Christians begin preparation for Easter
Despite society’s exuberance regarding Christmas, Easter is “the greatest and oldest feast of the Christian Church.” This ancient holiday commemorates the resurrection from the dead of Jesus Christ and is the linchpin of a whole series of Christian holy days.
Gearing up for a super fun weekend and a visit from the OSU rugby ladies
Can’t wait for Colin Kaepernick and the San Francisco 49ers to put a whuppin’ on Ray Lewis and the Baltimore Ravens in Sunday’s Super Bowl. Really sick of Ray Lewis fawning all over himself and drawing attention to himself with antics like prostrating himself on the ground in front of the TV cameras. His whole act smacks of demagoguery to the point that if the conversation turns to Ray-ray on the ray-radio or ray TV, I turn the station.

On the other side, I know that one beach after another is hidden at the base of the cliff beyond the few cars parked at a succession of unmarked access points.

Q: Our vet has always allowed us to buy medication for our pets online. But she keeps telling us that she feels “safer” if we get it from her. It costs a bit more to do this. Why would it be safer buying medications from our vet’s office?
Prescription to save an ailing California
Only a fool, or perhaps a politician or media pundit, would say California is not in trouble, despite some modest recent improvements in employment and a decline in migration out of the state.
