Yesterday evening’s salon went well. Here is the link where it will be archived. Comments are still open till 5pm Pacific Time today, so stop by with your comments, opinions or questions. http://firedoglake.com/2010/12/13/fdl-movie-night-one-good-year-2/ I’ll be checking in during the day and will try and reply to anyone before the comments close. Thanks again to FireDogLake for the [read more ...] (Note: this story was from a week and a half ago!

Since the Times-Standard story came out today and many people have been asking me how I feel about [read more ...] Yours truly was a featured guest on KCRW’s To The Point talk show on Monday. KCRW is a major NPR affiliate out of Santa Monica that serves much of Southern California, while To The Point is syndicated nationally to other NPR stations.

Turns out they were full of untrimmed pot. We walked over to the evidence room and opened them [read more ...] By Mikal Jakubal If the full moon of two weeks ago was the “Ripoff Moon,” as my thieving neighbor put it, this dark moon has to be called “Rot-off Moon,” in dubious honor of the brown stem mold that is sweeping Northcoast pot gardens. “Stem mold” or “bud mold,” as it’s alternately called, is a species of [read more ...] By Mikal Jakubal Checking the weather report this morning, it looks pretty typical for August in SoHum: 100° today, cooling down to the high 80s during the week. A small reservoir-worth of water will get dumped on pot plants here in the next day or so. By the weekend, however, they’re forecasting a slight chance of [read more ...] By Mikal Jakubal Things have been a bit slow the last two weeks on the film production front. I was out of town and then had a cold for a few days, so didn’t do much. My participant who had the emergency surgery a couple weeks ago is doing well. Tomorrow at 8 a.m. I’ll be [read more ...] |
