  • Follow in the footsteps of Gil Cisneros

    "…is an American government official, philanthropist, and politician who served as Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness in the Biden administration. He served as the U.S. representative for California’s 39th congressional district from 2019 to 2021

    “In 2010, he and his wife won a $266 million Mega Millions lottery jackpot and became philanthropists, establishing endowments for scholarships to be given to Latino students at GWU and the University of Southern California. They also founded Generation First Degree Pico Rivera, with the goal of ensuring every Latino household in Pico Rivera has at least one college graduate, and the Gilbert and Jacki Cisneros Foundation with an initial investment of $20 million to provide mentorship in education.”











  • Not sure there’s any way to selectively take out Bermuda grass. When I took out our front lawn, lots of Bermuda grass tried to take back the space. It took dousing it with vinegar during sunny days, then digging out the grass at the roots to beat it back. It required weeks of steady effort but now hardly any comes back. Only every couple of months do I need to make a pass through the area to fend off incursions.

    Also: why bother with any grass? We’re much happier without a big green sponge out front. Our water usage is way down and the local wildlife likes the natives and our raised beds.
