I hate when I see it. But this column is about dingbats.
An aside: I just left my doctor. His chief whatever mentioned that she had faxed a note to another medical provider. They faxed a reply asking that she resend the note. ” But please type it out as I don’t read cursive ” Honestly there is no way in the world I could make that up.

Thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday for the Hummingbird Block Party! Great food, laughter, and conversation made for a wonderful afternoon. Thank you Matt, Debbie and Sophie for hosting the party on your gorgeous lot! During the festivities, we had the opportunity to see our community in action!
Many of us have heard the dog howling in the neighboring mobile home park. During the party, Dana and Stan (and Bobby Lee!) shared that the dog’s owner had been hospitalized. The dog had a doggie door and could come and go freely, and caring neighbors were making sure he had food, water, and attention.
Dana and Stan know and contacted the property manager and offered to help connect everyone involved. The dog’s owner has finally been released from the hospital and reunited with his pup. This is a pic of Bobby Lee sitting in my chair (sometimes it’s Vanessa’s chair, sometimes it’s my chair, now it’s Bobby Lee’s chair).
Then an unexpected visitor wandered into the party…a lone gosling!
Tricia rescued the little one, and neighbors from across Timber Valley quickly stepped in to help.
Dianne Good contacted Bob Day, who works with a wildlife rescue. Bob safely transported the gosling to a wildlife rescue facility in Oakland, where it could receive the care it needed.
These moments captured the very best of Timber Valley. Thank you to everyone who helped make the afternoon such a memorable celebration of our community!
The Alder Way front‑lot drainage project was completed on June 24, 2026. We had outstanding support from volunteers — many from PCM and several others who simply stepped in because they wanted to help.
Thank you all so very much.
Volunteers: Bud Covington, Charlie Torrisi, Bruce Belfils, Dale Vice, Jeff Russell, Tim Wiewel, Paul Nelson, Bob Feiler, Tony Keister, Rockey Shanahan, Patty Healey, Dave Fletcher, Dick Shanahan, George Boykin, Len Bachtell, Bob Johnson, Sam Lucas, Len Hofferber, Karen Hofferber, Larry Johnson, Roger Chermak, Darold Perry, Joe (Lot 28 truck driver), and one of our renters.
I hope I didn’t miss anyone. Again — thank you to every single person who contributed.
Respectfully, Dick Shanahan, PCM Chair
