36-Hour Concert at KOA
I wasn't planning to do a post about the 36-hour DJ-fest at the nearby KOA campground, but I've been following the comments at the
PDN article. And now the comments are gone.
Anyone know why they all got deleted?

I don't care where the comments went. But I'm very dissapointed with the response from the authorties and the anarchy that was near my house and on the roads. It was very scary. I guess Romney is right, "Seattle Counter Culture" is a person, and since it's comprised of more than one person, it has more rights than my family and Clallam sure is on board with that. Not sure what we are doing, but we moved to this area for some peace and quiet in our last years and we are all very upset and sick over it. Literally sick.
Looks like PDN comments are back.
Comments seem to be attached to each published story, so maybe you are looking at a new one that doesn't have comments yet? Search at the PDN for KOA and you'll see these, plus two that don't exist anymore...

Thanks for the links. 3 out of those 4 articles had comments at the end.
But the article I linked to in the post still has no comments, and it originally had about 20 or 30 comments. Last night I checked that article to see if there were any more comments, and they were all missing.
The PDN does this constantly. A huge comment thread will build up, and then suddenly they're all missing.
Thanks again for those links. Interesting comments on a volatile subject.
I have a feeling it has to do with the way to facebook comments integrate with their web publishing system. They may be updating the story somehow and the facebook plugin thinks it is a whole new story and loses the old comments.
I don't comment at the PDN site cuz I don't have a Facebook account.
But judging by the story I'm glad I don't live close to that campground, I don't like loud parties at night and have shut a few down in DNR campgrounds.
Hey, I see the furniture store downtown is open again. Things must be well, yes?
Cafe New Day is open downtown too, serving breakfast and lunch. Lots of good looking stuff on the menu.
because the PDN is run by a bunch of a**wipes. They constantly delete posts, and change the articles to delete posts. When someone complains though, the weenies will put them back up, until the next time they take them down.
I have no idea what the issue is...but they seem to be mighty insecure for grown men.
I find it disturbing the the PDN makes you sign into your facebook account via PDN, which facebook warns is "not secure". I wish they'd figure it out.
Yes....Cafe NEW DAY...
Good friendly people and good food.
Give them a try....They just recently opened on the south/west corner of Front and Laurel downtown.
Help support local businesses.
Please, people. It's FARMS not Facebook!
We sure have stupid people running this town. Not smart enough to figure how to save a bluff so are going to waste money on wave monitors instead of saving the money for a fix.
Wave monitors, rolls eyes, they've been watching what waves have been doing to it for years.
I'll bet ten of us idiots could put our heads together and decide what needs to be done and get to doing it without a bunch of money wasted on stupid studies.
It's just teabaggers. Too many of them populate organizations. They are just trying to fuck things up. Typical right wing BS. Nothing new.
BBC - oh contrare - once it starts leaking, it will be like the BP oil spill, will never be able to be stopped.
A couple of weeks back, I was kayaking (in my canoe) and I smelled what I believe was grandma's old perfume. I believe it was called "Petunia Mist" and I sort of like the leaking bluff for now. Whether I was smelling grandma's ghost, or Petunia Mist, does not matter, the dump is special to me. She was a neat lady.
You know what? Fashion Bug is closing. In fact, all Fashion Bugs are closing. Google it. This would be a great time for someone to start a misses and plus women's store. Everything in town is mainly juniors sizes. And not everyone can wear junior women's clothing. Just sayin'.

Billy, You sure are right on this one. We DO have a bunch of stupid people running this town.
The dump has been closed for years, and the bright folks in City Hall figured it was best to truck all our garbage to Eastern Oregon. ( First it takes a truck ride to the Columbia river, were it gets put on a barge, and gets barged up the Columbia river. Then it gets unloaded onto a train for a ride out to Boardman, Oregon, were it is dumped in a landfill site there).
You can't stop the ocean from eroding the bluffs. Sooner or later, nature wins. Federal policy is against building thing like seawalls.
The garbage along the bluffs should be removed. Period. Cheaper. Faster. Done.
Federal policy is against building thing like seawalls.
Well, the Fed's are stupid also. And if removing it is the best answer because a wall can't be built then they should just start removing it.
Or just let it fall into the ocean, nothing in nature is wasted. The planet has become so over populated that we're screwed anyway.
Question... If it was the city at risk of sliding into the sea would the feds allow a seawall to be built?
"Question... If it was the city at risk of sliding into the sea would the feds allow a seawall to be built?"
This question was answered many years ago. After many cycles of developers building in hazardous areas which then were destroyed by natural disasters, then requiring the Feds/taxpayers to fund re-building in those same areas, which then were flooded/destroyed again, the Feds started to see this was stupid.
You saw towns in the regularly flooding areas along the Mississippi be required to re-build up out of flood zones. You see policies along the eroding coastlines of the Atlantic not allowing beach houses to be rebuilt after they get destroyed by waves.
Here in Port Angeles, the city had the choice to remove the garbage 6 years ago, but instead built a seawall for millions. Predictably, the staff now says it would cost over a hundred million dollars to remove the garbage. But they actually did remove huge amounts of the same garbage to build the seawall right next to the same area now eroding, for only a few hundred thousand! (People in Port Angeles will believe anything Cutler tells them)
Now, only a few years later, the City is back, spending millions more to build yet more seawalls, to hold back the same garbage. Clearly, the city has it right! With this approach, all of the coast will need seawalls!
Sometimes, however rarely, government does see how outright stupid it is to repeatedly ask the taxpayers to continue with failed approaches.
Except here in Port Angeles.
"You saw towns in the regularly flooding areas along the Mississippi be required to re-build up out of flood zones."
True, I saw a few towns do that. But about a hundred thousand and a score of major cities - along the ol' Miss, not do that. Wrong again, hall monitor.
fashion bug was poorly named and "lane bryant" crappy made clothing, with cheap material. Good. Glad to hear that plague on the planet is gone, or going.
Ascena retail will probably NOT close the local Fashion Bug, this year, or next. It's not on the chopping block, yet. It may be changed into a different name (i.e. Dress Barn, etc) and then focus on one size group. However, the big issue is that their main competition is Walmart.
Junk clothing, though. I'm not sad to see them go.

Well, I'm going fishing...
"Wrong again, hall monitor."
Right. You're going to defend the city wasting millions of taxpayer monies on stupid projects that clearly show they will fail, repeatedly.
In this case, they built a seawall a few years ago, and now they are proposing to build more because the sea didn't stop it's habit of eroding land away. Who could have seen THAT coming.
Were you are the Council meeting where this was discussed? The City Engineer couldn't get even such basic facts as to how much erosion was actually happening straight, telling the council it was 3 to 15 feet per year, then calculating the life of the proposed seawalls on 1 foot of erosion per year.
Maybe you want to underwrite the home/property insurance for the houses on the bluffs on Gerhke?
Poorly named perhaps, but the quality and style of clothing had picked up in the last two years at Fashion Bug. It wasn't any crappier than most of the stuff sold at the larger department stores. And it was certainly better quality than the crap at Walmart.
I wouldn't mind it coming back as a Dress Barn although the name of that store is just as unappealing as Fashion Bug. It gives the impression of farm animals in clothing.
Farm animals in women's clothing? Ooohh..
Fashion Bug, Dress Barn, are bad names, agreed. The clothing quality is poor, very comparable to Ross or the other faux "outlet stores". The fabric is flimsy, the cuts are very simple, and the stitching is done in 3rd world countries by what amount to slaves. The markup (over manufacturing costs) is well over 600%, sometimes higher.
The whole fashion industry is a joke, in that the quality fabrics, good (timeless) designs last 100 times longer than the typical consumer "this season" fashions -- but people would rather buy 10 skirts than one quality made one. And we wonder why we are living in a consumer-driven, crashing economy. Less is more, folks. Less is way more.
There's a chain called the Dress Barn?
God, that name is even worse than Fashion Bug. I know most Americans are fat, but really...A name that implies your clothing is big enough to cover a barn? Yikes!
"Less is more, folks. Less is way more."
My pair of Carhartts last me years.
Oooh, but I might look like a red neck and that's BAD! Better stick with junk from Walmart!
