[mso489]

All over L.A. and vicinity, oil pumps bobbing up and down like iron flamingos dong pushups.

When I lived in the vicinity of L.A. in the late 60's and earliest 70's, mostly in Long Beach with excursions to the city, I actually found it interesting. Not a great walking city, nor does it have good public transportation, but compared to a bunk on a minesweeper, it was a nice change of scene. Years later on a business trip, in my off hours, i attended a festival in the downtown by arts groups -- visual arts, a kind of science fiction fashion show, and music. It was weird but worth seeing, though getting to and from the event was a little dicey, always pretending I was with a group, walking with a crowd.

You hit long stretches of chain link fence topped with barbed wire and windowless brick buildings. I like deciduous trees and seasons a little too well to have considered living there. During World War Ii, my folks had an apartment in San Pedro, before my dad shipped out to the Philippines. Decades before that, two great aunts, sisters, lived for a while in Laguna Beach. I visited both places just for the family history. Nice colonies of seals off Laguna.

MSO, I think this is some of the best prose I've seen of yours on the forum. You were able to give an insight into your last 40 years or so with these flecks of personal history nestled into a collage of varying atmospheres, and times, as if dolloped out of a cannon in two explosive short burning paragraphs. Bravo!

Canadian government invest in factory capable of producing 13 million Kg of crickets per year.

I don't know how much a Kg is, but I'm guessing 13 million of them is a lot.

They're getting the crickets ready for the over populated masses of Canada... Hey, didn't you know Canadians are running out of space and resources?

The entire Human population could fit inside of a 500 square mile area. Los Angeles, for example.

The entire world population could fit inside Los Angeles.

Sometimes a new perspective is refreshing.

I first heard and read a similar article many, many years ago about how the entire population of the world could live in modern three bedroom homes spaced like modern subdivisions inside the State of Texas. And, there was enough money in circulation in the world to actually accomplish it.

Just another pipe dream, I suppose.
