Welcome to my Website - My name is James Fox, The Mojave Hermit - I served in the "TIN CAN" NAVY with Admiral "Bull" Halsey's 7th fleet in the South Pacific. I hoboed, raced motorcycles, owned two taverns, and two aero-space machine shops. I retired in 1992 after many years of manufacturing management and a separate career in industrial engineering.
My retirement castle is located in the Mojave Desert with a beautiful view of the San Gabriel Mountains. A room full of computers, six neutered cats, and a lotta lizards make my Paradise complete.

My website is extensive, so I broke it into 5 units.

  1. MY HERMIT'S CAVE
    Infomation services for writers and my collection of novels and short stories I authored. You can also find some of my short stories published on the website Readers and Writers Blog http://www.readersandwritersblog.com, which also carries the works of other authors.
  2. THE TRI-COMMUNITIES WEBSITE
    A website I created and maintain as a public service for the communities of Phelan, Wrightwood and Pinon Hills, California.
  3. THE DIRECT DEMOCRACY CENTER
    Where I currently write my columns on politics and education
  4. MY LITTLE, RED ELECTRIC-CAR
    Why and how I built it and how much it cost.
  5. EMERGENCY SHELTER PROJECT This past year's history of hurricanes, earthquakes and other natural disasters caused me to start building a shelter that would be safe, practical and economical.
  6. The True Story About The Tragic Fate Of Our Water Supply
    And How We Could Survive

When my Daughter came to live and take care of me in my old age. I didn't realize that I was old until she started being concerned about my health, reminding me to take my pills and fixing healthy meals. She wasn't used to the desert soltitude and blissful silence, so I suggested she start her own business on the internet.

A business that would keep her busy traveling to promote her website. She turned out to be a helluva saleslady, so now I'm busy programming and updating www.autobestbuysweekly.com. The site is growing like a weed...It gets over 47,000 hits & over 1,400 visitor a month. And it continues to grow... {Paradise Lost}

Go visit her you might save some money.

P.S. I'd like to make a comment on the Illegal Immigrants issue here in California. I'm sorta puzzled about who really are the illegal Immigrants?

When the War with Mexico was over in 1848 the surrender treaty was called "The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo." this treaty was ratified by both nations and became International Law.

Article 8 of the treaty states that any and all of the Mexican citizens who were living in California or in Mexico at the time of surrender & were property owners would retain title and ownership of that property and ownership would pass down to their heirs in perpetuity.

Any blood relatives of the original owners are legally, by international law to lay claim to their property.
See:Treaty

How many of the heirs exist? The only way to know is to research the archives in Mexico City for the names of the families holding land grants in 1848. I believe there are hundreds of decendents. The reason why I believe this resides in "in 1834 the mission lands were seized and secularized by the Mexican government. This period between the1830s and 1840s can be labeled the golden age of ranching in California because the opening of the mission lands resulted in Mexican officials awarding huge grants of mission lands to favored individuals.
See:Grants

So in conclusion I believe that We renters here in California should change our attitudes and try to be fair to our landlords.
