Dea Liza Minelli

Dear Liza Minelli: Sorry we missed you last night at the Hollywood Bowl but we had to evacuate our home due to the Station Fire in the Angeles Nat’l Forest. You must have smelled the smoke. I hope it didn’t affect your voice! What a difference a day makes, huh?

At this time, Invest-94 is located 850 miles east of the Windward Islands.  It loosely looks like a tropical storm with the stirrings of potential rain bands moving around a central low pressur

America’s Unsustainable Transportation Problems

It seems that the problem isn’t that the roads are too small, global warming, pollution, or that we have a 460 billion dollar oil import deficit. The problem is the car! The car has led us down the primrose path of urban sprawl; in some cases urban settings have been encroaching into habitats, combined with obsessive behavior that often ends in sorrow and heart break. Electric cars aren’t going to fix that. I have a challenge; my fiancé doesn’t drive a car. She needs to go to school and her
