I’m looking forward to another exciting River Cats season, full of thrills and spills and inappropriate sponsorship. In preparation I made myself a Google calendar of all the home games (I’m the proud and lucky beneficiary of season tickets again) and I thought this might be of use to others so here it is:

Well with a cute title like this, you’re sure to get great turnout: Presenting the next Sac County Citizen’s Academy presentation: Learn Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About CPS but Were Afraid to Ask (PDF).
But I kid the county. There probably isn’t much about CPS that doesn’t scare most of us.
Rancho Cordova’s recent ordinance banning certain businesses including tattoo parlors and check-cashing businesses also targets thrift stores. According to the Bee today, Salvation Army had recently planned to move into a new location in Rancho and is now being banned by that ordinance and is gearing up for a fight, including possible legal action against Rancho.
The ban is aimed at improving the “public health, safety and welfare” of Rancho Cordova. I suppose a gently used blazer or a macrame picture frame touched by an elderly woman might contain deadly biotoxins.
I don’t think we want to be in his shadow anymore…
San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom issued an apology Thursday following reports that he had an affair between his former assistant, the wife of his campaign manager, who resigned earlier this week.
Via NBC San Diego. An affair between? Please! Just the basic facts are enough!
So I was sitting last night at dinner in a local family chain eatery, watching in horror as children as young as 5 were being left completely unsupervised in a crowded restaurant, planning a long rant recounting all the times I’ve seen this happen lately. And then I realized that I can’t say a darned thing.
Twenty-five museums (there are that many?) are participating in the ninth annual Museum Day on Saturday. Museum Day means free admission from 10 to 4 at participating spots, with free shuttle service to some of them, and plenty of other fun activities. Check it out.
It’s not all bad news for Sacramento radio fans… Over the weekend I noticed that Flash 92.1 has undergone a rebirth and is now K-HITS 92.1, Sacramento’s Cool Oldies, filling a gap I had noticed previously. Those of you who are reading this thinking that 92.1 was “Jack” are thinking of “Bob,” which was at 92.1 way back a few months ago before it changed to Flash and then to K-HITS.
Kids: Do not plan to go into the radio industry.
The only redeeming feature of “The Sports Show,” CBS13’s new half-hour sports show featuring Arran Andersen and Gary Gelfand, is that it occasionally features sports footage. While I originally thought this show had premiered in September (based on reporting of its original launch date on 21Q), I managed to completely by chance catch the premiere broadcast on Friday night. (Hat tip to new reader anaughtymouse)
Let me start with the inexcusable logo, which is either a blatant ripoff of The Man Show’s logo, or a cheap reference to that show’s logo (see what I’m talking about in the lower right corner of the screenshot). Either way, seriously, that’s all you’ve got?

According to the Bee today, Thomas Enterprises, Inc., new owner and developer of the railyard, are going to be moving as fast as possible to clean up the toxic areas of that site.
The faster the cleanup, the sooner Thomas will get city approval for development. The sooner the company sells parcels to developers, the faster it can pay off loans and turn a profit.
My mom always loved this approach to cleaning my room. Why on earth would you attempt to portray your handling of a gigantic environmental mess as proceeding as fast as humanly possible? It’s one thing if there are just a few big-box stores going in there, but there are going to be thousands of homes on that site.
Anybody know a good copyright lawyer out there? I can’t tell but I think The Sac Rag’s copyright is being infringed by “ralph myree,” registered owner of “Free Traffic Counter” which as pictured is reprinting an article by sac-eats without attributing it to our site. However, the link for “Original post” does point to our post. Is there a name for this type of site? I assume it is just built to generate Adsense revenue. Maybe I’ll sue Google too, for allowing its service to be used in such a manner!
