Karen’s Commentary: I
had the pleasure of meeting two very nice gentlemen last week. They are Mitch
and Phil from the musical group Wayland. My son Jerry had met them when they
first visited the Morongo Basin and fell in love with our desert. They then
moved from L.A. to Joshua Tree and are having
a great time “seeing the sights” while settling in. During this time, Jerry
directed me to some youtube videos of them and I discovered just how talented
they are. I suspect that I am the world’s oldest living heavy metal/hard rock
fan, and their music is right up my alley! I got their CD “Rinse and Repeat” and
I love it – in fact, it is playing right now. I’m telling you, they’re good!
And here’s the surprise: In person,
they’re very sociable, mannerly, fun to talk to – the kind of people it is a
joy to meet. You’d never dream they are celebrities of any kind – no arrogance or
fancy airs whatsoever. My new favorite rock band!
We believe the MBTA Ready Ride is still operating in Wonder
Valley, transporting you to any business in Twentynine Palms, but not on the
Base. Pickup at your home is at 7 a.m. and drop off back at your home is at
noon on Tuesdays and Fridays. On the first Wednesday of each month pickup is at
the same time, but dropoff is at 1 p.m. Cost per ride for adults is $5; for
seniors (60+) or disabled adults it’s $2. Call 760-366-2395 for further
information or to schedule a ride.
Handy Hint: Plain
old baking soda has a lot of uses. Two of the lesser-known ones are: Brush into pet beds and mattresses to zap
odors, wait 15 minutes, then vacuum. And -- One pinch of baking soda will
mellow any harsh flavors, like in bitter tea, and you’ll never taste it.
Today’s Thought: A
reputation once broken may possibly be repaired, but the world will always keep
its eyes on the spot where the crack was.
Until next time . . . remember to take time to enjoy the
WONDERs all around us.
