The final section of the Southern Pacific's coastal railway - Santa Barbara to San Luis Obispo - was finally completed in March, 1901.

The Potter stood six-a...

Attorneys pay him to update them on foreclosures and how new case law is changing the outcome for many. Mario became obsessive on the subject and devoured law books when he realized how people were being harmed. Along with telling me about his work for people facing foreclosure Marion also mentioned to me in an off-handed way, he makes hats. By James Moore and Wayne Slater, publ...

Observations from Melinda's World. The Tom and Kevin Show. Thursday, April 23, 2015. No 145 – April 23, 2015 – Snow Flakes, Heart Aches and Prayer. It's not that there were a lot of snow flakes today – it was having any of them still with us when Mother's Day is right around the corner and stories are starting to receive 4. For all of us life is uncertain. Good and bad, things happen. That is one of the reasons I signed up to pray. There was a time when requests came in over the telephone, now we receive...

No 138 – February 26, 2015 – A Lenten Visit to the Ninth Commandment. 8220; Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.”. So, why do people of all ages accept malicious lies as the truth? There are lots of motives. Participants can experience a sense of false righteousness. It is easy and satisfying to demean someone made vulnerable. All too few pause to question the stories told them. As we have seen with ...

Observations from Melinda's World. The Tom and Kevin Show. Thursday, January 22, 2015. No 133 – January 22, 2015 – Corporations make out like bandits. What if Koch Industries offered burial insurance as a benefit for temporary employees doing clean up on toxic spills, a common need in the petroleum industry? You might think, well at least they are being given something! How much is a year of your life worth? Insuring the lives of low level employees by corporations is carried out routinely today. Pre...

Observations from Melinda's World. The Tom and Kevin Show. Friday, October 31, 2014. No 121 – October 30, 2014 – The Peaceful Revolution of Anguilla. The people of Anguilla voted for independence, 1,813 to 5, in 1969. Tired of being ignored by St. Kitts, the seat of government for Britain, as the West Indies Associated States, they badly needed a water pump. Having no government they were at a loss for how to provide this. First, they declared independence in 1967. No one seemed to notice. Walking Jeremi...
