27 Ford vehicles showed-up in the parking lot where I work over the last week. All are new fleet vehicles with spot lights on driver and passenger sides and generic paint jobs. Clearly someone is about to upgrade vehicles for use in law enforcement. It’s just strange what kind of things folks leave in the…

Review: Palermo Restaurant
Palermo has been around for forever in my hometown. I never think about it when it comes to Italian food, even though I have been there 3 times prior. It is a family-owned restaurant that clams to make Italian food from scratch. Let’s get to the review! Blogger Note: on this trip we were in…

I told my girl that I wanted a burger and a beer. I’m not much of a drinker but it just sounded good. We hopped in the car and drove for about 20 minutes to somewhere I’d never been before. We parked next to a McDonald’s—not a good omen—and then went for a walk. We…

I’m about ten days into this trip. Here are a few observations thus far. Getting a visa extension to stay here was easy. The hardest part was the demand that payment be made in cash. The cost was just north of 4,000 pesos ($66). I needed to complete a form, pay a fee, and then…

The minimum wage for fast food workers in California will increase on April 1st, 2024. Since most of the blog staff live out here, we witnessed the masses cheering this revelation on.

68 billion, yes with a “b” that is California’s projected budget shortfall for next fiscal year. That is a big problem for our governor. To give you an idea of just how bad it is, our entire rainy-day fund will only cover about 2/3 of the shortfall. So draconian cuts will be needed/required. Unlike the…

It’s easy to say, harder for the Democrats to do. Honestly, the thing I remember most about Trump is not a slogan, a hat, or clichés. He made a big deal out of being treated fairly. He demanded it. He skipped a debate when first running because he said he wasn’t being treated fairly. He…

Series of quick blogs coming, likely will not be able to be posted in time, due to Blog Father’s well-deserved vacation. So yesterday the State of Colorado’s Supreme Court ruled 4-3 that Donald Trump will not appear on the 2024 ballot for President in Colorado. This is a wild case of judicial misuse. Keep in…

Of all the things to blog about in the days leading to Christmas, I am choosing to vent about electric charging stations. No, I’m not crazy enough to buy an electric car but we did end-up with a hybrid Jeep. It gets great mileage but works differently than my wife’s old Ford. This vehicle has…

No surprise with this news. We knew that Israel planned to force Hamas to take some sort of action at least five years prior to this attack. The expansion of Jewish settlements and other efforts to expand the Jewish State at the expense of the Palestinian communities in Gaza and the West Bank was intended…
