Caught by my webcam on Tuesday night/ Wednesday early morning……

Yana lane. Watch those small pets and children.

I was thinking of putting them along Highway 4 (not where the volunteers pick up trash) so Cal Trans would have to pick them up.
They could fine the distributor.

I think it would be interesting for each of us to collect all the books on our street and stack them up at the nearest intersection (out of traffic).

Then take a photo of each intersection stack and send it to the company.

Then leave the stacks for so many weeks, so those who want them can pick one up.

Then report the company for littering and ask them to come clean up the remaining stacks…;-)

Any recommendations for a single car garage rollup door? I want it installed too, so I would prefer buying it from someone who installs them too.

Thanks,
allen

Sometimes I think it might be better to just feed the coyotes and that way they won’t be hungry enough to eat a small animal! 🙂

I’m trying to make a point so they don’t do it again next year or any other year. For me to spend $9 is no big deal. Every time I drive my pickup to Arnold and back I probably spend that much in gasoline. I already had a perfect size box so packing them was easy too. I was also loading my ATV in my trailer so I just took a ride on the ATV and grabbed most of the books without even getting off it. Whatever works I guess. 🙂

Hey Neighbors, in case you hadn’t heard, Tommy’s back yard is open and their first concert is tonight!
Plan B, a local favorite will be playing Rock, Blues, and Oldies.
Starts around 6:30.

I’ve done that hike a LOT beginning when I was 13 (I’m now 72). Deer hunting and fishing mostly. Years ago the fishing was wonderful, and the brook trout were delicious. I don’t think there are any more fish in the lake because it has silted in and freezes all the way to the bottom. There may be fish in the stream below the dam.

While I am in total agreement that the Yellow pages distribution to the BTV community was nothing short of a moronic move, I took a bit of a different approach. I am sure sending the books back to Kuan makes a point and I certainly commend the level of effort. For my part, I simply collected a number of the books while out walking the dog (note…there were 3 books at a driveway to a vacant lot) and dumped them in with my recycled paper…done deal. This situation is certainly an annoyance but I can not justify my time and expense to mail them back. I will save my efforts for issues that have significant implications…just my opinion and in no way is meant to be derogatory to other approaches.

I had to take it to the post office, have Paula weigh it and send it media mail. If it was a letter or package that would fit in the out box, than maybe so. I have received letters before (not very often) with “postage due” but never anything but a letter or small package that weighs more than the postage put on it. The box I sent the phone books in was HUGE. Should fit nicely on Dave Kaun’s desk. 🙂

To late now, but I think if you had not put all the postage on the package, they would have to pay the additional postage.

[allen]

I sent the 16 pounds of Valley Yellow Pages yesterday (Thursday) back to Fresno. Actually they weighed 15 pounds according to the post office scale. Sent them “parcel post” (media mail) for $9.25. Maybe I should send them a bill!

Good news!!!!! I hooked up my old network extender, had to wait about 20-30 minutes for all the lights to turn blue, then successfully used my cell phone! I was getting impatient and almost gave up, but it finally worked. The power and WAN light turn blue right away, of course. The GPS light started solid red, then blinking red, then finally blue after about 5-10 minutes. The SYS light started solid red, then blinking red/blue. It stayed in this state for about 20 minutes before finally turning solid blue!
