When we lived in Seattle, we tried to take an annual late winter trip to a sunny place, usually a week in Southern California. Sadly that tradition was broken when we returned to ole Virginny in the mid-aughts, and, although we went to SoCal for a wedding last winter, no such trip in 2024. I miss the desert!

Here in California we have a lot of environmental protections other states don’t. They really help the people and natural environment to be healthier and happier here. But there are a lot of places in the state where air and water pollution are huge problems. All over the state there are pockets with extremely bad air quality, giving hundreds asthma, making them sick more often, causing cancer rates to exceed the norm, and even shorten people’s lives! Same with water, there are many places in the state where the water that should be clean for people to drink and wildlife to use is so polluted it causes serious diseases and health problems. There are places like San Bernardino county where the tap water is of such poor quality people have to avoid drinking it whenever possible. That’s why there is a potential solution coming up in a proposed amendment to the California state constitution. It could make it so all these pollutants are made illegal, forcing those with power to be rid their harmful business practices and improve California. This amendment will literally save lives, but not enough Californians know about it. That’s why we want to spread the word as much as possible before November when the vote happens. We want as many people to be aware of it and to know why supporting it helps them and their communities.

The California Constitution declares various inalienable rights of the people. The right to enjoy and defend life and liberty, to acquire, possess, and protect property, and to pursue and obtain safety, happiness, and privacy. These are things that cannot be taken away from us. This measure would amend the California Constitution to declare that the people have the right to clean air and water and a healthy environment. The people shall have the right to clean air and water and a healthy environment. The people must have the right to a clean air and water and a healthy environment

Peg Legs Lost Gold

“Back in the 1960s. Desert Magazine published a letter by a person who claimed to have found Peg Legs Lost Gold or treasure in the Colorado Desert. Interesting, was the fact that the writer included some sample gold nuggets with his letters. The nuggets were coated with a black coating that seemed to match the original legend, Numerous letters were exchanged between the “finder”, the “doubters”,…
