When I was no more than 12, in 1940, I used to spend some time in the afternoons sitting on the front steps of our home on Curry and F streets. I would either have a book or perhaps just sit there petting the dog. Of course, my ulterior motive was to see if the 13-year-old boy I liked would be riding by on his bike. His happening by at that particular time was not accidental, for he would always "happen by" and we'd talk for an hour. Things were so simple in those days. He would park his bike...

Another building near and dear to my heart closed last week as the Oakland Athletics played their final game at the Oakland Coliseum. I am one that is all for nostalgia, but unlike most fans, I do not let that blind me to the reality of life, and the reality of the business that is Major League Baseball and professional sports in general. Since the late 1960s the Coliseum has been relatively untouched, except for the renovation in the mid 1990s that added "Mount Davis," the extra seating and...
The Apple Drop is a fun activity that takes place during the Tehachapi Apple Festival on Oct. 12-13, in Downtown Tehachapi.

It is quite a sight to see, and when the apples finish bouncing, the apples landing closest to the bullseye on the target win some wonderful prizes!

French composer Claude Debussy once said "There is nothing more musical than a sunset," and with that sentiment in mind, the Tehachapi Mountains enjoy the lingering notes, the pleasant melodies, of many beautiful sunsets. One requirement for a colorful sunset is some high clouds that catch the sun's rays as it lowers, and that is why mountains like ours are often conducive to great sunsets – mountains tend to have clouds. Even on mostly clear days, where the sky overhead is an infinite blue, som...
