Typically, I will only go to political events that feature candidates that I am inclined to support. I don’t recall ever driving two hours just to go see someone that I totally disagree with; let alone get there so early that I’m on the front row. But this doesn’t seem to be a barrier to…

Misc Comments on My Trip Thus Far
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…

A convicted rapist sentenced to three life terms plus 51 years in prison has been arrested in Sacramento County for a parole violation, four years after his release. The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office said 47-year-old Lloyd Edwards was detained Thursday during a parole compliance check by the office’s Sexual Assault Felony Enforcement Task Force Team.…

Folks, I just can’t catch a break. I was minding my own business, as best I can at the church Bible study last night and presto, yet another time when we as modern Christians can’t let the Bible define terms but have to project stuff into the text that it plainly never says. The study…

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.

These family members are also involved in film and talked him into being in the movie. Cage takes many roles that would be risky…

Today in my email, I received a copy of the Sutter-Yuba Republican Assembly minutes for their June 8th meeting. Not much of a surprise, The Just Us Brothers —George and Aaron Park—were the guest speakers at that evening’s festivities. Prior to their May 30th ouster, the Just Us Brothers had already purged all references to…

People think I spend all my time documenting the exploits of the Just Us Brothers which just ain’t so. I spend most of my day with computers but mostly I’d rather be building them. Recently I had to make a new computer for my daughter. She is an aspiring teacher about to enter her first…

Two rumors are circulating about the delay in announcing the results of the online vote conducted by the CRA Board to create a legal defense dream team. First, they stopped counting votes because the vote was so overwhelming that the obscure Bylaw provision for the “mercy rule” was invoked by President Hudson. Second, the delay…

Yesterday, Aaron Park fired off another missive about the CRA online vote to create a Special Litigation Committee. In his post, Park asked a few questions to which he probably doesn’t expect an answer; however, since I find myself as the voice of the “loyal opposition” I thought I would briefly chime in. Is this…
