As long-time readers of this blog likely recall, this blog was launched as a proof-of-concept for a revamped HesperiaStar.com. Today, that revamped site has been launched. Although it's not yet complete -- look for a system of categories about news stories that allows readers to see every story on a major topic with a single click -- it's complete enough to merit shutting down this blog.
Please direct your comments about Hesperia Star stories to http://www.HesperiaStar.com/ and, for the first time, look for the Hesperia Star to offer breaking news as often as five days a week.
Thanks for helping us prepare the way for the new HesperiaStar.com!

Are you a distracted driver?
Car Care
Here in the High Desert, just keeping your cool can be difficult while driving. With the hot temperatures lately, the growing traffic in our area and back to school time it is hard to stay focused on the act of driving. Other drivers are not always helpful and often drive aggressively and rudely. The construction zones that seem to be everywhere don�t make it any easier and are an added distraction. But the construction and the number of drivers on the road are only going to increase over the next several years, potentially adding to the stress of driving. Do what you can to stay calm and to avoid provoking other drivers. Staying calm will help with paying attention to your driving. Driving is a serious event and unfortunately, most of us do not take driving serious enough.
