A Series of Tubes

.

Here are some images from my cell phone.  I’m cleaning it out:

I like to walk.  Just to get where I’m going, that is probably my preferred mode of transportation.  For this reason I hate LA:

Where did my sidewalk go?

Yes there is an apartment complex in LA called Crapi apartments:

Apparently there are frats and sororities at UCSC.  I didn’t get a close up but what you can see is a group of fratties playing beer pong (except with root beer since they are not allowed to have open containers and there are probably minors).

Every once in a while the quacks from action chiropractic have their setup going near the bookstore.  In order to be a certified chiropractor in the US you need to have taken 60 units from a chiropractic college, aka a quack school, and have paid a $100 fee.  After which time you can get people to stand on the contraption below.  Basically it has a metal frame with latex tubing that the chiropractor, shown at right, adjusts behind your back.  After positioning the tubing however he feels like it, he then gets you to turn around and view your spine alignment as depicted by the unaligned tubes.  When you look at the non parallel lines you then realize how much you need to go to their offices and get an Xray of your body (the real money maker) along with other expensive tests and procedures:

I feel bad for the guy on the device.  The two chiropractors would introduce themselves as doctors despite the fact that your vet needs more training and has way more restrictions and oversight than these guys do.  I’m more of a Doctor than the 2 guys that were there.  The sucker on the device really thought he was getting good sound medical/health advice.
