On Saturday, Heart Of The Redwoods Hospice held its annual fundraising barbecue, “Taste Of The Cove,” at Shelter Cove, on the shores of Humboldt County. There was the usual live music, socializing and tons of excellent food, especially local fish cooked to perfection.

Tomorrow at 8 a.m. I’ll be [read more ...] The following story from Canada was reported by the BBC today. Seems an interesting juxtaposition to yesterday’s double shoot-out at two pot farms guarded by armed men in Mendocino County, California that left one dead.
