How about this: "Rabid Hopkins supporter resorts to smarmy mud-slinging tactics after being unable to face the fact that either Hopkins or one of her supporters stoops to dirty tricks."

Dude, if...

First of all, how could I know for sure it came from the Hopkins campaign? As I clearly stated in my original post, the person conducting the survey would've divulge who funded it. As I said in my...

I received a call little while ago from a young woman in Philadelphia who asked me if I would take a survey. She was funny- couldn't even pronounce Sonoma or Mendocino county correctly. Just a hired...

<br><br>

My experience is true assholes never think they are assholes, ( because they are unconscious of being an asshole,) but tend to project their assholeness on everyone around them. As for...

I like to say, how would be if instead of a dog, a human stood outside your window shouting "Hey!" every few seconds for hours on end, would that be ok? ...And of course it wouldn't be. And that...

Thank you Dixon for so eloquently articulating my thoughts and feelings on this subject. This is exactly how I feel. I honestly couldn't have said it my better. bravo!

I am so over blaming the victim of continuous dog barking.

Noise, in any form over prolonged periods can lead to stress and even serious health problems. I know two very sweet older neighbors who...

I just want to preface this questionnaire by saying that I live in the hills of Forestville overlooking a beautiful canyon. As 40 year West Sonoma County resident I have seen lots of changes. There...

Good question. You could write Mary Callahan, who wrote the article. But I have a feeling she doesn't know. A lawyer told a friend of mine he believes someone may have written the parks or fire dept...

Here's the link to today's article in the PD re destructions of driftwood structures:
https://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/20131115/articles/131119664#page=0

there is an article coming out in tomorrow's PD on this event. I'll just say at this point that there's more to this story than I am able to reveal at present, but will post a link after the story is...

I realize these structures have been washed away and rebuilt over the years and are probably not the ones I remember from 40 years ago. Still, I wish they hadn't dismantled them and burned the. But...

What follows is my letter to the editor of the Bohemian. Personally, I am outraged at this senseless act of destruction of these whimsical and artistic structures and sculptures. I also wonder what...

I watched the whole thing go down in this case. These kids literally did nothing to provoke this officer to grill them- they were not acting suspiciously or being boisterous. I watched him approach...

I am sympathetic, as I was hassled when I was a teen in NJ. I grew up in a small town with no understanding of what long hair was about; they assumed being hippies, we must be up to no good. Also, I...

I do not know "countless people" who drink irresponsibly. I do know one person who is in my opinion an addict who happens to be on the periphery of my life. The dude is bipolar, on SRIs, pot, alcohol...

Of course, just as their are countless people who drink alcohol responsibly, so there is a majority of pot smokers who enjoy it recreationally on occasion while holding down jobs, raising families...

The way i see it, we are already too invested as a culture in this technology to turn back. We live in an electronic smog that is only going to get denser. I am guessing that for most of us, it...

By the way, here's Daniel Hirsch, a lecturer and expert in nuclear policy at UCSC who has been widely quoted in the media regarding events in Fukishima following the tsunami. His point is the emf...

So, the question is, are high but sporadic spikes of emf harder on the human organism than continuous low level emissions? No one at present can answer that question. PG&E admits to an average of...

Well, I appreciate the irony etc but...

it's not actually true that the output of cell phones, wifi etc is "1000's more energetic" than that of a smart meter. The reason Pg&E numbers look so much...

I just did.

Thanks for your post. It inspires me to take action too and not just sit around and complain. From what I hear, the barking problem has become an issue with many residents in west county. Apparently...

Too bad we couldn't do this in Forestville. I'm stuck with the bogus opt out fee every month and I swear, my bills have been going up like crazy since I opted out. Just sayin.

Yes, as a matter of fact, I am.

Never a reason to kill an innocent animal, but I can certainly see why someone might entertain such thoughts.
Better to channel them into something regenerative , creative etc.

I love the sound of distant coyotes, owls, foxes etc, but you know, they are generally not heard much around here, partially because of all the dogs. I have no problem with the rare occasions I hear...

Well, I can't go there at all. I could never kill an animal like that. As much as I sometimes wish these animals would disappear, I could never condone anything like that. In truth, I find this...

thanks, I guess its time to get the ball rolling. Next time I will get up and record it and drive over there to identify the house and number. Pain in the butt but it must be done. thanks for all of...

Dude,

I am not stereotyping. I am however, observing. After decades of observing dog owners, this is what I have seen. I have been bitten by a dog on the trail and the owners didn't even...

HMMM. Alexa sounds incredibly cogent and sane for a complete nutcase. As I suspected, the truth lies somewhere in between. it's always about which point of view one chooses to look at the situation...

Sometimes it's not evil, but necessity that places these dogs in confined areas alone throughout the day. By that I mean the owners must go to work to be able to afford to have their home and their...

<br><br>

But since most of these dogs bark at any and everything that makes a sound or moves, and as the owners seem not to respond to their barking when at home, more often that not completely...

<br><br>

Well in my case, these dogs are across a canyon or in a kennel across the street. Either way, too far for an ultrasonic device to work. I don't understand why neighbors object to bark...

https://www.petsafe.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/understanding-barking.jpgI live in Forestville where evidently it is mandatory that every household have at least one and preferably two or three dogs....
