Visit Tillamook Coast Small Businesses

We’ve had some rough winter weather recently. Thankfully, the floods have subsided and Highway 101 is open as normal. Highway 26 remains open and Highway 6, though down to one lane in spots, is open as well.

All of this crazy weather comes at a time of year where our county’s small businesses are gearing up for a busy Holiday season. It has thrown a wrench in what is typically busy season for them. With that in mind, I have a favor to ask.

Please get out and support our many small businesses – from Manzanita to Neskowin – this Holiday season. Shop for gifts, dine out, enjoy local scenery and attractions. And share the message that we are open and accessible.

Shopping locally is a fantastic way to support friends and neighbors and share your love of our many special communities and the small businesses that call them home.

With gratitude,

Dan Haag
Interim Executive Director

The Dancer Diaries, my feature film about strippers in Portland, is back on Tubi!

The film features north coast locations, as well as some local actors.

The actors:

Cedar Braasch @ 39:00 and 42:00

Kathleen Ryan @ 35:00

Sergeant Mike Sims @ 45:30

The link:

The film has had a hard time finding distribution, and I think my prior film may have something to do with it:

Besides delivering plenty of power for most homes this generator starts with a key and is very quiet and efficient especially in Eco-Mode which senses demand and adjusts automatically.

It was $2,000 new in June and has been maintained and runs perfectly.

I will deliver but please note it does not have the optional wheel kit.

Happy Solstice

“A little known fact about the Winter Solstice is that the Bee Hive comes back to life on this exact date. Even in complete darkness, after a winter surviving the cold, the Queen Bee senses when the Winter Solstice occurs by detecting the shift in electromagnetic energy from the Sun. At this moment, she instructs her workers to raise the temperature of the hive from its winter 75 degrees to 95 degrees—the exact temperature she needs to start laying her eggs for the Spring. The synergy of the hive working in unison creates a field of regeneration at the exact moment of the Winter Solstice—a lesson of renewal and rebirth in our own lives. “ (the Source of Synergy Foundation)
SYNERGY — working together– the power of the whole is greater than the parts. This is what we are learning: each person is transformed into something more powerful than they would be alone. In the Kabbalah the energy that arises from the transformation of uniting with others is called “Glory.” (wonder if that is where Glory Bee Honey’s name comes from) Let us use the wisdom of the Bees in uniting for the forest, for the waters, for the earth… for the well being of people, animals, and plants. Feel the energy revving up on the Winter Solstice!”
Gwendolyn Endicott

May the returning light fill us all with renewed vision.
Happy Solstice
