My apologies, once again, to my regular readers for not posting blogs more frequently. If my memory is correct, my very first blog was posted almost nine years ago, October 2003, on Michael Estigoy's community website - Petaluma Online. (The Argus-Courier's Petaluma360 didn't exist then.) The only topic I addressed [...]
All the recent "pomp" about July 4th motivated me to go back to historical articles and online sites devoted to the events leading up to the congressional approval of our Declaration of Independence and its eventual signing and publication. However, the more I read the more "confused" I became about [...]
During his July 4th Bell-Ringing presentation on the steps of the Petaluma History Museum & Library, "William Howard Pepper" gave a brief review of the "Timetable to Independence," as well as how Helen Putnam's ringing of the Korbel Lumber Company bell in 1962 became a local tradition. During his remarks [...]
Last Saturday, I drove down to the Marin Civic Center in San Rafael to attend the annual BAEER Fair and see how many of the original planning committee were still active in organizing an event that had its origin 35 years ago. Currently, the BAEER Fair is a special project [...]
You won't believe this; but The Trio (aka Me, Myself, & I) are trying to fulfill their New Year's resolution to "clean out" the garage. (Yes, we all know that they have made that resolution for at least the past several years.) Tucked away, in the far corner, was a [...]
Perhaps The Trio can squeeze in one more blog before year's end. Hammerhead reports that he hasn't read any story lately that really "hits the nail on the head." Likewise, Eagle-Eyes hasn't been impressed with any of the headlines printed in our local newspapers, recently. Perhaps 2012 will be different. [...]
This blog was supposed to be posted a week ago; but guess what? The best laid plans of The Trio were interrupted with the revival of the "clean out the garage" project. (Read our previous blog dated 11-27-11.) BTW, well before our memory chip fails again, here ist he blog [...]
My blog team of The Trio (Me, Myself & I), plus Eagle-Eyes and Hammerhead wish to apologize to our readers for not posting a blog for almost a month. (Of course, some readers might consider that a blessing.) BUT, there is a good reason for this lapse .. the garage [...]
Leo Laporte, a local Petaluman, now known worldwide as "The Tech Guy" and founder of TWiT Netcast Network, passed his Technician Class amateur radio exam. He is the newest Ham radio operator in Petaluma and his call sign is "in the mail." For those readers who follow TWiT.tv also know [...]
Every year since 1999, on July 12, there is an historical event celebrated with the return of the radio station KPH. (KPH at one time was housed in Marshall, at the Marconi receiving site.) In fact, in 2008, a 28 minute video was produced that commemorated the 9th anniversary of [...]
