The Korn concert tickets said it started at 5 but it actually started at 4. I bought a $58 ticket to see Trivium and to my surprise I walked in at 5:10 to find out they just finished. I asked for a refund because I only wanted to see that band and they said to take it up with Krab radio. BS! If...

In case if you haven't noticed it, gas prices have actually been going down, despite the upcoming Labor Day holiday. They're down about $0.50 from a couple of months ago. Still high though at $2.50 to $2.90 a gallon. Now if only it would come down to about $1.80.

When I came to Bakersfield almost a year and a half ago, I didn't have any prescriptions or things that were seriously wrong with me (though that's probably up for debate).

Everyone seems to want to know where the father is in the picture of all this that is happening.
The father was at work when everything happened. He had no say on what happened to his own child. She did all of this while he was working.

Too sick for the homeless shelters.
Not sick enough for the hospitals.
Too poor or too young for other rehab and skilled nursing programs.

I love this photo that Californian photographer Casey Christie took one afternoon last week.
The sky was definitely eerie last weekend, to say the least. A friend joked that it was signally the Apocalypse. And I know it wasn't healthy to be breathing in all that ash.
Locusts anyone?

I've lived in a lot of places in California: San Diego, Sacramento, Redding, San Ramon and Berkeley. Each of those towns are more beautiful than Bakersfield, I will say. Blue sky, lots of trees, and lots of nature all around.
But even though Bakersfield could use a makeover, there are reasons...

Looking for a place to train Andy. Ot could be a swimming pool. It needs a ledge for him to see as he jumps, not a sloping bank. If you know of a place please let me know about it. Need a place to get him ready for the upcoming World Championships in AZ.
