Brewocracy Now ~ 8/22/24

Taylor Clark was joined by a surprise guest /co-host Steve King, Director of Public Works for the City of Port Townsend. Taylor and Steve kind of geeked out over some of the details of the city’s “Gravity Water System” and the recent leak near Snow Creek. That conversation lead to the topic of water conservation, particularly with irrigation. And then we talked about the need to mow tinder-dry parking strips. Steve mentioned that there are some residents who are fiscally or physically unable to do this, so if you can help out a neighbor, please do. Or e-mail [email protected] if you would like to extend your services to assist.

#248 Ellen Falconer: Be Mindful Today

(Airdate: August 20, 2024) Maryanne interviews Ellen Falconer, massage therapist and mindfulness coach. Ellen hopped through several careers before ending up here. She worked in radio for a while then studied marine technology and became an “ordinary seaman” for Arco Marine. Those four-months-long voyages at sea became rather long and somewhat tedious. She was then an EMT, worked in bakeries, and vet’s offices. She spent years as a sail maker culminating in a stint as director of the Wooden Boat Festival. She studied massage and became licensed. But along the way she discovered mindfulness training. She now teaches “mindfulness-based stress reduction” through Olympic Peninsula Mindfulness (olympicpeninsulamindulness.com). One lesson: “zebras don’t get ulcers.”
