Great turnout for Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero Day in downtown Gilroy on Saturday – quite a mix of music, cool old cars and booths featuring everything from Oakland Raiders gear to motorcycle parts to Christian reading materials. Through all the hubbub, Robert patiently signed autographs, stayed cheerful and chatted with fans as the long lines of people waited to meet and greet him. Good guy, hope there’s another marquee fight in his future. That would be good for “The Ghost” and good for Gilroy.

I now pronounce you REGISTERED

For brides- and grooms-to-be, signing up for wedding registries

Call it what you like, just don’t take my purse

After several years of living and breathing on this planet, I

Coldest Gilroy Fourth of July in my memory. Geez, it felt like early November with the wind whistling over the west mountains with chilly gusts rustling the trees. Meanwhile, most of the nation sweltered in 100-degreeish heat and awful humidity. The cool breeze didn’t stop the illegal fireworks dumbkopfs who were out in seemingly greater force than usual. Something unfortunate is going to happen – an apartment building on fire, or a child hit with an errant bottle rocket – and that will be the flashpoint argument for those who want to ban fireworks altogether in Gilroy. And, again, the minority will tyrannize the majority who enjoy the legal fireworks and the show at the high school.
