In San Francisco, it seems [to me] every young person under 24 years have a medical cannabis card . . . for immediate recreational use. To not have one and a swisher is abnormal . . .

Charles in Venice, Italy, 1990s

I came across an old image of myself when I was younger and 140 pounds and had all of my hair, a mustache and the same amount of teeth as I do now. Only then I was in Venice, the most beautiful city on Earth. 

Thoughts of Venice and Italy evoked me to smile immediately.  So fondly I remember that most gorgeous of cities where every step and movement and even the rare silence is memorable  of winding canals and palaces and glass and doors and windows and even the pigeons in San Mark's square where  I ate Venetian gelato and saw the blackest of tall skinny African men selling gadgets so excited me.  

Italy (for me) is the most beautiful of countries along with America's Far West on Earth.

If all the worlds in the universe had a contest of the most beautiful I suspect Venice and Italy and America's Far West would be among places chosen to represent the Earth...

What is a gamecock?  A big old Rooster chicken.  One after the other he takes  on all the barnyard hens with effortless passion whether they feel like squatting or not. He has no shame about chasing down a resisting hen until she simply shudders and then squats for his presence.  After flapping his wings madly and getting off a hen he just overpowered in about 4 seconds of action, he dances around the hen with one wing flaccid and open and shows her one eye to remind her he's king of this castle.  And through the barnyard he struts making sure no other cock is about or after his hens.  Every hen in the yard is his; every hen  shall have no other cock.  As the sun rises in the morning he crows the loudest to the sun as if he owns it...

Better yet, let's have real South Carolina Gamecock basketball players tell us just what is a Gamecock...
