There is so much water pooling that the local ducks have taken residency in the "lake".

This is "criminal" to see water being wasted and we had to share our disappointment! No one we spoke to seemed to share our concerns.

I'm so appreciative of Sheriff Chad Bianco, and that the Riverside County Sheriff's Department…read moreserves not only the unincorporated areas of Coachella Valley but provides police services to some of our cities by contract. Thank God for elected and independent sheriffs who understand that they are sworn, above all, to uphold the U.S. constitution - NOT unconstitutional state executive orders. If I want to enjoy a nice breakfast on a patio or get a haircut I don't have to travel too far outside of my city to find businesses willing to provide them. If our world does evolve, someday it will look back on these "stay at home orders" and other extreme restrictions with near disbelief. It will be common knowledge by then that those who succumbed to or suffered long-term harm from Covid-19 were people with pre-existing health problems (especially immune conditions) which should have still been as extremely rare - even in the senior population - as they used to be long ago. In a healthy society a bug like this would barely make a ripple. I'm glad that front-line law enforcement personnel get a lot of sun, because vitamin D has already been cited as a major preventative factor. It helps to counteract the high viral loads they're sometimes exposed to. But vitamin D is only one of them - we need the full spectrum of vitamins and minerals, they all work together. We need plenty of vegetables. People need natural, healthy diets. They need to stop the continual assault on their bodies with the plethora of toxic substances that's considered normal these days, including common over-the-counter and prescribed drugs. The range of noxious chemicals harmful to the immune system that are breathed in, ingested, and applied to the skin these days is appalling. The young, the healthy, and older folks who know how to take care of themselves ought to be free to go where they like. The aged, the unhealthy - from what I've experienced and seen, they either don't know how to or don't try to take good care of themselves, so their immune systems don't function as nature intended. THAT'S the real problem. We'd better fix it or every future pandemic will be another economic and sociopolitical nightmare. Thanks Sheriff Bianco for protecting us and our fundamental freedoms, like the right to make a living!

I had written it off a gone forever, but thanks to Detective Edney, was Recovered and Returned to me on December 9th, 2025.

We don't always appreciate the little things they do, but today I am very proud and happy they are here for the residents of Palm Springs.

The inspectors are a great resource, and even receptionist has a friendly face. Cathedral City seems to want a permit for everything, so I'm slowly learning things I have to get, like a permit to remove an old awning in the backyard. That said, don't take it out on the people working, because they seem to be amazing and, like I said, helpful. One hiccup was during the second round of corrections, when we were told we need a grading plan too. For a one bedroom and bathroom addition in our backyard. That added a month and $600 in city plan review fees. Too bad my architect didn't fix everything on the first round, we'd be building right now. Oh well, I think they all really try to help residents out and the entire staff has their heart in the right place. Don't forget your permit for a garage sale too.
