I'm in Fort Bragg right now. On my way back to Smith River in a little while. But I don't see anything like snow anywhere or any badtude on the weather map....
The snow was way up on the summits of the Coastal Range. So there were only some clods of snow by the side of the road in a few spots on the way home. BUT, knowing this, and seeing the Trinity Alps all white as heck, I ducked down the Newton P. Drury Scenic Parkway to stay down with the grandpas instead of using the fancy freeway bypass that goes way up the range again to spare the redwoods the intense exhaust problem in the summer. There are some spots up there that don't get any sun in the winter and if there was snow and ice up there last night, which there had to be, there'd still have been some there tonight.
They told me at the grocery store it's supposed to snow again tomorrow.
It musta come down pretty low last night because, even skipping the pass up here, I saw snow clods at only about 300 feet....
Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable. —John F. Kennedy
The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't so. —Ronald Reagan
Some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak. —Martin Luther King
We're all fucked. I'm fucked. You're fucked. The whole department is fucked. It's the biggest cock-up ever. We're all completely fucked. —not uttered by anyone in charge lately
Anyone calling Obama a leftist, liberal, or progressive needs to have the stupid beat out of them. —Old Uncle Dave
As for the Taliban ... their stated grievance is the same as Gen. Washington’s in our war with the British: If you want this war to end, get out of our country. —Pat Buchanan
Obama-era drone warfare ... in general looks like Bush-era drone warfare on steroids. —Scott Horton
There has to be altruism in the universe. —Frank Drake
The morons in Washington are pushing the envelope of nuclear war. The insane drive for American hegemony threatens life on earth. The American people, by accepting the lies and deceptions of “their” government, are facilitating this outcome. —Paul Craig Roberts
I am a child of the South. Janet Napolitano tells me I need to be afraid of people who are labeled white supremacists but I was raised around white supremacists. I am not afraid of white supremacists. I am concerned about my own government. The Patriot Act did not come from the white supremacists, it came from the White House and Congress. Citizens United did not come from white supremacists, it came from the Supreme Court. —Cynthia McKinney
No one has to "marry" anyone else politically; no one has to embrace every tenet or belief that an anti-imperialist ally might hold. You simply have to say: "All of us, regardless of our other views, believe this truth to be self-evident: dismantling the empire will bring immediate and enormous benefits to our nation and to the world." —Chris Floyd
The power of the people on top depends on the obedience of the people below. —Howard Zinn
...the government only starts listening to its voters once the more corrupt option turns out to be untenable. —Matt Taibbi
· One out of seven American homeowners will probably lose their homes by the end of 2010.
· Only 4.7 percent of distressed homeowners who enrolled in the modification plan have gotten any help.
· Out of Obama's $75 billion program, only $2.3 million has been spent—or 0.03 percent.
Obama's performance on the foreclosure crisis—along with unemployment, the biggest problem America faces—makes Bush's laissez faire approach to Hurricane Katrina look caring and loving in comparison. If ever there were a cause for impeachment, look no further. —Ted Rall
As self-appointed champions of civilisation against barbarism, they fail to see that a certain barbarism is the flipside of civilisation itself, inseparable from its smooth operation. For every cathedral, a pit of bones; for every artistic masterpiece, human wretchedness and back-breaking toil. —Terry Eagleton
Here at home and throughout the world people are fighting back against the forces of wealth, privilege, and militarism — some because they have no choice, others because they would choose no other course but the one that leads to peace and justice. —Michael Parenti
I've found that culture, however useful and important, is neither the foundation nor the ceiling of human experience, even if it is commonly used for walls. —Thomas Cleary
I really consider President and Mrs. Mubarak to be friends of my family. So I hope to see him often here in Egypt and in the United States. —Hillary Clinton
