Not trying to be that person but if you're in the states and actually want to learn more about the Grants Pass case which could either legitimize the criminalization of unsheltered homelessness or set the precedent that providing shelter is a responsibility of local governments please do read from reputable sources like NAEH.

I won't speak directly for the unhoused community but for those of us who work in housing services, we've been anticipating this ruling for months. It has the potential to be a very big deal. Discussing leftist solutions to shelter gaps is a great way to start your interest and advocacy for your unhoused neighbors, but if you wish to create actual local change I promise you will always need to be informed of what's actually going on in your local community, including what's already being done.

If you want to be an advocate, watch this case. Then take it a step further:

-make sure you're advocating for affordable housing on the local level (to your local decision makers, not just online),

-volunteer at your local shelter if you have one,

-show up to your local homeless coalition (if you don't have one, start one),

-if you don't have much time to spare, volunteer for your point in time count next January, it's only one day and helps a lot!

Our housing crisis in the U.S. is dire, so every little bit helps.

Rogue River (Grants Pass OR)

16 March 2023

In late January, on our previous drive to California, we stopped in Grants Pass and I rode my bike early the next morning (24 January: Grants Pass). It was bitterly cold and led to some modifications of my cold weather kit (further modified on The Chilly Hilly, my only ride in Washington during the time between our two CA trips). This morning we were back in Grants Pass, staying on the other side of town, and it was cold again. But I was better equipped (the problem had been cold fingers and toes).

This was a fairly short out and back ride parallel to the Rogue River east (upstream) of Grants Pass. The western segment, as far as the town of Rogue River, was on Foothill Boulevard and Fielder Lane. The eastern segment was on the bike path (Rogue River Greenway) that goes through the State Park. The fog was thick in places, but there were also occasional glimpses of the river.

Generating Predictions for Grants Pass v. Johnson

The philosopher Archimedes once wrote “Give me a lever that is long enough and a fulcrum to place it on and I will move the world.” Is there a metaphor for the Court within this quote and if so do certain justices control a lever? In fact, we may find that the control or the center of the Court shifts this term from its point in the three previous terms since Justice Barrett joined the Court.…

Days 2 to 4 - The Chico Halloween 2003 and drive up to Medford, Oregon with Grants Pass and Ashland

Hi everyone

I wanted to let you know about fifteen years ago today, when it was the last time I visited Chico, CA and Oregon. It was the weekend of 31st October to 2nd November 2003. During that time I visited

- Chico

- Orland

- Redding

- drive on I-5 past Mt. Shasta

- Hilt CA and Oregon state line

- descent into Ashland and Medford

- drive to Grants Pass before returning and having supper

- fuelling up at Medford Safeway

- long drive back to Foster City CA via Willows, lunch at Black Bear diner

- arrive home in Foster City by 9:30 PM

On 31st October 2003 I arrived at Chico about 7 PM at the Super 8 motel, after having left work about 3 PM by prior permission - it was a 4 hour journey from Redwood City via San Mateo-Hayward bridge and I-880 to I-80 then I-505 and on to I-5 to Orland, and then on local roads thereafter. The Super 8 is near Cohasset and CA-99, and at the time it was next door to a Denny's that I remember previously eating at on Sunday 7th January 2001. I dropped off the luggage and found a place to park in the downtown 4th Street parking structure before traffic got worse. I went to a couple of places I remember from my university days, particularly Duffy's, watch some live concert, but I don't know if I went into the Madison Bear Garden, there is always a line outside on Halloween night. Since my university days at CSU Chico, nothing much seemed to have changed. After eating a "Sleepy Dan Special" meal at Jack's Diner, I went back to the hotel.

I think I woke up the next morning about 7:30 AM. Super 8 was serving breakfast. Some guests had slept in their costumes when they came down to the breakfast room. I had to check out by 8:30 AM so I could get a good start to driving to Medford. Why Medford? I had been wanting to go to Medford for probably since 1998, just to have a leisurely tour around it, and also Ashland. Leaving Chico, I drove north and west on CA-32 to Orland, so I could get a good photo of the big catfish. I have no idea how long the catfish has been standing or why it was even placed there. After Orland I went north on I-5. I-5 is not particularly hilly between Arbuckle and Red Bluff, and then from Anderson to just north of Redding it is fairly flat. Somewhere around Mountain Gate up to Weed, I-5 has many curves and speed limits are down to 55 mph or 90 km/h. The scenery is interesting, especially if you get close enough to see Mt. Shasta.

Hilt is the last town in California on I-5, before the Oregon state line. From Yreka to Hilt, I-5 has a gradual incline, and after crossing into Oregon, there is a gradual decline towards Ashland. Downtown Ashland has a Shakespeare program, and I would find out later that evening that I arrived on the last day of the season. In Medford, one town away, I had booked a night at the Red Carpet Inn, basically a typical motel with outside access, and they served complimentary breakfast. I drove around downtown, parked my car around Main Street, and walked around, trying to find the Russian restaurant that I remember going to in a previous visit in June 1996, but never found it. Back then, smartphones were nonexistent and to google anything you would need a computer with 56k or broadband. I did find a Hawaiian restaurant, called the Hawaiian Hut, which would give me 10 miles credit on United Airlines for every dollar I spent. I had some nice spare ribs and white rice and it also had macaroni salad. I could not eat it all so they gave me a takeout box. I drove also to Grants Pass, because I wanted to see how far north away from home (at the time, Foster City, CA) I could drive, but in August 2013 I beat that, but that's a story for another time.

After Grants Pass, I drove past Medford on to Ashland. It was the last day of the season for Shakespeare. I did not know of any performances I wanted to see, so I just strolled around downtown for an hour or so. Then I drove back to Medford to sleep.

The next morning, Sunday 2nd November, I slept in a bit more than I thought but not too long before they stopped serving breakfast, I was lucky to have some toast and coffee. I also had the leftover Hawaiian food from the previous night that I would eat later. I think I started back home at 10 AM. Before that, I had to fill up the tank, it was getting close to the 1/4 mark. Oregon diesel prices in 2003 were close to those in California, maybe a few cents cheaper. But you could not fill the tank yourself due to the Oregon state law forbidding self-service. I filled up, bought some soda for later, and then headed south on I-5, up that long incline past Ashland to Hilt at 55 mph, and then after Hilt downhill. Somewhere after Hilt there is supposed to be an agricultural checkpoint. That does not include leftover prepared food, just fresh fruits and such. I think it was about 11:30 AM when I arrived at the first rest stop in California from Oregon, so I ate up the leftovers. From Yreka to Weed the drive was fairly flat, then there came the curvy road down to Redding, and then flat from Red Bluff to Willows. At Willows I was getting hungry and I think it would have been around 4 PM when I arrived. I knew at the time, the Black Bear was also offering the 10 miles per dollar deal with United Airlines. I think I had just a sandwich and Coke. I stayed enough to rest up before the 200 mile journey back to Foster City. The car's fuel gauge had yet to break the 5/8 mark as it was getting around 51.0 mpg.

The drive home went fairly uneventful, other than a short stop close to Nut Tree in Vacaville. I think the rest of the way I went on I-80, I-880 to the San Mateo-Hayward bridge and my exit was at Mariner's Island Blvd in Foster City, which lead to my street. It would have been a little after 9 PM when I arrived at home. Luckily I did not have to be at work until 8 AM on Monday the 3rd November. I would have one week until my next international adventure to somewhere new. On my longest nonstop flight on United that I can remember.

So that was the last time I drove on I-5 to Oregon. Hope you enjoyed this Halloween story from so long ago.

Next week, I should have the story of my fifteen year anniversary of my visit to Hong Kong, Macau and Tokyo Narita, but not Zhuhai in the PRC (though I was a quarter mile away from it, on the Macau side).

First project - get the neglected koi pond back to a healthy environment for the fish. This is the first of many bucks of string algae we scooped out. It was so thick that you couldn’t see the bottom and the poor fish were getting caught in it when trying to swim.
