Having just received the newsletter from the Fallbrook Land Conservancy, I feel compelled to express my personal gratitude for the hard work and financial support that so many volunteers have invested in trying to keep Fallbrook beautiful and pristine. I am privileged to go walk in the Los Jilgueros preserve from time to time, when I can find a “hiking buddy” to go with me. The preserve is absolutely beautiful; such a wonderful place to appreciate nature. However, I am chagrined to find that so many pet owners do not pic...

Remember wanting to purchase one of those odd “whatchamacallits” as seen on TV? What about a knife that cuts through anything, a machine that air fries food without fat, a toothpaste that whitens teeth in three days? Suppose I offered to “sell” you my very special “whatchamacallit,” and all you had to do was show me how you were going to use it, where you were going to store it and what you were going to do with it once you got tired of it, before I would agree to “sell” it t...

A near-total abortion ban had existed in Ireland since Oct. 7, 1983, when Amendment 8 was added to their Constitution.

As I listen to the talking heads on television I wonder if any of them have ever been in business and tried to do business with other countries or compete with other countries. At least two of the companies I worked with had to compete with international companies. We were in high-tech and had a great deal of money invested in development of product. In each case our primary international competitor was subsidized by its government, giving them a huge advantage in development cost and ongoing maintenance cost. The European... Full story
