I tend to cry when I’m frustrated, and the Trump administration’s latest attacks on public media and threats to eliminate the Corporation for Public Broadcasting are frustrating. KWMR has been a recipient of a C.P.B. community service grant since 2007. Over the years, this funding has provided about 25 percent of our operating budget. What will it mean for West Marin’s FM radio station if the C.P.B. is defunded, or even eliminated?

The More Things Change The more they stay the same… On Saturday, August 5 I tested positive for COVID. I knew there was a good chance that I was going to come down with the virus after a significant exposure last Wednesday, and sure as shootin’ exactly three days post exposure (Wednesday being day zero), my skin started feeling “sick,” and I was down with the “VID.” My first time! It was avoidable, but it happened.
