Redding smokers going all the way to Medford? Why not here?
An interesting story in the Redding Searchlight -Record. Did you know there are NO cannabis dispensaries in Redding? They’re driving clear to MEDFORD for their weed! I guess officially its 150 miles to there or to us, but what a shame to lose that business to Medford.

Should You DIY Your Home Security?
Unfortunately these days, it seems we need to think about defending our castles, not just occupying them. Our friends in Redding, the Nerd Chicks, published this thoughtful piece recently in the Searchlight.
Their whole article is HERE.

Bus Service to Connect Redding and Sacramento
An additional piece in the North Coast transit jigsaw puzzle will come online soon. Read about it HERE. The Shasta County transit folks have applied for a $19M grant which would include development of feeder routes, possibly to connect with Humboldt. We can only hope.

Merle Haggard- A Great Californian
Who isn’t sad about the passing of the great Merle Haggard?T
“The first thing I remember knowin’ was a lonesome whistle blowin’,
- And a youngun’s dream of growin’ up to ride,
- On a freight train leavin’ town, not knowin’ where I’m bound.
- And no one could change my mind but Momma Tried.
- One and only Rebel child from a fam’ly meek and mild
- My momma seemed to to know what lay in store,
- ‘Spite all my Sunday learnin’ towards the bad I kept on turnin’,
- ‘Til momma couldn’t hold me anymore.
- And I turned twenty-one in prison doin’ life without parole,
- No one could steer me right but Momma Tried, Momma Tried
- Momma Tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied
- And that leaves only me to blame, cause Momma Tried
- Dear ole’ daddy, rest his soul left my mom a heavy load,
- She tried so very hard to feel his shoes,
- Workin’ hours without rest, wanted me to have the best
- She tried to raise me right but I refused.
- And I turned twenty-one in prison doin’ life without parole,
- No one could steer me right but Momma Tried, Momma Tried
- Momma Tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied
- And that leaves only me to blame, cause Momma Tried”
This song is pretty near perfect. Merle, you will be missed. Happy trails.

Three Things I Didn’t Know Until Now
Forwarded for your edification:
‘Fraid of spiders? Get used to them. Every household in the United States harbors about 100 of them. But they only kill about seven people a year. Snakes kill five. This was in Better Homes and Gardens so it has to be true.
That actor who plays The Asshole in the National Car Rental ads, the guy who doesn’t want to talk to mere humans and negotiates a raise with himself, is Patrick Warburton, who played Elaine’s idiot used-car salesman boyfriend, the one who told her she was going to Hell. I sure didn’t recognize him. Guy is a genius. I didn’t used to appreciate those ads but I’ve seen the light.
The unemployment rate in Shasta County is 8% according to the Redding Searchlight-Record. That’s compared to 5% for Humboldt County.
(Bonus) According to the same paper, Red Emmerson of Sierra Pacific Industries is still rich. In fact, his Forbes ranking increased from 481 to 435 while his worth remained about the same, meaning some folks above him in the list had a tough year. HERE’S the story.
(Another bonus) Wild Rose Farm in Blue Lake is the larges quinoa producer in the US. You would have known that if you’d read the Greenway newsletter last week.
