Movie Reviews by Reel People: 'Conan the Barbarian'
Life is too short to watch bad movies. Oh, it’s possible if in the right mood, this brutally sadistic remake of Ah-nuld’s 1982 “Conan the Barbarian” could be a guilty pleasure. But if it depends where you draw the line; how about Iraq? Sure, Jason Momoa is pumped up and his “awms” are “veddy lawge,” but you’ll see better flicks on MST 3000.

Notes from the Road: Finding imagination along roads traveled
I believe that a yearning for artistic expression has been a human constant from the beginning.

Finally, in my last week of living at home, I get it.
Letter: RRC Rd. widening

Letter: Keep reducing fees

The new “Three,” in their principle campaign statements, were very sound and reasonably predicted improvements in eliminating the many past years of excessive and erratic wasting of Canyon Lakers’ monthly fees paid.
Letter: Big thanks
A big “thank you” for all the cards, best wishes and phone calls. I am doing better, but very tired. The doctor says I must stay with my daughter in Long Beach. I have very good care! When I get back to Canyon Lake for a short visit, I will be ready to see everyone. Thanks again!
