MY TRIP TO JULIAN CA went up in smoke like a Cheech and Chong Movie.
Turned north on the I-5 and went to Malibu. They stopped at Topanga for
a "bite to eat". I went inside the restaurant and noticed a pitcher of beer sign:
$15.00 a 30 oz. pitcher with frosted glasses. I refuse to drink Amerikan suds but
out of curiosity I asked the owner why so much? M.A.D.D. complained to ex Gov. Davis
and in order to save votes he wrote in the $9.00 hidden tariff. Go figure!

I'll be getting ready for Pacific Standard Time the rest of the week. Visited Norco CA yesterday. Take THEBIGKOOK, a bazillion flies, 50# bags of horse manure, and 18,000 BIGKOOK lookalikes. Today I go to Julian CA to see thousands of middle aged motorcyclist, with long, thinning, gray hair in a ponytail. You friends are sure lucky you live in the Spanish Villiage by the Sea.

WEDNESDAY IS GOOD NEWS--BAD NEWS DAY. First the bad news. The Annual Pass fee, thanks to Gray Davis, skyrockets to $279.00 per vehicle with a $3.00 per animal surcharge (Nonrefundable) plus a $15.00 trailer surcharge. Now, the good news, beginning 1/1/2004 work starts on paving and blacktop the new asphalt road to the tune of $325,000.00. This amount includes new "Handicap Parking Only", and "Lifeguard Vehicles Only" signs. Included in the estimate it states log refinishing, numbered parking places, and a median line for ingress and egress to the Power Plant.
Our State claims an increase in parking places from 344 up to 800 vehicles. Buy now, don't be shut out. Deadline for the old price is 12/31/2003. More good news, I and my family qualify for the "Golden Bear Pass" at $5.00 per annum. PLUS, I understand there's a 10% Legends Discount.

A CONVOY FROM SAN ONOFRE, after reading about THEBIGKOOK took it upon themselves to visit him at his secret convelescent home in Capo Beach. Were they in for a surprise. His head was shaved, his hair trasplant had taken hold, now his hair is a radiating, bright red, actually it is a "shock of red hair" like Bozo the Clown has.

OUR SEARCH FOR THEBIGKOOK finale bore fruit. He asked we not give his 10-20 until he has fully recovered. He's quartered in a squalid hovel way south in Orange County CA. Two weeks ago he suffered disembowelment
and is bedridden until 10/31/2003. He thanks you for your unwavering support during this time of crises.
