California Beach - NICE!!

Between LA and San  Francisco the road meanders along the coast with small towns and many beaches to explore.  There are no crowds here, and it seems like a very laid back place.  It's a California that many people are looking for and finding it is as easy as leaving the bigger centers behind.

California - driving along the coast

The scenery is spectacular, lots of beaches, hills, wildflowers but there is also agriculture, farms and the smell of the strawberry fields is intoxicating.  Driving along on a hot summer day at 60 - 70mph, windows down, the smell of the strawberries just fills the air. And luckily there are fruit stands to be found.

BEST Job in the World!! - YouTube

We have the Best Job in The World thanks to Google AdSense and YouTube, traveling and experiencing life.

Although it would be easy to become jaded and only focus on the beauty we find which many do, I will always strive to present alternative realities. One example of this is talking about the environment, global warming, reefs dying and habitat loss. We all have a responsibility and we feel most fortunate to be able to live our dream but that doesn't mean we lose sight of everything else.

Thank you for watching.

"Pink Slime" Found in 70 Percent of the Ground Beef - YouTube

You are what we eat, so if you eat a lot of hamburger, 'ground beef' than you are made up of - "Fat, sinew, bloody effluvia, and bits of meat." Oh, and ammonia.

This slop was sold primarily as PET food ten years ago, but not now. Some low life found a way to make the rejected fat, sinew, bloody effluvia, and occasional bits of meat cut from carcasses in the slaughterhouse into 'people food'. So we are supplementing our diet with GARBAGE.

Beef Products Inc. of South Dakota transforms trimmings into something they call 'boneless lean beef.' In huge factories, the company liquefies the trimmings and uses a spinning centrifuge to separate the sinews and fats from the meat, leaving a mash that has been described as 'pink slime', which is then frozen into small squares and sold as a low-cost additive to hamburger."

"BPI produces more than 7 million pounds of the mash per week, making it the world's largest manufacturer of this frozen product. BPI explains that its product is mixed into most of the ground beef sold in the U.S. - at major fast-food restaurants, supermarkets, and school lunch programs."
