More celebrities passing

I'm getting pretty bummed that my childhood/teen year movie & TV icons are checking out en masse the last few years, it seems. Makes me feel old and long for past days. Clint Eastwood and William Shatner can't be far behind. Those will be bummers for sure.

I liked those guys too. But Shatner’s old man voice has become annoying, and Eastwood is a right winger who wrecked Carmel , so … c’est La vie, c’est la mort. I don’t have personal relationships with either of them, just liked some of their work. They don’t have to keep producing to make me happy. Not everyone has to be Willy Nelson.

How did Eastwood wreck Carmel? Among other things, he bought the Mission Ranch land that was slated to be developed into a bunch of condos and shit. He put a nice restaurant and hotel there with views of the pasture and sheep. Its a beautiful spot.

Its a beautiful spot.

It is. It was more so in the 60s.

Would you rather be looking at a bunch of condos in 2025 (if not for CE)?

I guess that’s a point but I don’t really know - it’s not accessible to me like it was.
I couldn’t even physically go some of those places even if it was.
If it was condos, maybe more people would be enjoying it instead of passing out drunk on Swiz’s doorstep?
I remember paddling down the coast a way on a longboard, and it was SO wild. I was maybe 14, and we paddled out north of a little surf break, we paddled and drifted South, caught a couple of waves but the paddle out was too brutal and the waves were closing out in mush so we just kept going to where my friend’s dad picked us up. It was hours, and miles of crazy coastline… it wouldn’t be like like that now no matter what no matter who the mayor was. Eastwood is easy to point at because he was first to break a lot of ground. But I still like his acting! Nobody better at his characters!
