For heaven’s sake, there are television shows dedicated to entertaining us by showcasing hoarders...how sad is that! That’s not the only industry related to our overwhelming need for stuff.

Tehachapi was once a vast, spacious valley with tall waving grasses, ample wild game and running streams. Magnificent oaks grew in profusion along with pine and fir.

Although the vast Mojave Desert was located just over the Tehachapi Range, it didn't seem to intrude upon the ideal...

The Blue Angels performed at Lancaster's Fox Field at the Los Angeles County Air Show on Mar. 21-22. I was not able to attend, but our...
