board. 25 years with #chilipeppers and am thinking I would rather retire than switch to a board I don't want to mix on.

Four of the 8 remote controls for the truss spots. This means that instead of 8 humans climbing into the altruistic above stage and sitting there the entire set, they sit back stage and control the spots and have a dedicated video screen to see. #chilipeppers
