Put your kid in this crab

We like the amusing Craigslist ads, here at RR. You just can’t make these up. This from Barter yesterday:
Amusing Craigslist ad from Redding CA
“Asken $65” seems like it ought to be a word, somehow. We all know what he meant. Still, even us locals might be wondering what kind of aluminum boat you might get for the equivalent value of a $65 crab, or crib. And was it necessary to admit that his son has been “out of it for along time now?” Lets face facts here. We’ve all been out of it, at one time or another.
Amusing Craigslist ads. It’s Really Red Bluff.

Shasta Women’s Refuge Crab Feed 2011

We have a place for women and their children to come, when threats and violence overtake their lives. It’s a shame that such a place need exist, but we live in a world where you can be glad that refuge is granted for those in need of it. One of the big fundraisers for this worthy cause is their annual Crab Feed, held at the Anderson Fairgrounds. We went to represent the Shasta Association of Realtors, and I took some photos.


Thanks to all the volunteers and donors! Volunteerism, it’s ReallyRedding.

A picture of a train in Redding

That is all.
Union Pacific train in Redding CA
Where are the aerodynamic Freightliners of yore? These boxy diesel engines have the grace of any industrial machinery where form follows function, but they could use a little more style.

As seen in our rail town one evening recently, it’s Really Redding.
