From today's Washington Post, the local voting news from Half Moon Bay:

HALF MOON BAY, Calif.

John Muller steered his tractor left onto Main Street, four Atlantic Giant pumpkins in tow, and thousands of people at the pumpkin parade screamed with delight.

But there were many others, spread throughout the festival that day, who feared the famous farmer had led the city down an uncertain path, demanding changes that couldn’t be undone and attempting to enrich himself in the process.

They are determined to stop “Farmer John,” even if it means putting him — and his pumpkin patch — out of business.

1. For the record, I'm voting for Measure GG

and neighbor John Szabo, quoted in the article, lives across the street and is running for HMB City Council (though the article does not mention his candidacy). He just earned my vote with his support for Muller.

2. I got to attend a wedding in Half Moon Bay

I found a small piece of abalone that I turned into a necklace.


I hope the town sides with the Muller's. They sound like good people just trying to hang on to their farm/home.

3. Say a documentary on weed a long time ago - There were a lot of

Small Tobacco farmers in the south that used to grow pot to supplement their incomes.
The sheriff often looked the other way as he was an elected official.
