    Okay – what’s she up to??

  2. Heraldo Says:

    Sounds like they couldn’t agree on a contract.

  3. Maude In The Middle Says:

    She is the best thing to happen to that little town in a coon’s age. Hope they can agree on a contract and get her back!

  4. Time to get real Says:

    Palin-Fleming in 2012.

  5. box of rain Says:

    Wow. Wake Up Eureka!

    Let’s outsource our city management to Rio Dell and save some real money. Outsourcing – the Republican Remedy for what fiscally ails you.

  6. I want my Heraldo! Says:

    A 4 way in eureka bass leonard fleming verus neeley?
    or is she running robs new media endeavor? This is going to interesting.

  7. Oatis Says:

    Speaking of quitters, if Frank Jager can’t show up for the most important vote of the year, maybe he should quit.

    Can’t decide whether to raise taxes or fire a few cops eh? Tough decision.

  8. Da Man Says:

    It’s not out of pattern. No City Manager has ever stayed in Rio Dell more than a year or two at the most. Generally City Managers keep on the move. Rio Dell has actually had some very competent (and underpaid) City managers. Humboldt County CAO Loretta Nicklas is one – a very good one too. City Managers have the tough job of keeping Politicians ( council members) connected to reality. That puts a big target on them as politics and council members change. Hence the generous severance packages you see for them in most municipalities.

  9. Time to get real Says:

    What ever Rio Dell said to Flemming to get her to quit, should be said to Tyson by our city council. He is way way past his time limit.

  10. Anonymous Says:

    There is no expiration date on Mr. Tyson’s foot, no matter what you have heard.

  11. dog Says:

    Thanks Da Man for the rational comment. Your remark is a breath of fresh air among all these bashers and second guessers.

  12. OlderThanOldPhart Says:

    Tyson to Rio Dell.

  13. I know Says:

    Nancy was given the choice of resigning or being terminated.

    She was clueless about running the day to day operations of a City, which is quite different from holding the largely ceremonial position of mayor.

    I would (or can) email you some details on this H, but I really don’t want to reveal my identity.

    Nancy has bigger and better things up her sleeve

    Watch out Bonnie

    Who can turn the world on with her smile?

    Who can take a nothing day, and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile?

    Well it’s you girl, and you should know it

    With each glance and every little movement you show it

    Love is all around, no need to waste it

    You can have a town, why don’t you take it

    You’re gonna make it after all

    You’re gonna make it after all

    How will you make it on your own?

    This world is awfully big, girl this time you’re all alone

    But it’s time you started living

    It’s time you let someone else do some giving

    Love is all around, no need to waste it

    You can have a town, why don’t you take it

    You’re gonna make it after all

    You’re gonna make it after all…

    The End.

  18. dog Says:

    nicely done, turtle

  19. Tapperass Says:

    You crack me up Turtle

  20. unanonymous Says:

    not sure the whole story but there has been some very ugly dismissals of long-time city staff recently on what I am lead to believe is trumped up and blatantly false charges.

  21. ecumenik Says:

    Anonymous e-mail? Not in a million years. You need to give up your illusions anonymity.

  22. ecumenik Says:

    Or: ‘of’ anonymity.

  23. Kevin Hoover Says:

    “Who’s next?”

    You, hopefully.

  24. Anonymous Says:

    But Kevin, “next” neither rhymes nor alliterates with “hopefully”! Oh, I guess you save the sophisticated stuff for the Eye.

  25. humboldturtle Says:

    Klever Hooven, jealous of Heraldo? There must be a song in there someplace.

  26. Heraldo Says:

    Why can’t I be you?

  27. Carol Says:

    Oh, no. Here we go again with the Who is Heraldo? thing.

  28. HumRed Says:

    If you have not figured out who H is and what the goal of this site is, your real slow.

  29. 421 Says:

    god’s work, isn’t that what he/she’s doing?

    (Genesis 2:15) Then the LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it.

  30. HumRed Says:

    Actually many on this site do think that about the mission of prog’yism.

  31. Oldphart Says:

    Then how come I can’t grow tomatoes here on the coast?

  32. dog Says:

    Oh I get it now….

    “Hark, the Heraldo angels sing…

  33. dog Says:

    Humboldturtle can take it from there

  34. humboldturtle Says:

    Hark, Heraldo’s angels siiing
    To our values we will cling.
    Peace on earth and single-payer
    We’ll print funds to pay for things.

    that one?

  35. Skippy Says:

    Olphart: Try a greenhouse. Also, cherry tomatos ripen a lot faster.

  36. dog Says:

    Awesome, turtle

  37. Carol Says:

    There hasn’t been enough sunshine on the coast to ripen tomatos.

  38. Time to get real Says:

    How easily we get off on a tangent and forget about our poor Nancy. She may soon be lost in the wilderness and if the oceans rise, as predicted, she may soon drift away from her island on an ark of sorts, waiting for the dove to bring her a live sprig, indicating that the waters are finally receding, and new beginnings are at hand. Hopefully, she will have drifted far from here.

    Maybe she will find Kevin in that water world and barter for his ripe tomatoes.

  39. Walt Says:

    How about this, applied to Heraldo? Hint: you have to be older than 31 years old.

    I woke up in a Soho doorway
    A policeman knew my name
    He said “You can go sleep at home tonight
    If you can get up and walk away”

    I staggered back to the underground
    And the breeze blew back my hair
    I remember throwin’ punches around
    And preachin’ from my chair

    chorus:
    Well, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
    I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
    Tell me, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
    ‘Cause I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)

    Walt, you are hereby awarded the title Honorary Turtle. A moment of silence, please.
