I am a starving writer living in the backwater of California, in a place known mostly for Buck Owens and Valley Fever called Bakersfield. This site is my release. A place for me to talk about things that annoy, please, or excite me.

Where does it End?

by

OK… To start this off, I am Pro-Immigration… LEGAL Immigration. I am listening to the debates over the various proposals regarding the immigration laws, and I am just in awe. In awe of two things… The stupidity of the people arguing against it and in awe of the lack of backbone that the government is … Read more

Loss of a Legend

Say what you want about country and western music, and the “Bakersfield Sound” in general, but there is no denying that Buck Owens was an icon of both. As most of you now know, unless you have been living in a cave (hello there Osama!) Buck Owens, the patriarchal figurehead of the Bakersfield Sound, permanently … Read more

In-N-Out Burgers

Hamburgers and Cheeseburgers, fries and drinks. That’s all… Anyone that is familiar with the In-N-Out burger chain, will sympathize with me on this. This is a company that is one of those companies that has not bent itself over to add new things to the menu and try to cater to all tastes and all … Read more

Cheaters!

What was I thinking? :

by

What WAS I thinking? Disneyland during the holidays is an exercise in self abuse, that is all there is to it. Living in Bakersfield, Ca. One must travel some distance to the Magic Kingdom… about 2 hours and change, to be approximate. And once you arrive, you are anything but enchanted. When I was young, … Read more

…When I’m Sixty-Four.

by

I watched something today that was pleasant to see. While sitting and eating a quick lunch at a McDonald’s in Monterey, Ca. I watched an older couple enter the restaurant.
