    Jan 7, 2021

    By Eric Smith. Two hours south of Albuquerque and just south of Socorro NM, we climbed 3 peaks 1800 feet of vertical gain. It was sunny and the air was clean and beautiful. Leroy is a wonderful dog, but he's maybe a little older now, and so am I. We have had to cut it to 3 peaks over 7 miles. We used to do almost twice that. He's very gung ho, looking around for animals and watching them run. Leroy's big on rabbits. We saw giant desert hares, desert cottontail . The Hares run 40 miles an hour, e...

  • VA to House Homeless Vets

In 2016, officials unveiled a proposal to bring approximately 1,600 units of permanent supportive housing for formerly homeless veterans to the campus,...

  • Your Tax Dollars Are Being Used to Torture Kittens

    Sep 10, 2020

    By Sabine Ganezer The Veterans' Affairs Laboratory divisions in Louisville, Cleveland, and right here in Los Angeles are conducting cruel "experiments" on cats and kittens. Healthy animals' spines are snapped, devices are implanted in their bodies to force on-demand bowel movements, constipation is induced with the help of squeezing harnesses; and at the end of the process, any survivors are simply killed. After all, we can't afford to waste taxpayer money on frivolous adoption programs. If the...

  • Your Dog Might Be Older Than You Think.

    Jul 9, 2020

    According to a study from the University of California San Diego, a one year-old dog is more like a 30 year-old human. That's because new genetic evidence shows puppies and younger dogs age at a faster pace. Then, as dogs age, the process slows down, so researchers found that a 12 year-old Labrador is similar to a 70-year old human. Dogs live an average of 12 years. Life expectancy in humans is about 5 times that. That means you've probably been estimating your dog's human age equivalent...

  • Allegra California Café Lives Up To Its Name

    Sandra Coopersmith|Nov 28, 2019

    I had a dear Chilean friend who, after enjoying a particularly scrumptious meal, would loll back and, with eyes slightly glazed and a blissful expression, invariably say, "guatita llena, corazon contento" (full tummy, happy heart). She would definitely have said that after dining at Allegra California Café, which opened August 16th at 4437 Sepulveda Blvd. in Culver City. This casual, friendly restaurant is aptly named since "Allegra" is not only the first name of one of the owners, Allegra Perez...
