Today is the official start of Spring. The equinox occurred around 11 am UTC, which is 8 hours ahead of California time. So we were all tucked into our beds sound asleep when this natural event happened.
The days will start getting longer and warmer, and we’ll be able to spend much more time outdoors before the sun goes down.

My friend said that last month, he bought some Bank of America stocks for $20 and now it’s gone down to $14. There are so many federal bank takeovers and it is good to be careful about buying bank stocks. One of our friends work for the auto industry and also cautioned us about buying auto stocks. There are still a lot of good stocks out there and I’m thinking once I get paid, I’ll buy a few stocks. Hopefully, I’ll do well with those stocks in about six months

I was watching the news on television and they talked about medical errors and mistakes that were made at hospitals. There are various types of surgical mistkes from operatinon the wrog organto doing the wrong surgical procedure. Most cases led to serious injury and sometimes death. I am shocked that a lot of hospital in California are keeping these medical secrets and getting away with it.

The past several years have been really hard on California with the wildfires that burn thousands of acres before the firefighters can get them under control. Last year there were horrific fires in northern California as well as southern California. This year we have had a large number of fires, too, especially this past June.
There’s a fire just north of L.A. that is being fueled by heavy winds today. There are mandatory evacuations again, and hundreds of homes are at risk of being wiped out. There is even a chance that the rest of the city will have a problem with loss of electricity because of this fire.
We all need Mother Nature to give California a break.

I like the way most of the major papers have embraced the internet and make a version of their printed newspaper available online.
I have to say that my local paper’s website is not close to the same as what is available on the newsstands but it give a good snapshot of local and national happenings.
There are a few newspapers that do a spectacular job with their websites and I find myself checking them daily for a good overview of what is happening in the real world, each with their own particular attitude and view of what’s news.
