100th Post, Wailers and Legal Intrigue


You may know or you may not know, I intended for about the last 50 years to go to Law School.
I have likely changed my mind. Altho in possession of a BA and being a paralegal, I found in 2 years of Cube Farm Job Hunting, that because I am very very old, no one would hire me.
Pish, you may say: "They didn't hire you because you are weird." And you may have a point.

But one of the last classes I took in legalworld was Employment Law.
I learned how companies give the appearance of fairness to avoid age-discrimination lawsuits while actually recoiling from hiring anyone over the age of 40 unless we be talkin' super-talent...you know, those who are a cruel capitalist who live only to pump up CEO salaries and stock market value for investors at the expense of our general welfare.....
here's a link to a blogstory thing....about an age-discrim suit against Starbucks.....(ever wonder why everyone working there is 23 1/2?)
OK, now on to Tacoma.
The Wailers , Wailers, without the The, Lawsuit. (dig?)
via Seattle Trademark Lawyer, who defended the Jamaican band of Bob Marley fame.
And I'm just telling you this to tell you this:
GET BUSY !!

WELL, I am working on my art portfolio....really. This is part of it. I have 2 rather public projects I am working on..they require stuff, so I have to collect the stuff I need for them. But I will start on another that I can do almost immediately.
This shop is a front/workshop for nefarious activities -- you know -- poking fun and disparaging the uber-capitalism of it all.

and for my 100th post, I want to tell you my favorite color of the week is olive.
It makes an appearance often in my favorite color of the week paradigm.

Oh, that's a Gratuitous Picture of the new Amy Winehouse.

Memories..from the corners of my mind....


whilst spending quality time with my cute husband, he found this for me:









I'll be adding this to my collection and I found a Dock St Bar tank top....with the silkscreen quite askew......I guess I'll have to pad one side more than the other to get the pelican to stand up straight..altho...maybe that's how one looks after spending time at the Dock !
I know that's how I stand....
