The West Marin Feed gained traction as a Facebook page and many of the local followers still find it there. Times have changed and Twitter has taken over as a better news medium, but WMF still posts on Facebook at least two or three times a week.

The best part about Facebook (if there is one) is that there is a lot of really good information that people are able to add to stories in the comments. Unfortunately, you have to go to the Facebook post itself to see these comments, they cannot be imported onto this feed.

Anyone know what they're shooting just between Nicasio and the Reservoir? It's massive, whatever it is -- I saw that the stars were being given escorts by the highway patrol, and there are fake signs up ("Rabbit Rabbit") for extras to find the place they're supposed to go.

Any good water conservation ideas from West Mariners? The Citizen is looking for innovative, brilliant (make that entertaining,) ideas to publish for our possible adoption. My North Marin Water bill was cut 50% from last year on this last bill, just by paying attention and saving the dish washing water for the garden. Send ideas to Linda at West Marin Citizen.

"Two hikers who died a few days apart in the same area of Mount Tamalpais both died accidentally, one from fall injuries and the other from hypothermia, the Marin County sheriff's department said Tuesday." So that should put that to rest.

County fire Battalion Chief Mike Giannini said fire crews had the blaze "10 percent" contained at 10:15 a.m. after having difficulty reaching the site a mile or so inside the park on the north side of Sir Francis Drake Boulevard.
"It's a long narrow fire," he said, adding fog prevented state aircraft from lending a hand. "We've got a lot of resources coming in," he added. "This will be a ground battle. It will be a long day."

It definitely 'shipping day' out at one of the ranches today. I was behind the whole convoy of cows going to meet their maker. One of the ranchers yelled out 'go eat a hamburger!' as I drove by.

Via Marc: "Friday, 10am Large empty cattle trucks headed out to the point (Reyes.) Somebody losing a herd? A ranch shutting down?"
I saw those too, Thought it was related to Western Weekend, but I'd say not. Maybe it's 'time for steaks' day?

from dave brast: Beware! Automobile break-in and theft
I just received the following email from Judy Spelman and Rich Schiller:
One of our cars was broken into while parked on Limantour Road, near Bear Valley Road and virtually everything in it removed through the window they shattered. Police expect more such break ins in coming days which is why we're sending this email. Our mistake, apparently, was having one side of the car close to roadside bushes, which gave the thief cover. Take good care!

Did you know you can watch Marin's election results live until 10:30 pm tonight at CMCM.tv (channel 27)? In a stunning upset, Susan Adams losing soundly to Damon Conneley. Old Pt. Reyes Resident and Supervisor Judy Arnold is in a very tight squeeze at the moment, the Library Measure passing soundly as is the Farmer's Market one. All the state props are passing, housing for Veterans, etc. Marc Levine is going to face-off against the republican candidate Greg (oops forgot last name) and Diana Conti would have to pull out a "hail-mary" in the absentee ballot counts to win for Assemblymember. Huffman prevails.
