I was reading a portion of an old news article the other day that sounded like an advertisement for a great place to go. A good vacation spot or perhaps a girls' college with great dorms. "Each cottage had a large living room with a fireplace and comfortable chairs where occupants could visit, read, play games and listen to the radio." A room called The Globe was for movies, parties and dancing. Further on it spoke of tennis and volleyball courts and a baseball diamond. Finally there was a picni...
Due to a scheduling conflict, the Jan. 16 City Council Meeting took place in the Community Room of the Tehachapi Police Department.

Striping will get started once the crew is trained and the weather permits. Some streets may wait until...

Sixteen years ago at Mojave Airport we saw not only a Hawker Hunter, but a Canadair T-33 and a rare and beautiful Hawker Sea Fury do several passes down the runway. A big round Bristol Centaurus engine on the Sea Fury, turning a five bladed propeller made a beautiful noise! Wonderful memories swirled in my head as the Sea Fury flew over. It brought back all...

I have found both professions to be equally challenging and rewarding experiences. Advertising placed time constraints and special requirements to fulfill the assignments, while fine art landscapes required nature's cooperation and travelling long distances to...

It's unusual when extremely technical problems make the news, but by now you've probably heard about Meltdown and Spectre. Multiple teams of independent researchers have discovered (and named!) these design flaws in computer processors. Meltdown and Spectre are in the news because these flaws result in vulnerabilities in every computer chip made in the last twenty years. The Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems running on desktops, laptops, tablets, and phones are all at risk from Meltdown...
