Nothing To Say...

but it's ok. Good morning.

Is it just me? I can't find anything in the news to write about this morning.

At first I thought I'd comment about that art shop in Willow Creek that's going to close down because their building wasn't properly permitted, but what can you say about that? Sounds like a problem with government to me.

Then I thought of throwing out a few thoughts on the strike looming at Humboldt Creamery but I really don't know much about that. I was always under the impression that Humboldt Creamery was a nice place to work. Maybe I should apply for a job there? They're taking applications.

Nah. We don't want to blog about Humboldt Creamery today.

In desperation I considered the Eureka Reporter article on yesterday's Taxpayer's League meeting. They had Jill Geist giving a talk on the county's financial status. The usual chatter about how we're going to lose funding for this or that program gets old so nothing to comment on there.

It must be me, or maybe it's a slow news day?

Maybe that's it. I see the Santa Rosa Press- Democrat picked up on yesterday's item about the chihuahua that was found in an Arcata dumpster. Hard to believe they'd run a story like that down in Sonoma County unless they had space that needed filling in.

That must be it: Slow news day. Maybe I'll find something to write about tommorow?

Maybe you could write about how nice it is to have a slow news day.
Hey,at least Mike Thompson is rallying against troop escalation.And the city of Rio Dell wants wants the Palco case moved to Oakland. Those are 2 good news items,relatively speaking.

Fred, if you read the article a bit more carefully, you will, in fact see that it is a problem with the LANDLORD, not the County government. The County is culpable in that they should have communicated with the lessors, but from all indications, the landlord submitted a set of plans, the county sent the plans back with a list of corrections, which were then NEVER resubmitted by the landlord, who then went and did the work without the permit.

I suppose that's another one of those where it's just me: I don't see why people should get government permission when they want to build or remodel something.

Well, if you dont want to the cities to charge for services, then they'd have to charge a toll everytime you came into town.
And the permit fee is for the inspection, which is supposed to insure the building is up to code and wont burn down from faulty wiring etc.
I understand you dont agree with it, but that is the theory behind charges for business licenses, building permits and the like.

Fred it creates standards so you can afford to insure your building...................

Oh what the fuck Fred, why do I even try with you?!?!? You're slow and shitheaded. You will never get it. You're an infantile manchild who only thinks of himself.

Hey remember the last time you were out mowing the Smiths steep lawn? Well, you were shitfaced and pushing the mower uphill. You were too drunk to hang onto the mower, and fell down. As the mower rolled backwards and over your body it turned off. Why? Because government regulation forced your mower company to add a bar that you had to hold against the handle, so that the mower would only run when you were holding it. See Fred, government regulation saved your life!!!!

Quit bitching all the time!

Fred,

Instead of just passively waiting for "interesting" news to be spoon fed to you (like a girly man would do), go out and find out whats going on in a particular issue.

Here's one for you. According to research in
http://library.humboldt.edu/humco/holdings/slideshow2/ , (slide 6)the large timber holdings in Humboldt are a result of land fraud.

That's a local issue that a card carrying Libertarian should care about.

Fred, maybe you could pick up a book to read on slow news days. But dont reread Ayn Rand or Thomas Friedman or Bill Orielly books. I think youve given those enough time.

LOL, Fred. They want you to read Lakoff!
