Let’s take a little history lesson, a rather important one. In grade school, we learn about the Constitution and Bill of Rights. These rights have protected the people for over 200 years and continue to do so, so it is imperative for the people to know their rights and know if and when they are […]

If you’re lucky enough to own a home that has a garage you probably assume that you’re free to store whatever you want inside. You probably don’t think it matters if you park a car, use it to store boxes of books, or keep a collection of landscaping tools in your garage. In most parts […]
Sometimes the urge to have fun overrides our common sense. All of us know how to drive defensively and know that failing to do so could lead to an accident. Yet, when it comes to a wide-open expanse of highway, the urge to do something reckless can be overwhelming. This urge can lead to making […]

There is little that tugs on the heartstrings more than a family pet that has been abandoned.

Tagging and graffiti are two things that most people have seen, especially if they live in an urban area. Pretty much every large city in the country is littered with graffiti and other signs of tagging.

With the literal thousands of different laws within the US, and even California alone, it is nearly impossible to follow all of them all of the time.
