The "they" you refer to is us. It is our profligate lifestyle (especially that of USAmericans) that has destabilized the climate, with unpleasant consequences we have only begun to see.

"We have...

I have observed what could be a so-called “Chemtrail”. It was coming out of a fairly low altitude jet that was in a MOA air space area.

The what I believe to have been a “Chemtrail” was...

This was my proposal from a couple years ago finally getting started. It's the opposite - these subjects create such contentiousness so quickly, it's for corralling off the people who have not yet...

Jbox -- Maybe you can explain it to me...but do you really think the quality of the conversation on this forum is enhanced by you asking people to go away and calling them an "idiot" for expressing...

Really? Ted Gunderson of all people? You're disappointing me here.

From Ted Gunderson's Wikipedia page:


In a 1995 conference in Dallas, Gunderson warned about the proliferation of secret...

Well, I suppose that couldn't hurt. But if we are going to go there then there is no safe level of just living. We're all going to die.

Whew!

I've been scramblin' for 7-months straight, ever since my 86 y/o Mom fell and re-broke her hip in Orange County. I've attended to her various medical, support and housing needs since then. I...

I don't have any opinion on this thread, but I needed to express my admiration for the epithet. Thankfully it was applied to Dixon, not to me, and...

Barry - thank you for the picture and clarification. The squash in this picture is neither butternut nor acorn. So the sign is incorrect. Are they charging 99 cents for this squash? If not then they...

Thanks, Ted, for that informative article. To those of you who may think my suspicion of some grocery store skullduggery was "a tempest in a teapot" (Hi, jbox, eric, and bill shearer!), here's the...

I wouldn't exactly consider scarred squash a steal for $1 in March. It was picked months ago.

I stopped buying at Best Buy for a similar reason. They advertised a price online, then when I arrived...

Obviously. What concerned me was the fact that the employee didn't take down the misleading sign even when I suggested it and was standing right there observing. I have to consider the hypothesis...

I've shopped at Grocery Outlet in RPk for several years, and haven't noticed any deliberate mis-leading prices. I do know that in any store, we have to be very vigilant about prices on items.
Also,...

This is a bit speculative since I don't know this store or the company.

But I wonder whether a business like this with these prices - while trying to maintain a return on investment comparable to...

Ever since the owner of Whole Foods said he was against ObamaCare and that Americans wouldn't need health insurance if they shopped at his store, I have boycotted Whole Foods. He's a Texas...

Whole Foods needs our support, now more than ever!

Oh, darn, I thought I was gonna get a suitcase or two full of diamonds and gold!!

Oh, well, guess I'll go buy another Lotto ticket.

I have enough Gold and Diamonds... from a Nigerian deal I made last year.

But what about the gold? The precious DIAMONDS?!!!

Yeah, I was one, and it came from Mrs1 @ WaccoBB. But my beloved Sonic's Spectacular Spam Filter caught it.

Some of you (about 100) received a spammy private email from a "WaccoBB user". They managed to get through our defences, but has now been removed. Here's a sample message:



But you know better...

We are indeed fortunate to have a worker owned alternative to Whole Foods. Though I have frequented their hot food bar since it began, they only change their menu about once or twice a week. ...

Like many in our community, I want to support the local non-profit Community Market that opened in the Barlow, for many reasons. Local ownership, local produce, ALL organic, friendly service, etc.

I was standing in front of the canned cat food aisle at Target last night when a couple walked up to buy some cat food. The guy suggested a seafood variety and his friend said, "No. I'm not buying...

I want to echo what Barrie says here. Andy was not a threat or dangerous. Sheriff's deputy Erick Gelhaus is a threat, dangerous, and a killer. The "crime" of this boy is that he is brown-skinned, so...

Just for clarity, Sodium fluoride is what they put in toothpaste and in rat poisoning. It's toxic, absorbs through the gingival mucosa, can be swallowed by children, but is chemically different than...

Thanks for looking out for me Tom. I did not find the comments cruel; just small minded. To criticize someone because they work to correct the dysfunction in politics by directly challenging it from...

When an old man died in the geriatric ward of a nursing home in North Platte, Nebraska , it was believed that he had nothing left of any value.

Later, when the nurses were going through his...

I know about the library finding mechanism. It is simply a mechanism, a technicality easily remedied. There is nothing to stop the Board of Supervisors from adequately voting to fund our libraries....

That's some pretty scrip, but too bad nobody wants it when it gets down to action. The solution for this would be to trade in silver coin, something with inherent value that everyone recognizes. ...

Here is the scrip from the old alternative currency we had in Sonoma County. It was called Community Cash. The bills had really beautiful artwork on them. I have a stack of it still because no...

Well, now that the dollar is in worse shape than it was 5 years ago, and like all fiat currencies have historically done, will also die, I'd like to revive this thread and ask you all what has...

Johnny Otis ('95 Apple Blossom Parade grand marshal) passed on to
great cosmic hand jive this past Tuesday. Might be kinda cool for one
of the local music venues (or ?) to honor Johnny.

For the WWII generation, this will bring back memories.
For you younger folks, it's a bit of trivia that is a part of our American history.

Late afternoon fog is common in Sebastopol, it rolls in from the coast. Ragel Park is a good place where you can see it moving in from a distance.
