Paradise From My Porch. Travels, Travails and Terrors of Northern California from an Off Grid, Green Perspective. Friday, February 27, 2015. Support Your Local Newspaper. The other night I was at a meeting where a gentleman stated he had written a letter-to-the-editor but hadn't seen it in print as he doesn't believe in subscribing to the Chico ER because he doesn't agree with the views of the editorial board and David Little, the editor. To cancel a subscription just because an editor says something you...

Paradise From My Porch. Travels, Travails and Terrors of Northern California from an Off Grid, Green Perspective. Tuesday, October 28, 2014. North Dakota, Jackpot and Early Grieving. I was there to support my piece in ChicoSol. And also to support Measure A here in Butte County (which severely limits the amount of pot that can be legally grown). My point? Of course, I got caught in the rain/snow traveling through the Rockies and the high desert. My window wiper motor burned out just outside of Jackpo...

Paradise From My Porch. Travels, Travails and Terrors of Northern California from an Off Grid, Green Perspective. Friday, June 26, 2015. Two Days that Changed the World. Sometimes life surprises you. Like the Assembly passing SB277. Or the Supreme Court deciding that marriage is just marriage. Or the Supreme Court saving Obamacare. Twice. And I was surprised to see I had the Guest Comment in the CNR last week. That was a surprise when I opened up the page to see my smiling mug. It has been a good week.

Paradise From My Porch. Travels, Travails and Terrors of Northern California from an Off Grid, Green Perspective. Saturday, August 1, 2015. The Death of a Boyhood Home. It was an idyllic childhood with lots of time playing in creeks and hiking the bluffs. Rare was the day that my friends and I weren't out hiking. My huge leg muscles were developed from such exploits. That was Rushford in the 60's and 70's. I miss it. But now that that house back in Rushford is gone, I find myself immensely sad. Except fo...

Paradise From My Porch. Travels, Travails and Terrors of Northern California from an Off Grid, Green Perspective. Saturday, November 29, 2014. Ornish and the American Working Class: Reflections on Heart Disease. A week of mild chest pain sent me to the bookstore to look up Dean Ornish MD. When Ornish originally introduced his program, it was very effective. The problem was that the lifestyle changes required were not sustainable for most people. It was too severe. So how's the chest pain? I joined a gym ...
