Short Post

Well this is a pretty short post. Been trying to keep up on the Redlands public safety issues. I lived in the city, and I like to make sure my family is going to be safe. Furlough days is the fastest way for cities to cut payroll. We in S.B. are taking a 10% pay cut using furlough days. One full 8 hour day per pay period. I know that this is going to put stress on a lot of people, but it's better than not having a job at all.

Like I said this is going to be a short post. Tomorrow after I dig through my news article stacks and will definitely have more to talk about.

Opening Thoughts

Most people want to start their blog off on a good, happy note. I could do that. But the would not be fair. I live in a city where it allows a rave that is promoted to attendees 13 and up. This singularly disgusts me. I know for a fact that the city council had to sign off on this. I personally do not know anyone on the council. But, they are going to know my name and my email address. When I read this article I didn't know who to get mad at first. The city for letting this go on, or the parents of these two girls for not checking it out for themselves. The city says that they are going to bare underage children from getting into these parties. I honestly don't see any way to guarantee that other than not allowing these raves in our city.

Ok now that's off my chest, I guess I should tell you a little about myself. I'm a 27 year old man born and raised in the Inland Empire. I am married to a wonderful woman that has put up with me for almost 8 years, and we have a little girl on the way. I am a mechanic for a local sity fire department, I love my job. I attend and volunteer at the greatest church ever, The Rock Church and World Outreach Center.

So, this blog is mostly my way of venting. I will be writing about local issues, politcal and not so political. And on especially good days, just a really long venting rant! if you have anything you would like to add please let me know.
