Good Morning Monterey Bay

Ep. 433 - GMMB Friday 18 Oct 2024

Doctor Pete was threatened by a guy with a shotgun with being made to walk naked through the neighborhood. He didn't. We also learned dogs do not have vocal chords, but a pair of vocal flaps with which they bark. Charlie told us of blooming flowers that are good choices as we move into winter. Alex and Rosemary agreed that the week's movies included three separate winners: Anora, Rumours and Bookworm. Skip Panda Plan.

Ep. 432 - GMMB Thursday 17 Oct 2024

Hey, hey, we were Monkees today. At least we heard them. It is the 35th anniversary of the Loma Prieta earthquake. We remembered the Cooper House fondly. Rosemary gushed over what a good dog Jack is.

Ep. 431 - GMMB Wednesday 16 Oct 2024

We enjoyed the Michael Jackson music so much in episode 430 that today we are listening to The Jackson 5. Jaime joined us and we talked croutons as well as cooking an unthawed turkey that comes in a bag with no neck or giblets. How do you make gravy from that? We looked for reasons to love a hagfish and found none. Jackson 5 music was all good up until the last song, which was a Christmas carol. Too early for that, it seems.

Ep. 430 - GMMB Tuesday 15 Oct 2024

Good news included a story of a cancer kitchen begun in China, which became very popular. Rachael rightly pointed out that the housing going in on 41st Avenue will bring a lot more traffic than the proposed Nissan dealership that was nixed for that reason. John Laird let us in on his plan to, after Santa Cruz has built housing at an adequate pace for a couple years, suggest zoning authority return once again to local jurisdiction. All through the show we enjoyed Michael Jackson music.

Ep. 429 - GMMB Monday 14 Oct 2024

Mark Mozena let us know we have one more day to see Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, tonight, October 14, right after sunset in the western sky. We also talked about SpaceX catching a rocket booster with giant chopsticks. Also, apparently there are space people in Milan, Italy. Michael Olson told of Monterey Mushroom closing their plant in Royal Oaks soon.

Ep. 428 - GMMB Friday 11 Oct 2024

Dr. Pete told why a dog might have a lump under the jaw, with cattle and humans being similarly affected. Alex and Rosemary talked movies. She picked Piece By Piece and he liked Woman of the Hour. Charlie Kuetman had good news about his old business, The Garden Company, and bad news about the Shothole Boring beetle, an unfortunate transplant from L.A. Bad for trees. As of a week ago it has changed hands, and he expects good things for it. Jacobi is going to New Orleans again. Happy Kraken Day.

Ep. 427 - GMMB Thursday 10 Oct 2024

We find out why Jacobi does not get Christmas cards from Kenny G.  In the good news we heard about Taylor Swift donating $5,000,000 to help victims of the two recent hurricanes, and about someone else who discovered they have a genuine Picasso painting worth even more than that. Bill made the mistake of nosing past Rosemary in trivia, possibly earning him a category of airports for Friday's deciding match.

Ep. 426 - GMMB Wednesday 9 Oct 2024

Helbard of Little Hill Sanctuary let us know Sparrow, who is not a bird but a dog, is doing well. Also, they have acquired a pot belly pig. Perhaps the talented photographer will have a photo of the new addition on their website soon. Gary surprised us with a call from Manhattan, where he and Robin are getting lots of steps in by stepping around the naked guitarist, rather right up to him to have a picture taken. Jaime Smith told us an improbable story of people polishing rice, but of course he is always right. He was also right about the best crackers to pair with cheese, and what is good when it sits on a ritz.
