Default Don't Worry Be Happy!!

Harry,
I hate to tell you this, but that bridge was built using illegal immigrants
from Mexico and China. I understand they won't even allow a union member to
cross the bridge.

I hear it is heading for a red state.
No, no, no. I'ts heading for those godless commies in China.
But where will you go for authentic (even if spoiled) Chinese food?

San Francisco!

Dislexics of the world, untie!

Ah, yes. Chinese food in SF. A treat.
A great thing about SF, of course, is that the righties hate it.
I don't hate San Francisco - I mean they invented Rice-A-Roni.




Great place to visit. Nothing beats a Saturday or Sunday morning at Pier
39.

We saw the Pacific fleet come in last time I was there. Quite a site to
see.


Next time you;re out there, check out the Dead Fish Restaurant overlooking
the Sacremento River.

You'll see a beautiful union-built bridge. Two of them, in fact. The newer
one is named after a union worker who helped build the first one.
I took the construction elevator up to the top of the new bridge towers
before it was completed, scariest ride of my life, for the view and to
take some photos for a magazine.

Food was pretty decent at the Dead Fish.

Default Don't Worry Be Happy!!

"Narcissists are grandiose. They live in an artificial self invented from
fantasies of absolute or perfect power, genius, beauty, etc. Normal
people's
fantasies of themselves, their wishful thinking, take the form of
stories --
these stories often come from movies or TV, or from things they've read or
that were read to them as children. They involve a plot, heroic activity
or
great accomplishments or adventu normal people see themselves in
action,
however preposterous or even impossible that action may be -- they see
themselves doing things that earn them honor, glory, love, riches, fame,
and
they see these fantasy selves as personal potentials, however tenuous"

"Narcissists' fantasies are tableaux or scenes, stage sets; narcissists
are hung up on a particular picture that they think reflects their true
selves (as opposed to the real self -- warts and all). Narcissists don't
see
themselves doing anything except being adored, and they don't see anyone
else doing anything except adoring them. Moreover, they don't see these
images as potentials that they may some day be able to live out, if they
get
lucky or everything goes right: they see these pictures as the real way
they
want to be seen right now (which is not the same as saying they think
these
pictures are the way they really are right now, but that is another story
to
be discussed elsewhere). Sometimes narcissistic fantasies are
spectacularly
grandiose -- imagining themselves as Jesus or a saint or hero or deity
depicted in art -- but just as often the fantasies of narcissists are
mediocre and vulgar, concocted from illustrations in popular magazines,
sensational novels, comic books even. These artificial self fantasies are
also static in time, going back unchanged to early adolescence or even to
childhood; the narcissists' self-images don't change with time, so that
you
will find, for instance, female narcissists clinging to retro styles,
still
living the picture of the perfect woman of 1945 or 1965 as depicted in The
Ladies' Home Journal or Seventeen or Vogue of that era, and male
narcissists
still hung up on images of comic-book or ripping adventure heroes from
their
youth. Though narcissists like pictures rather than stories, they like
still
pictures, not moving ones, so they don't base their fantasies on movies or
TV."
