The Third District supervisor represents an area stretching from Highland, Redlands and Yucaipa to Twenty-nine Palms and Barstow.  It is the second largest geographical district in the county.

I had a bit of an odd occurence yesterday.  On Wednesday I went to the library to get some work done on the blogs and websites and, lo and behold, all of my blogs and websites had been completely blocked on library computers.
