My Brother and I at Woodley Island Marina in front of The Maritime Memorial for Sailors Lost at Sea.

The Madaket was a ferry boat that retired when they built the bridge to Samoa... Now it has narrated cruises exploring Humboldt Bay... The captain tells us the history of what we see.

Other places to visit:

The North Jetty. Breakwaters that Protect the Channel into Humboldt Bay From the Pacific Ocean. Bring sensible shoes so we can walk to the end where the dolos are... be aware that sometimes the waves are so large that it would be dangerous to walk on the jetty... but you can watch from the top of the sand dunes.

- Event That Happened in Folsom, California...
- ORIGINALLY POSTED BY SHAY HARRIS. Side note after I was attacked I did pull my stun gun out of my bike bag and never threatened but warned that if myself or Shay took another hit or attack I would use it. We were accused after fact of just threatening with it. Truth be told I have never stunned anyone and was not even capable of doing it to our attackers. Just want to make sure all facts are covered.
  So saddened, frustrated and enraged with the events that transpired for us today.
  As we were bicycling in Folsom we encountered a group of Trump supporters on the corner of Greenback/Folsom-Auburn. As we near the intersection, walking with our bikes on the sidewalk, it’s apparent they were ready for confrontation as they blocked the sidewalk in front of us and any access to the cross walk buttons. As we approach we ask them to move and we are told we can ask nicer. We asked them to move again and it’s game on for them. They surround us and proceed to scream “triggered” at us, tell us we are voting for a pedophile, that we are pedophile supporters, pedophiles ourselves, that we are what’s wrong with America and that we need to go the f*** home. They start waving their flags in our faces and continuing to approach us as we are waiting for the light to change (while also keeping eyes on those that are continuing to verbally assault us). One man in particular steps extra close to us and Brandy tells him to not come close to us like that. He continues to invade our space, using his flag as a weapon, holding it in both his hands and shoving her in the chest with it and then connecting with her face. As things escalate and we try to get the flag away from him to prevent further attack, we are rushed by others that are screaming in our faces. While Brandy is dealing with 1/2 the group screaming and trying to come at her with the flag again, I have the other 1/2 screaming at me. A man 6 inches taller than me and much bigger in stature than I am comes from the side saying how he is going to knock us both out. He continues his threats and in the process begins kicking my bike, pushing me into Brandy and forcing us to get off our bikes fully as we are being pushed closer and closer to the intersection. He kicked mine again and now both of our bikes are down and we are surrounded. I turn to tell people to back off when a woman comes at me, hitting me in the stomach repeatedly with the end of her flag, screaming how we are what’s wrong with this country, how we need Jesus and not homosexuality, how we are wrong for not voting trump and then for not voting at all. We were called every name in the book by the group and the man that was kicking my bike is telling me that I was a fat f***ing cow and that we are gonna die! I’m in utter shock and processing what’s happening as Brandy somehow gets us across the intersection and is already on the phone with police. As we are waiting for the light to change at the new intersection an elderly couple on bikes wave and say “good job” to the trump supporters. I think Brandy and I looked at each other like we were in some alternate universe and clarify she is ok with them being violent towards females on a bike ride? She and her husband state we got what we deserved. Husband then looks at Brandy and says she better be careful in a threatening manner. As we are preparing for another attack from him, 2 more supporters come over while one from across the street is now on the same corner as us and recording everything saying how we are in the wrong. We end up biking as fast as we can by more supporters just wanting to get away as the one recording continues following us. We finally get away and are waiting for the police to arrive when the older couple that said we got what we deserve ride by laughing and telling us good luck. We are just staring at each other in total shock. The police arrive and ask us what happened. We relay everything and they said pretty much there is nothing they can do since we didn’t have it recorded. Brandy told them to go check the supporters phone recordings as many told us during the altercation how we were being recorded. They want to see if the individuals that physically made contact with us are still there, so I leave my bike with Brandy and go with the officer to ID the three individuals. He proceeds to tell me how if we press charges that the DA will most likely not follow through on any of this as it’s not a more severe situation. I tell him it’s sad right that this sort of thing can happen and it’s just not a big deal. He takes me back to Brandy and again says this most likely will not be pursued if we press charges. So we said what’s the point in pressing charges then. He said he is going to review the traffic camera footage still and we should hear something...at some point. We don’t know when. Frankly we knew that’s what was going to happen. We don’t care.
  What we do care about is how people think it’s ok to continue to go around and threaten bodily harm on fellow human beings, physically assault them, cause emotional distress, threaten abuse and death towards us. Over what? Us not being like them. They knew nothing about us but sure had us pegged before any words were ever exchanged. We are still in shock over it all.
  Our gender doesn’t matter. Neither does our sexuality, the way we look, or our political stance. No human should EVER cross lines like those people did to us today over ANYTHING, ESPECIALLY when it comes to politics and personal beliefs. We each have our right to our own opinion. To each their own. But when it goes from an opinion to whatever THIS shit show was today, it is totally unacceptable. WE are not what’s wrong with this world. It’s people like that that are what’s wrong with this world.
- many more comments... including...
- We went by them and they were none threatening . Most were sitting, a few bikes passed they didn’t even look. The local groups are usually calm. Biden and Trumps.
  I am sorry you went through this no one should! Pretty darn sad when someone is riding by and gets attacked for no reason. Didn’t say a word or jesters. Not right!
- and I Said:
- Did You Ever Notice That "The Boogaloo" and "Helter Skelter" is The Same? FYI: "Helter Skelter" was a Plan by Charles Manson To Trigger a Race War by Murdering People and Leaving Clues That Black People Did It... It's also a song by the Beatles... about a Children's Slide in a Park...

Everyone SAYS Trump is the Worst President Ever BUT... THAT'S NOT TRUE! George Bush The Son was the Worst President Ever. Trump IS THE STUPIDEST! Big Difference...

Bush Caused Thousands of Americans to Die in Iraq and Afghanistan... Trump Has Not Really Caused THAT MANY DEATHS... If You Ignore the Massive Increase in Suicide during Trump's Time in Office... and the Massive Increase of Opioid Overdoses...

The NYT Article says:
With each passing week it becomes ever clearer that Donald Trump’s trade war, far from being “good, and easy to win,” is damaging large parts of the U.S. economy. Farmers are facing financial disaster; manufacturing, which Trump’s policies were supposed to revive, is contracting; consumer confidence is plunging, largely because the public (rightly) fears that tariffs will raise prices.

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/05/opinion/trump-economy.html

Trump's Plan: MAKE RUSSIA GREAT AGAIN! The Big Winners of Trump's Trade War are Russian Soybean Farmers... China Refused to Buy from the USA, So the Russians Stepped Right Up and Took advantage of Trump's Mistake...

Putin is Delighted that He Got "Retardo-Boy" Elected... The Stock Market is Going Down Again Today... 8/23/2019... HEADLINE: China to Impose $75 Billion in NEW Tariffs and so... if you sell Cars to China... Trump Has Caused You Harm. Layoffs Coming at Car Companies?

HEADLINE: Donald Trump's war on American Cars is pushing the US closer to a recession. Entirely due to Trump's trade war with China.

Domino Theory - Not so absurd anymore... Consider this scenario: If Wall Street in the USA fails due to bonehead mortgage lending... and the USA stock market self-destructs...

that will cause the Hong Kong Bonsai market to collapse... the collapse of the Hong Kong Bonsai will cause the German Gotterdammerung Market to falter bringing down the London Picadilly Circus... With currency values plummeting so fast that the pound will only be usefull as toilet paper, the Brazilian ALCOOL futures market will boil over and leave a stinking mess on the floor. As everyone knows, Brazilian ALCOOL is directly related to college frat party drinking of ethanol right from the pump causing widespread panic among people over thirty. Since people over thirty are about half of the investors in feng-shui arrangement services, that entire business will effortlessly re-arrange itself into a zen masterpiece drawn in sand that subsequently gets washed away when the tide rushes in... The other half of the investors in feng-shui services (people under thirty) will start texting each other frantically causing an email flash mob to converge at the corner of 34th and Vine, Los Angeles... there they will demand little bottles of "Love Potion #10"... even though they have never even downloaded the song! RRRRIOT control special forces from Blackwater Incorporated will tazer the mob and they will all be taken away to secret government prison camps located in the Trinity Alps. Displaced Marijuana farmers, freaked out by the sudden population increase of texting nerds, will stop making their income tax payments, get a haircut and get a real job. This will disrupt the delicate balance of power between the Mexican Mafia, the Russian Mafia and the actual Mafia.

In order to keep the balance and prevent the end of Western Civilization, the US government nationalized the banking industry by purchasing banks for $700 billion dollars... causing Communism to have won... The means of production are now owned by the people! Or at least, the financing of production is now owned by the people... or the government... or someone... not you... not me either...

So, you can see that "The Domino Theory" was accurate!
If your pizza takes more than thirty minutes to deliver, you get $3.00 off the price.

If you have never heard of the Domino Theory...
During the late 1960's a bizarre concept arose among wacky think-tank dwellers, Supposededly, if we lost the Vietnam war, then countries near Vietnam would fall to communism... First Vietnam, then Cambodia, the Laos, then Thailand and they would keep on falling like dominos until Mexico fell and we had communists at our border...

Sure, with 20-20 hindsight we can see that this theory was totally false, but at the time, it was widely believed by the gullible masses...

Bicycle Power Generator converts human fat into electricity.

By riding the exercise bike, a person spins the generator creating power. Designed and Built by the Humboldt State University Campus Center for Appropriate Technology, this generator is used to power the public address system at SLAMFEST and many other gatherings on campus.

The electricity is stored in a standard auto battery for use later. more info at:

Headline: Trump Has Sabotaged America’s Coronavirus Response. The United States has never been less prepared for a pandemic. In 2018, the Trump administration fired the government’s entire pandemic response chain of command...

including the White House management infrastructure. In numerous phone calls and emails with key agencies across the U.S. government, the only consistent response I encountered was distressed confusion.

https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/01/31/coronavirus-china-trump-united-states-public-health-emergency-response/

Headline: Under Trump, America is less prepared for a coronavirus outbreak.

The Trump administration is chronically inept at, and seemingly uninterested in, any type of long-term planning, given the numerous positions in government that remain vacant as well as the constant rotation of key cabinet positions and the ad hoc decisions made on the basis of a conversation or Fox News clip. https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/24/opinions/trump-us-coronavirus-prepared-clinton-sridhar/index.html

Headline: Worried about Coronavirus? Tell Trump to reverse cuts to critical US agencies. As we scramble to contain Coronavirus and similar diseases in the future, it will become clear that cuts made over the last three years by the Trump administration and proposed reductions in health care funding will seriously hamper basic efforts to battle public health emergencies.

Trump’s flailing incompetence makes coronavirus even scarier. America’s pandemic response capabilities have been systematically dismantled. https://www.vox.com/2020/2/25/21150574/trump-coronavirus-cdc-cuts
