Thanksgiving is upon us! My favorite holiday of the year when all you have to do is eat, drink, and be merry, and in some case make sure Uncle Fred is just napping and hasn’t…

“This Trump Thing,” aka, US Presidency. The US is set to become isolated in its stance on the Paris climate agreement, after reports that Syria is preparing to join the deal. The Paris deal unites…
FROST FANS clamored on after midnight a week ago Tuesday morning in various areas of the Anderson Valley, and probably malicious on the wine industry’s part since insiders tell us there’s no industrial ag imperative at 3am this time of the year. The noise was especially intrusive in the SOBO neighborhood of South Boonville. The fans are so loud you can't sleep through them, even with ear plugs. They are also clearly in violation of the County's unenforced noise ordinance, but the grape juggernaut does what it wants. If these fans were posted in marijuana fields we can be certain the county would demand air strikes to silence them. It occurred to us that perhaps the fans went off in the early hours because SoBo’s wine moguls think we still live in the neighborhood. But wherever you live in the Anderson Valley, you can hear them. They hadn't been activated this season until this morning, never were used this past harvest as there were no freezes.
I have been informed that The Buckhorn is making a slight change to their hours as winter approaches. They will now open on Monday and Wednesday at 4pm. Open on Saturdays and Sundays from 10am-midnight, serving weekend brunch each day from 10am-3pm. And Thursday and Friday at 11am (closed Tuesdays). Menu changes include new “yummy” desserts and an extended pizza menu.
ALSO at 5 o'clock Halloween, the only guy booked into the County Jail so far was Captain Fathom. Last time I saw the Captain, he said Sheriff Allman had given him a "free pass" from arrest, a permanent Get Out of Jail Free card. Looks like Allman revoked it. Seriously, though, booking Fathom for "failure to appear"? Of course he isn't going to appear. At this point the poor guy probably can’t remember his birthday let alone a court date.

This Saturday night/Sunday morning is the end of Daylight Saving Time. If you’re wise like myself (?), you’ll turn your clocks back and get an extra hour in bed! Let’s begin this week with heartfelt…
