Hi been working on this online 1983 it says 92 but it really is 83.in 1983 I wrote a bulletin board program called electric magazine which was one of the first three programs that allowed one computer to talk to another NOW that's a big deal. You wouldn't be doing this now if it wasn't for the three of us although somebody else PROBABLY would've discovered it. I continue to write notes and things for electric magazine for number of years until I sold the business. At that point I took about a year and I decided it really wasn't any fun taking any time off even though I make like a magazine so I wrote another program called dynamics for Electronics Art corporation. It seemed I was never taking a real break from computers so I moved north and built a cabin. That's another thing scratched off of my bucket list.

I just couldn't stay out of it even though we were living in the wilderness so I started making newsletters that went up every three days at the Curlew and Malo stores. We were there for about four years and came back to California I should say went back. Since I got to California and I started getting involved in bulletin boards again and I started writing my newsletters around the notion of the prediction of earthquakes.

It never ends. After I came back to Washington I started doing it again in 1995 and it's been going on ever since. We operate on donations. My earthquake people held up everybody along the line matter what it was for years and that had to cease. Since I got
Guillain Barre , my medical bills and things that I need for Jane with her post polio syndrome have grown and grown and now we have to see what we can do to arrange for something different. I most certainly do not want to stop writing my newsletters. I just won't do it Its not me. We don't need $1 million we just need a few dollars to take care of some odds and ends. We end up getting a few dollars from some friends. We used to get a lot more but money is tight all over the place. You don't need me to tell you that.

We need a new bed, a special wheelchair for Jane, not covered by Medicare. We are half way on that. Good. We have clothes, food and drink. Those medical items are what we are after. If you can, I have an unused PayPal account. I know it works. I tried it a few weeks ago then again last week. The account name is pinpoint@bobshannon.org. And if you can't do that, cash by mail is safe. I thank you immensely. My family thanks you and your name is in the book of Life.

Take no chances. Leave no stone unturned. Fueled by Ebola fears, these common axioms are driving policy and action -- at times to hefty measures.

This week, a Central American country closed its borders to anyone who has been anywhere near the disease. And an airline scrambled to inform hundreds passengers that they had been on a plane that carried someone who has since come down with Ebola.
 
While drought may improve in some portions of the U.S. this winter, California's record-setting drought will likely persist or intensify in large parts of the state. Nearly 60 percent of California is suffering from exceptional drought – the worst category – with 2013 being the driest year on record. Also, 2012 and 2013 rank in the top 10 of California’s warmest years on record, and 2014 is shaping up to be California’s warmest year on record. Winter is the wet season in California, so mountainous snowfall will prove crucial for drought recovery. Drought is expected to improve in California’s southern and northwestern regions, but improvement is not expected until December or January. “Complete drought recovery in California this winter is highly unlikely. While we’re predicting at least a 2 in 3 chance that winter precipitation will be near or above normal throughout the state, with such widespread, extreme deficits, recovery will be slow,” said Mike Halpert, acting director of NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center. “This outlook gives the public valuable information, allowing them to make informed decisions and plans for the season.

Santa Rosa men sought in Mendocino County home invasion 

Two Santa Rosa men are being sought in connection with a home-invasion robbery last month in Mendocino County, authorities there said Friday.
Nathan Zingarelli, 19, and Mark Anthony Papillion, 21, are wanted in connection with a Sept. 7 robbery in the rural community of Redwood Valley in which a resident of the home was held at gunpoint and assaulted for about an hour while four intruders ransacked his house, sheriff’s officials said. 


California's new water year began on Oct. 1 and the issue on everyone's mind is whether this year will be a repeat of last year. The National Climate Prediction Center recently updated its three month probabilities for Northern California from below average rain to an even chance of having normal rain. The three month Seasonal Drought Outlook has California's northern coastal region, including Mendocino County, in the "drought remains but improves" category. Much of the rest of California is in the "drought persists or intensifies" category.  




Forestry summit: "Rival" agencies come together for salmon, water

erious efforts by the state to improve water quality and restore salmon led to a "historic" meeting at Fort Bragg Town Hall last month between two former "rival" state agencies.
The California Board of Forestry and Fire Protection and the North Coast Regional Water Board met together, the boards, lawyers and staff filling up the Fort Bragg Town Hall. Almost everybody made a long drive to get together and meet in Fort Bragg.
There was much optimism that more can be done to improve serious erosion problems in the grand forests and actually bring back the coho salmon.
"It's great to be together up here," said J. Keith Gilless of the Board of Forestry.
"The degree of overlap in our interests and the need for us to make sure that we are on the same page, the way both of our boards are trying to do, calls for really capitalizing on the overlap of our mission and the interpersonal connections," Gilless said.
