Better Deal
Wednesday, Aug 19, 2015

Where is the “better deal?” I find it strange that all these months later, we are still waiting on the “better deal” to rid our valley of billboards. If the group, Citizens Against Billboard Blight, or CABB, has a better deal for us, please show it soon. I’d like to see the billboard blight...

Bait and Switch
Monday, Aug 10, 2015

I think our gasoline prices are so high because Gov. Jerry Brown wants us to get out of our cars and into his high-speed rail boondoggle. Here is more high-speed-rail lawsuit information for you to think about: Kings County has brought suit against the California High Speed Rail Authority because it...

Happy Birthday, Dad
Saturday, Aug 8, 2015

My father would have been 100 years old today. He was 35 when I was born and 51 when he died in a helicopter crash off Carpinteria on Nov. 7, 1966. I miss him still today. He was born just three years after the RMS Titanic sank after hitting an iceberg. Europe was engaged in a war so horrific we can...

Making Rockefeller Proud
Friday, Jul 31, 2015

We have a gasoline price problem here in Southern California. We must pay more than anyone else in the country. Our representatives in Sacramento haven’t found the answers and might not even be looking for the answers. A few people are out there looking, and here are some of the results. A reporter...

What Gives at the Pump?
Monday, Jul 27, 2015

I was stationed in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, for a time, and I cannot forget the shock I had every time I bought gas. The price was nearly twice what it was on the mainland. Then there was the time during a family vacation near Yellowstone National Park and gas was very expensive. I know the gas prices back...

Shoveling It
Tuesday, Jul 21, 2015

“Now I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain…” Pretty exciting events the last three days. Might even get to have some more storms. This is so much fun. Our great and wonderful leader of our formerly great and wonderful state of California has found yet another way to increase taxes. This time he...

Something to Talk About
Monday, Jul 20, 2015

What is all this rain? This is July, isn’t it? Thunder and lightning plus flash floods and mud slides. At least it gives the local social media sites something to talk about besides Confederate flags, gay marriage and other political topics. I love the rain for that alone. I’ll bet Church Street...

Offended by Flag
Friday, Jul 10, 2015

I find the California state flag offensive and racist. You see, the guys up in Sonoma who designed it back in 1846 said they wanted a flag that “didn’t look Mexican.” So maybe we should drop our flag and design something for today. History be damned. Maybe we shouldn’t call the liquid we pump...

Fool’s Fuel
Tuesday, Jun 30, 2015

“It’s not the heat, it’s the humidity.” What the heck happened to our normally dry heat? I thought I was back in Kentucky or Virginia. What we are calling humidity here would be an extremely dry day back there. In 1989 we moved from Benicia, Calif., to Chesapeake, Va. It was late summer in our...

We Need a Petition
Saturday, Jun 20, 2015

Just about when I thought I had seen it all from the California High Speed Rail Authority and our crazy reps up in Sacramento, they start another round of idiocy. You see, I’ve read yet another report – or more correctly an addendum to a report – that shows me just how 100 pages of “study”...
