It’s interesting how a slower economy effects everything.
Recycled paper is the biggest export by volume from the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. It is bought mainly by paper mills in China and made into packaging used to box up goods for exports. (Los Angeles Business Journal, November 10, 2008)

This was a press conference held in Santa Ana last Friday. Well said and well represented.

It makes me sad seeing what people has become, what our country has become. We don’t need to worry about Al Qaeda; we are our own worst enemies.
Did the main media cover this?
Every year we hear of fires in the Southern Cal areas due to the warm and gusty Santa Ana winds.
My dad’s house at the foothills of Pasadena have seen fires close by in the San Gabriel mountains, but never close enough to have to evacuate.
This year, it came close within about 5 miles of Walnut.
I showed Amy my yearbook dated 1972.
“Look at these 2 people. They were friends of mine.”
“They look like twins, except one has long hair and one has short hair.”
“Yeah. The one with short hair is a boy.”
“Aren’t they both boys?”
“No. I thought they both look like girls. But the one with short hair is a boy.”

Twenty-five years ago today, I said “I do.”
My image of marriage was a fairy tale picture of bliss. In fact I was right! But it took me 25 years to learn that marriage can be so happy – if you allow it to be.
You can focus on the disagreements, the irritating habits, the endless daily chores and stinky morning breath.
From Gary Bauer:
Perhaps the biggest disappointment at the ballot box last night was the defeat of every initiative related to the sanctity of life. Parental notification failed in California. Expanded human embryonic stem cell research was approved in Michigan. Euthanasia was legalized in Washington State. And efforts to expand legal protections to the unborn were defeated in Colorado and South Dakota.

A friend sent me this story:
Yesterday, on my way to lunch at Denny’s, I passed one of the homeless guys in that area, with a sign that read ‘Vote Obama, I need the money.’
Once in Denny’s my waiter had on a ‘Obama 08’ tee shirt.
