Just finished reading Peter Byrne's article on the future of Point Reyes in the current (12/9-15) Bohemian newspaper and I highly recommend it. Byrne should get an award for his muckraking research...

A few days ago while shopping at Penney's I found a nice pair of shoes at a pretty good price and purchased them. As I got them out into the sunlight I saw that these leather shoes had scuff marks...

noy too long ago i read a complaint in this bb that a local establishment had defrauded said complainant by not replacing the oil filter change on her car during an oil change. subsequent to that my...

OK, guy, how about YOU make a space for at lest one person where YOU live?

The JRT Community Meeting will probably be still another do-nothing bureaucracy that sucks up time and money. How about using county land and buildings up at Chanate for "relocation". Many of the...

Well, what about the rich who steal the bread from the poor?

Keep in mind that this is in part, a seasonal development. As a long time volunteer at the Morgan Street homeless services center, year after year we saw a doubling of need for people to receive...

I don't care WHAT happens to that damn hospital as long as they stop taxing US for it. Both property tax and sales tax.

I'm not sure it's actually a scam. There are storefronts with people who do DMV work for folk who do not want to wait in line at the state offices of DMV. I have paid $35 and my friend pays $50 for...

What I have done with the big ones is wait till winter when it is only a vine no leaves, then hack it off below ground level at the base with an axe. When shoots reemerge in the spring chop them out...

Very individual issues, countless issues which can become very complex problems. One benefit (provided you survive) Is a strengthening of said individual. Provided she survives.

One thing I would also add are that these "shelters" while a welcome relief from the elements and provide a warm dinner; are also places where predators and the shrewd street wise folk who choose it...

One thing we can do is publicize and boycott businesses that sell it to the public. I was in Sebastopol hardware today and Rooundup was prominently displayed on the shelves of the garden section. We...

Sometimes a poem is a dirge.

Oops, Rossmen; sounds like you drank the Kool aid. I have been working with the 'homeless' situation going to endless planning meetings, etc. At a 'Homeless Summit" some three years ago, projections...

I don't know about the blue pill, (I thought that was a 'guy' thing). However, isn't self-righteousness one a god given right of Sebastopuddlers?

Let's crucify him. Tomorrow, after the farmer's market in the town square.

The solution, Don't build on a flood plain!! The main "defect' was building there.

See that oval in the middle? That's where we are pouring our money.

To the question asking an update on the Graton cannabis proposal; I just read in the Sonoma County Gazette that the public trail has been rezoned Linear Park and that the persons proposing...

Today's New York Times has an editorial by Alex Berenson with the caption "Don't ignore the Risks of Pot". ('What advocates of legalizing marijuana don't want you to know') This article sheds light...

My experience of "the product" relates back to the late '60s and '70s when Thai sticks and Panama Red were the 'bees knees' and pot was what we smoked. What was demeaning was when I was convicted of...

Who is 'everybody'?

Better planning than you have taken in consulting the neighborhood where you propose your project

None of the proponents of this project has addressed the possibility of crimes committed in and against the mary jane industry. How many people need to be killed or ripped off to know that CAREFUL...

These trails are already maintained by Sonoma County Parks, from a government perspective. Probably state and fed funds would only be involved if grants were involved.

My concern is not the structures as ling as there is a proper setback; I'm worried about the large trucks accessing that property by a narrow road adjoining the bike path.

I think you need to roll another one and breathe deep.

Tell that to Trump!

I am not against parks, I often visit them. I am especially fond of the Kortum trail (minus the dog poop) and Goat Rock. However, I feel that park money is not handled well. Trained Rangers do litter...

I do not support this measure. And I am NOT against parks. We pay so many taxes in so many ways that this is just an end run to use our 'other' taxes for things like retirement programs for county...

I can't even see what the boundaries are but I think the creeks should be protected from this proposal. Also the trails need a proper setback.

We need to be careful of making universal statements. If you go 100 miles south you will find A LOT of Republicans. If you go to the mid-west you will find even more - and when I return to my family...

I could be wrong but I believe Sonoma County has at least two of THEIR OWN composting toilets, one at Bodega Head and one at the foot of the Head at Campbell Cove. They are quite deep, and seem to be...

So you only want to see them when there is an emergency or you are in distress? Marines are also civilians.

My reply to this, as it is to the abortion issue, IS: Get your politics our of my uterus.

Above all, DON'T PANIC! That bear does not want to be seen. BTW send it waaay out Green Valley Road, I am ready to be eaten by a bear.

The sad word here is 'thrown'.

Look at the jugs on them,

"Please Mr. Custer, please don't make me go."

Nice visuals Larry, and once again I am sent to consult my dictionary.

What he lacks though is providing the leadership against sexual harassment against women.

I love the idea of this project. Perhaps they could be "walk up" apartments for the un-autoed among us. In the heart of town - new vitality to an already friendly place. Of course there would need to...

Homelessness is a very complex problem. There are no simple answers. Whose fault is it, what are the solutions....As Jesus reportedly said some years ago "the poor you will always have with you"....

Officials are NOT going to really address the problems of homelessness. People who were burned out were sent to Catholic Charities and were immediately spirited away for immediate assistance and...

HOW TO GO TO THE WOODS

Ordinarily I go to the woods alone, with not a single friend,
for they are all smilers and talkers and therefore unsuitable

I don't really want to be witnessed talking...

I surely would not vote for you, were I a Gville voter. Why is it these days that everything gets blamed on "the homeless"? I think that stance is having a negative effect on business in west county....

Did anyone else hear or read the news story that Sonoma County is the preferred tourist destination second only to the Tuscan region of Italy, worldwide. Brace yourselves. As to hammering roads,...

I'm not sure it is silent. Many are still haunted by those experiences. Who can measure the damage done to so many? :heart: My nephew, working in underwater demolitions was personally traumatized...

Beautiful images. Thank you!

Even though I occasionally park there, I like the idea, especially the 'mixed use' part. Just so long as the storefronts aren't shuttered for habitation which seems to be the case on the west...
