Clovis Fire Statistics

I gave a two-word political update the other day to the leadership team at Clovis Community Medical Center.

Sacramento -- "Disarray." DC -- "Uncertainty."

Every year, we go through this budget meltdown that is aorta of California politics. Call it "bad things happening to good people" or, for the cynical, "fat cats getting what they deserve."

It's how you drive the road that counts

After close to 33 years of heading down Herndon Avenue to the District Office early in the morning in order to beat the traffic (even though this route has grown from a two-lane country road to a three-lane expressway), my routine is about to undergo a huge change toward the end of June as my wife and I embark on a new phase of our lives.

$60 torsos and tasty tacos

For sale: half of a fake person. Seller: a fake store, a liquidator selling its spoils and that of bankrupt West Coast regional department store chain and onetime Fresno icon Gottschalks.

Browsing at mannequins, shelves and oddball clothing that could fit anorexic rhesus monkeys and the odd color-blind caribou, what a great way for my spouse and I to start our anniversary celebration.

Storefront possibilities

Bad economy means vacant storefronts, malls with little presence or personality.

Rather than dwelling on those dark thoughts, what could we make of this sadly suddenly open space?
