The perpetrator? One Miss Soozy.
The crime? Walking on me & B while we’re sleeping, 2:00am, 5:00am. Back and forth, up and down. I pet her for a bit, she sits on B, who scratches her chin. She stops and The Puffball starts rubbing her cold, wet nose on any part of Keith not under the [...]

Reading this article on SF Gate about a Pitbull Rescue group responsible for Vick’s remaining dogs after his arrest. Her eyewitness accounts are beyond disturbing. The way Vick and Co. tortured these animals goes beyond ignorance or misunderstanding.
We’re talking a special kind of evil. One that really can’t be reasoned with or rehabilitated. At least, [...]

ME wanting to beat rubberneckers senseless with their latte cups.
The culprit? Petaluma Pumpkin Patch, just north of Petaluma, starting the incline towards Cotati. What’s the freakin’ deal, morons? It’s a PUMPKIN PATCH! I could see slowing down traffic if Michael Jackson, Elvis or a reunited Beatles were suddenly jamming for the 101 drivers…but they’re not.
You’re [...]

Wasn’t really interested in this DVD at first. Already got the concert video that came with the Revelation package. But I had to seek out a Walmart to find the new KISS album (packaged the same way as Revelation, new/old/DVD) and right next to it was the Live in Manila DVD for ten bucks. Like [...]

I’m reading this article in today’s Marin IJ about a couple hiring halls opening in Novato and San Rafael. A quick quote from Richard Halstead’s piece…
“The new opportunity centers will provide workers with access to bathrooms, running water, computers, Internet service and phones. They will serve as multicultural, multiservice centers providing temporary workers with classes [...]

Alright, SCAM might be a loaded word, perhaps exaggerating, maybe unfair. But even though I’m based in Marin County I’m going to detail my recent experience to the Big Island and let you be the judge, perhaps dodge the timeshare insanity like I did.
Flew into Kona last month. For the uninitiated it works like this; [...]

Dragged the girlfriend and her parents to the Sausalito Chili Cookoff yesterday. In one word…
LETDOWN!
There were only seven booths competing in the tasting. SEVEN??? Last year there were at least twice that. And Petaluma’s cookoff had at least twenty something competitors, along with a salsa competition AND a beer garden where you could pass out [...]

Never been to a town hall meeting before and seeing the news reports of obnoxious inbreds hijacking such gatherings with inaccurate rhetoric I went to Petaluma last night to offer a voice of reason. Or at least fill a seat with someone who wouldn’t scream uneducated absurdities at our congresswoman.
The good news was that the [...]

Made the rounds at the Healdsburg Guitar Festival last weekend. So many amazing acoustics & players you get kinda numb to it all. I lost track of how many beauties passed through my fingers, though I logged in some quality time with one of Kathy Wingert’s guitars. Kathy gave me a cool chance in a [...]

Intimidating? Seriously, that’s the lamest fear tactic ever.
Exactly how long should we debate a decent health care plan…forever? Health insurance companies and hospitals would love that, as they get wealthy at the expense of our health. We’ve been discussing this stuff for decades…enough!
The worry for me isn’t how fast we move; it’s the transparency. Will [...]
