As Stephanie “The Chocolate Lady” Allestad alluded to in a comment a little while ago, the Moclips/Pacific Beach area was hit by a power outage. The official story, from the PUD:

Grays Harbor PUD is working to restore power to about 60 customers in the Moclips and Pacific Beach areas. Earlier this afternoon approximately 180 customers lost power due to an equipment failure (an insulator). Power was restored to all but about 60 customers by about 1:30pm. Power is expected to be restored to the remaining customers by about 6pm

Great idea, but won’t happen this year:

“It is with a great deal of remorse that I have this announcement to make.  The Ghost Forest Festival, scheduled for July 25th, has been cancelled.  We were unable to meet the insurance committments for the event.  We would ask everyones patience as we work forward to having the event next year.

In last week’s newspaper, we saw the notorious public writer Craig “Pancho Villa” Heiller whitewashing over one of his more offensive home-made signs (a screed against a former North Coast News editor). But what would he come up with next? “I hope it’s not even worse,” one reader emailed me. Well, last week the outlandish purveyor of J. Wales Trading Post in Copalis Beach really shocked his neighbors and SR 109 passers-by: he decided to paint a sign plugging a friendly local business.

But wait, there’s more . . .(see next post)
