Hunting the Aaardvark

Submitted by scott on Tue, 09/22/2009 - 17:30

For many years I've been intrigued by a sign painted on the outside wall of a small shop in Canoga Park. The sign belongs to a vintage clothing outlet, The Aaardvark's Odd Ark. Until recently I had no idea what they sold or any other thing about them for that matter. It was only the sign that held any interest for me. Since starting up my one page web site business, One Pagers, I've been looking for small businesses and other unusual and/or interesting businesses to add quality content to the site.

Web sites for handhelds and mobile phones

Lately I've been developing a site for small businesses to make their presence known on the web (http://www.onepagers.net). I believe there are a large number of business with owners and managers that have little or no interest in the internet. Nevertheless they would still benefit from a web presence. My project is to create one page mini-sites that concentrate on who and what the business is about. The pages need to be effective on both large and small screens.

Adult Day Care - Getting there and back again

Submitted by scott on Fri, 05/22/2009 - 14:30

My mother, Virginia, has now been enrolled at OneGeneration for a little over a month and she is enjoying it. To get her there and back she is signed up with LA CityRide. I need to call at 8am the day before to schedule her rides to and from. Ride schedules are used up by 9:30am, so they tell me, and it takes close to 30 minutes to actually get through and schedule the rides. LA CityRides has issued her a book of script. They can be purchased quarterly with 84 tickets in each book. Each ride my mother takes "costs" 4 scripts. This means she'll run out before the quarter is up.

Virginia Holmes born Waldron

Virginia is my mother. She has always been a very good mother. Now she is 85 years of age and has some dementia and recently a hip replacement. I've had to move her into my relatively small house in Reseda from her own home in Tehachapi, along with four of her cats. It's rather a tight squeeze as both she and my wife have rather strong personalities. So, I'm working at enrolling her into a local program for elderly folks at Onegeneration

Introduction

Submitted by scott on Sat, 03/21/2009 - 14:41

By way of introduction, my name is Scott. I was born and raised in Southern California, raised in Reseda to be precise. Starting in my late teens and most of my twenties I spent my summers in and around Yosemite, backpacking and generally lolling around. Eventually I wrote a Masters thesis on a small portion of the park, the Kuna Crest. For a time I actually had a career in geography and worked for a large government agency.

Greetings from Scott
