July 26 2008 by Jim W Hildreth RE/Max of Sonora Last evening my sister visited from San Francisco and her friend made comment while sitting in the living room that she never hears "spriklers" and she loved the sound. I started to think about what I love about Sonora. For those who do not know where Sonora is located its about 125 east of San Francisco and generally a 2.5 to 3 hour road-trip.  I go 580 to 205 to Hwy 120, past Oakdale and then another 30 minutes to Sonora, Tuolumne County. I love and live in downtown Sonora. I live on just shy of an acre, we have loads of wildlife and over the years from daily deer grazing, nightly foxes and yes an occasional stray horse and a few mountain Lyons. The home is one of Sonor's vintage homes built in the early 1900's and it was built by Attorn...

I don't know if you had a chance to see the Union Democrat yesterday. Highlighted on the front page was Black Oak Casino's new construction of a six-story, 1,000 space parking garage. Which got me to thinking about parking garage safety. I used to live in an apartment complex in the Bay Area. We had a parking garage under the complex where someone crawled through the sun roof into my car and stole my wallet out of the glove box. And they could have just taken the money and left the rest, right? But no. I had to get a new driver's license, social security card, et. al. It goes without saying I shouldn't have left my wallet in the car. I know. But beyond that, you can become a prime target for things beyond theft in a parking garage - especially the ladies. You just can't be too careful. ...

It was a blood red sunrise this morning across the Mother Lode caused by the continuing fires across the Golden State. For those of you that weren't up early enough to see it, I have a picture and a video. The picture (on the right) is taken from the top of Valley Oak Drive in Mono Vista looking in the Twain Harte direction. (Click on picture to enlarge.) The video (below) is taken from my house as the sun appears over the trees.
