Does anyone really care what happens in Covelo? No.
Well whoever did the shooting will be able to identify the victim from a distance away, due to their limp.
Did you mix up your medications again? Makes no sense.

Matt, I still check here multiple times a day for local news but scarcely a new post from you can be found. Anyone else feeling this?
Are you like the UDJ now? Do you only post here twice a week? You must be off doing something else? I mean no coverage of the light parade?
Now would be a great time for someone in Mendocino County to start a local news website.
