Call it a cool weather comfort food, but it seems like many of us...

Going to college sounds easy, but let’s face it. College and high school are not the same. While first time freshmen start at a high peak number since graduating, the number can slowly go down over time. When students hear colleges offer support programs on campus, they believe that they will receive help to graduate from college. There are many students in DSPS (Disabled Student Program and Services), EOPS (Extended Opportunities Programs and Services) and similar college programs combined, but meeting the demand of those s...
I would like to thank my new neighbor (Allie or Ally). I'm new to the area (on Cathy Dr.) and my dog Max-A-Million got bored with the party we were having (outdoor fire pit, etc.).

What a great lady this is. I thank you a million and Max-A-Million thanks you. Also, I would like to thank Matt R. for letting everyone know there's a new clown in...
