This is My World....
It is time for the world to know more about my incredible
city. Santa Barbara is a small town with all the qualities to be the named the best city in the world. There is more than
one museum, not to mention all the rich history of the Santa Barbara mission. The Pacific is only minutes away, and the mountains
right behind my yard. There are plenty of restaurants and shopping venues. In addition to that more than three solid colleges
with wide world reputation. Last but not least, I should also mention the great number of vineyards, located within driving
distance, which produce world class wines. As you probably imagine, we have incredible weather almost everyday!
Now let
me add, flying racing pigeons in the central coast is like flying in heaven. When driving north to train pigeons, I thank
the almighty for the amazing views. On shipping nights, I have the great fortune to go south and drive by downtown Santa Barbara; a
place infested with nothing but gorgeous women. Anyway, I thank the almighty for that too. So welcome to Santa Barbara nation!!

P.S Did I forget to tell you? Airport, railroad, and freeway are all a minute away. Hollywood
is only 90 minutes away. San Francisco 5 Hrs Away. Mexico five hours away. The Fabolous Vegas Five Hours away also. Amazing,
just plain and simple, amazing! We must be located in the center of the the planet earth. God bless my world. God bless you!
God Bless America. The land of the brave. The land of the free. The land of the most gorgeous women. Amen.

Food/Italian Foods/My Mama's Food/ No chicken/ No pork/ No Pigeons/Now think about it:can we really fool our genetic make
up and not eat meat for 24 hours. My stomach is ready for some protein now. One thing I almost forgot to mention; we not only
live in wine country, we also dwell in a territory landscaped with amazing avocado and lemon orchards. Avocados,
what can I say, amazing fruit that goes with any food combination. Try it, you owe it to your system. Lemonade and red wine
sounds simple, don't fool yourself is an amazing combination. I think Tabasco sauce is over rated, you should try habanero
peppers. My,that's a real spark.
Favorite Masters of the Brush:
You
have to name Picasso, what a guy, he created thousands and thousands little creations now floating around the globe.
Dali was in a league of his own, so was the great Pollack. How about the masters of the renaissance, mighty mighty, lord have
mercy those guys were way ahead of their time.
Don't forget the two big M's, masters in their time, dead now but forever
alive!

My Hobby and Other Vices:
There are so many other amazing pigeon sites in the
net these days. Interestingly enough, you are still here having fun with this humble man. I thank you for taking the time
to read my page and my other non sense, which in a way makes sense, so lets continue.
There are about an average of
7 members in my beloved Santa Barbara Racing Pigeon Club. Please don't be deceived by the number, and no disrespect to other
clubs or affiliations, the majority of those magnificent seven are some of the best competitors in the wild wild west! Outstanding
pedigrees too!
My (Tri City) combine stretches north to south in a 50 mile radius. We have an average of 25
members in any given sunday. We get along really well for the most part. Two major functions happen every year; a summer barbecue
with a pigeon show is a good way for members and family to socialize in a good friendly way. The winter banquet is scheduled
to present awards and plaques to the few and the proud who win races on race day.
There are some secrets, look for
them later, they are right at your yard. Don't buy the most expensive birds, it takes work to be the best!
Other things to do in this region:
GOLF
there are many spectacular courses with heavenly
views
Casino
if you like the adrenaline rush of gambling we have one
Bar/brewery
many good places if you like

Wineries

Anyway, if you're still here; follow me, Im warming up. It gets better!

My Love and Respect:
I truly admire all the people who built this nation. There
are so many heroes forever present, eventhough they lived in another era, they live in my heart. No matter where they came
from, or what tittles they had. Their legacy will go beyond just the past. This is, without a doubt the greatest nation
in the world. Where else can you find so many heroes; we've had inventors, scientists, tycoons, rock stars, artists, photographers,
writers, actors, gorgeous actresses, musicians, feather merchants, Me-Myself-I.
What can I say about those who live today. I will never
finish my list. I think God is my Hero, he invented me! He helped create the USA. Wow. Long Live America!
