THE RULES & MORE
Best free pile
We’ve got it good here in Humboldt — good food, good beer, good people. Every year we ask Journal readers to help us sort the best from the good. Where do you get great sushi every single time? What mechanic do you trust to fix your car? Where’s the best vista you never get tired of? Let’s do this thing! Head over to northcoastjournal.com to fill out the ballot online — it will save you time and us the anguish of trying to read your handwriting. VOTING CLOSES OCT. 7 AT 5 P.M. Yes, we will pull the plug at that precise moment. Please be specific. (Hunan’s — which one?) NEW RULE THIS YEAR: Ballots with fewer than 15 answers will not be counted. OLD RULES: Play fair. Campaigning to win is great, but duplicating ballots or otherwise cheating the system is just mean. Don’t do it.
