I have always been interested in cars. All kinds of cars. When I was young, I would entertain myself by trying to identify automobiles as they would pass by when I was with my parents on a family trip. For example, I would say, "'41 Oldsmobile sedan." This chatter was irritating to Mom and Dad, so I was encouraged to keep this little game to myself, and it wasn't easy. From 1941 to 1946 the automobile industry in the U.S. was totally involved in the manufacturing of jeeps, tan...

Or, maybe, because the days have been hot, you want to spend time outdoors, not cooped up in a kitchen? These two salad recipes are the answers to the above questions. They are quick, simple and don’t require a lot of ingredients. Simple is the operative word. One of the reasons I would rather eat a salad at a restaurant is because it... Full story

I recently took my vehicle to an auto repair establishment here in Fallbrook, and was told I needed a new engine for $5,600. I decided to get a second opinion. A friend told me to take it to Pro-Tire here in Fallbrook and I was surprised when I was told I did not need a new engine but other repairs. Due to the honesty of the Pro-Tire mechanics, they saved me over $4,000. I would highly recommend Pro-Tire; they even showed me the old parts that needed to be replaced. Thank you so much Pro-Tire for your honesty and courtesy. I...

My rental house was vacant from Nov. 15, 2015 to Dec. 31, 2015. The water bill from Fallbrook Public Utility District for Nov. 13, 2015 to Dec. 1, 2015 was $72.17 with no usage of water or sewer. The bill from Dec. 1, 2015 to Jan. 4, 2016 was $131.91 - again - no usage of water or sewer. The amount of charges for no usage is outrageous. There must be a more equitable method to charge for vacant property. Elizabeth Gilby... Full story
