ARE YOU GETTING OLDER ?



The other day, when I was at Mc Donalds in Foster City, CA, I met a friend and he gave me a list of ways for me to find out if I was getting older.

NATURE AT WORK IN THE CALIFORNIA SIERRAS



When we heard that there were several feet of snow in the Sierras, we left Foster City, California, and drove for three hours to go cross-country skiing above Pinecrest, California.

When we were putting on our cross-country ski boots, it started to snow lightly: small flakes twirling around like they had no place to go. By the time we were ...

Snow should start falling in the Sierras which will freeze to form the California's snow pack. This is important ...

When I pulled into a gas station near Foster City and walked up to the cashier's window to pay for the gas, before I pumped it, there was a sign in the cashier's ...

STILL COLOR IN THE HILLS OF CALIFORNIA



When I was a summer sheriff deputy, looking for a lost hiker in the Stanislaus National Forest, I heard the click of someone putting a shell into a chamber of a weapon. I stopped short, looked at my partner, he pointed to the left--standing with a shotgun pointed at us was an old looking man: long hair brushed back into a ponytail; eyebrows, bushy as ...

WHAT YOUNG CHILDREN DO, CAN SURPRISE YOU!



A child's mind works in strange ways. We had this experience when we visited our three grandchildren, two three-year-olds, twins, and one six-year-old.

We left Foster City, California, around 12:40p.m. and arrived in Citrus Heights, California, about 3:30p.m.; there was little traffic. The children were waiting for us since my wife called them and told them we were coming. The children ...

Foster City, California, has one the best libraries in the San Francisco Bay Area. It is located on Hillsdale Blvd., which is the main thoroughfare through Foster City. Since I had some free time, I went browsing for interesting reading about Northern California and the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

I came across this bit of information that I thought was interesting about the Sierra Nevada ...
