Good morning, and when I say morning I mean really really morning, like 3am morning in California. lol heat sickness

Good day QMS, the wind looks good. How big is your boat? lol My dad used to race with his friends in SF Bay a Hummingbird class 30 footer. I learned on Lake Tahoe in a little wooden El Toro, that was a blast but waves get friggin' big on the lake, bigger than an el toro. heh

National Guard Will Also Assist in This Week’s Raids on Illegal Mendocino Marijuana Grow Sites

Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office press release:

During the week of July 15th-19th, the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office will be collaborating with the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CalCannabis Licensing), California Department of Fish and Wildlife, California State Water Resource Board, Cal Fire and the California Army National Guard to serve search warrants on public/private lands to investigate identified illegal cannabis cultivation sites.

All the sites will be those of non-permitted cannabis cultivation sites that are believed to be involved in water diversion and other situations of environmental degradation that impacts several watersheds in the greater Eel River area of Northern Mendocino County.

The collaboration includes pre-identified sites that do not have cannabis permits, state water permits for cannabis or permits from Cal Fire for deforestation and legal tree removal.

Cannabis farms that are licensed through the California Department of Food and Agriculture’s CalCannabis Cultivation Licensing Division will not be the focus of this operation.

CalCannabis Licensing Inspectors will be participating in Operation Clean Sweep and have been an essential resource in the Operation’s pre-identification process of the sites to be investigated.

Transients pose a huge struggle to county law enforcement, as reported by Capt. Justin Wyatt of the Ukiah Police Department on Tuesday. Wyatt said the UPD receives about seven transient calls a day, taking up a good chunk of their hours. And often, those calls require assistance other than what a police officer can provide.

“Many of the acts associated with homelessness are not criminal, and they’re not subject to enforcement, and they require alternative strategies,” he said, adding the county does not have many alternatives. “We feel like our toolbox is pretty shallow right now.”

Both residents and non-residents are in need of a more permanent solution than shelters, and many face the hurdles of substance abuse, mental or physical disability and poverty.

shallow tool box wtf

NOPE

I am not calling landless people homeless anymore, because it is a language trap meant to separate those with land from those without land. The fact is every one needs land to live, it is that simple. You either share it fairly, or pay the price for hoarding. Every one and every thing needs good land and potable water to survive, despite all the written laws on the planet saying otherwise. Gaia rules. mean people suck

June’s job losses total 14,000, the biggest decline since 2010

Carlos López, chief economist at economic forecasting company Tendencias Económicas y Financieras, said “the collapse of employment” as shown in the IMSS data “is a symptom of recession.”
[...]
Guerrero, Chiapas, Oaxaca, Tabasco and Durango, all of which recorded negative employment growth between January and June, were the worst-performing state economies.

IMSS also reported that insured workers earn an average base salary of 376.6 pesos per day (US $20), a 6.6% annual increase, and that at the end of June, there were 991,286 affiliated employers, 2.5% more than a year ago.

not helping
at all

What about the European autoworker jobs being sucked toward MX now, instead of back to the US? Not accidently, on purpose. Wait a while...then BOHICA, and again.

Feds Withdraw Plan to Drop Rat Poison on Farallon Islands – for Now

Wednesday, during which commissioners and members of the public voiced concerns about the plan, which involves bombarding the environmentally sensitive national marine sanctuary with 1.5 tons of rat poison.

'We haven't been convinced that this is the best and only way to go.'

The commission was hearing public comment on the extermination plan, which has drawn criticism from local conservation groups, as it sought to determine whether the plan complies with California's coastal management rules.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said in a report presented to the commission in March that a massive house mice population is threatening the whole ecosystem on the rugged islands, which are also a National Wildlife Refuge.

The problem with every efficacy plan is money, and poison is always the cheapest bang for their death producing buck. Meanwhile, down south there is no sulfuric acid wall, no extinction barrier exists in the Gulf or the Pacific. Trade dealing the planet to death, and not cooperating to save it does makes me feel sad and contrary. No doubt about it. wah

Sonora acid spill meant instant death for anything it touched: researcher

A spill of 3,000 liters of sulfuric acid at the Port of Guaymas, Sonora, into the Gulf of California last week caused significant damage to the gulf ecosystem, according to Reina Castro Longoria, a marine biology researcher at the University of Sonora and a substitute senator.

“The impact is undeniable, it was instant death for everything it touched; flora, fauna, the water, and the whole immediate area,” she told reporters. “And it will also cause damage elsewhere as it disperses. I don’t say this to cause alarm, but this kind of thing has a domino effect, and it will break the ecological balance in that area, because sulfuric acid is a highly corrosive substance.”

Grupo México, Mexico’s largest mining company and owner of the facility responsible for the spill, said the accident was too small to cause serious environmental damage.

Castro added that she thinks the government should suspend Grupo México’s mining concessions because of the spill and several other incidents.

omg that sounds so... radical.

Trader Joe's Coffee Bean Blast is probably the best coffee ice cream you'll eat without having to make it yourself. Really distinctive coffee flavor that doesn't get drowned out by the cream and sugar. So the next time you're in the mood for some coffee ice cream, may I recommend treating yourself to a coffee ice cream sundae?

Can anyone say double yummy?

The only letdown at Trader Joe’s during my last Philadelphia stay was, they stopped carrying Hansen’s soda — something to do with the city’s soda tax?
