Best Friends by Malcolm Riordan, DVM

Beyond the Badge by Richard Hannibal

Recently, an old partner of mine sent me a centennial remembrance book from the Los Angeles County police agency where I spent 25 years of my life. It was a "magical book" that allowed me to travel in time from 1911 to 2011. I will treasure this book for the rest of my life. Read More

Coastland Contemplations by Michele Oksen

Ward, ninety-seven years old, had lived without help up until he slipped and fell. Over the years he had continued to pen poetry for his beloved wife, Clara, who had passed twenty years previously. His children had unofficially diagnosed him with a degree of dementia shortly after her death, but Ward had refused to leave his home for various reasons, the last being the placement of his faithful hound. "Take me to see where he's going, " Ward had insisted. Read More

Dear Abe by George Zidbeck

I'm not into any formal, organized religion. Live and let live you might say. But, I've got a co-worker who, during our lunch breaks, often behaves like a preacher and all the time tells us about Jesus, heaven and hell, and how angels and cherubs have wings. Do they? And does it matter?. . . Read More

Double Vision by Shana Ogren

Walking into the bank the other day, I greeted the woman working there and asked how her day was going.  "New paperwork," she mused.

The Human Condition by John Bullaro

In a world so rife with turmoil, terrorists, and corruption, one has to ask what is happening in our Capitol, Washington, D.C.  The Republicans won seats in Congress in 2009 election. The winners are narrow-minded puppets who dance on the ends of strings pulled by right extremists who are usually wrong for the country. Read More

One Cool Earth by Greg Ellis

Do you love farmer's markets but have a hard time getting to them on a regular basis?  What if there were a store that carried all the same seasonal, fresh, local products every day, all year round?  Great news for all those who live in the North County who are trying to access this abundance — the Paso Robles Food Cooperative is on its way!

A Roe Adventure by Roe Yeager

Walking along the many paths, streets and walkways of Morro Bay are many expressions of natures gifts to us. Some, such as Morro Rock itself, are simply there to be in awe of when viewed. Others are created by these wonderful people called artists who simply need to express their talents. They are able to take natural things and place them or arrange them or utilize them in such ways that enhance their inherent beauty. Read More

Surfing Through Life by Paul & Katie Finley

I am most definitely lacking in many areas of my life. I would be the first to admit that, but I can honestly say that I try my best to think outside the box and to be creative in my approach to art and living. Read More
