Accident on Route 80 11/13
Anybody see how the accident happened Tuesday morning? Just past exit 19 vehicle flipped over on its roof, slammed into a tree. From the looks of the accident, I'd say no one made it. Anybody know anything?

California Wildfires
The largest & deadliest wildfire in CA history, an entire town burned to the ground (Paradise, CA, pop. 27,000), they don't know how many dead yet, but at least 50 confirmed and 100 or more suspected.

Rutger's Women's BB Coach 1,000th Win!
Congratulations to C. Vivian Stringer, Head Coach of the Rutger's Lady Scarlet Knights on her 1,000th win!

A Heartful Thanks to "Happy Tails Inn"

She had a fun filled time playing in their over an acre field. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was happy and... More
