Notes on Different Stuff


This is a shot from an outfit at Turtle Bay in Redding which offers guided tours around the Arboretum and along the (newly paved) Sacramento River Trail. Their website is www.shastaglidenride.com if you'd like more info or call 242-1150. The gadgets they are riding are called Segways, electric two-wheel devices which are self-balancing and ideal for the trails along the Sacramento River and arboretum at the Sundial Bridge.

Sally and I plan to do their one hour run around the Garden which is north of the bridge, a (again, paved) walk which we have done before, for my birthday. The tour will be followed by a disgusting Shrimp Fest lunch at Red Lobster and then a five-cheese mac and cheese dinner when get home. It's a good thing you only get one birthday each year.

On a different topic, Jason Robinson from Way Out Recycling dropped by to announce that they are now accepting styrofoam along with their newly-announced glass collection. This is important so start saving up your egg cartons and take-out containers. The next pickup is Monday May 3. Remember, it's the first and third Monday of each month and all you need do is bag or box up your plastic, glass, and styrofoam and leave it by the street on Sunday night (they come by early on Monday).

Entertaining and informative film by Michael Moore about the economic mess we're in: Capitalism; A Love Story. This guy loves to corner flustered executives and nail them to the wall with embarassing questions on their roles in the financial meltdown on Wall Street and the insider deals that made them rich. 2 hours, from Netflix.

Watch for this month's Lake Shastina News. We inserted a detailed map of Lake Shastina with all the lot and unit numbers and on the reverse, a color map of Siskiyou County. If you don't get the LSN or want extra copies, call us.
