Oh, those Oregon kids
Every year, I like seeing the videos produced by Oregon college kids letting off steam at Lake Shasta. Youth! Unfortunately this year was marred by social media images of trash left behind from partygoers. That’s too bad. Slaughterhouse Island in … Continue reading
Heavy river flows in Redding
After 4 years of drought, it really is somewhat disturbing to watch high water flows in the Sacramento River as it flows past lovely Redding California. Knowing the water won’t be stored downstream for later in our hot Summer. Drawing … Continue reading
Bold action to protect future generations
To me, the danger seems clear enough. Some won’t agree. Even if you don’t, the potential calamity that awaits our grandkids is too much to risk. And so we must err to the side of caution in any event. This … Continue reading

Comments Off on Bold action to protect future generations

In opposition to the Moody Flats Quarry
Every citizen of Shasta County should read the draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for the proposed Moody Flat Quarry north of Shasta Lake City. They are taking written public comments until December 18, and you need to voice your opinion. … Continue reading
Yes on Measure B rally strikes an optimistic chord
A few images from today’s enthusiastic Yes on B rally! The measure seeks voter approval to enable that a 4 Star Sheraton Hotel be built on this patch of shovel ready dirt. Dirt which currently produces ZERO revenue. We need … Continue reading
High speed rail to Redding
My friend Dave Rowney posted an image on Facebook that sparked my imagination. Okay, so this is actually the TGV train from Paris to Barcelona. And then I added the Redding destination sign. A person can dream. I’ve posted about … Continue reading
Growing California larger instead of splitting it north and south
There’s been talk (again) of splitting California in two, north and south. What if a better idea is to grow California into a larger nation/state instead? Would the trade-offs inherent in becoming a larger western state be offset by the … Continue reading
