Explanations

I wanted to let you know, dear readers (sounds a bit goofy, doesn’t it), that I have been very busy with some personal issues, but hope to get back in the swing of writing soon. I have some events to catch up on (like the final Summer Concert) and other topics to work on.  Thank [...]

Now Rate This!

Just for fun, I have added the new WordPress rating widget to my blog.  Now you can, if you so choose, rate each of my posts.  Is it average? good? excellent? (I hope I don’t get anything lower than ‘average’).  You will be able to rate posts on a 1-5 star scale, so why not [...]

On Food Patrol – Cool Summer Treats

What could be better on a hot summer day than a nice cold frozen yogurt?  Over the next couple weeks I’m going to be posting a series of reviews on the four yogurt shops here in Santee: Penguin Yogurt Factory, DIY, Golden Spoon, and Go Get Yogurt.  The series will be topped off (wink, wink) [...]

Santee Church Links

The other day I set up a new set of links here on Scouting Santee for local churches.  Now here is where you out there can help me.  I linked to as many Santee area churches as I was able to find, but I know it is quite possible that I missed a few.  If [...]

WARNING – Car Burglaries

I just saw a news report about a series of smash-and-grab car burglaries that have happened recently in the East County.  So far they have only hit in the Lakeside area, but that isn’t too far away.  The suspect is driving a white extended cab pickup – I wasn’t able to tell what type from [...]
