Until well into the 1960s it was against the law for a drinking establishment in California to call itself a saloon. A place in Laguna Beach, which was pretty saloonish for the time, had to close briefly because one of its walls was painted as western scene and the word saloon was included in the pi...

Very, very nice. A few people do take advantage of opportunities and turn them into something for some of us which are fascinating and lead to further individual exploration.

I have a little trouble trying to understand my own brother. I have the same problem but it has nothing to do with language. On the other hand, Austin was very nice when I was there some years ago. I bought my first pair of cowboy boots there and danced the night away at a Mexican fiesta with a gor...

My dad always said he appreciated Mexico celebrating his birthday. He never did have an answer for how they found out about it since he was born in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.
