The Santa Clarita Valley is a wonderful place to live. Unfortunately, the gas prices are high all over!

A little reverence for our heritage oaks, please

Local cat veterinarian a hero
Not very often are do we acknowledge heroes. Tracy McFarland is one in my book. You see, on July 15, my cat of 12 years passed away. His name was Murphy. This letter is not only to help in the healing process after losing Murphy, but to say thank you to this wonderful doctor and her staff at "The Cat Doctor."

Fuel efficiency
Yes, many cars in Europe of the same make and model have higher mpg ratings than their U.S. counterparts. The U.S. and Euro testing standards differ, as do the tuning specifications (such as fuel/air and ignition timing, computer mapping).
Pick a day and stop mail delivery
In my humble opinion, the only way the U.S. Postal Service will survive is to STOP service one day a week. The question we all should be asking is not whether to stop service one day a week, but which day of the week.

After a great many conversations and debates about gun control, there are still a great many members of Congress bowing to the NRA lobby because they want to protect their political futures more than they want to protect us against gun violence.
