New Law Rumors for 2000.
Handheld cellphone are NOT being outlawed, according to CHP personnel at our headquarters.

There are no new laws regarding the use of bungee cords and pickup trucks.

Uniform Change!

You heard it here first! Effective 2/23/99, Officers will be able to wear whichever tan uniform they want to wear, regardless of the season. I.E., you can wear a short sleeve shirt whenever you want. And, "neckwear" will only be required when the blue jacket is worn. This is now official.

I have been a CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL Officer since 1985.

To the right is the logo of the California Association of Highway Patrolmen (CAHP). Yes, we do have women in the CHP, but the association is not politically correct enough to change the name.

On June 16th, 1998, I started doing traffic reports in the mornings for the CHP on KGTV - Ch.10 in San Diego. You can usually see me Monday-Friday between 11:00am and Noon,

and 5:00pm and 6:00pm.

If you have any questions about the CHP, I can be reached at the e-mail address below.

I have written a book on American Indian history. The Dates, Names and "Moons" section of these pages are based on the book. It should be on bookshelves this fall.

Between September 9 and September 16, 2000, I visited many of the Mayan ruins in southern Mexico. Click here to read about my trip and see the pictures I took.

During October and November 2001, I visited more ancient ruins in central & southern Mexico, and in Guatemala. Click here to read about my trip and see the pictures I took.
