But even in Shasta County, there's a good gadfly! "'They’re all just bullies, you know,' the comic, Nathan Pinkney, told the Times of his aggressors. 'They’re all so sensitive and volatile.'"

The June/July/August issue has both my picture on the cover, and the article I wrote about the Hotel Mac Restaurant closing. The photo is a distance shot Gary Shows took of the facade of the PRHA museum with my folding table on the sidewalk with me in my costume in the background. Then, inside the cover, on page 1 under the Table of Contents, there's my smiling mug in closeup.

Pretty much, if you care how the sausage is made, at 3pm, I start compiling covid numbers and cruise news stories (maybe make a few phone calls for confimation of details), and check out Nextdoor. I do that between phone calls. All the while, I listen to music on Spotify, about 4:30, I put together the playlist for that day, and then at 5pm I move to the home computer, download the files from iTunes, convert my Gdocs notes with numbers to word file, and hit "go live."

Philip: I do preview on my work computer and compile a list on Spotify (plays nice with my work computer, and I can develop a playlist while answering phones). Then I purchase on iTunes to recieve the files for uploading into the podcast interface.

My article about the Hotel Mac Restaurant just got published in the Summer issue of the PRHA’s TPIT newsletter. Editor Gary Shows sent me the preview PDF this afternoon and it goes out in the mail tomorrow. If you’re not yet a member of the Point Richmond History Association, you can buy a copy of TPIT at the Santa Fe Market. Gary put my picture on the cover too - in my 1905 dress doing the meet ‘n’ greet with a couple of visitors in bicycle togs (my friends Gary and Holly, who had just biked over the bridge from Mill Valley).

Pull out the vaccinated?

In December when we were all vunerable the infection rate in the population made sense. Now should not the rate be a reflection of the vunerable?
