Humboldt County. Isn’t there a lot of agriculture up there?
Get under a table.
Look at a map.
Agriculture, yeah, that’s the ticket. That’s what they tell the DEA.
No crops up there. Just weeds.
Oh, sh*t, man...what knocked the bong over?
“”Isn’t there a lot of agriculture up there?””
From what I understand marijuana is their most popular crop...
Followed by a bunch of twos and a three, there’s a whole lot a shakin goin on. Who put Jerry Lee on the Hi Fi?
LOL! Yes, that’s pretty accurate!
Ferndale and other towns in the area were severely damaged in the1992 Cape Mendocino Earthquakes:

I lived in Mendocino for a short time, would be there yet but family had other ideas. I drove through Ferndale, then turned around and drove through it again. It was this perfect little village, everything seemed lovely, even and especially the dairy cows grazing in knee-high flowers. Perfect. Hope nothing too serious happens in the area.
a 5.7..quake.is fairly significant jolt wise.
thats a few hundred miles from the bay area where I am..but a hop skip..and a jump geologically speaking
On the scene report. I was trying to sleep in the garden and for a second I thought my BP meds needed adjustment but Lady Bender felt it in the house. My first 7.** was the Tehachapi quake of 1952 and at least 8 more since moving to the north coast in 1954. No reports of any damage but there was a large commercial fire in nearby Fortuna this morning
Lots of pot being fracked there.
Thanks!
