Earlier this morning, our colleague, DJ Chuck Rogers, checked in with Sen. Mike McGuire for a little chat about the Humboldt Holiday Food Drive, which is underway at local high schools, and of which our sister station KHUM (104.7 FM, or online) has long been a proud sponsor.

While they were at it, Rogers and McGuire recapped the response to yesterday’s big earthquake and agreed that it was a good drill, and blessedly not much worse than that.

Check out their conversation below. And don’t forget: The Holiday Food Drive culminating event/party happens Thursday, Dec. 12 from 3 to 6 p.m. at the Eureka Safeway. There’ll be a secret special guest, looks like!
