Free Radio Joshua Tree
New Internet Radio from Joshua Tree launched today. I’m going to check it out. I like the music scene in Joshua Tree and they say their will be more than just music. There’s supposed to be a new show “Tiki Time” playing the best in classic and modern Exotica starting at 5 pm Pacific this Friday, March 22.
Big Burn Break
Half way done. It’s kind of hot out for a burn.
Working “Cruzar la Cara de la Luna”
Working a special Mariachi Opera today. Two shows only, but I saw it during rehearsal last week and it is very moving and nice to watch.
Semana de Mariachi
Getting ready for a day of Mariachi Opera.
Getting Ready for the Irish Holiday
Making the soda bread for my “Big Gay” Irish Husband (an inside joke; check out the link for an event happening today my niece misunderstood as political). They say the bread is better a little stale so I’m making it this morning before going to work. No raisins! Here’s a simple recipe:

Summer Is Here
96 degrees at 4:30 pm in Borrego Springs, they said it broke 100 today. At least it’s a dry heat…
We saw comet Panstarrs!
We weren’t giving it much hope, but right before the comet set we saw it. It was not very bright without the binoculars, but you could see the tail a little. This picture is from the web yesterday when the moon was lower, but it looks about how it looked to us. Not too big, but still neat.
Warner Springs Ranch has a new Owner
Dennis reports that Pacific Hospitality Group, Inc.
has won the auction for the sale of Warner Springs Ranch. The judge did allow additional bidding but the price and terms from Pacific Hospitality were better than anyone else. Looks to be a 30 day escrow with the Pacific Hospitality saying they want to get the the place up and running soon. Hopefully later there will be an article about thier plans, but they do want the Golf Course to be open as well as the gas station and store. There was talk of expanding the cafe and other facilities.
Pacific Hospitality Group runs the Hacienda Hotel in Old Town and made investment in Heritage Park. They have shown a commitment to tradition and history. The people in Los Tules, Warner Springs were hoping this company would win the bid.
Pacific Hospitality Group, Inc. bought Salt Creek Golf Course in Chula Vista last year. Earlier they helped with the restoration of Temple Beth Israel in Old Town.
