HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO:

where do the organic items need to be brought to?

For us, we have woodstoves that we burn these type of things in, needles soaked in fat are super good firestarters

holeinbow on Wednesday 06 May 2026 - 21:10:45

Ive got two issues tonight, one is why the heck did they stop taking pine needles and sticks across from city hall?! Twice the work to drive it all the way over by the hospital, dont my taxes pay for that?

I think we should have a giant swapmeet and bonfire twice a year. Swapmeet quarterly would be great...

Airport, I hear you and totally agree!

Airport Razz on Wednesday 06 May 2026 - 12:57:36

All we should ever see in this town is fender benders. These 2 today were pretty much totals. I used to only have to 'defensive drive and dodge' once, twice a week. Now its continual every time out the door.

MrsBearendipity on Wednesday 06 May 2026 - 12:36:45

What is going on with the traffic accidents all of a sudden? Maybe it’s just me, but it seems to have gotten worse. Just horrible.

Thanks Boots. I understand one might have been a trail angel on her way to pick up folks. Absolutely tragic.

BootsNBridles on Tuesday 05 May 2026 - 10:48:56

Mrs Bear- true words. Both people were very active and involved in many things for the good of the community. Very very profound loss for Big Bear.
