That last rooster message got sent without the cute pic and info! Ah, computers! However, he is apparently spoken for but it prompted a message from the Carlyles saying they have two roosters that are free to a good home. They are about 6 months old now. One is all white and the other is orange with blue/black feathers in his tail. Simply give Robert and Anita a call and you can go pick up your new rooster! 76O 74two 1 eight9one

“We’re in this Life together” – from Jana
From: Jana Lucaccioni
Good News!!! Doggies have homes!
Almost 2 weeks to the day that I found them on the side of the road….they now both have been adopted and have homes. Unfortunately they were not able to go together, but at least they are safe and loved and have a home. They spent a week at the North County Animal Shelter (who could really use some Volunteers…esp. on Wednesdays) and were adopted from there.
I am grateful to all the people who “paid it forward” with emails, phone calls, prayers and holding the vision that they would find loving homes. I was truly touched by the out pouring of love and compassion and the desire to help from all of you and those you asked.
As a side note…through this chain of events and connection of emails…John received (via a friend) the most touching and wonderful story of gratitude and accomplishment from a lady he had helped years ago buy a home and how what he did set her on a path to build the most beautiful life for herself. She had lost touch with John but through this outreach of emails she was able to tell John how what he did was so important in her life and tell him how thankful she was. It brought tears to our eyes and expanded our hearts even more. We just never know how the things we do will touch and influence others lives!
A good ending to a sad beginning for these 2…and I hope this encourages and inspires you to stop the next time you see a dog(s) on the side of the road and lend a helping hand. We are all in this life together and it is only our love and compassion that defines who we are.
With Love and Gratitude, Jana

Reduced hours at Palomar PO – thoughts?
From: David Ross [mailto:editor@valleycenter.com]
The USPS has given Palomar Mountain residents a 30-day notice that the hours at the mountain post office will now be 9:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m. on weekdays, with the window closed for lunch from 12:30-1:30 p.m. Saturday hours will remain the same: 8:30 a.m.–noon. This will be effective Jan. 26, 2013.
I’m wanting to get some comments from local residents about the new hours for an article I’m writing for The Roadrunner. Please contact me at the number below, or email me at editor@valleycenter.com if you want to comment about how the change will affect you, if at all.
Regards,

Dream Wedding and Palomar Insurance?
What does hosting a Dream Wedding at the Rose Parade and a great option for insurance on Palomar Mountain have in common? We have appreciated the service from Jereme Wilson, who provides for our homes and vehicles. Insurance can be hard to get and keep up here and he has been a pleasure to work with for us, and many of our clients.
Jereme is our local Farmers Insurance agent. Farmers is hosting a Dream Wedding on their Farmer’s Insurance Float in the Rose Parade. So, I thought this might be the perfect time to turn around his info, and pass on a fun wedding link:

Cute, Cozy, Cabin in the Woods
This listing was up for just a couple of days when the owner called and said, “Tell them I’m a motivated seller and reduce it $10,000”! It is the lowest price on Palomar!!!
I realized with all the Thanksgiving turkey and extra pie, somehow along the way, I hadn’t even posted this cute, cozy, cabin in the woods yet for all of you! Well, call me quick! The seller added a screened in patio to this 1932 little gem. The cabin is now staged and sparkling clean! Some great repairs have been made – a new counter in the kitchen and new roof on the outhouse! Yes, it is an original outhouse. (Don’t you love it!?!!) The seat is gone now but, oh my, what a great place for sleds! There is an album of lots more pix plus the MLS link waiting for you here.
Come see! You could be in for the first snow!

Shooting on Palomar
Hear the gun shots yesterday? Several people mentioned that they heard a lot of rapid shooting on Saturday coming from the Canfield Road area. I was visiting the AK Ranch – the new owners of the property that was formerly the Girl Scout Camp. It wasn’t them! Someone was shooting right next door on the National Forest property. But you could also hear it at Bailey’s and up on Crestline.
As many of you know, shooting is allowed on much of the land on Palomar (not in the housing areas). Depending on where you are on the mountain, some of the topography makes it seem even louder a distance away. I know most property owners want to be very considerate of their neighbors. I’m sure those guys on National Forest were having a great time but we’re thankful they ran out of bullets.
That’s the latest!
