And the happy ending to yesterday's "didn't get the film grant" story: a *different* grant DID come through that afternoon! City of Santa Rosa will reimburse us for meals and lodging for our coming-in-from-out-of-town talent. That's a significant chunk of budget so... huzzah #SantaRosa ! #indiefilm
Land and Water Coffee in Santa Rosa is still the best coffee house between San Francisco and Portland, OR. Great drinks and pastries, reasonable prices, friendly people. It's right downtown, on 4th Street by Old Courthouse Square. Don't miss it! #coffee #California #SantaRosa #espresso #pastries #thirdplace
For us from Sasquatch Land, walking around Santa Rosa neighborhoods is like a festival of flowers, flowery perfumes, butterflies, stunning trees, and joyful creativity. Plus a lot of signage expressing opposition to kings, fascists, deporters, and dictators. #walking #urbanhiking #California #spring #outsiderart #creativity #SantaRosa

Thanks Popeye! I'm sorry you had boat troubles, but you suck!

This US island is home to flora found nowhere else. Now, a #wildfire threatens #extinction: ‘watching with trepidation’

Firefighters are racing to douse flames on #SantaRosa Island as experts express concern for survival of its unique habitat

"A 67-year-old sailor crashed his boat into the rocks on the island’s shore last week, according to the US Coast Guard. The man fired at least two flares in order to catch the attention of passing vessels, prompting speculation that the shots first set the blaze. Coast Guard officers rescued the man, who did not appear to suffer any injuries.

"Footage obtained by SFGate, however, showed a burning sailboat on the shore of Santa Rosa Island – presumably the same boat crashed by the marooned sailor. It was unclear whether the boat exploded on its own or the sailor set fire to it."

Santa Rosa Island fire has burned 17,000 acres, approximatedly one third of the island. Officials say that it burned through a stand of rare Torrey pines.
The fire likely was started by a wrecked boat that caught fire, not flares, as originally thought.
