I first wrote about the theme of a You-OR-Me world verses a You-AND-Me world almost 20 years ago. But things have changed in recent years and not for the better. I think the theme is worth another go 'round today. Over the last few years, I've seen a You-OR-Me attitude grow within our country, an "US v THEM" attitude that divides us like never before, sometimes verbally, sometimes violently. Some people seem to be outright embracing and glorifying the ugly side of language and attitude and actio...

In most every school there is a mysterious room hidden from view from the students, a place of great and sometimes wild speculation. The faculty lounge. A place where most students never dare to enter or get invited in. In eighth grade, I took a course in Practical Business. I was plunged into the workings of the student store, learning how to deal with customers while gaining cash and change skills. The counting of money included feeding the large machine that separated all the coins at the...

One of the coolest, most interesting birds in the Tehachapi area is also one of the hardiest: the Greater Roadrunner (Geococcyx californianus).

Roadrunners are large birds, nearly two feet in length with long tails and long stout bills with a subtle hook at the end. Their overall plumage is a mix of black...
