Kern County and Beyond

December 9, 2008

I exit I-5 and pass the dairies of Kern County. Ahead lie the Tehachapi Mountains and the world’s largest wind-mill generation area. Beyond is the Mojave-the lonely high desert where Chuck Yeager first broke the speed of sound. The rails then come together at Barstow; ah, my vacation.

Sacramento’s Tower Theater Sparkles

August 3, 2008

All the bulbs burn bright tonight. The marquee bids to the passers by, take a break from reality for a few hours. Have a bucket of popcorn and a cold Coca-Cola. Crawl into the world of cinema.
