How is it that my hearing goes kaput when I am taking an American Sign Language class? Granted, I can still hear, but it is probably at about 75% of what I normally could hear at. It is annoying listening to people on the phone and it is like they are talking through a wet [...]

Dear Parent: Poway Unified Budget Alert

There literally is only so much one can do before really getting pissed off at how this country works. We can spend billions a month over in foreign countries, to help make their lives better under the guise of national security.

It was told to me a few weeks ago that on April 1, at 11am in San Pedro that my Aunt Marie’s ashes would be spread out at sea. My knowledge of the San Pedro area was a bit off as I thought initially that it was in Orange County, which is only about an [...]
