what you worry. just work harder, tell your kids to work harder and have them tell their kids to do the same over and over again. a generation of slaves made in America

Just got a letter from the Rosamond Community Services District regarding coliform in the water. According to this video from Kathy Spoor (the president of the Rosamond CSD) they now want to add chloromines to the water. Goodie.

Isn't it great that Rosamond's schools are the worst in all of the Antelope Valley, but we can afford a ridiculous light up billboard saying "Welcome to Rosamond"!?

The sign is only visable if you are coming from Mojave into Rosamond on the 14 freeway and easily rivals the AV Fair sign as far as how bright it is. 

On my way out to Las Vegas a month ago, I managed to get lost way out on the very Easternmost edge of Palmdale (I blame my GPS for telling me there were roads in places that weren't actually there) and in my effort to make my way back to a paved road I was absolutely sickened by the amount of garbage that is just dumped in the desert. Among the things I saw were, couches, roofing shingles and tar, several broken porcelin bathroom fixtures, kids toys, a pile of car batteries and perhaps the most shocking was a rotting horse carcass!

I called the city dump line and because I didn't quite know exactly where I was at the time, no one was able to assist. (My fault for not making note of the roads on the GPS) I assume the people that answer that dump line are overwhelmed with all of the dump sites around the Antelope Valley.  Since then, I have become more aware of the garbage I see all over this valley and it's just sickening. 

So here we are having a water crisis and each day when I come home from work I drive past the motorcross facility at the Antelope Valley Fairgrounds and see them hosing down the dirt out there. I know that they need to do this to keep the dust down, but doesn't this seem like a waste of water?!

Here I have gone to extremes in my own home to keep myself and my kids from using too much water and it really pisses me off to see such a blatent waste of water. 

Have you seen these things? You rent a DVD for $1 for the day from a completely computerized machine found at the front of the grocery store. Pretty nifty, right? WRONG!

I admittedly used the red box machine a few times at my local Albertson's when it was brand new and thought it was swell.  Now that the machine has gotten a little more popular there is a line most times which blocks the entrance/exit. People are rude and decide to browse the full selection, read all the descriptions and talk on the cell phone while 5 people are waiting in line behind them.
