Dude, I feel you, I like to ride my bike around town too, but you're in completely dark clothing with no reflective surfaces or lights from behind. And riding like that in the lane with cars all around you while there's a bike lane (not in the picture, but before this).....I could barely see you at all. Sure, your front light might help you see in front of you, but man.... from behind, you were almost invisible =\

If you arrived at the airport at/around 11am for your outbound flight you all gracefully endured one of the biggest TSA meltdowns I have ever witnessed. There were two, large, outbound flights leaving at roughly the same time. One for 150 pax and another for 163 pax. They also had numerous 40-70 pax flights all in the same 1.5 hour period. 55 minutes in TSA line and we hardly moved three feet. (1) TSA agent checking ID’s and 3 TSA agents working the security conveyor. They repeatedly pulled passengers ahead of the line if their plane was about to depart. At one point, 20+ passengers who’d been in TSA line for 55-75 minutes all yanked to the front. The one TSA agent shut down the line and only took TSA pre-check passengers for 32 minutes straight.

To the persnickety United gate agent checking boarding passes after security line and giving crap to passengers and telling them “that’s why you’re always supposed to arrive 2 hours before your flight”…Bish, we WERE there and in TSA line 110 minutes before our flight. TSA and ACV are the ones that dropped the ball when they crammed all those flights in and had no plan for getting everyone through security on time.

Amongst all this chaos, you know who was amazing? The people! The fellow passengers that were in the same line of misery all banded together and voluntarily made sure they organized the line based on people’s departure times and looked out for their fellow citizens.

To United: I love your airline and I’m a huge fan. But today, your staff in the boarding area lacked situational awareness and made an stressful TSA meltdown even worse:

To ACV: I’m all about the air travel volume. Love all the diverse destination options. Love the increased frequency of flights. But your TSA situation needs expansion and staffing to keep up with your aggressive roster. And the Clear pre-check program needs its own agent

To TSA: I know you all had to cut many corners and let some stuff slide to get people through. And while I truly appreciate that, for everyone’s safety, please advocate for expanded TSA ID checking booths and improved bag screening equipment. Y’all need a better plan for the dealing with the large YOU increase in Clear pre-check passengers too.

What’s up with it? Who buries pets there? Is it just the land owner’s pets? So interesting….

Felt snubbed by a greedy landlord who has held your living situation in their tight and greasy fingers? Been endangered by unsafe living conditions? Get a fraction of a security deposit back through a series of illegal excuses? Tell me about the local crappy landlords. Spill the tea. Too long have we been suffering at the hands of these tyrants. I’m tired of the abuse. Tenants need more rights, and need a union of sorts.

I understand some people are crappy tenants too, but there are plenty of responsible, clean, and kind people who are taken advantage of and squeezed to rock bottom.

So, tell me about them. I personally would find great catharsis in it. I have had two of the worst landlord experiences of my life in Humboldt. Prior to this, I had the rare experience of having great folks to rent from.

Along the California coast, Abalone Stories follows Steve, an avid abalone diver witnessing the species’ decline; Shoshoni, a Yurok ceremonial dressmaker facing a shortage of shells vital to her art and culture; and a group of volunteer divers, P.U.R.P. (Purple Urchin Restoration Project), working to restore balance to the ocean by culling invasive purple sea urchins that destroy bull kelp forests—the primary food source for abalone.

Through their efforts, the film reveals how individuals from different walks of life are united by a shared connection to the sea, raising awareness of climate change, cultural loss, and the urgent need to protect marine ecosystems."

Please don't judge my dumb question, but is it safe for a young woman to go to WinCo after dark by herself?

Eek!

Hi everyone! About a year ago I bought a few wooden claw clips from 4th Street Mercantile in Eureka as gifts for my sisters. One recently broke, and my sister has been asking if I can replace it because it was her favorite.

I stopped by the store, and the employees told me the clips were made by a local Humboldt artist/vendor who is currently taking a break from making them.

Does anyone happen to know who this artist is or how I might get in touch with them? The designs I remember were a Banana slug, Mushrooms, and White flowers.

I'm specifically trying to find the white flower claw clip. Any leads would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

First they remain firm with Lake Ontario, and now they're offering the ability to view where Flock and other ALPR cameras are located in our county!

Nice companion to DeFlock

I'm here on a temporary work assignment and my wife would like to go sailing once before we leave in November. Cal Poly has courses but they are booked and/or over already. Are there any sailboat charters that would just sail around the bay for a few hours?

I'm down to the short strokes in completing my ballot, but I'm stuck on choosing which candidate for the "other" non-partisan offices like harbor district, water district, etc.. Is there any public info as to each candidate's bona fides beyond their own campaign literature?

I drove through Laytonville today and was absolutely DELIGHTED to see that the Laytonville toilet had a baby!!! If anyone can provide a photo of the proud parental I would be most thrilled to have a picture of them!!!

That's it

Curious about the stretch of 101 & surrounding areas from Laytonville to Mattole Road. If you’ve lived in the areas & have the local scoop, give me the good, bad & ugly. Particularly curious what the communities are like - it is a community oriented vibe where people look out for each other, or is it more like everyone does their own thing & doesn’t bother each other? Thank you!

My partner and I went to Jack in the Box today and they had restriped their parking lot. No signs indicating wet paint anywhere. I informed the manager that I had gotten paint inside my car and he said, "Don't care, Bye bye". This was all noticed after a crappy dining experience. Its not worth the effort to deal with this manager so I am reaching out to corporate. If you happened to go to the Jack in the Box tonight, check your vehicle and hit up the contact us link. here is the link for your convenience https://www.heyjackbox.com/

I remember seeing big displays of all kinds of local and other hot sauces. But I can't seem to find a good selection anywhere. Does anyone have a good tip for somewhere that carries a bunch of different hot sauces? Im specifically looking for Humboldt Hot Sauce. Any help is very much appreciated. :)

I saw this movie with a friend today, and it feels like a big bombshell on an evil trillionare.

I watched and thought it was entertaining and shocking that I had to hold on to someone feeling scared.

The downside is that it is 4 hours long, and not for the faint hearted.

Watch this before Elon Musk pulls the movie away.

Bill is paid, just wondering if anyone else is down or just me and I should call it in.

Is the Zombie Ballet put on by North Coast Dance for families of the dancers? Or is it something two random thirty year olds would enjoy?
