Mornings with the One Percent™ Will Return Live Tomorrow...A Miss Calaveras Flashback Video for Today

Posted by: thepinetree on 04/25/2024 09:53 AM
Arnold, CA…Mornings with the One Percent™ is live weekday mornings. The premise for the show is that the USDA ranked all 3,142 counties or county equivalents in the USA on a livability or desirability scale based on factors such as climate, scenic beauty, bodies of water for recreation, humidity and much more. All of our area ranked not only in the top one percent but in the top one half of one percent. So in the ups and downs of daily life remember you don’t have to be a Gates, Buffett or Bezos to live like the one percent. Just live here!

Sender’s Market Weekly Ad & Grocery Specials Through April 30th! Shop Local & Save!!

Posted by: thepinetree on 04/24/2024 04:04 PM
Mountain Ranch, CA…In 1950, we started out as a family operation with Erich’s father and mother, August and Freida Sender, in a century-old adobe building. The upstairs was home to the Sender family, and the first floor included groceries, a meat market, a bar, and a small eating place called Opa’s Smokehouse. On Christmas morning in 1968, the old store was destroyed by fire. But in June 1969, Sender’s Market, Inc. was opened. Since that time, there have been many changes, including remodeling, expansion, and the addition of many employees. That’s also when we added the truss plant and purchased Sender’s Market Ace Hardware in Valley Springs. Today, we’re still family owned and still working hard to stock everything from pantry essentials to power tools. Whether you’ve got questions about the perfect cut of meat or the right kind of paint, our helpful, knowledgeable staff has you covered. Click on images below for larger versions

A Bit of Wisdom from the 1738 Poor Richard's Almanac

Posted by: thepinetree on 04/24/2024 02:49 PM
Philadelphia, PA...Our Favorite Founding Father is Ben Franklin. He didn't just help found our country during the 1776 era.   For two generations before he helped sell concepts of Freedom, Self-Determination & Inalienable rights. From 1733 to 1758 Poor Richards Almanac helped create the unique American identity in a homey, common sense, aspirational way. A few Bits of Wisdom from 1738...



There are three faithful friends, an old wife, an old dog, and ready money.
Who has deceiv'd thee so oft as thy self?
Buy what thou hast no need of; and e'er long thou shalt sell thy necessaries.
Read much, but not many books.
Write with the learned, pronounce with the vulgar.
Hast thou virtue? acquire also the graces & beauties of virtue.
If you wou'd not be forgotten As soon as you are dead and rotten, Either write things worth reading, Or do things worth the writing.
Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor Liberty to purchase power.
Let thy vices die before thee.
Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, half shut afterwards.
Since thou art not sure of a minute, throw not away an hour.
Since I cannot govern my own tongue, tho' within my own teeth, how can I hope to govern the tongues of others?
Time is an herb that cures all Diseases.
Drive thy business; let not that drive thee.
Search others for their virtues, thy self for thy vices.
