There is growing concern about the spread of aquatic invasive and nuisance plant species which cover over 90 percent of the Tahoe Keys lagoons. Despite the considerable management and financial investment of the Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association (TKPOA) to control this problem, weeds continue to spread and management costs continue to mount.

Train Trail from San Francisco to Humboldt Bay



More than a century ago, a railroad was constructed to shuttle passengers and redwood logs between San Francisco and Humboldt Bay.

Now the since-abandoned train track could be transformed into a 307-mile pathway through remote, wild country along California’s North Coast, a move advocates hope will create a world-class outdoors destination and jump-start the economy.

The Great Redwood Trail moved closer to realization this week with the release of a document mapping out the planning, construction and management of the trail in Mendocino, Trinity and Humboldt counties, or the northern portion of the envisioned path. Segments in Sonoma and Marin counties will be planned separately.
“I would put it in the category of the Pacific Crest Trail, the Appalachian Trail — these large, landscape-scale trails that provide an experience for people to see areas that they just would never have access to otherwise,” said Caryl Hart, chair of the California Coastal Commission and board member of the Great Redwood Trail Agency, which is tasked with developing the path.

If realized, the project would be the longest so-called rail trail in the country, generally following the defunct track through towering redwoods and along rushing rivers teeming with salmon. The relatively flat trail would accommodate hikers, bikers and horseback riders while potentially providing an economic infusion to small towns struggling amid the decline of logging and rise of legal cannabis.

Officials say it’s probably 20 years away from completion but will move forward section by section.

My Music Video: eARThsong - about Growing Our Own Food in Chico, Living With Horses...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tERVWVZUNyw

This Song was written at a time that we were living in Chico, California and were surrounded by a corral with 4 horses. We were also growing many plants including Morning Glory Flowers that eventually got so tall that they climbed up to the roof of the little house. The tomato plants produced an abundance of food... quite a miracle... especially to eat them hot off the vine... the earth in Chico is dark black and fertile... 

(lyrics) Bm A D G Planting, planting, planting seeds D A D May our garden grow... Bm A D G May God bless the earth and rain D A D And sprout the seeds I sow D A D And sprout the seeds I sow CHORUS: G Bm We've been tilling soil since the dawn of time A E The fertile loam of home is nature most divine G Bm The lady with the hand upon the plow A E is identical, then and now Weeding, weeding, weeding weeds feed 'em to the horses may God bless the new-born foal and teach it natures forces and teach it natures forces Riding, riding, riding steeds just like long ago May God bless the hay they eat and set their eyes aglow and set their eyes aglow

Question from 2021:

I Wonder Why Fresh Water from The Sacramento River Flows into the Ocean? Why Not Use It To Water Crops? After All, The Colorado River is Pumped Dry... and That's a BIG River... It Dug the Grand Canyon... 

We are Having a Drought Here in California... This Water COULD be used to Grow Crops, Water Livestock, Take Showers or Make Ice Cubes for a Scotch on the Rocks... But NO... It Flows Out into The Ocean at San Francisco...

Many People say we Need to Provide a Lot of Cool Water for the Salmon to Swim in... I Wonder... What if We Cared More about Human Life than Fish? What if the Salmon All Died in the Sacramento River... They Still Have The Klamath and Columbia Rivers to Swim in... What if We Just Pumped the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers Dry and Spread all that water over Farmland in the Central Valley... A LOT Would Evaporate and Fall as Rain When It Reached the Sierra Nevada... In Effect RECYCLING The Water... and Allowing the Hydroelectric Power Plants to Generate Electricity... In My Area, SMUD Generates all Electricity Using Power Plants on the American River... But They Create NO Electricity Without Rain...

Sadly... The Klamath is a River is Having a Water Crisis too... It is Home to The YUROK and HOOPA Tribes. When I worked at the Welfare office in Eureka I Had a LOT Of Contact With People from those Tribes... They REALLY Understand The Salmon as They Have been Living in Harmony for a Thousand Years... The Fish have a FIVE Year Cycle and If One Year (like 2021) has a Massive Kill then The Total Population is Reduced by 20%... The Four Years of Salmon living in the Ocean are not Affected... 

We Had a Massive Kill During the Presidency of George Bush the Son... Same Problem... The Potato Farmers in Oregon wanted the Water for crops but the Fishermen wanted to Keep the Fish Alive... My Brother in Law is a Tourist Fly Fisherman who came out here from Delaware on Vacation specifically to Fish the Klamath and Trinity River... 

What Finally Happened was there was a Huge Loss of Money for the Motel Owners, Tour Guides and Restaurants who depend on the Salmon to Attract Tourists... about ten times the Increase in profit of the Potato Farmers...

Klamath River Un-Dammed - 2002 Fish Kill Disaster... Trinity River Memories... NorCal & Oregon

The Klamath River Basin in California and Oregon has been obstructed by different dams for over 100 years. The first dam was constructed in 1908, and the last was erected in 1962. In 2002, a catastrophic fish kill resulted in over 70 thousand salmon deaths, and this kicked off the fight to restore the Klamath River Watershed to its original glory. 4 of 6 dams are slated to be removed over the next few years.

I have a Personal Feeling about the Klamath River... My Brother in Law Came all the way from Maryland to Fly Fish that River... It's a Classic Trip involving Hiring a Local Guide, Renting a Room and Eating at Restaurants... 

However, in 2002, George (American Idiot) Bush the Son DIVERTED the Water to Potato Farmers in Oregon. More Water, More Potatoes, More Profit... What He Didn't Realize was that the Lack of water would KILL the Salmon... How would he know? He's just a BOUGHT Politician and the Potato Farmers Bribed Him... 

anyway... The Oregon Tourist Business Lost a Fortune because... without FISH... NO Fishermen come to Visit... No Rooms Rented, No Guides Hired... and No Restaurants Selling Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner... The Bottom Line was that the Tourist Money LOST was MUCH GREATER than the Increased Profit from selling Potatoes... 

I learned that the Salmon have a Five Year Cycle... They get Born, Swim to the Ocean... spend Five years out there and Then Swim Back to the Same Place that they were born... So the Fish Kill of 2002 did NOT effect the 2003, 2004, 2005, or 2006 Salmon Runs... but 2007 was a bad year to be a fish... and 2012... 2017... 

I have swum in the Trinity River... it flows into the Klamath... On a drive along Highway 299 coming home I got stuck in a construction zone traffic Jam... and it was over a Hundred Degrees... NO Air Conditioning in the Car... so as soon as we were free to proceed... I drove to the First Place to Jump in the River... and BLISS!

Who OFTEN Spoke of Un-Damming the Klamath. He is a co-author of Deep Green Resistance, and the author of Endgame, The Culture of Make Believe, A Language Older than Words, Bright Green Lies, and many other books.

He was named one of Utne Reader’s “50 Visionaries Who Are Changing Your World” and won the Eric Hoffer Award in 2008.

Dump Trump 2024 - Exterminate the Entire Republican Party Nationwide... They are EVIL... and CRAZY... For Example: Governor Greg Abbott... No Water Breaks for Workers in the Summer? WTF?

I've always wondered WHY God Dropped a Tree Branch on Greg Abbott and Made Him a Cripple... Was it Punishment for a Lifetime of Evil Deeds?

Texas Governor Greg Abbott in Wheelchair - Insane EVIL Man



"Greg Abbott is a lousy governor and he compensates by being the worst villain imaginable. Here is a man who would deny our own workers a drink of water during the hottest days in history. He is truly less than human and thoroughly reprehensible." Said SG on FaceBorg

floating border wall being installed in Texas - keep the immigrants out


Mexico Files Border Boundaries Complaint over Texas' Floating Barrier Plan on Rio Grande River...
US-Mexico border: Will a 'floating wall' barrier in the Rio Grande deter migrants?
Researchers and advocates who study the border have questioned whether it will have any meaningful impact on the number of migrants who attempt to cross or dissuade them from trying.
"This is pure theatre," said Adam Isacson, a migration and border expert from the Washington Office on Latin America. "It's less than a speed bump, ultimately, but it looks great for cameras."

Headline: With back-to-back legal setbacks, Team Trump extends losing streak... 

As Team Trump loses again in court, it’s tempting to think the streak reflects bad luck. But luck is irrelevant: They're losing because they're wrong.

Tax the Rich MEME


Ahh...the good old days of Occupy Wall Street. When the 99% protested the 1% in New York. And the whole thing got derailed by some unknown person introducing "The Progressive Stack" to the mix.
Who could have imagined that shifting the focus from what we all have in common over to everything that makes us different would have such catastrophic consequences?

What is That? The progressive stack is a technique used to give marginalized groups a greater chance to speak. It is sometimes an introduction to, or stepping stone to, consensus decision-making in which simple majorities have less power.

and then on FaceBorg SG Said: 
I Keep seeing that Jardiance ad on TV with its sing song woman try to pitch this medicine for diabetics type two - I don't see the point of promoting a product using people this obese as most typically aren't .
Anyone else feel the same and I'm guessing her weight at 375 lbs . Five times what her weight should be .... what do you think ? I've asked Dr's and nurses what they think and most all agree that this is so wrongly advertised. Try guessing her weight.

and I Replied:
I take Jardiance and It COSTS 4 TIMES AS MUCH as all the other Drugs I Take. WHY??? Because I'm Paying for all those TV ADS!

mentally disturbed person with an army meme


45 is the epitome of narcissistic personality disorder and malignant sociopath. He literally has no reality other than his own. Add to that being raised by a klansman and following in his dad's footsteps, and his enamorment with dictators and his fascism it is truly frightening and the vision I was given while he gave his nomination acceptance speech hearing Nazi sirens and seeing a Nazi truck rounding up people has sadly come to pass. At what point does the Congress do its job of being the balance of power. They're not doing so will truly leave America to become a totally fascist state. Right now it has been bordering on a true dictatorship.

Happy Buddha Meme


HAPPY New Year! May it be filled with peace and kindness, good thoughts, kind people (like u!), enough silence to hear the voice of God, both within and without, and may you have all that your true heart longs for. I am wishing for a year filled with people waking up to the power of their wisdom & simple actions to create greater good. And each of us having the courage (& any suppot needed) to take those actions big and small. None will be unimportant if they come from the heart and the desire to do good. Also I hope you will join me in praying for a Christmas miracle of finding a miraculous unreasonably reasonable rent for Emily and me with a yard/garden or nearby park & for me to get the perfect support &/orlawyer to help me fight for justice in a situation surreal with injustice. I am grateful for amazing friends who helped me make it thru. (none moreso than Rona & Johanna😍😇 Johanna thanks for finding this perfect picture, it says what I most wanted to say)
