On a Scale of One to TenSo how much does anyone care what happens to Michael Jackson’s fortune? I’m afraid more people care than should. I deplore the fact that he, like some other sad human beings, is the idol of millions. I could possibly care somewhat about what happens to his children. They’ve not had a very good start and deserve a… click here to continue June, 29th, 2009 Who Are These PeopleRecently I’ve browsed through a number of blogs, and read some of the news items on the internet. Scrolling down through hundreds of comments, I am alarmed by the hate and vitriol, as well as the apparent lack of knowledge of the comments’ authors. I can’t help but wonder who these people are and whether they spend all their… click here to continue June, 25th, 2009 New BuildingOut here in King City a new building just went up on Highway 99 near Albertson’s.

I drove over to Wheeler on Friday afternoon, had a great dinner at a new little restaurant that just opened a block from the lodge where I was staying, and spent the evening working at my laptop computer. On the way over I drove through acres… click here to continue June, 14th, 2009 |
