When I moved to California from the East Coast almost 30 years ago, one of the first things I noticed was how trash-free the roads were. Now, I can’t drive a few yards without seeing trash along the side of the road. The Highway 101 exit to Highway 12 is an appalling local example.

THE 91st ANNUAL BOONVILLE FAIR, technically the Mendocino County Fair, has come and gone. The crowds seemed larger than ever in all senses including the diabetic, but also more wholesome in a child-oriented way than the drinkin' and fightin' fairs of the sixties into the early seventies when Slim Pickens, then a rodeo caller, declared Boonville "the roughest rodeo town" he'd ever worked, and he'd worked some rough ones.
MICHAEL SLAUGHTER has died, just as he said he was going to do in his final message to us.
A long-time subscriber all the way back to the 1980s, Michael had sent us an email that said, "Today I die. Thank you for the decades together. Michael Slaughter.”
In Pontevedra, the din of motors and horns has been replaced by birdsong and human voices.
