Five Days
Saturday, Sep 12, 2015

I wrote the following a few years ago and want to share it again. Just like the attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, the attack on Sept. 11, 2001, was dastardly and unprovoked. I know I should have written this yesterday – but for me, just thinking about that day chokes me up. Let me share this...

Buckets and Border Lines
Friday, Sep 11, 2015

I’ve got to catch up on a few things I wrote about over the past few days. Here goes: Young Master Ryan who was in the horrific traffic collision at Sierra Highway and Vasquez Canyon Road is doing much better. He was taken out of ICU and put in a normal room. Prayer really works. My source says they...

Forward to the Past?
Tuesday, Sep 8, 2015

What a wonderful weekend with a bright sky and warm temps. A breeze in the evening that came at sunset so you could watch it in comfort. Well, it is heating up for the next few days. Stand by your air conditioners and stay calm. There was a time when few folks in this valley had that modern marvel called...

Pray for Ryan
Monday, Sep 7, 2015

If you’ve been out of town for the weekend, isn’t it wonderful to think about getting back home late today? Hey – at least the price of gasoline is a lot lower. Enjoy the drive. And please be safe. We’ve got a number of intersections in the SCV where you must be extra careful. The worst one...

Caps, Trades and Polar Bears
Sunday, Sep 6, 2015

I don’t want to follow the rules, so please excuse me from doing so. But I do want the cash you have from folks who are following the rules. Pretty fair to me, don’t you know? The folks at the California High Speed Rail Scam Authority have requested that taxes collected from carbon Cap-and-Trade...

Thank You, Buck (Not)
Saturday, Aug 29, 2015

It’s over. The long fight with Cemex is over … at last. The city of Santa Clarita and indeed the whole of the Santa Clarita Valley have a reason to celebrate. I just wonder if some of the invoices from the fight the city had to fund can be sent to former Congressman Howard “Take-The-Buck” McKeon....

Men of Harmony
Thursday, Aug 27, 2015

Do you know what I’ll be doing at least one night a week? I’ve found a perfect group for me to join. The SPEBSQSA. At least that is what it used to be called. Yes, the Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet Singing in America. Now, since it has become a global organization,...

I’ll Catch the Rerun
Tuesday, Aug 25, 2015

It is Monday evening, and today I was offered two jobs. The first involved a position of authority that has been very good for me in the past. I recently overcame a medical condition that would allow me to return to such a job. It would have been a great job with wonderful pay and benefits. Yes, a position...

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...
