For an unprecedented fourth time in five weeks, your Lost Coast Outpost and KHUM are again teaming up for arbitrary and capricious listing of local topics. It’s a little gimmick we call Humboldt Ranked.

Here’s how this works: Starting at 11 a.m., we’ll open up the phones on KHUM (786-5486). At that point you can call in and pitch a nominee as well as where you think it should go on the list. Sell it, Humboldters. Over the course of the next couple hours, live on the radio, a definitive ranking will be discussed, debated and ultimately etched in e-stone for all eternity.

Tune in to KHUM 104.3/104.7 (or online here) to experience the drama live and follow along with the results below. Later we’ll upload the audio for posterity. Do you love this? Why not!

Let’s rank Humboldt now.

THIS WEEK’S TOPIC: Life is best when balanced. You need to know when to tweak. So if Humboldt had a recipe what would you add a pinch more of? Also, what is overpowering the rest of this meal? 

Specifically, what does Humboldt need more of and/or what does it need less of?
