The Postscript: A smaller life

2 days ago | ukiahdailyjournal.com | Carrie Classon

by Carrie ClassonMy space is smaller than usual these days. When my husband, Peter, and I bought a condo and moved to the city, Peter said we needed a little more room. “I want two bathrooms!” Peter said. I’d never had two bathrooms in my home as an adult, but I was certainly fine with the idea in principle.
From the desk of… Who was ‘shocked’ by Joe BIden’s infirmity?

5 days ago | ukiahdailyjournal.com | Byron York

Here is a basic question about “Original Sin,” the new book detailing the White House’s attempt to hide former President Joe Biden’s in-plain-sight mental and physical decline: Why is it having such an impact? Sure, the subject — an intermittently disabled president — is hugely important. But on the other hand, everybody knew, or should […] Subscribe to continue reading this article.

Assignment: Ukiah-Renouncing cherished beliefs

1 week ago | ukiahdailyjournal.com | Tommy Wayne Kramer

There’s a fresh breeze in the air cleansing America of rot and decay from years of progressive ideology’s stranglehold on a civilized, well-governed republic. We shall survive. Our ill-considered lurch into DEI-land has all but been reversed and I’ve heard no liberals whining about it. The extremely woke Disney folk have quit putting trigger warnings on old cartoons, and the media have not objected.
The Observer: Politics, Priorities and Pinches

1 week ago | ukiahdailyjournal.com | Jim Shields

It’s impossible not to recognize the seemingly institutional dysfunction in the governing process whether it be at the local, state or federal level. Our elected representatives and their staffs far too often flummox themselves and disrupt the orderliness of the governing process by creating problems seemingly out of thin air. Too many elected officials seemingly […]
Life after the Potter Valley Project: ‘The water will not be cheap’

1 week ago | ukiahdailyjournal.com | Justine Frederiksen

There are many unknowns regarding life after the Potter Valley Project, but one thing is certain: If diversions from the Eel River Watershed to the Russian River Watershed continue once the Pacific Gas and Electric Company successfully decommissions its hydroelectric plant in Mendocino County, any water still flowing through one of the most life-changing tunnels in the region will become a lot more expensive for humans to use.
The Postscript: Dressing up

1 week ago | ukiahdailyjournal.com | Carrie Classon

by Carrie ClassonMy husband, Peter, doesn’t believe me, but I didn’t always dress up. I would dress up for the holidays and for a special occasion, but the definition of “special” was fairly strict. It involved wearing nice shoes perhaps half a dozen times a year. But I changed professions and identities a couple of times and, somewhere in there, I discovered that I could wear a lot of clothes I never imagined I could wear. And then I met Peter. This is the part Peter disputes.
4Reel Fishing: Blessings

1 week ago | ukiahdailyjournal.com | Don Moir

Blessings my fellow anglers! Hope that you all had a restful Memorial Day Weekend. Thanks to all who paid the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedoms, many of which we take for granted. One being able to fish when and where we want and then write freely about our experiences on the water. Emily Lake: Lake Emily is a reservoir located just 3 miles from Willits. Fishermen will find a variety of fish including rainbow trout, crappie, largemouth bass, catfish, and bluegill there.
Tour the City of 10,000 Buddhas in Talmage this Saturday

1 week ago | ukiahdailyjournal.com | Justine Frederiksen

One of the best places to eat in the Ukiah Valley is a small vegan restaurant tucked into the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas in Talmage called Jyun Kang. Not just because the food is great (if you can fall in love with a plate of food, I definitely fell in love with their mushrooms smothered in basil) but because it is reached within a 10-minute drive from Ukiah that makes you feel as if you’ve traveled halfway across the world.
