It was an impressive revelation upon moving to Red Bluff in 1988, when Barbara informed me of a massive ongoing water storage project near Maxwell, called the Sites Reservoir. It had everything going for it—bare land, sufficient drainage, a capacity to hold enough water to provide for the needs of a huge portion of Southern […]
I write with a very heavy heart on Thursday, September 11. You'll read this on Tuesday, the 16th after college football fun, snacks and beverages. However, what last Wednesday and Thursday represented will long be remembered for terrorist violence on a small and massive scale. The immediate cause for sadness and, yes, anger was the […]
See below for said clarity vs. confusion. As we wind up our summer tour de force, having moved no less than 7 times to campgrounds and RV parks, and having arranged for a slide-out repair in a campground with us inside, and having maintained our initial weights over three+ months—most importantly, we have just as […]

Start with the Environmental Impact Statements (EIS) required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for […]
The “plight,” or rather the controversial presence, of wolves in these northern regions showed up in a recent Daily News article. No, it's not boorish, construction site men whistling at women; we have little construction beyond the new county jail. Male workers are too busy to be paying attention to pedestrians, who are more likely […]
Thanksgiving has become our favorite holiday, ahead of Christmas, New Year's, and Halloween. The “reason for the season” counts, but there are more practical aspects. In reverse order, New Year's hasn't, for decades, been anything other than a grand celebration of indulgence and excessive, nearly-mindless “whoopee-ism.” What is it beyond the turning of a calendar […]
Thanks for much, just not for CA I truly hope that this column finds readers' lives better off for having shared camaraderie and joyful
And then there was the time… As the once unimaginable birthday number 75 approaches in 11 days, nearly 38 of those years have been spent in
