Niner: Welcoming soldiers home

Niner is a 4-year-old German shepherd mix who was born Sept. 9, 2009. He is a very special dog to me. Niner is my best friend and a great companion. He is very friendly and loves other dogs and people. He is great with children and also a good watch dog. He goes almost everywhere with me and loves to ride in cars, boats, trains, planes and - most of all - his sidecar. He also loves the water and swimming.

Christians seek to live the Gospel at work

Our society is notably multi-ethnic, and along with that characteristic is the corollary of being very diverse in religion. Any sizeable workplace can have employees practicing a dozen different religions. This leads many Christians to downplay their own faith in an effort to avoid offending coworkers.

What Do You Think about When Running?

Recently, I started reading What I Talk about When I Talk about Running by Haruki Murakami, the Japanese novelist. The book is about how running informs Murakami's writing and how writing informs his running. If you are a runner or a writer, or both, you will enjoy the insights that he provides, which are part running thoughts, part writing thoughts, and part philosophical musings on both. But at one point near the beginning of the book, he mentions that people often ask him what he thinks about as he runs. He says, "I don't have a clue." Of course, he says, if it's cold outside, he is thinking about that, or if he's sad, he might think about sadness, or if he's happy, he might think about happiness. But, overall, he says, "I don't think much of anything worth mentioning."He just runs in a void; more precisely, he runs "to acquire a void." This sounds to me as if he uses running as a form of meditation, a moving meditation where he tries to stay in the moment and not really think at all.

Questions abound about new streetlamp light bulbs in town

I observe the City of Gilroy is switching streetlights from the kind with the orange glow to LEDs and have several questions. What is the replacement cost of each new light being installed? What is the monthly electrical operating cost of a new vs. the old style streetlight? Are the citizens going to see a cost savings in the first year of operating the lights? Will the city be able to recoup the cost of the old lights by selling them to another municipality and not just dumping them in the trash? How many hours of operation should a light provide before the bulb or LED will need to be replaced? Is PGE helping cover part of the cost of replacing? Thank you for investigating.
