This is the last week they are having it. It starts when the kids are out of school and runs to the end of July. That is, if they receive the funding to offer it.

Completely uncalled for and unprofessional if you ask me. Also, their website said they were "Classic Tuscany Italian", but in reality it looked like a raggedy firehouse on a Wednesday night. We waited forever for our main course and the meats were not cooked to our requests. Parking was terrible, we had to walk half a mile to the restaurant.

Just simple railroad mountain country people. That back in the day Great grandpa worked for the railroad all week and great grandmother was the singer for a band. In fact rumors go she would make more money in one weekend singing the blues away, then Great Grandpa working on the railroad all week long. Not much is around except the Caliente post office, the train that goes on at all hours of the night. Lots of cotton tails running wild with adorable cows all over running free and happy. At night if you are lucky bobcats will come out and skunks too. Lots of bats and many of the locals have goats and chickens. Oh yes, sure! Did I mention horses? Of course the cowboys/girls have horses. Be careful with rattlesnakes in fact that is what stopped me on my on my tracks looking for a 1860's lost abandon cemetery. That in the late 50's grate-grandpa best friend was berried. I want to say that right where grandmothers cabin is located. I found about 10 homes long ago empty. Those homes all have a story that grandmother can tell us as a story, of when she was a little girl. She remembers everyone's names and what became of them. Two of the homes were on one point where in fact aschool site aka Caliente Elementary but a dork set it on fire. In this little mountain ghost town you will find the best pies and cookies. One recipe that grate-grandmother acquired from one of the cook's back in the day "Tehachipi's prison cookies" those are by far the best cookies I have ever had. Only dirt roads and no street lights so naturally any wild animal is around the corner. Bears and mountain lions have been sighted. So if you decide to visit you are in gods good humor. No gas station no McDonald's no starbucks. The closest coffee house is in Keens the other small mountain town down the hill. Otherwise Tehachipi might be your saving grace. If you like alone time and you are wild at heart like I am. The nights you will blessed with the magic of the milky way. The back dirt road leads to Kern River and that is another favorite stop of mine. If you need to get away from the big city you might want explore taking a dirt road with me and I will show you around. Especially if you are into Rail road trains ghost lost forgotten mountain towns. Caliente is a sentimental family ghost town that has many stories of a lady name Susie that used play the organ and sing in a band. In fact she played and partied with Cesar Chaves! Oh yeah! Babe!

Established in the 1870s, Caliente was originally named Allens Camp for a cattle rancher and…read moresettler named Gabriel Allen. Later, the name Agua Caliente, coming from hot springs in the area, was proposed and may have been used. This name conflicted with the community of the same name in Sonoma County. With the railroad's arrival in 1875, the shortened name Caliente was adopted. Caliente prospered during Southern PacificRailroad's construction of Tehachapi Pass line. For a time, the Telegraph Stage Line and the Cerro Gordo Freighting Co. also ran through Caliente and its full-time population grew to 200. There were approximately 60 buildings, including 20 or more saloons. Today, Caliente has a population of about 1000. I'm not sure why you would visit. There isn't a town to speak of and just one place to grab a bite, but it's a very cool place that makes you think you're a million miles away from la. And if you like urban exploration, there are quite a few abandoned mills, farms and houses all basically along the one road (littered with cows...no really, you most likely WILL encounter MANY cows on and off the main road) that goes through the town.

It is time to stop being silent, and to speak out against inequality and discrimination…read more This review is for the Kern County Superior Court - Mojave Branch. If you enter this facility as a soon-to-be divorced father I've got some really bad news for you: You are about to experience an unimaginable level of injustice and bias, regardless of who you are as a person. Your distinguished career as a continuously employed hard-working individual does not matter, and your spotless record as a law-abiding citizen does not matter. Even if you don't drink alcohol, don't do illegal drugs, don't gamble, and you were never unfaithful to your soon-to-be ex-wife, none of this matters to this courthouse. Most importantly, it does not even matter how good of a father you are. The only thing that matters to this courthouse is that you are a man, and because of this you are highly unlikely to be granted sole custody, primary custody, or even equal custody of your own children. I was once naive, and I believed that the world was fair. Unfortunately, while here, I suddenly became aware of lawyers, mediators and even judges prepared to make decisions against you based on their antiquated belief that mothers are better parents than fathers. It is even more unimaginable to realize that most courthouses maintain this ridiculous belief, especially considering the progress toward equal rights this country has made over the last 70 years. Unfortunately, what most divorcing fathers will first experience will be initiated by the lawyers, most often with the mother's lawyer demanding sole or primary custody of the children. This initial legal bias is baffling, and most often leaves the father surprised that he must advocate for his own equal rights. Most importantly, regardless of what the lawyers bring before the court, the judge in a family law custody case should seek justice and equality, and should strive for what is in the best interest of the children. For my case, the judge in this courthouse did not. And unfortunately, I later discovered that this is typical for most family law judges in this country. So yes, I took the blue pill for most of my life, just believing everything that society told me about reality. Upon entering this courthouse, I still believed that my honorable, ethical and fatherly characteristics mattered. I was tragically wrong, and I was rudely awakened to the reality of the discrimination against fathers in our U.S. family law system (aka, being forced to "take the red pill"). Unlike this courthouse, I strongly believe that the presumption should be 50/50 (or equal) shared parenting in all cases, and this should be enforced unless unusual circumstances dictate otherwise. While here, with this strong belief, I also learned that it does not matter how much you "fight for your kids" as a father in this courthouse. Unfortunately, I spent hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars to prove I was a good father, fighting tirelessly in what I now realize was an unwinnable battle. But, why does a father have to prove he is a good parent at all? Shouldn't the burden of proof be reversed? Shouldn't we just presume a father is a good parent unless proven otherwise? Finally, let me emphasize this sad truth: I am not alone; My tragic circumstances are not unique. Millions of other fathers in this country have been unjustly treated, just like me. Sadly, there is an elusive corruption in this system, hidden from most folks unless they happen to be a father going through the process of a divorce. This family law system provides an alluring financial incentive for divorcing mothers to demand dominance over their children because this action almost always maximizes the financial gain of everyone within this corrupt family law system in the process. These actions are led by most courthouses in this country every day, year after year, just as it was at this specific courthouse for me. Nationwide, there are millions of victims here, and sadly my children are now among them. Unfortunately, my children will not be blessed with the advantage of having frequent and easy access to their loving father, for a role model, for a positive influence, for support, for guidance, for encouragement, and for many other beneficial qualities that most fathers provide. They were denied that right, and I was denied my right of spending equal quality time with my own children. Unfortunately, now my children will spend the vast majority of their time with one selfish parent that has made false allegations about my character, even at the expense of our own children's well-being, all while this courthouse turned a blind eye. Therefore, this courthouse is well-deserving of a 1-star rating for its injustice served, and for submitting to the family law corruption that dominates most of this country. Open your eyes. See the inequality. Take the red pill.
