Summer ends: Just Like Heaven (8/22)

Just Like Heaven 2026 PLAYLIST

Stereotypical Southern California summer
When does summer really begin? It's not an astronomical question, as the people into genes insist gender is as easy to assign as reading x's and y's. It is easy if we make it that easy, but it is not so easy when we do not all agree to that as the objective measure.

What is "social summer"?

Mandatory: All Americans must visit a beach.
There's a kind of social summer, which runs between Memorial Day and Labor Day, just an approximation. The seasons do not always cooperate even in parts of the US where four distinct seasons make themselves obvious. There is "Indian summer," which is just a way of saying a long hot spell after official calendrical summer should have ended.

Another example of social summer is the one set by the local school district: When school ends, that's summer. Just ask Alice Cooper! When school begins again, that resumption is the end, even if the weather is still great and drives to the beach are worth the traffic.

"Summer" = School's out!

There did not used to be a "universal time" but rather many different times depending on the place. They were not simultaneous but more dependent on the sun circling (not revolving) overhead chased by the moon. Those were Tartarian (Tartary) times, and that's all been erased now. A universal measure imposes a definition that does not make sense for everybody on the ground.

Another social summer measure is determined by the concert calendar. The end comes to Pasadena, Los Angeles with the Just Like Heaven Festival this Saturday (Aug. 22, 2026).

New weekend, same party

Will there be enough cops to stop trouble?
You will respect my authority...or else.
"Defund the police" was a deception to provoke public outrage. Congress funds new secret police forces and pays them much more now. If police officers want to scam the system, overseers look the other way. Let's make THE PURGE legal for a little while, and then we can use the predictable mayhem and disorder as a pretext to implement some Orwellian policies for "public safety" and a smiley face police state.

PROM: Free adult dance party (6/6)


It's a prom for adults (21+) and a great chance to relive having missed it in high school.
.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Jeremiah was not a bullfrog.
Morongo is an Indian casino complex, and the ballroom was rented out so Woody could relive his frustrated childhood. He missed his prom because he was working and determined to have a career in radio. Now that he has it, gosh darn it, he's going to have a prom experience, even as a fat, depressive radio personality with waning ratings compared to the competition he and lackeys face in Los Angeles. But they're heard around the country and online through iheart.com. It started at 7:00 pm, a lot of people were dressed up, and the others were at least wearing joke tee-shirts that looked like tuxedo fronts. An amazing close-up magician named Jerimiah "Jer Bear" DeMatteis wowed the crowd with impossible feats of sleight of hand and stage magick (that may have had demonic assistance because it can't be explained, like a signed playing card ending up two stories up against the ceiling after it had just been all over the deck with a possibly buzzed Greg Gory holding a bag of Funyuns). DJ Tim played.


Adam Corolla made me famous
Jewish Co-Host Gina Grad behaved neurotic AF. Spaz band played. People played. It ended up being better than last year's. Sadly, Chubs Menace was there, using his phone to zoom in on the card on the ceiling. The gays were making time with him, and then he disappeared. He was as gone as Morgan, vomiting in her car, drunk as a furry black and white animal that stinks, missing three hours of the prom. Rick showed up too early and claims he left disgruntled, having asked the concierge where the big party was and not having the sense to plan ahead. Most people, coming in from all over the country, got hotel rooms at Morongo. "If you fail to plan, [it must mean] you plan to fail." Everyone knows that, even Bork and Menji.

Sami Gurl, meet m' Mom, Mrs. Willie!
Prom update news. It may not even be worth going now. Miss Sammi Marino's new boyfriend, Steamboat Willie, won't let her go. He's planned a family outing to Disneyland with his parents, so she's out. Guess there's always Mel' Morgan, not the pornstar, but the Mellow Melancholy One, the Lucy Goosey grrrl boxer. And Chubs Menace is sure to be snacking on something stup*d.


I was looking forward to it, Woody!
The prom is on for Saturday, June 6th, 7:00 to 11:00 pm at Morongo Casino Resort & Spa. It's free, and all are welcome. We’re taking a trip back in time, back to the ultimate prom night with 1980s cover band The Spazmatics, DJ J. Espinoza, and special guest magician Jer Bear performing close-up magic throughout the event.

Dress to impress for a chance to win prizes for Prom King, Prom Queen, Best Dressed, and more. No spiking the punch. Book a room at Morongo Casino Resort & Spa. Good times, so it's 21+. Dressing up not required but encouraged. No RSVP required.
What is a "prom"?
I need a new boyfriend. Maybe I can meet somebody at the prom. Hold on, Willie's calling.
 
High School prom couple portrait
A prom or promenade is a formal dance party for graduating high school students at the end of the school year [1, 2]. Students participating in the prom will typically vote for a prom king and prom queen [3] and/or a prom pandaka (LGBTQIA+).

Other students may be honored with inclusion in a prom court. The selection method for a prom court is similar to that of homecoming queen/princess, king/prince, and court.

Date Night at the Clubhouse
Inclusion in a prom court may be a reflection of popularity of those students elected and their level of participation in school activities such as sports or clubs [4, 5].

The prom queen and prom king may be given crowns to wear. Members of the prom court may be given sashes to wear and photographed together [6]. Similar events, which may be locally inspired by debutante balls, take place in many other parts of the world. More

School of Self-Reliance Party (12/13)

Native American uses for mugwort, Jeff of Martin Survival featuring Christopher Nyerges

The School of Self-Reliance annual get together (holiday sale and celebration) is this weekend, December 13, 2025, at 10:00 am at Hahamongna Watershed Park. It's not a formal class, but rather sharing survival and food foraging tips, hiking, living in nature, sourcing water, cooking, camping, and looking at products and packs. Stuff is offered for sale by various people. There's lots of food (of course). There might even be live music, as often happens. All are welcome to join for this end-of-year gathering. FREE. (There is no charge to attend). See the list of classes offered by prolific author, nature guide, and regional expert Christopher Nyerges at SchoolofSelf-Reliance.com.
Outdoorsman Ed Parker is featured in the Pasadena Weekly (pasadenaweekly.com) in an article by Christopher Nyerges (Thursday, Dec. 4, 2025). Read it online, pick up a hard copy, or see the one Parker pasted on the wall of the REI in Arcadia so all the customers could enjoy it.

What happened?
It was a spectacular, warm, sunny Southern California day to be out in nature. Participants gathered to learn what should go in a "go bag," a survival pack to meet all expected and unexpected challenges after bugging out or heading for the woods to camp. Christopher Nyerges (author of more than 25 survival, foraging, and prepper books) is very generous and had many giveaways, lots of healthy hiking snacks, and a wealth of knowledge and wisdom to impart.

Village Fall Festival, Pasadena (11/22)

WHAT HAPPENED?
Why gather? To build community.
A thousand or so people from the community and far afield gathered on the grounds of Muir High. The main stage moved to the lawn area to accommodate dancing and grooving to live music and DJ Common. The food trucks were barbequing and one maestro of the kitchen had special raw vegan offerings -- three kinds of savory pizza and plantain cinnamon rolls. The most attractive offerings among all the nonprofit stalls and kiosks was the Healing Village with yoga, breathwork, sound baths, reiki, massage, and energy healing under tents. Even visitors from Pacific Palisades enjoyed it. It was six hours of socializing and visiting a booth to go on camera to tell the tale of Altadena and the area before and after the Eaton Fire.

Kirk killing solved, 6 mass shootings in 24 hrs

No one saw this professional assassin but the camera.

Jeff Rense has solved the Charlie Kirk shooting, pointing out the assassin in action before, during, and after the deadly bullet pierced Kirk's neck, causing him to lose so much blood that he died on route to the hospital in an SUV because no ambulance was available, with the killer probably sitting at his side making sure he died and had no chance of survival. The proof is in the footage below. The more one watches it, the clearer what one is seeing becomes. So it will soon be banned.

Behold, Kirk's assassin (at center right)
(The Daily Show) Sept. 29, 2025: After a string of mass shootings across the USA, America swaps out “thoughts and prayers” for a Left vs. Right blame game, Republicans hypocritically criticize the Democrats’ “violent rhetoric” -- taking no responsibility for the Right’s love of guns, hunting down unarmed animals, and acting as biblical boosters for Israel’s genocide -- and Trump escalates a nonexistent problem by deploying troops to Portland. #DailyShow #Portland #Trump #JonStewart

Who shot Charlie Kirk, right wing Israeli Zionist operative or LGBTQIA+ Mormon?
WATCH: rense.com/general98/video-2.mp4
Here it is again: Watch the brown shirt man apparently shoot Charlie Kirk with a modern high tech palm pistol and then vault the barrier. Pay attention and note that he runs right to Kirk on the ground.... (altnews.net via rense.com) VIDEOrense.com/general98/video-2.mp4

SOLVED: How Charlie Kirk was assassinated - shooter on camera
Jeff Rense (rense.com)

Assassin's armament, covert palm pistol
The importance of this [right side view] video truly cannot be overstated. Without it, virtually no one would have been able to see the murder being committed by an obviously top drawer, cold-blooded, smiling, extremely well-trained [older white male and therefore in a sense invisible and unnoticed] professional assassin [who then jumps the barrier and runs towards blood-gushing Kirk, something no normal person would do if the shot had come from behind and confusion and chaos just erupted].

Modernized more deadly version of the pistol
The murder weapon is tragically ingenious and keep in mind was only produced in the 1890s. The weapon used on assassinate Charlie Kirk just as he spoke those words is likely an updated, upgraded, new high-tech version of an original, very small, Chicago “palm pistol” with a round magazine and tiny 1.5-inch barrel...that sticks out between the middle two fingers of the shooter's hand. 

The weapon is so small that it can’t be easily seen in a human hand, making it perfect for close-up operations from 0-15 feet. See video at the 0:05 point and look right down the barrel of the assassin’s gun at work.


The current ammunition might be a very high velocity .22 short or a custom round, even smaller in size than a .22 short. For more damage, perhaps the original very short .32 caliber is still in use by hired killers.

This is a highly concealable specialty gun of which there were only about 10,000 ever made over 130 years ago. The original idea was to mass produce them for grandma to keep in her purse when she was out and about. More

COMMENTARY
Right wing Christians say kill the fake Christians? Trump MAGA vet shoots up Mich. church
.
Welcome to America: The Dead Kennedys
Problems with this theory: No smoke and not much recoil. The line of fire seems off for slump of body falling to Kirk's left. The loud sound (crack of the firearm) sounds more like a rifle coming from behind than a tiny pistol coming from up front. Which way does a shot body fall? Usually, it is the opposite side of the one he was shot, continuing the momentum of the force produced by the mass of the metal bullet. Will ballistics and forensics experts be looking into it? Maybe on their own time but not officially, as there was no autopsy performed or allowed, even though it is required by Utah law, because who needs pesky facts debunking the official narrative that an LGBT Mormon on a distant roof sent a magic bullet with no exit wound from more than a hundred yards away?
