The people in the city of Oakland will re-vote the government of Oakland. It's changing. I love that folks are really giving love to West O. It's like living in Detroit with a view of Manhattan. Once an amazing place for Jazz and culture turned into a scummy ghetto that is extremely dangerous at depressing. Similar circumstances were happening to African Americans in SF Fillmore District in the 60's-70's. The pendulum is swinging back.
The City of Oakland just went off on Novella Carpenter, totally whacko. They're going to fine her 5K for doing what she does! Watch out, City Slickers -- it doesn't matter how much good you do: if they can fine you, they will. See Novella's latest blog post for the info.
I'm starting to think Oakland is Brattleboro of the West, and vice-versa. People are, I think, essentially good if given a chance, and you present a lot of them here. Thanks.
NICE! Information that everyone should have.Last year I ripped out my backyard crabgrass.Now after my regular 3 hrs of working out I come back and find pleasure in tilling my soil, ammending, planting, building retaining walls for my raised beds. Last year hardly anything bore fruit. But it was the process and knowing that I had control over where my food might come from. This year I have another half of the yard planted with lettuce, tomatoes,peppers, sqaush, herbs, snap peas, beans&more.
Beer yeast is a different species than bread yeast. You will get FAR better results using ale yeast for your beer.
