    Ha, happened upon a link here at UniversalHD’s Firefly board. Did a triple-take when I saw the name of the blog. What a coinkidink. Just saying hey.

  6. Thank you for your blog on John’s clean up efforts. We really appreciate it. Can you send me an e-mail so that I may talk to you some more. I wasn’t able to find any contact info on you off of here. We’d like it if you could put down that people can make donations through paypal from our site, and a few other things.

    Thank you again!!!

  7. Hello Redhead. I hope you’ll visit my blog based in Willits, here to the south. Your photography and poetic view of life is lovely. How do we find more bloggers in the redwoods?

  8. Well done with today’s coverage. You managed to keep pretty good tabs on BOTH of the local crises. The whole thing is very impressive.

    Did you just happen to be in the right place at the right time, with the photos of the IRS raid? I’ve been trying to follow the “out of towners” on my scanner, but I think they’re using a secure frequency.

    Any suggestions on catching up with these guys?

    Cheers

  9. Dave, I’m a long time local and people call me or send me photos. I didn’t take those pics (I wish I would have they are beautiful.

    What works for me is to keep on the phone but, if I could, I would be following the feds when they leave this morning. (Hmm, maybe not, I’m not much for conflict and I can’t see them being too happy about that but, if I were brave that is what I would do.)

  10. Hi Kym, thanks for the inspiration! My name is Eric Sligh, I am 29 years old from Ukiah. I have a degree in French from HSU and recently completed the single subject credential program there as well. I did my student teaching at Eureka High School during the past year. I have also put together a print publication called Humboldt Grow. I asm still trying to figure out what the magazine is supposed to be. It kind of looks like a comic book to me sometimes. I have a website, http://www.humboldtgrow.com where you can view pdfs of the magazine. I am really excited about being finished with school so that I can become completely enveloped in the local social/political scene. I really hope that I can join the ranks of all of the quality independent news sources we have been blessed with. – Eric

  11. I like what I see and what I read.
    Far off from the normal bits I read and maybe that is why I like it so much. As Anita said before – A well rounded and properly grounded human being.

    Hi, Kim!

    I got a chance to check out your site – I love it. You’ve done an a-musing/amazing job.

    I sent an email to Chip. I’m hoping to hear from him.

    And, I hope I’ll hear from you again some day soon. It was really nice to reconnect with you. Let’s stay in touch!

  15. Thanks for the link! I get traffic almost every day from you. Finally got around to seeing who kymk was. Nice.

  16. I popped over to your site originally because you were a local blogger, Now I’m hooked on your art and the Mongolian info. I suspect a few of my readers are finding out how lovely your site is also.

  17. Kym, I don’t know what is wrong with my brain (or maybe it’s my salt-encrusted contacts affecting my vision), but I can’t find your email address and I have a very important question for you:

    What movies would you recommend to fans of Firefly/Serenity?

    Thank you! :)

    For a Guy who hates blogs I sure like yours. Lots of good stuff, good people.

    Love your area, love your photos, love your hobbies.

    Keep up the good fight, you may have inspired me to blog.
    Oh, No!
    Hope to make it to the Emerald Cup next year, do you know if you have to be local? I’m in Sac.

  22. I knew you were gone (see boy’s post or ask the turtle) I was just too sad to take you down. But I’ll do it now.

  23. You know Kym….there are days when I simply do not want to visit your site. Your gorgeous pictures. Your beautiful words, elegantly arranged. Your thoughtfulness. It’s really quite annoying.

    The grace exhibited by your site, which must clearly be only a modicum of the grace in which you live your life, enriches me in ways so few other things do.

    I’m not a person who believes in the soul or subscribes to the idea of the spirit, but if I did I believe your site would be like a temple in which I would visit.

    Thank you.
