I experienced one of those visits from fibro-fog. Fibro-fog is the casual label for fibromyalgia the real word for a miserable condition that used to be called rheumatism. It not only causes aches and pains it also messes around with the brain and produces what is labeled as Brain-bog in the processing system. Fibro-fog assaults one's brain as well as other parts of the body, such as the aches and pains of rheumatism. Columnists are a strange lot and seem to be prime spots for assault by the Fibro-fog monster. Speaking of columnists, we are often labeled to be either greatly revered or highly criticized for our constant flow of weekly words. No matter the response we elicit, people are still curious to see such creatures in person. An acquaintance keeps asking me when is the editor going to have a Columnists night when the general public could come and get acquainted with the current word smiths. Some would say "what a great idea, others might state that there would be a need for upgraded security to insure that no one brings rotten tomatoes to throw at the columnists. Columnists have a lot of questions to ask themselves before submitting copy, like how many words shall I crank out today, should I jump on the band stand supporting those who suffer fibro-fog, can I take the opportunity to rib my fellow columnists and will the editor let these choice words pass his desk? As for those of us who have racked up a few years of age there is always that question about whether we have a new photo made or at least have the old picture brushed endeavored so doggedly to comup?

Barber U-pick directory released After identifying eight local farms and orchards where where the public is invited to pick their own produce, Tehama Together has developed a directory of Tehama County u-pick locations. This directory includes details for picking peaches, which are now available at Wolf, Sale and Haynes orchards. Also included in the listing for seasonal picking are pistachios, mandarins, oranges, blueberries and asparagus Have you ever bought produce and had it spoil in a few days? When fruit is picked, it generally holds a fresh appearance for a few days and then spoils rapidly. This makes it difficult to truly know how old the fruit is that you are buying. When you pick your own , you know you are giving your family the freshest fruit you can get. In addition, you are supporting local farmers, saving money and participating in an enjoyable activity for your family and friends. The u-pick directory lists produce by season and provides directions and contact information Courtesy photo At the recent Red Bluff Community Center Anniversary celebration, Tehama Together introduced its u-pick directory which it made available along with peach tasting. Joining Tehama Together representatives Orle Jackson and Candy Carlson were Anna Lee and Richard Hansen, owners of the Corning blueberry u-pick location. for each farm. It is always recommended to call ahead to check on availability, price and hours. A Spanish version of the listing is also available.

J. J. Pope is Knocked From the Highway J. J. Pope, of Bend, was the innocent victim of an automobile accident this morning that wrecked his car and came within a few feet of hurling him in to the Sacramento river. Pope was enroute to Red Bluff when a tourist approached from the rear and started to go around. The tourist evidently had not seen another car approaching from the south, and in order to prevent crashing into it he turned suddenly, striking Pope's car and hurling him from the road. — Aug. 10, 1923 Alternatives to Violence is seeking highly motivated individuals to commit a minimum of 10 hours per month assisting in planning its annual fundraising event.
