The Time Ranger | Witches, Anti-Harry Welch, Bad Air & Bigfoot 

October 26, 2024 12:35 am

A warning, amigos. This weekend’s trail ride through Santa Clarita Valley history is not for the faint-hearted.  No.  That doesn’t mean you get to smack your lips in nubile satisfaction,

John Boston | My New Inc.: Take Out the Trash-O-Genics

October 25, 2024 9:38 am

So I’m thinking about creating a new high-tech start-up and already I’m faced with debilitating roadblocks. First, there’s the fact that when it comes to things science, I’m dumber than

October 19, 2024 12:31 am

John Boston | I’m Part of an Ongoing Investigation

October 18, 2024 9:09 am

October 5, 2024 12:54 am

This morning, dear saddlepals and saddlepal-ettes. We’ve a most splendiferous trail ride ahead into Santa Clarita’s back trails of lore and history.  Too bad we can’t warn some of the

John Boston | Forget the Wolf. Buffoonocracy Is at Our Door.

September 27, 2024 10:00 am

I participated in my first-ever Trump rally last weekend. Sat in a giant thwoppida-thwoppida diesel pickup with a dear pal driving. I’m guessing there were 100 to 150 vehicles. Big-asterisk 4-by-4s.

Offering yet another soft, “Warm Western Howdies” this fine Signal Saturday morning. They don’t cost much and meant not to startle.  Oh. Sorry about the spurs on the condo carpeting.

The Time Ranger | Saugus High Changing Its Mascot Name? 

September 7, 2024 2:12 am

A warm and Western howdy, Santa Clarita saddlepals. Time to shake loose the bed bugs and wiggle into some jeans (non-designer). Shirt, boots (just two) and a fetching cowboy hat

John Boston | My 1st Cigarette & My Very Last Stinkpot Cigar

September 6, 2024 4:24 am

It lay abandoned, on the department store floor, toy aisle if memory serves. I pretty much lived The Childhood Unsupervised and was in third grade. Someone had dropped a perfectly
