South Lake Tahoe gardening: Growing your own food and this week's festival
Submitted by paula on Tue, 06/06/2023 - 7:29pm
SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - As anyone who has gardened at high elevation knows there are challenges that lower elevation residents don't experience. No matter the hard work and time spent tending to flowers, shrubs, and trees, the rewards are great (even if it is a one-inch potato!
I haven't grown vegetables for too long, and it was the UC Master Gardeners of Lake Tahoe and Slow Grow Tahoe people that got me hooked about five years ago. My annual "crops" have been potatoes, beans, and peas. This year I'm adding sunchokes, leafy greens, onions, and leeks.

Road Beat ~ 2023 Volvo XC60 Recharge AWD review: Fast and mostly fresh
Submitted by paula on Wed, 05/24/2023 - 9:51pm
I have a hit-and-miss relationship with a certain stylish Swedish carmaker. Volvos often offer understated, Bauhaus styling that looks modern without any effort, and lavishly luxurious interiors that can rival any other competing brand in their space. They're not without issue, though, with a majority of Volvos tested exhibiting wonky electronics that are unacceptably unreliable in 2023, such as doors not locking, center display lockups, maps freezing, and buzzing speakers. Luckily, this XC60 showed none of that, so I was able to enjoy at its full strength.

As we reflect back on Barton’s 60-year history, the 1960s, which encompasses Barton’s grand opening, marks a time of progression and purposeful improvement.
