      @@whoisharo4689 because California became a liberal shit hole so I bought a house in the woods on 20 acres it’s not quite as good as the ocean but it’s pretty damn nice. I wake up in the morning with anything from deer, turkeys, moose and every now and then we have a bear that shows up. of course he’s not so welcome

      Yeah I was raised in southern Calif, in the 60s and 70s it was so much fun in those days it was crazy and things weren't so expensive or nothing cuz we were poor but it was fun I kind of miss that.

    I loved Griffith Park. So many sweet memories. When my son was little, he loved the Carousel and riding the ponies. He was born in Los Angeles in 1963 and passed away in 2012 in Tulsa 😢. My parents had an apartment on Rodney Drive and had a balcony and we could see the Hollywood sign and Griffith Park was so easy to get to. I can see you have so many followers and they all love your videos. I try not to miss any of your videos. They make me happy, a little melancholy but mostly I enjoy seeing all of my favorite places. Dankeschön ❣️

    It’s wonderful how your love of movies and entertainment goes back so far.
    I watched “oldies” at my Grandmother’s house but they were new to me and brought to life from the greats that came before. That’s how you could see a movie if it wasn’t in the theater. At the same time the great art of film got better and better with sound and effects and cutting edge writers and film editors and actors.
    We are lucky to be fans and lucky to have you bring all of it into perspective. Thank you for great fun.

    won't insult the old man by trying to spell his name, but possible German. He would actually make a shoe for you if you
    wanted, shoe or boot. I'm sure that skill is almost gone now, it is all by machine.

I was shocked too at how small Burt Lancaster’s grave site was. I guess his family tried to save money. He was a great actor. We never know when we will really go. Have to try and live it the best way we can. I do believe in the hereafter. Heaven. But not all will go there. Unfortunately.
