Mountain Musings with Uncle Mott: The High Cost of Commodities

Have you noticed how cheap gasoline is, of late? Perhaps I will re-word that one. Gas isn’t exactly cheap. (That’s right, but I am, cheap that is). I must say, six or seven bucks a gallon surely ain’t cheap. However, I’ve seen at least one gas station in Crestline...

Mountain Musings with Uncle Mott: Star Spangled Banner

If you’re ever awake at 4 o’clock in the morning – and I am almost every morning – do yourself a favor and tune into KCBS Channel 2 a few minutes before 4 a.m. and give a listen to an amazing, 12-year-old songstress, Reina Ozby, perform an ear-shattering version of...

Mountain Musings with Uncle Mott — The Ants Go Marching

Mountain Musings with Uncle Mott — Something In the Air

Well, I guess I don’t have to tell you that the world has gone to hell in a handbasket. It’s true, folks, we’ve got Israelites and Iranians clobbering each other with rockets and missiles and other folks demonstrating and rioting in the streets of L.A. and other...

Mountain Musings with Uncle Mott — Heat Wave

Mountain Musings with Uncle Mott — Heat Wave

I guess I don’t have to tell you it was hotter than a witch’s broomstick last week. But, let’s face it, it’s always hot this time of the year, and people always complain about the weather, especially me. But then people complain when it’s cold. Some folks, especially...
