My husband had a tooth pulled recently and oral surgeon called in an order at Alameda Kaiser pharmacy of hi dose Ibuprofen, antibiotics, and Vicodin. Husband is anti-narcotics unless absolutely necessary, and wasn't planning to take the Vicodin. (He even turned down morphine when was recently in the emergency room due to extreme pain from something else. Morphine was even already in the needle ready to go in the IV and he refused.) So now that he is healed up from the tooth he got ready to put the narcotics away and showed me that he didn't take any. Well, there's only 7 in there, and the bottle says 8. The container didn't have a sealed liner. No one else in the house, I didn't take them, and he's anti drug and swears he didn't take one. So I'm mystified. Curious if anyone else has had missing narcotics from the pharmacy at Alameda Kaiser.

At the end of all those television as you see about propositions 40 and 42 look to see who paid for them if it says building a better California that means it’s billionaires

Well, it’s that time of Halloween where the local teenagers start stealing stuff. Every year something goes missing, but it’s also pretty frustrating and makes me want to stop decorating.

Around 1:20 AM a younger male wearing a hood and mask walked by my house and then circled back a minute later and stole the 500W LED black light.

Looks like this year’s thief was planning it as they were masked and hooded, also walked by several times

If you see this: Just put it back on the steps

The gobfather?

REAP Climate Center and Bay Beehives are hosting a Honey Harvest Festival this weekend! If you love bees, honey or have an interest in beekeeping you can't miss this event.

What to Expect

🥗 Harvest Potluck
We’ll kick off the festival by gathering around the table for a community potluck celebrating the abundance of harvest season. Bring a favorite dish, snack, something from your garden, or another treat to share if you’re able. No need to bring something to participate—there will be food to share!

🍯 Honey Spinning & Extraction
See how harvested honeycomb is uncapped and spun to extract the last honey of the season, and learn about the process that takes honey from comb to jar. The bees themselves are settling in for the season, so we won’t be opening or working in the hives during the event.

🐝 Bee 101 with Bay Beehives
Melissa from Bay Beehives, REAP’s on-campus beekeeping partner, will share an introduction to honeybees, hive life, beekeeping, and the colonies that call REAP home.

🌼 Native Bee Activities
Learn about the many important pollinators beyond honeybees and get hands-on building homes for native bees.

🪱 Vermicomposting Workshop
Meet some of REAP’s hardest-working decomposers! Learn how to grow and tend a healthy worm population, care for a vermicomposting system, and harvest worm castings to return nutrients and organic matter to the soil.

🌱 Explore REAP
The campus will be open throughout the festival. Wander around our living laboratory, see what’s growing, visit the chickens and sheep, and learn more about the projects, people, and practices that make up REAP.

You can sign-up for workshops on-site. Sign-up will be available first come, first serve.

Hope to see you there!
