My best guess--- cats are both predators and prey. As prey animals for larger animals, certain situations, such as eating, pooping, etc. make them more vulnerable. For the time they are eating, their...

If my face is on it, it's mine. I look a lot like Thomas Jefferson.

Ok, this is weird but---
I want to start a running, singing group. Called the Runaways.
I run and I find I often sing songs we are practicing in my choir while I'm running, so I thought it could be...

It takes more than one person to have a coalition, unless you're schizophrenic.

Tomas--- following up on my comment, above, that would be a great idea-- if it works. Keep in mind that, as you know, a very large number of the homeless have mental & emotional problems, drug &...

I have a few different extremely modest living situations on my property. I have had a number of people here who were essentially homeless or about to be homeless. Unfortunately in every single...

I very much doubt he will get the 8,200 signatures he needs. But in the meantime, it is distracting you from the work you need to do, distracting all of us from what really needs to be done and...

And I have posted this notice on Craigslist and Next Door. No responses yet.

Funny--- I never noticed that it was ten years ago! I think I was searching for something else and came across that. The wonders of the internet!

Barry,

I work part-time for Guide Dogs for the Blind and I have a friend (Rick Andres---he lives near you--- do you know him?) who is a puppy raiser for Canine Companions. Being a puppy raiser for...

Interesting question. I have seen the same thing happen. Also, they keep jumping in my pool and I keep moving them to the pond, but I always find some back in the pool (which is chlorinated, so not...

I am about to join a plan called DeltaCare USA. Only a limited number of dentists in this area seem to take this, none of whom I know or have heard of and none in west county. Please let me know if...

descended on me and left this. Not mine to wonder why.

Janel Healy, my BBFFF, graciously and beautifully gave it voice.

I found this out years ago-- so thanks for sharing it more widely.

I do have a small additional twist. A number of years ago I needed a prescription refilled, but didn't want to go all the way to...

My crazy Idea-- The Runaways--- running singers or singing runners.

About two years ago I was running and found myself singing something I was rehearsing at the time. So I thought-- why not---...

I meant it neither humorously nor cuttingly, but quite seriously. There are a number of people, both on here and elsewhere, who have the patience to undertake the Sisyphean (or is it Herculean, or...

Dixon,

In college one of my majors was Philosophy and I read many of Plato's Dialogues. One of my favorites was also one the shortest--- which is significant. In it, Socrates attempts to engage...

I am an animal lover and I have rented to people who have dogs and other animals.

However, it can be an enormous hassle, incur a fair amount of risk and raise all sorts of problems that would...

Exercise. And lots of it.

On my way into work at about 8:15 am this morning, my pickup hit an extremely slippery patch of ice on Bohemian Highway just in front of the post office, did a 180 degree turn, and ended up with my...

Do you have a trailer, RV or similar mobile monstrosity that you need to store somewhere? I have a property in Guerneville where you can stash it for FREE--- at the end of the road, unseen, behind a...

No one supports human trafficking, child porn or child prostitution. That is not the real issue here. This is a very flawed proposition which should not be accomplished as a proposition at all, but...

Laurel,

Thank you for your post which is well-thought out and sincere and has certainly provoked a lot of discussion, which is good.

But I disagree with you for two primary reasons (some of...

The River Choir, based in Guerneville, is seeking new members.

The choir, directed by Sonia Tubridy, sings a broad range of music including classical, madrigals, modern, ethnic and folk. The choir...

I don't think you can--- Barry likes to keep them. You know how most guys have a secret stash of pornography? Well, Barry has a secret stash of old photos posted on WACCO and late at night he likes...

Twice the size of a housecat!? Try again. Bobcats, within the normal range, can easily get up to 40 pounds and the record is 49. (I do happen to have a 25 lb housecat, but he's the biggest guy I've...

I'm a Worther. Now that Obama has released his full birth certificate to satisfy the Birthers, I want Mitt Romney to release all of his tax returns so we can know what he's worth and where it came...

Not necessarily.

If you are familiar with Drake's Equation (which is not really an equation) (and if not, look it up on Wikipedia) you will see that it is an effort to try to quantify the number...

So, if heavy elements were forming at a high rate that early in the universe (700 million years out is quite early) AND if (as some of the other articles on here are pointing out) our fairly recent...

Where better to post my wacky idea than on WACCO?

A while ago I was out running and found myself singing one of the songs I was practicing in one of the choirs I was in. So I thought--- why not?...

At a local school board meeting in a state that shall remain nameless (but it's in the South and probably near Bush It's ranch in Texas) the school board is discussing what foreign languages should...

The Humane Society, on Highway 12, just east of Sebastopol, runs Forget-Me-Not-Farm for farm animals. They will occasionally take a rooster (if they don't have too many).

I'm glad that Dane and Peter both gave detailed answers so I wouldn't have to. So I'll just add two things:

1. You can't accurately "eyeball" stuff that's happening thousands of feet away in the...

Dane,

I really appreciate that you take the time to explain these things to these loopy folks who have no common sense and can’t seem to engage in basic rational thinking. I just don’t have the...

Thanks for posting this.
I had read about this article and actually tried to read the article but it was technically a bit over my head. It was clearly published with an agenda of throwing confusion...

WACCOvians-- MoveOn.Org recently created a website called SignOn.Org where anyone can create a petition.

Barry-- the problem with democracy is that no one ever agrees. You only get 99.7% agreement in the People's Democratic Republic of Korea.

I also prefer the "dirty" brown/sepia one-- it has an...

Barry,

I, like you, am incredibly frustrated-- Obama seems to have dropped the ball big-time. He has completely failed to clearly, forcefully and repeatedly articulate the vision of what America...
