Mogtx,I’m so sorry you have to live that way. No one in HUMBOLDT should have to live in fear. But I’m reminded daily of the beauty that surrounds us. I shut out the Bad in order to see all the rest.🕊

He said nothing about fear. I think he was expressing disgust. I think he is entitled to disgust.

Why don’t you turn off your computer too. Your hate filled words don’t add anything to this story. Shut the hell up.

Saying STHU is not a good way to communicate anything except the exact reason he closes his gate.

Pretty negative comment MOGTX. Does every topic and conversation you have always have to turn to shit? Do you ever stop to think that you obsess about tweeking 24/7 and manifest it’s doom around you?
Or maybe you’re just a closet wannabe ! If a tree falls in the forest and there isn’t a tweeker around to blame, does it still have to be about the tweeker? Sad shallow existence really.

Turn off your computer and go outside your residence for a bit mogwog.
Its really quite beautiful out here. If all you see is negative and you dont see the amazing wonderment of nature and a lot of good folks, well i feel sorry for you and suggest you find some other place to live. Not to be mean, if youre this unhappy then maybe its not the place for you.
There are loads of great people here. You probably dont know as theyre usually humble folks who are too busy actually doing something in their community and/or enjoying nature to toot their own horn. Venture out a bit and you’ll see them.
Letting the negative things get in the way of all the good seems the american way right now, but i refuse to let it be the humboldt way. To each their own.

Umm he said about 35% good people not ALL bad. And I agree! I’ve only been here since ’81 so I don’t tell real locals what to think! I know areas like what he’s describing that have fell hard to crappy greedrushers and their ill effects. Also crank has really left the millyard and spread out. How dare you tell him to move from his home! THAT is some self-righteous BS cloaked as “positivity” ! I’m stoked we are about ready to push out the greedrushers and clean shop. Then we can get back to our small gardens and enjoying the beauty around us!

Yes he was right, the lettuce heads are getting antsy already, you can see them out of there cars pacing and jittering, that lost look in there eyes, salivating and plotting their next crime. On can only hope the fiends don’t drag the innocent out of there vehicles and punish them by stealing their bodily fluids.

Right there with you! Always take a hike or a dip in the creek to cut the sadness. Nature don’t lie and we still have a decent slice of heaven here, my friend!

Please no dip in the creek. I’ve seen what goes on in the creeks and rivers around here, not to mention the poison from big grows.

After 9pm. Did they ever get that open?
Or is the traffic piling up (must be backed up to Ukiah by now).
Inquiring minds would like to know.
