Merry Christmas To All

Hello to everyone! It's been a while since my last posting and it's been a while since I spoke about the Manteca Bulletin. What's going on?

Well, I sort of took a vacation and got out of Dodge (Manteca). Being single and during this time of year I went overseas for a stint visiting old friends and made a few new ones during the travel.

I also spend time in Texas and New Mexico where I have relatives and I also spend time down south near San Diego, again with family.

I'm back, but this time for a short while, I'm now headed for Lake Tahoe to spend time with some friends at a cabin on the lake, or near the lake. They say we can walk to it across the street, so I guess that means there are no lake front or beach front properties in Lake Tahoe, I don't know. I haven't been there in over 15 years and they say the entire place is very different now. I'll be sure to write about it and take some snaps, too.

The hard part is getting there. I hate the snow when traveling. I'm leaving this afternoon and I should have some clear road ahead of me. Oh, I'm taking the bus, but I'm still frightened somewhat because I've heard of bus accidents during this season. I guess I should stop acting like a baby and take it all in and enjoy the time away.

I have lots to talk about when I return especially about the article Dennis wrote about Proposition 8.

Enough of me, I'm off to Lake Tahoe for the rest of this year. I have my cold weather clothes with me packed and extra change just in case I need to buy some new ones, warm clothed items.

So long Manteca, I won't miss you, but I'll be back after the new year. In the meantime, every one of you have a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year. God bless you all.

Safe Surrender Laws

Since the Safe Surrender Laws went into affect, it has been a good thing for this State. Actually, it has been a good thing for the entire country now that all 50 States have put this law on the books.

The only terrible thing about it is, there is not enough funds to keep it moving at a pace that is needed for it to get the word out. These are laws that are not funded which means they are not mandated.

There are few sites out there that have actually put some effort into the search, but one site which has been up and running for a few years now is Safe Surrender Site. www.safesurrendersite.com.

I have to hand it to this site, they have provided a system that is National and this is what is needed. For years they have placed calls into several county governments and most have not responded positively. It's a shame, but now is the time to work together on this important project and for those out there using it to rate their news websites are just tearing it down and defeating the program.

Bottom line, there needs to be a National Safe Surrender website portal for all entities to be placed in one location for a quick and easy search.

Translation: What is wrong with the Sun Post?

Hey, it's been a while, I've been busy and a bit tired, but I have to say that last weeks Sun Post was a very disappointing release. What in God's name have you done Mr. Perry? Are you FRICKEN stupid? I'm not going to say anything about CC, she's just stupid.

I mean, on a day we all celebrate to honor our men and women in uniform, you get the entire images and pictures back asswards. You idiots! Someone should fire the one responsible including the owners need to give up a months pay and donate it to some charity...preferably one not in Manteca belonging to any of the other groupie hand-outs club.

One good thing about it, I'm happy to see someone still writing about the money in Steve DeBrum and Jack Snyder's campaign. I'm sure we'll find out. I'll be sure to post it here. I think we're going to find a lie soon enough.

Oh, and Ben Cantu is running again for 2010. Well, good luck there ole Ben. I personally don't think you'll make it, but it's good to see some local civics in action.
