Think like PG&E
PG&E published this chart in a 2021 workshop presentation.
Does it even make sense?
Regardless of mystery models and acronyms, the company’s mow ‘em down approach to cutting trees continues.

If you always wear western wear you are doing it right.
If you have any at all, now’s the time to find that snap-button shirt and say a prayer that your jeans still fit!
Council members are set to establish Western Wear Days from June 17 to July 4.
The council will also sign off on the parade route Wednesday. Business as usual.
The city must complete a formal procedure to have an election for two city council seats on Nov. 8.
The resolution would approve handling of the election by the county and costs to the city of about $6,000, a report stated.
Vice Mayor Greta Kanne and councilman Larry Stranske presently hold the contested seats.
Aforementioned election business is on the consent calendar along with an extension of remote meetings for another 30 days.
Willits groundwater system, a water supply separate from the reservoirs and treatment plant south of town, goes out to bid soon.
The engineer’s estimate for Phase I of this project is $561,275. The City received a $551,156 Proposition 1 Grant to pay for a portion of the project; therefore, eligible project costs will be reimbursed up to that amount. Any additional costs will be paid from the Water Fund.—City of Willits
A city report says that another $500,000 will be budgeted for Phase II.
Think about it: A visit to Kah-la-de-mun
They called it Kah-la-de-mun, we named it Fort Bragg–
When the Skunk Train obtained the old Georgia Pacific sawmill property on the bluffs between Fort Bragg and the sea, not everyone was pleased.
From here in Willits it seemed like a great idea. In the local political and governmental climate it is as if we say no to everything then we will have nothing.
To see the millsite from a distance, visit a city-operated park on Elm Street in Fort Bragg.
You are welcome to peruse Glass Beach for lost treasure. When done treasure hunting, walk south between the bluffs and the millsite.
A paved trail and crowd-control fences keep the soil and vegetation in a beautiful state of conservation.
From this viewpoint you can begin to better understand what redevelopment of the property holds at stake for Fort Bragg.
If you have supported the Skunk, now you can see what critics want to save.
They want to save a chunk of Mendocino coastal land virtually free of buildings and the shoreline where cormorants nest and tidal creatures have space to live as they always have.
They want to live in acknowledgement that Kah-la-de-mun was a human community before pioneers settled and steam donkeys pushed deeper and deeper into the forests.
On the other hand, you may also get the impression that Fort Bragg and this county is becoming a retirement community.
You could say the Skunk and its plans should be embraced for what they are: economic development.
It is Fort Bragg’s problem?
Don’t forget that City of Fort Bragg challenges to the Skunk jeopardize its ability to secure funding to repair and maintain the rail line.
No rails, no Skunk.

Inaugural Address
I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so.
