[Time for a new sandbox for the weekend. The old one required too much scrolling to get to the most recent stuff. Anybody willing to give any odds on the Comey Vote. Several of you are so sure that Hillary will pull it off that it seems you're willing to bet the ranch on it. I'm just wondering what kind of odds are all those sure-shots willing to give, or are we doomed to receive only repeats of their staid old verbiage? GJR]

    Barry donates to the Conservative wing of the lawyers. Like Pacific Legal Foundation and others. And he is personally very conservative. His ex is Tom McClintock’s rep here as well.
    I get a kick out the misinformation by eco’;s regarding “big oil” and their “subsidies. Of course there really is no “subsidy” but tax credits and things like that. While the eco non-profits like SBC and all those wildlife people get hundreds of billions of our dollars, direct in grants or tax avoidance. I once tried to find all this in the USDA where billions are handed out and could not pinpoint it. Very sneaky with our money.

    You asked for newer evidence, here you go. Moving grows ndoors is a stupid idea that endangers everyone. Vote No on W and let’s work out a better solution that moves grows entirely out of residential areas and onto large AG parcels. Or is that too sensible?

    Patricia Smith, we are waiting for your proof of Duane Strawser hearing the Harris grow info. If he admits it then you may regain credibility here.

    Hey, Walt, I saw three black choppers over LOP earlier today. Are you sure those aren’t the Agenda 21 troops instead of the narcs?

    Three Black Whirlybirds? Well, I told ya things are going vapor trail out there. Maybe they stopped by to pick up some training ahead of the street fair/fireworks show in Philly this summer. I hope it’s not another boring convention. Bern down the House! Bern it to the ground.

    Some ol’ friends just asked me who to vote for locally and I gave this blog because it has the most discussions locally. Of course some are questionable. Does what Joe Sixpack has to say legit, or is he just another damned democrat liar smearing someone’s name? All I can honestly say is that all things are spiritually seen and known, and have their reward.

    Todd, do you think I care one whit what you think of me? There is no reason I would collaborate this story if it didn’t happen. Even Duane has acknowledged he had a converstion with Sheriff Royal. If what I said wasn’t accurate, don’t you think he would be the first to step up and say so? He can’t because he told too many of us the same thing. And this is not a bad reflection on Duane. He was asking if we had any information if this claim was true or not (rather than spreading gossip).
    The question that needs to be asked is if it is appropriate for our Sheriff to use a untrue smear campaign to undermine someone running for office because he doesn’t support Measure W. Worst, Keith is undermining another patient who found relief using MMJ when pharmaceuticals didn’t help.

    WOW Patrica,, smear campaigns in politics is something new? Just where have you been?
    Never mind how the MMJ gang really BSed the “needs” for the tons of dope that needed to be grown for “local” use, As huge profits were made by shipping over the county line.

    Pattie, that’s so funny you mention Contra Costa County. I am very engaged there. I know that story well. I would agree that 1000 plants covering every inch of a 5 bedroom house is excessive. A few in a garage, etc. is working out everywhere and as we have had no outdoor on under 2 acres in LWW, LOP, AS and so on for years there will be no real increase in our risk factors. Less weed = Less stuff for the Butane Hash Oil idiots. Did you see Boardmans piece for Monday?
    The police blotter will mention a sign theft report on Sat. What is really interesting about the scum bag stealing our signs is that the plates on his car said it was in a junk yard!
    So the question is are they stolen plates or just a stealth drug delivery one time use car?
    The BOLO may net an interesting story. I somehow think no one is surprised by this crime report. 😉

    You must be confused. You make claims and have no backup for them and then get testy when asked for your proof. So, I guess you don’t have any creds here. You libs do the whispers in my experience. No guts to be out front with your “proof”. So, as far as I am cncernced, until you convince Duane to tell us then t is a myth.

    The passing on of information about Mr. Harris has already been acknowledged on KVMR and testified to by the Sheriff. Duane has no reason to add to the story any further. A friendly conversation with a clown like Todd would likely be the kiss of death to his campaign in District 1.

    I’m actually much more interested in Walt’s claim of hellfire missiles and black copters flying over his house with the word CAMP written on them. Walt, please do elaborate on that observation of yours, including your theory of what they were doing here today.

    Hay “jon”.. I failed to mention the Paraquat tanks those attack choppers were equipped with.
    You would have plenty of time to scram from your patch. Those birds made plenty of racket.
    They must have been over LOP when I first heard them in the distance.

    Walt, I heard the racket loud and clear, but it was during my mediation and yoga time so I did not look. Yes, they got close enough to my humble abode to drop the dogs some nice bones. Two of the bones looked like femur bones, possibly human from distant shores, but I digress.. I just figured it was the DNC and Boxer trying to keep Bernie from campaigning in California….of maybe they were escorting underage Honduran and Guatemalan citizens to Modoc County.

    Brad C 7:47 am. I feel your pain. This from a formerly vagabond who use to hop the cattle car trains and ride them all they way through Mexico…..all for ten dollar American to bride the watchman at the border. My search for those flavors continues to this day. But lately, my heart longs for the food in the northern regions of Sourh America. They don’t even know what a burrito is. Go figure. And this may be too much info, but believe it or don’t, Tex-Mex sucks big time, IMHO.
    Saw this and it for some reason I thought about a mysterious sock puppet.
