TVAA Gallery n' Gifts welcomes Susan Neves as our March Guest Artist. "You have a good eye!" is an expression Susan Neves often hears from people viewing her photography. Susan is passionate about defining that statement each time she picks up her camera to capture a fleeting moment with just the right light and a balanced composition. She believes it is her ability to look closely at life's landscapes and see that which is often overlooked by others. Her photography prints are the end result...

A very obnoxious weed with a pretty name: Yellow Starthistle (YST). This scourge on the land of the western U.S. was discovered in the Tehachapi area and BVS in the early 1990s by Chuck McCollough (founder of Triassic Legacy Winery). In Northern California, yellow starthistle is out of control, wasting over 15 million acres of range and farm land. We do not want it to get any more out of control here. This very invasive weed is unpleasant, as it has sharp needles around each flower, which...
A very tall Walmart employee approached me at the self-checkout and said, “Has anyone ever walked up to you and discussed their religion with you?” “You mean, they want you to experience their religion – like, get saved – or their spirituality?” I asked. “Both, I guess. They just start sharing about it with me.” “I guess that’s nice.” “But why me? I don’t get it.” “Well, you seem very open. Perhaps you’re a ‘clearing’ for that kind of thing,” I replied, thinking the energy she puts out must...
As I mentioned before, and as you probably know from countless mentions on television and social media, the month of June is Pride Month. It's a month long focus on LGBTQ+ pride and history, but most of the big celebrations are traditionally held on the last Sunday of the month, to commemorate the Stonewall Uprising in 1969. A little history: In the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, police raided the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar on Christopher Street in New York City, as they had done countless...

I miss driving but being a passenger has its perks, also. For myself, on recent trips, I could really examine the panorama. Even leaving Tehachapi, I notice a lot of things that have changed or disappeared completely. At any rate, it certainly helps awaken old memories. As one leaves the Tehachapi Mountains and gazes out on the Mojave Desert looking south, I see sights that are not new but still changed, forever. One change, sort of heartbreaking, is the loss of Mount Soledad to the strip...

Using a jump box is safe in most circumstances, although it is possible to damage both your car and yourself. If you connect everything the right way and take all the necessary precautions, there is little to worry about. Two main dangers commonly associated with jump-starting a car are damaging delicate components in the electrical system and blowing up the battery. These situations can result from crossing the positive and negative cables or shorting them out by touching the positive and...

Over the past month or so, there has been a plethora of people on foot in the downtown area of Tehachapi. These folks with tanned, strong legs, often wearing backpacks that seem to weigh more than they do, are Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) hikers. They are in town to rest, refuel and recharge before getting back on the trail. In hiker lingo these are called "zero" days: a day where they are not gaining any mileage to the end the trail which is still over 2,000 miles away at the Canadian border. Not...
