Rusty Strait

They call him Wild the Coyote - he’s a singer and songwriter headed toward the top. Currently residing in West Hollywood, he reverses that old adage of “go west young man,” He will soon be aiming his arrows East. He will appear at Hemet’s Derby’s Bar and Grille for a one-night stand on Friday, February 4th.

Covering the San Jacinto City Council meeting by phone is like having a milkshake at the local malt shop, and it goes down sweet and slick. Tuesday night was no except, and it lasted a little over an hour.

I recall as a young child hearing my grandfather say, “Those that have nothing appreciate everything they receive, and those that have it all expect it to flow like a river forever.” It never much occurred to me then what he was talking about. Today I understand. We have become a nation of spoiled brats, overweight, self-serving nincompoops who want immediate gratification without concern for consequences.

I’ve had a number of requests to investigate the telephone system for connecting with a doctor (if you have an HMO). I went into this blindly, wondering what on earth were they talking about. Just pick up the phone and connect to the doctor’s office. Right? Not so fast.

Last night’s Hemet City Council Meeting was akin to an IBM annual stockholders meeting on Wall Street. It began at 6 p.m. and ended close to 1:00 a.m. With zoom, it felt like being on a serious TV series. Having said that, here we go.
