Satellite Dialysis Clinic Hit By Arsonist A Second Time
We heard sirens and saw fire trucks screaming up the road while we were loading groceries into the car at a shopping center on Monday evening. When we drove toward home we passed the place where the fire department was dealing with the work of a really demented arsonist. Unfortunately, it's not the first attack on the dialysis clinic. And there have been other incidents in the Watsonville area.
A Molotov cocktail is usually the work of someone who is angry, but why would anyone target a place that is only trying to help sick people? No one was in the clinic at the time, but the building also houses Green Valley Grill, which apparently did have to be evacuated. So if the arsonist(s) thought they were having their say without endangering lives they were wrong on several counts.

Boards Made From Recycled Plants
We've seen a lot of advertising lately for products made of bamboo: cutting boards, furniture and even clothing. But I was surprised to learn that we can now make things from sorghum plant fiber. Kirei Board has strength, is environmentally sensible and has an exotic texture that would lend itself well to both traditional and modern design settings.
