My friends and I celebrated our independence last year on The Strand in Hermosa Beach. The Strand is the sidewalk area just behind the beach but in front of the houses. The Strand carries weight.

I hope that the answer is yes.
As I watched and reacted to the final Democratic primaries, I was filled with the hope of a new time ahead, a new destination for our country. If Barack Obama’s speech was filled with electricity, John McCain’s speech was fossil-fueled. There is no way Barack could lose this election.
Unless…unless there are too many people like Jim: Continue Reading »
