By Sue Misao Here in Carlton, and also all over the valley, possibly the county, these black circles have suddenly appeared. They seem to be affiliated with the new PUD fiber-optic thing, and they are an eyesore. Certainly they are important for some reason, but in fact they are disturbing my formerly pristine view […]

Carlton: Aug. 21, 2013
By Sue Misao For years I have been complaining in the public prints about the lack of friendly outdoor seating in Carlton. This was finally resolved for a short time when these lovely chairs were strategically placed just south of the Carlton bridge a couple weeks ago. They were comfy, inviting and very close to […]
Carlton: July 31, 2013
It was a tall, skinny week in Carlton, hence this. Food is happening, which can make it difficult to be tall and skinny, unless you eat that new coffee popcorn stuff at the Carlton Store that is super healthy and good for you. Serious addiction possibilities. Also you can now buy fresh Willow Brook Farm […]

By SUE MISAO Hi Carlton people, I would tell you the haps but it’s too hot and besides I just washed my windows for like the first time in about 10 years and I’m super confused because I don’t know where I am or where all those plants and things came from. I mean who […]

The news is grim, but thankfully most of it is outside the relative safety of Carlton. Plane/train crashes and military coups and armed vigilantes remind us of the fragility of life, and how bizarre and curious and seemingly unlikely our individual survival is. How is it that I’m still alive? Or am I? Any day […]

BY SUE MISAO It is a beautiful, perfect day in Carlton. According to my telephone, it’s 82 degrees out there and the sun is shining, there’s a slight breeze, butterflies are flitting about and flowers are absolutely glowing. All this from a phone. It is such a joy to sit indoors and type out that […]
Carlton Post Office meeting on reduced hours set for June 17
Photo by Sue Misao BY MARCY STAMPER A good percentage of people served by the Carlton post office filled out a survey seeking their input on ways to save money at the facility, which handles mail for 260 customers. The U.S. Postal Service has proposed reducing window hours in Carlton to four hours a […]

BY SUE MISAO It was kind of a cool, buggy, muggy, rainy, warmish week in Carlton, good for pulling weeds and burning old tree parts that somehow got separated from their original bodies. Trees are just giant weeds that escaped the lawn mower enough times to become unmowable. Every plant, from the tiniest blade of […]

BY SUE MISAO There’s a note on the Carlton Post Office door apologizing for the state of the flower garden. It’s true we have been spoiled by having such flowerful landscaping to tiptoe through on the path to our junk mail. According to the note, this will be solved as soon as the new gardener […]
