You Rock Dvorahji! You made my souless DAY!!!

Dvorah, you have just ruined your holy image...

Darling observer - I lost my "holy" image the second I stepped into an ashram in India and slept on the floor and went to the bathroom in a hole in the ground, with snakes and God knows what else crawling up the walls behind me.

People are always concerned with their image, It's a waste of life, always concerned about what poeple think of them, how they appear to others. If I cared about my image - I wouldn't put a ridiculous Peter Pan hat on my head and act like a fool! I only care about making you smile - because for a minute you'll get our of your incessesant thinking and just be happy In the precious moment you're in. And if I didn't make you smile, you'll at least grumble about me instead of the nonsense and misery many poeple put themselves through.

You want to protect something? Protect your Smile, protect your peace, protect your foolishness, your silly-ness, you childlike wonder - the hell with your image!

d.,
you look like wavey gravey...

Imposter alert. Imitation is the finest form of flattery - so thanks zappeur!

Wavey Gravy, what a name. Beauitiful isn't it??? He's one of my idols together with Ram Dass - they both gave me hope that there was MORE to this world then the confusion I was living at 26-years-old.

I always loved the quote, "Wavy Gravy is the
illegitimate son of Harpo Marx and Mother Teresa." he's a Fresh Joke in an old body. Adorable...

Connecting dots imagining /wondering - an opportunity for sane policies

I'm excited by what Barak brings to the table.
I hope ladies who are bent on casting their vote(s) for Hillary Clinton
think long and hard with
what is at stake.
Hillary and McCain are not the caliber to interact with persons world
wide. More of ther same.

> Being bought persons they offer no change but much of the same.
Sorry. Hillary hubby's pardoningof Marc Rich and Lieberman's guiding
angry McCain as like a wheelbarrow.

>An Obama presidency would excite peoples everywhere in a belief that
the USA was once
again on a path striving to be the hope of mankind. To have such a
talented human rise up to
become leader of the free world - what a message to send to one and all.
Were he to pick Ms Clinton as VP then we would have :) two black
presidents in the WH. I wonder if he could deal with Bill wondering if
he would tarnish the surroundings as like previously being the case.

>Sharpton (T Brolly fame) Jackson (Jesse) diminished - Obama toppings all.
Whiners of such hues would be quited and their brethern left feeling
that prideful respectability from such presidency - akin to hose whom
John F. Kennedy gave pride and making people of his ancestry proud.
With 85% of the world's people being non white
what a signal to send to friend and foe alike. No more excuses but
being obliged to get on with it.
Son of an an enslaved people rising up within a short number of years -
a miracle I hope for. An America reborn for greatness renewed. Not
serving the interests of those powerful sqeeky wheel lobbyists who
drain us dry by having to protect their specialized statelet through
wars and the loss of our youthful blood along with our brainwashed
mouthings, ala Pavlov's dogs - in the process.
> Just pray that Obama stays true and not stray - somehow I feel his
passion to do right. After some years having passed of insanity I'm
daring to hope.

To Tyler and Esteemed Post Authors:

Note the placement of Comment #7. And all the unrelated comments that pop up all over the place.
Is it possible for the Ojai Post to have a visible Open Thread? Some prominant place where people can post items like #7?

You could post items like #7 anywhere you wanted and distinguish your message with the "name" as your identifying visible open thread. Since the new postings are visible on the right hand side column.

#8 - For now, I'm going to keep Open Threads occasional, and not 'sticky posts'. Thanks for the input though, I'm always open to suggestions.
