• What does romance and dating mean as you get older? Different things.

  09-06-2024 16:18 via ocregister.com
  
  “Dating is different when you’re older,” I heard a woman say as she selected oranges at the market.
  I have to admit to becoming a sometimes eavesdropper since I discovered supermarkets are full of interesting conversations floating about amid the groceries.
  “In what way is dating different?” I wanted to ask a total stranger. And how should I do this? Tell her I’m a writer and collect conversations. Assure her that I would never use her name in print even if I

  An accounting firm hired to audit Central Basin Municipal Water District’s fiscal records threw in the towel last week, claiming it could not finish the job because missing records and “ongoing mismanagement” had undermined the review’s integrity.

  For those unwilling to condemn Israel in the harshest terms, he said, the UC Irvine campus has become a hostile and dangerous place.
  “When Jewish students say something is hurtful or problematic, they’re told, ‘You’re crazy,’ ‘territorial,’ called ‘racist,’ ‘Islamophobic,’ ” said Rabbi Daniel Levine of Hillel in Orange County. “It’s not just here. This is part of a much wider

• Study: Southern California is most disaster-prone region in U.S.

  Southern California is a disaster.
  Oh, you’ve heard?
  Sure, but in this case “disaster” isn’t code for “too expensive” or “not as cool as when I was a kid” or “politically bananas.”
  No, this time, disaster means disaster. In fact, according to a new national ranking of 3,200-plus U.S. counties, Southern California rates as the single most disaster-prone region in the country.

  After more than a year of study, San Bernardino County is preparing to release a report on whether those who feel the state government overlooks the county – the basis for a November 2022 measure to potentially secede from California – have a point.
  The report is expected to be presented to the Board of Supervisors in coming weeks, officials say.

  SUNRISE, Fla. — Sergei Bobrovsky turned the puck over on the first shift and recovered. He lost his stick for 30 seconds at one point and still made saves. Connor McDavid put six shots on net, and none of them went in.
  Bobrovsky put on a masterclass against McDavid and every other player who dared test him and his teammates pounced when given the chance. As a result, the Florida Panthers are off and rolling in the Stanley Cup Final.

  ANAHEIM — The next time the Angels need to put up a zero late in a close game, manager Ron Washington won’t hesitate to bring Hunter Strickland out of the bullpen.
  The veteran right-hander had a rare off-night on Friday in the series opener against the visiting Houston Astros, made worse by a missed called third strike that would have been the second out in the seventh inning.
  Instead, Houston third baseman Alex Bregman drew a walk two pitches later to load the bases. That forced Str
