Computers are tools. We don’t need to know very much about our computer to check our email, play a quick game of Solitaire, or order ourselves a little something.

Tehachapi’s Old Pioneer Cemetery, originally called the Shields Cemetery, was established in 1858 just a few years after early settlers came to the Tehachapi area. Men who were “shot in a gunfight” or “died of infected bowels” are buried there as well as many infants who perished under harsh conditions. Everyday people who were the back bone of a budding community that would become Tehachapi found a resting place on a barren acre, in what is now Golden Hills. The Tehachapi Heritage League will sponsor a Day of the Dead Festival on October 2...

For those of you who honor me by following these articles, some of these critters may sound familiar. Walter, the dromedary camel came to the ranch so full of parasites, he was literally dying....
Part 1: Sometimes Disappointment Turns into Delight It's hard to believe that the Friends of the Norbertine Canonesses could top last year's dinner/auction, but they did in spades. This was in large part due to the influence of prayer and the effect that the witness of deeply devout cloistered sisters and their confrere priests are beginning to have on certain individuals in of all places – Hollywood.
