Hang Ten! This illustration depicts a young lady dress in a red bathing suit standing with her arms extended riding the wave on the surf board. This illustration has bright red with yellow outline bold letters that spell Hawaii and Hang ten.


Civil servants, armed forces and paramilitary personnel will get to rejoice this Independence Day with the government all set to approve the Sixth Pay Commission report in its Cabinet meeting on Thursday.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Wednesday chaired a meeting attended by External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee, Defence Minister A K Antony and Finance Minister P Chidambaram and discussed the pay commission report and the recommendations of the empowered committee of secretaries that went into the anomalies.
"The Cabinet is likely to take up the Sixth Pay Panel report for approval on Thursday and the matter was discussed at a meeting chaired by the PM today," official sources said.
Though the sources refused to share the details of the meeting or the amendment to the pay panel report submitted by its chairperson Justice Sri Krishna earlier this year, the increase over the commission's recommendations are likely to be the tune of 1.83 times of the net pay for the armed forces personnel and a substantial raise for civil servants too.
The Pay Commission had originally recommended that pay for the armed forces be hiked by 1.74 times, calculated on the basis of the inflationary factors.
When the Sixth Pay Commission had submitted its report, armed forces personnel had expressed their resentment, openly that also led to protest rallies by retired personnel, demanding a better deal considering the hardship factor involved in their services.
The tri-services top bosses too had done some hard lobbying with the defence minister, who in turn had batted on behalf of the armed forces with the finance ministry.
The government then set up a high-powered committee headed by Cabinet secretary K M Chandrasekhar to look into the anomalies pointed out by different sections of the government servants, including those from the defence services.

Groupon Update
The person I contacted at Groupon "passed on" the information to others in the company about Beauty Med Spa nee' Pure Med Spa. We will see what comes of it.

Groupon Does Business with Pure Med Spa
After several commenters noted that Groupon in Dallas is giving out a Groupon on Pure Med Spa (aka Beauty Med Spa–same name, no difference), I sent them an email saying that they really ought to reconsider promoting a company that has done so much harm. Here was Groupon's response:
Thanks for your feedback and sorry for any inconvenience this has caused.
We do our best to feature businesses that see Groupon as an opportunity to gain loyal customers as well as advertise their services.
We stand by all of the businesses we feature and the deals we offer, but if you ever feel let down in any way when using your Groupon, we'll be more than happy to work with you towards satisfaction! Also, thanks for the information! I will be passing this on to the right people.
support@groupon.com
I told them that I am not going to be let down, but others will be. Who wants to be a loyal customer to a business that has stolen thousands of dollars from customers, burned people with lasers, caused one woman to require surgery because they damaged her legs, and on and on. They are being investigated by several state attorneys general and have been profiled on many television news programs for the harm they have caused.
It's a shame that this is Groupon's response considering the negative publicity associated with this company. Groupon is promoting thieves and hucksters. Send Groupon a letter letting them know if you have been harmed and what happened. Maybe if enough people contact them, they will change their policy.

My sweet baby holds a doll and rocks it back and forth and up and down exactly as I rock her, holding it in the same position as if it's being nursed.
She then drops the doll with a thunk and goes and picks up the cat by the neck. There is a limit, I suppose, to the similarities.

In Prison for Taking a Liar Loan
This is simply disgusting and unthinkable. I can't believe I am a citizen of this crooked, backwards country.
This article can be found in the Business Section of the NY Times.
By JOE NOCERA
A few weeks ago, when the Justice Department decided not to prosecute Angelo Mozilo, the former chief executive of Countrywide, I wrote a column lamenting the fact that none of the big fish were likely to go to prison for their roles in the financial crisis.
Soon after that column ran, I received an e-mail from a man named Richard Engle, who informed me that I was wrong. There was, in fact, someone behind bars for what he'd supposedly done during the subprime bubble. It was his 48-year-old son, Charlie.
On Valentine's Day, the elder Mr. Engle said, his son had entered a minimum-security prison in Beaver, W.Va., to begin serving a 21-month sentence for mortgage fraud. He then proceeded to tell me the tale of how federal agents nabbed his son — a tale he backed up with reams of documents and records that suggest, if nothing else, that when the federal government is truly motivated, there is no mountain it won't move to prosecute someone it wants to nail. And it was definitely motivated to nail Charlie Engle.
Mr. Engle's is a tale worth telling for a number of reasons, not the least of which is its punch line. Was Mr. Engle convicted of running a crooked subprime company? Was he a mortgage broker who trafficked in predatory loans? A Wall Street huckster who sold toxic assets?
No. Charlie Engle wasn't a seller of bad mortgages. He was a borrower. And the "mortgage fraud" for which he was prosecuted was something that literally millions of Americans did during the subprime bubble. Supposedly, he lied on two liar loans.
"The Department of Justice has made prosecuting financial crimes, including mortgage fraud, a high priority," said Neil H. MacBride, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, in a statement. (Mr. MacBride, whose office prosecuted Mr. Engle, declined to be interviewed.)
Apparently, though, it's only a high priority if the target is a borrower. Mr. Mozilo's company made billions in profit, some of it on liar loans that he acknowledged at the time were likely to be fraudulent and which did untold damage to the economy. And he personally was paid hundreds of millions of dollars. Though he agreed last year to a $67.5 million fine to settle fraud charges brought by the Securities and Exchange Commission, it was a small fraction of what he earned. Otherwise, he walked. Thus does the Justice Department display its priorities in the aftermath of the crisis.
It's not just that Mr. Engle is the smallest of small fry that is bothersome about his prosecution. It is also the way the government went about building its case. Although Mr. Engle took out the two stated-income loans, as liar loans are more formally called, in late 2005 and early 2006, it wasn't until three years later that his troubles began.
As a young man, Mr. Engle had been a serious drug addict, but after he got clean, he became an ultra-marathoner, one of the best in the world. In the fall of 2006, he and two other ultra-marathoners took on an almost unimaginable challenge: they ran across the Sahara Desert, something that had never been done before. The run took 111 days, and was documented in a film financed by Matt Damon, who served as executive producer and narrator. Mr. Engle received $30,000 for his participation.
The film, "Running the Sahara," was released in the fall of 2008. Eventually, it caught the attention of Robert W. Nordlander, a special agent for the Internal Revenue Service. As Mr. Nordlander later told the grand jury, "Being the special agent that I am, I was wondering, how does a guy train for this because most people have to work from nine to five and it's very difficult to train for this part-time." (He also told the grand jurors that sometimes, when he sees somebody driving a Ferrari, he'll check to see if they make enough money to afford it. When I called Mr. Nordlander and others at the I.R.S. to ask whether this was an appropriate way to choose subjects for criminal tax investigations, my questions were met with a stone wall of silence.)
Mr. Engle's tax records showed that while his actual income was substantial, his taxable income was quite small, in part because he had a large tax-loss carry forward, due to a business deal he'd been involved in several years earlier. (Mr. Nordlander would later inform the grand jury only of his much lower taxable income, which made it seem more suspicious.) Still convinced that Mr. Engle must be hiding income, Mr. Nordlander did undercover surveillance and took "Dumpster dives" into Mr. Engle's garbage. He mainly discovered that Mr. Engle lived modestly.
In March 2009, still unsatisfied, Mr. Nordlander persuaded his superiors to send an attractive female undercover agent, Ellen Burrows, to meet Mr. Engle and see if she could get him to say something incriminating. In the course of several flirtatious encounters, she asked him about his investments.
After acknowledging that he had been speculating in real estate during the bubble to help support his running, he said, according to Mr. Nordlander's grand jury testimony, "I had a couple of good liar loans out there, you know, which my mortgage broker didn't mind writing down, you know, that I was making four hundred thousand grand a year when he knew I wasn't."
Mr. Engle added, "Everybody was doing it because it was simply the way it was done. That doesn't make me proud of the fact that I am at least a small part of the problem."
Unbeknownst to Mr. Engle, Ms. Burrows was wearing a wire.
Lying on a stated-income loan is, without question, a crime, and one ought not to excuse it even though, as Mr. Engle says, "everybody was doing it" — usually with the eager encouragement of their brokers. But the Engle case raises questions not just about the government's priorities, but about something even more basic: did he even commit the crimes he is accused of?
Partly, I concede, Mr. Engle is easy to root for. He is a personable, upbeat man who has conquered some serious demons. Part of his Sahara expedition was aimed at raising money for a charity to help bring clean water to Africa. "Every experience in life has the ability to teach lessons if I am open to them," he wrote on a blog as he prepared to enter prison. How can you not like someone like that?
But the more I looked into it, the more I came to believe that the case against him was seriously weak. No tax charges were ever brought, even though that was Mr. Nordlander's original rationale. Money laundering, the suspicion of which was needed to justify the undercover sting, was a nonissue as well. As for that "confession" to Ms. Burrows, take a closer look. It really isn't a confession at all. Mr. Engle is confessing to his mortgage broker's sins, not his own.
Perhaps anticipating that problem, when Mr. Nordlander finally arrested Mr. Engle in May 2010, he claims to have elicited a stronger, better confession while Mr. Engle was handcuffed in the back seat of his car. Mr. Engle fervently denies this. This second supposed confession, however, was never captured on tape.
As for the loans themselves, on one of them Mr. Engle claimed an income of $15,000 a month. As it turns out, his total income in 2005, according to his accountant, was $180,000, which amounts to … hmmm …$15,000 a month, though of course Mr. Engle didn't have the kind of job that generated monthly income. (In addition to real estate speculation, Mr. Engle gave motivational speeches and earned around $50,000 a year as a producer on the hit show "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.")
The monthly income listed on the second loan was $32,500, an obviously absurd amount, especially since the loan itself was for only $300,000. It was a refinance of a property Mr. Engle already owned, allowing him to pull out $80,000 of the $215,000 in equity he had in the property.
Mr. Engle claims that he never saw that $32,500 claim and never signed the papers. Indeed, a handwriting analysis conducted by the government raised the distinct possibility that Mr. Engle's signature and his initials in several places in the mortgage documents had been forged. As it happens, Mr. Engle's broker for that loan, John J. Hellman, recently pleaded guilty to mortgage fraud for playing fast and loose with a number of mortgage applications. Mr. Hellman testified in court that Mr. Engle had signed the mortgage application. Early this week, Mr. Hellman received a reduced sentence of 10 months, less than half of Mr. Engle's sentence, in no small part because of his willingness to testify against Mr. Engle.
Even the jurors seemed confused about how to think about Mr. Engle's supposed crime. When it came time to pronounce a verdict, the jury found him not guilty of providing false information to the bank, which would seem to be the only fraud he could possibly have committed. Yet it still found him guilty of mortgage fraud. "I think the prosecution convinced the jury that I was guilty of something but they weren't sure what," Mr. Engle wrote in an e-mail.
Like many people, Mr. Engle's biggest mistake was believing that housing prices could only go up. When the market collapsed, Mr. Engle defaulted on the two properties, which of course is not a crime. Although his accountant tried to persuade the banks to do a complicated refinancing, they refused and foreclosed on the properties. Like many Americans, Mr. Engle wound up being punished by the market for his mistake, losing all his remaining equity along with the properties themselves. Thanks to the government, though, his punishment was far more severe than most.
At his sentencing, Mr. Engle told the judge: "I can say with confidence that I can turn negatives into positives. I have no doubt I will make the best of it." With his inspiring prison blog, Running in Place: A Blog About Surviving Adversity, he has already begun to do that.
Even when he emerges from prison, though, his ordeal will not be over. As part of his sentence, Mr. Engle was ordered to pay $262,500 in restitution to the owner of his mortgages. And what institution might that be? You guessed it: Countrywide, now owned by Bank of America.
Angelo Mozilo ought to get a good chuckle out of that one.

Women Dancing
Have you ever noticed that in movies that are "chick flicks," billed and marketed to women, where there are women in a family going through something or women who are friends going through something, that the movie creators always throw in a scene of them dancing together, often on a bed, sometimes resulting in a pillow fight, usually for the montage of how special their relationship is, or sometimes it is to show how women who were enemies are now good friends, and then they use that in the preview to market the film? Damn, it's dumb.

Isabel, have patience! Have patience, Mama? I'm only 1 and a half years old. How am I supposed to have patience? And then I realized, today Isabel is exactly 1 and a half. Happy 1 and a half birthday, Isabel.
Today Isabel also quacked at me. She picked up her new orange and white duck and said Wuack! We wuacked back and forth a bit. She is big into animal sounds. For the longest time it was only barking, but lately, meowing is the most popular sound in her repertoire. Maooooow, maooooow. And now the duck.
If we blow in Ava's face, she tries to eat the air we blow at her. Isabel finds this completely amusing and has taken to blowing in Ava's face as well, only she isn't that great at blowing yet, so there is not a lot of air and Ava doesn't respond quite as vociferously. Instead she licks at Isabel's blows. Isabel, hoping for a bigger response, tries harder.

Have you ever gotten so buried in a book for days that when you're through you're in a daze? This is where I have been and where I am at now. It's an odd feeling. I want to go to that world for a while and leave mine.
Ah well.

An international ministry team must have experience, integrity, compassion for the lost and spiritual fortitude.
We desire to follow Jesus' example of servant leadership. That means we must serve like Jesus, pray like Jesus and be willing to suffer like Jesus. We must search His Word and seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit for the challenges and opportunities we face around the world.
Rev. Robert Craft
Robert Craft has a ministry background of more than 40 years as a pastor, missionary and evangelical missions leader. He is the founder and is serving as the Servant-at-Large (AKA-President) of Reach A Village. He has been working alongside international Christian leaders since 1989.
Bob has been involved in evangelism and discipleship ministry, helping local churches reach out to their own communities and beyond. He has served in ministry throughout Southeast Asia for the past 30 years, helping train local pastors and Christian workers in their efforts to grow and establish new churches. He has also been involved in multiple projects to develop training curriculum as well as discipleship/Bible study curriculum. Bob has a degree in Christian Education from Trevecca Nazarene University and is a graduate of Prairie Bible Institute in Alberta, Canada, with a focus in Bible/Missions. While living in the Philippines, he also continued some graduate courses at Asia-Pacific Nazarene Theological Seminary (APNTS) in Manila, Philippines, related specifically to theology in the Asian context.
Bob founded Reach A Village in 2012 after seeing that hundreds of thousands of villages in Southeast Asia have remained untouched by mission efforts, even though there are Bibles and other resources available in their many local languages. These villages represent more than 2 billion people!
Bob says this about the role of Reach A Village in modern missions: "The most effective and efficient way of reaching the remaining unreached villages of the world is through equipping local, indigenous Christians to reach their own people. Reach A Village helps them have the mobility, materials and training they need to carry out the Great Commission in unreached villages. As a result, new villages are reached every single day with the Gospel, and new churches are established where there were none before."
Rev. Waldemar Kurz
Waldemar Kurz was born in Kazakhstan (one of the Central Asian republics of the former Soviet Union) to German parents who were not Christians. He became a Christian at age 15 after his sister, who had left home a few years earlier and found Christ, returned and shared her new faith with him.
As a native of the former Soviet Union, Waldemar knows firsthand both the religious repression of Communist government and the spiritual hunger that was awakened when the Soviet empire crumbled. "Countries will not always remain as open as they are now," says Rev. Kurz, referring to the former Soviet Union and other areas he oversees. "We are not expecting any countries to close soon completely, but that possibility most certainly can become reality," he says, pointing to increasing challenges of ministry in this region.
"And more and more we see hearts closing to the Gospel as materialism creeps in," he adds. "We are racing with time. Right now, the hearts of the people are still much more open than the hearts of those in the West. Jesus says, 'Work while it is day, for the night is coming.' We must follow His command. We must work now."
For the past 24 years Waldemar has been overseeing ministry projects and programs in the former Soviet Union, Central/Eastern Europe, and the Middle East.
Erin Menke-Assam
Erin Menke-Assam oversees donor development, communications and international partnerships. She has vast experience in missions, training, research and development. She is a literacy master trainer and played a key role in the planning and implementation of international literacy programs. Her research experience includes program evaluation, donor surveys and market research.
Erin also enjoys connecting and engaging partners in ministry. She says, "It's a blessing to help people become part of fulfilling the Great Commission. We are all working together to see that the Gospel goes forth and people come into relationship with Christ." Erin completed a master's degree in International Public Service from DePaul University in 2011 to prepare her to fulfill the call to serve in international Christian non-profit organizations.
Of her role as Director of Partner Development at Reach A Village, she says, "I am thrilled to be part of a ministry that is working not only to share the Gospel, but disciple people and establish a thriving church in unreached villages."
Ellis Craft
Ellis Craft grew up in Thailand and the Philippines, where his parents were missionaries. Upon returning to the United States for college, he attended Moody Bible Institute and University of Illinois Chicago, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology. He then did work for his master's degree in Community Development at North Park University and worked two years in Chicago's South Side.
The next 10 years were spent developing his skills while working with the largest Illinois non-profit provider of services for people with disabilities. The first eight years were spent in management, and the last two years focused on staff development and training. Sensing a deep call to church ministry, Ellis returned to Moody in 2016 to attend Moody Theological Seminary. His master's program in Ministry Leadership was completed in 2018.
Ellis serves Reach A Village as International Ministry Director for Southeast Asia, interacting with our ministry partners overseas. He assists with managing finances and reporting.
Tim Trout
Tim Trout, Chief Financial Officer for Reach A Village, has a financial and ministry background of over 35 years. After college, he became a full-time pastor and served as a missionary to the Philippines. On the field, Tim organized and managed finances. When he returned to the United States, he earned a MBA in Accounting and Finance from Keller Graduate School of Management, and he is a CPA. His experience includes Chief Financial Officer and Regional Finance Officer for two major international ministries.
Tim's life verse is 1 Chronicles 29:11-12, "Yours, O LORD, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, the majesty. Everything in the heavens and on earth is yours, O LORD, and this is Your Kingdom. We adore You as the One who is over all things. Riches and honor come from You alone, for you rule over everything. Power and might are in your hand, and it is at your discretion that people are made great and given strength."
Rev. Jerry Bimber
Jerry Bimber first heard about Reach A Village while serving as a pastor in Lombard, Illinois. His father is also a pastor, so Jerry has been around the ministry his entire life. He attended Hobe Sound Bible College for three years, received his bachelor's degree from Malone College, and earned Master of Divinity and Master of Theology degrees from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School.
After almost 30 years in pastoral ministry, Jerry is now serving as Ministry Representative for Reach A Village. "I have as my life purpose to serve the Lord in whatever capacity He directs me," Jerry shares. "He has placed in my heart a love for the ministry of Reach A Village."
Jerry previously served on the Reach A Village board of directors and has been an active member of several other boards. He was a longtime member and past president of the Lombard Lions Club. For 12 years, he served on the school board in Villa Park, Illinois, acting as board secretary as well. From 2014 to 2019, Jerry was a board member with the Carl F.H. Henry Center for Theological Understanding.
Jim Daughtry
Jim Daughtry has served as a missionary in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Africa and Mexico. He graduated from Moody Bible Institute with a Bachelor of Arts degree in International Ministries and completed a MBA in Mexico at the University of the Americas while serving as a missionary.
Jim is fluent in Spanish and continues to be involved in cross-cultural ministry in the United States. He has written several books and has taught at Christian conferences and on radio programs throughout the country. Before joining Reach A Village, where he serves as Development Assistant, Jim worked in the business world for many years. He is excited to be using his experience and abilities to help share the Gospel message with unreached people.

Rescuers have ended a search for 16 people missing in an Atlantic helicopter crash, saying there was no likelihood of finding survivors.
Rescue official Maj Paul Doucette said crews quit an active search on Friday evening, nearly 34 hours after the helicopter went down about 30 miles off the coast of Newfoundland.
One survivor and the body of another person were found after the Sikorsky S-92 issued a distress call and ditched into the sea. The helicopter had been en route to offshore oil facilities.
Maj Denis McGuire of the Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre said police and Transport Canada were taking over what has been classified as a recovery mission.
"We've gone beyond that 24-hour life expectancy time for someone in an immersion suit," McGuire said in announcing the end of the search.
He said that the families of the missing persons are "distraught" but understand that there is almost no chance of survival after more than 24 hours in the ocean.
Mike Cunningham, lead investigator for the Transportation Safety Board, said the helicopter will be raised from the ocean floor, an operation that could take about a week.
Crews worked overnight with the help of night-vision goggles, but there were no signs of more survivors 24 hours after the Thursday morning accident, Canadian authorities said.

Prototype design services for the Family First Federal Credit Union in East Rochester, NY.
Bergmann provided prototype and site adapt design services for the Family First Federal Credit Union (FFFCU) in East Rochester, NY. The 3,200 SF branch meets the evolving needs of its members as the Credit Union incorporates new technologies into its multi-channel service platform. Bergmann helped FFFCU understand emerging trends in the retail banking sector including the elimination of full-line vaults and the emergence of teller pods. The teller pods eliminate cash drawers in favor of Teller Cash Recycler technology (TCR). This simple change allows for better member engagement and more efficient branch staffing. In addition, Bergmann worked with the Credit Union to develop a community branch where meeting and conference room space may be securely used after hours.
Prototype design included full exterior redesign of the Credit Union's arts-n-crafts themed envelope, while increasing natural light. The interior FF&E package was totally reimagined with the use of contemporary arts-n-crafts finishes, color pallet and furniture. New merchandising units were designed as member touch-points integrating the Credit Union's most recent technology upgrades.

Jacqueline Marie Kimball
SANGERVILLE, MAINE
— Jacqueline Marie Kimball, 91, formerly of Sangerville and Dover-Foxcroft, died on April 19, 2016 at Hawthorne House, Freeport, ME. Jackie was born in Dover-Foxcroft on January 16, 1925 to Robert H. Jones and Mona J. Gould. She attended schools in Dover where she performed in many musical events including soloist for her eighth grade cantata "Evangeline" where she sang the role of Evangeline. She was a member of the Academy Glee Club while attending Foxcroft Academy and was the soprano soloist in the Glee Club's presentation of Handel's "Messiah".
Jackie spent her career working in the health care field as a CNA at Mayo Regional Hospital and Bishop's Boarding Home, ending her career as an activities director at Bishop's and Oakes Manor in Sangerville. She loved working with the elderly, and it was not unusual for her to finish her shift, clock out, and then go back to give special attention to her patients whom she felt needed extra care. In addition to loving her work with the elderly, Jackie was a champion for animals and wild life through her financial support of various programs. Those included Save the Wolves, Save the Whales, and the Bangor Humane Society.
Jacqueline Marie Kimball enjoyed the outdoors, especially camping and fly fishing with her husband, but she especially loved playing with her grandchildren. It was not unusual for Jackie to take her grandchildren on walks in the woods, taking them down to the pond to meet "Charlie" the bull frog, and to end the day making mud pies with them.
Hylan R. Kimball of Dover-Foxcroft, her Husband of 50 years, predeceased her. She was also predeased by her son David "Gary" Dunning of Schickshinny, PA. and a grandson, Jason Dunning Sawyer, formerly of Dover-Foxcroft. Jackie's two sisters, Muriel Graham of Greenville and Phyllis Pelosi of Portland, in addition to her brother, Robert Jones of Plattsburgh, N.Y. predeceased her as well.
Jacqueline Marie Kimball is survived by her daughter, Sherry K. Nadeau and her husband, Christopher, of Saco; her son, Bryan R. Kimball and his wife, Rachel, of Sangerville; her grandsons, Toby Kimball and his wife, Debbie, of Milo. Grandson David Dunning of Wilton and her granddaughters, Tracy Nadeau Wright of Belgrade, Trisha Nadeau Conant as well as her husband, Jeff, of Scarborough survived Jackie. She is also survived by Melissa Dunning Sawyer formerly of Dover-Foxcroft; her great grandchildren Ryan Wright of Belgrade, Camdyn and Landry Conant of Scarborough, as well as several nieces and nephews. Two of her nephews are Christopher Jones of Glens Falls NY, and Steven Jones of Plattsburgh, NY.
A Celebration of Life was held at 2:00 on May 14, 2016 at the Abbot Evangelical Free Church, 102 Main Road, Abbot, ME with Pastor Rogan Taylor officiating.
In lieu of flowers, make donations to the Bangor Humane Society, 693 Hope Avenue, Bangor, ME 04401.
The family would like to thank the nurses and staff at both Freeport Place and Hawthorne House for the excellent, compassionate care they have provided these past 7 years. Thanks also to Beacon Hospice who also helped care for her during her final year.

And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that.


We spotted the first snow flurries just past Castaic, at the beginning of the climb up the Grapevine. It would have been easy to turn around at Templin Highway and take 126 out to Ventura, have a longer but uneventful ride up 101. But Ellie talked us into it: "It'll be an adventure!" And so it was, as we climbed another 2000 feet and more up to the chilly Tejon Pass, where the snow was falling heavily and building up fast on the road.
If it can hold off just a few more minutes, I kept thinking. I can get over the pass and then we'll be descending.
But it was mild mayhem at the summit, with LA drivers sliding around in their BMWs and Mercedes -- cars that were made to be driven in snows worse than this, but not in the hands of these drivers. I crawled along in 2nd gear in the tire tracks of a 4-wheel drive truck a few yards ahead of me, thinking I think I can make it through this, so long as none of these other fools slide into me.
And luckily, none did. They must have closed the pass just a few minutes after we crested it, because there was no one behind or passing us on our long, slow, cautious descent down Grapevine to the San Joauquin Valley floor -- where a backup of cars several miles long confirmed the closure and spoke of a misery that we had just barely avoided.
