The circuits are overloaded, the wires are crossed, and the messages are mixed. How did this happen? Am I not a competent, clever, in-control modem-day woman? I have not had to go out and shoot a bear for dinner or build a mud dugout in which to live. No traveling to the creek to put out the laundry on Laundry on creek rocks, no baking yeast bread from scratch. My lack of restful sleep is not due to having the night watch for marauding bands of natives or because I have to keep the fire burning to ward off wild animals. Perhaps insomnia is caused by the stress of trying to communicate in a "push one if you want.. .push two if you don't want, push three for our recorded message on bum out, push four if you really must talk to a human being", society? Hmm, my lack of sleep could be due to recurring flashbacks of previous day's events? For instance, how many times can a washer get off balance the drain come loose and flood the utility room? Who put the ballpoint pen in the washer? Decisions, decisions, decisions. Should I save money and hang the wash out to dry in the wonderful North wind, or should I throw monetary considerations to the wind and toss the whole batch into that meterspinning, hot monster dryer? Being a modem woman is quite a challenge. There are time when I long for the opportunity to do nothing but make a batch of homemade bread and experience the appreciation and admiration of family members. Instead, they come home to find me babbling in some unknown tant meeting I must attend. All other tongue...

The vintage trucks will share Habert Park with arts and crafts vendors where people can do some "Christmas shopping," and a civil war encampment where those with an interest in the American Civil War can ask questions and share thoughts with people with a Civil War passion According to Linda Middlebrough, TCM Treasurer, "The Jubilee is an annual celebration and fund-raising combination event where many com- Courtesy photo The Northern California chapter of the American Truck Historical Society will bring a selection of vintage vehicles similar to those shone here to the 32nd Annual Tehama County Museum Jubilee Sept. 7.The owners of the trucks will be on hand to "talk truck" in Habert Park just west of the museum. munity members join together to have a good time celebrating 33 years of museum service to the public of Tehama County while they financially support the museum, which receives no government funds other than being a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization," said Treasurer Linda Middlebrough.
