I really enjoy the lower Colorado River’s recreational opportunities. Recently on one hot Saturday, my grandson Alex and I decided we had an extra 90 minutes and wanted to go play in the river. While Gateway Park is fun place to spend some time, we were looking for something a bit more adventuresome. So we decided to float the river.

Thursday, September 6th, 2007Community Apathy in Yuma
Sunday, August 26th, 2007I have seen a lot of comments recently bemoaning the lack of community involvement in local politics. In fact, it seems that only a few regularly participate in or comment on local affairs. I sometimes wonder if this serves as tacit approval for the status quo. Another thought is that the local citizenry feel that their input will not be considered or�valued in the political process.
Chinese Poison Americans
Saturday, August 4th, 2007Recently, I find myself seeking out products in my household that have been recalled.

Now we hear that many Mattel products manufactured in China are being recalled to avoid poisoning children.

Where can a single gal go dancing in Yuma?
Sunday, June 17th, 2007I was recently asked “Where can a single gal go dancing in Yuma?” As a married man for the last 25 years, I am certainly unqualified to answer this question. I thought that perhaps a Google search would bring up some suggestions, but other than local dance studios and strip clubs, I came up empty. I suspect that the questioner already knows how to dance and probably is not interested in performing lap dances.
