” While some hotels trumpet the ample square footage of their guest rooms, others rely on quirky coziness to attract customers.

Yotel, for example, offers ship-cabin-inspired rooms at several European airports and operates a full-sized hotel filled with snug (170-square foot), extremely efficiently-designed rooms near Times Square in New York City.

Sun, Wind, Surf and Sauna All At Once

April 25, 2014 at 10:30 am

“Spring is a great time to be outdoors -the weather is warming up, but you still aren’t hit by the oppressive summer heat. Unfortunately, in most places, it’s still too cool to head over to your nearest natural body of water and take a dip. Of course, if you have a Saunalautta, you might not feel that way. That’s because the delightful creations feature a fully functional sauna so you can cool down and heat back up, or go the more traditional route and build up a good sweat before jumping into the the icy waters below…”

Caught 15 lbs. Night Smelt Last Night/Knocked Down by Wave

April 22, 2014 at 6:03 pm

I went out last night with my new fishing guru, Kirk Lombard, netting night smelt. These are beautiful little fish. They come in to sandy beaches after dark during the quarter moon to spawn and there we were with our triangular nets (based on a Native American design). We hit it! I ended up with 16 lbs. Gonna fry some up for lunch. Only thing is, as I was rinsing them off, a rogue wave knocked me over—soaked to the skin, waders and all. This was like 9:30 PM, but I was so stoked I didn’t care. Changed into dry clothes and off to home with my bounty.

   If you live in the San Francisco bay Area and are interested in fishing—or getting fresh fish—here’s his website: https://www.seaforager.com There was a long article on him in the SF Weekly here.

I just read a really nice article he wrote on the Wiyot Indians of Humboldt county here. The guy can not only catch fish, but write!
