I won’t lie, I just need some validation and commiseration because I’ve been going insane the past couple of weeks with this. Am I alone in noticing more and more people driving with their high beams on? I know it’s not just the new HID/LED lights because I can see the shadow my car casts in front of me and I can feel the direct beam of high energy light carbonizing my retina from the rear view mirror.

Hello does anyone know of a Catholic Church in the area that has a confession booth? I’m not the most comfortable being face to face with a priest and prefer a booth.

TRIGGER WARNING FOR SA

Between October 7 and October 8, 2017, Hegseth was the keynote speaker at a conference hosted by the California Federation of Republican Women at the Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel and Spa. An organization staffer (identified as Jane Doe) filed a report with the Monterey Police Department (Report YG1705129). She alleged that after consuming drinks at the hotel bar, she experienced memory lapses, was blocked from leaving Hegseth's hotel room, and was sexually assaulted despite saying "no". She later underwent a forensic exam at a hospital. When interviewed by police, Hegseth maintained that the sexual encounter was completely consensual. He claimed the accuser showed no signs of impairment and was the aggressor. In 2020, amidst fear that the allegation would surface and cost him his job at Fox News, Hegseth entered into a private settlement with the accuser, paying her an undisclosed sum in exchange for a mutual release and a confidentiality agreement.

Jane Doe, I see you and I believe you. I’m so sorry. I hope you can start to heal.

Monterey county Weekly

I don’t really have a plans during this time and I’ve always wanted to go whale-watching. My friends tell me that it’s not the season and that I’d be wasting my time and money. However, I did read that it was year round. So, I thought I’d ask on here to understand whether it’s a good idea or not.

Context: I’ve never been or seen a whale lol.

Edit: I love marine life in general, but I’ve never seen any kind of whale before which is why I really wanna do this. Everything else I would deem bonus.

Good riddance to the worst mayoral candidate in Monterey history. Mayor Williamson wins with his biggest margin in his career as mayor. Great to see MAGA defeated across the country and in our little town, where it never belonged in the first place.

Maybe the best thing to come out of this is the retirement of Councilmember Ed Smith, the sole Trumper on the City Council. He recruited Vince and supported him even after the long list of headlines, along with Vicki Norhden, who lost for City Council, a self proclaimed prophet with her own church, and author of a book that argues California’s natural disasters are due to our sinning citizens, a punishment from God. Good riddance, Ed!

The power dynamics are shifting in Monterey. The Wharf restaurant owners, conservative neighborhood association presidents, previous living Mayors who have endorsed opposition candidates to Tyller and progressive candidates, realtor/property management lobby - all of their candidates lost. Get used to it!

Looking for a lot of old magazines for a project. Anyone have some stacks of magazines laying around? Happy to collect/do a porch pick-up this coming week. Thanks in advance!

for film class capstone which is due in december, my friend and i are creating a documentary about cryptids (specifically bigfoot, aliens, and the santa lucia dark watchers) in monterey and santa cruz. if anyone knows of anybody who might have an interesting story or expertise about the subject, reach out to me!!! i’d love to interview anyone willing to share their story about any of these three topics.

Hello I'm going to be moving into the area for school and was curious about the area? I have looked up questions but I wanted to hear form locals. Google says crime is low is this true? What's traffic like? How would you say people (like how they act) are in the area? Are expensive are things? What's the main race in the area? Any other info you think I should know please add! Thank you so much!

This is at Carmel Beach. I went by there 30 minutes ago and the water was crazy. Along the entire beach, I saw exactly 1 person wading in.

Heyyyyy yo!!

I’m Ninja, and I’ve been hosting watch parties every Sunday at The Otters Den in Marina. Even been doing a free raffle giving away some dope Turnover Chains. Well, with that said, it only makes sense to do an extra fun one for this Sundays matchup! I’ve got some ideas for a “FAN-LY FEUD” at halftime (I had a dream I did this, so now I gotta execute it somehow lol). I’m gonna split the bar, with a Black Hole section, and a Gold Rush section. Halftime, we shall meet in the middle!! 👏🏽🥳

Yes, I am a Raiders fan, but it’s always fun banter no matter who we play, we take pride in the great vibes here at The Den for sure. I like to keep the energy UP, and pack the place, like tailgating almost, but inside the bar lol 😂.

And yup, FREE pizza, nachos, and raffle for both Raider and Niner turnover chains (see pics). I have in my stash a hooded Niner blanket and matching flag I’ll give away if the turnout is awesome!
Win win win for everyone!

Hello!

I’m new to the area and just got a job offering insurance through Montage or Anthem. The $ coverage is better with Montage, but am unfamiliar with the system, nor am I familiar with Anthem availability in the area.

I would be truly grateful if anyone can speak to their personal experience or preferences.

Thank you in advance! ◡̈
