We got a lot of snow this Presidents' Day weekend. There were a lot of kids out sledding and having fun. After a big dump of snow Saturday night and Sunday morning there was a lot of snow on the ground, but blue sky came out and it was a beautiful day. It was a light powdery snow. The snow plows did a good job this snow and the roads were drivable early in the day.

Martin Jacques: Understanding the rise of China

Here is some background information to try to understand this nation we call China.

The San Bernardino Mountain community has been celebrating the Christmas Season. Crestline started the festivities with a tree lighting ceremony November 27. They sang Christmas carols, had a preacher give a message, and then had a boat parade where the boats were decorated with Christmas lights. Also, an old fashioned fire truck brought the big man from the North Pole. This is just one example of our celebration of Christmas here in the San Bernardino Mountains.

Jimmy Chamberlin, drummer of the Smashing Pumpkins, founded this new 'group.' It is a very interesting style. Enjoy!

Mountain Biking in the San Bernardino Mountains

There are mountain biking trails all throughout the San Bernardino Mountains from Lake Silverwood to Big Bear and beyond. There are many trails and you may even ride on some of the ski slopes on mountain bikes in the summer.

My son and I went for a nice ride today on a trail that went along Big Bear Lake. It was a nice sunny day, even though down the hill it was cloudy. It was a nice ride and a lot of fun. Afterwards we went into town and had a nice lunch at a local restaurant. A great way to spend the day.

Lake Gregory

It was a fun day today down at the lake. The Lake Gregory Yacht Club sponsored a race for kids. The kids, many who were 'sailing' for the first time, learned how to sail the boats. Then they had three races. The parents also had a great time watching their children sail the boats and meeting the members of the LGYC. It was a nice day, the sun was out, with a few clouds out to make for a pretty scene.
