This one's good, old-fashioned fun! The loose storyline is that five nuns from the Little Sisters...
Today we will report a net reduction of 185 cases on the Public Health COVID-19 Dashboard. This negative number is a result of a data batch update run by the state to de-duplicate COVID-19 case records between April 28, 2020 and September 17, 2021.

It's happening, only at Tehachapi Natural Market: A couple of years ago, I went into the store requesting a "super-healthy" smoothie at their juice bar. I was expecting a bitter health-conscious drink that would haunt me all afternoon. Store owner Teresa Dunlop worked up some of her favorite ingredients into a deeply purple concoction, which she referred to as "The Boss Lady." To my surprise, this smoothie had a fantastic flavor!
