(More)About this blog: In January 2002 I started writing my own online "newspaper" titled "The San Ramon Observer." I reported on City Council meetings and other happenings in San Ramon. I tried to be objective in my coverage of meetings and events, and saved my barbs for my Commentary page. I had some political differences with the City Council at that time and particularly with the majority dubbed "The Gang of Three," by the San Ramon Valley Times. In 2003 new Council members were elected and the Council was more balanced and fiscally conservative, but I continued to write the Observer until 2009. At that point I decided I wanted to concentrate on my commentaries. So I requested a meeting with the editor and publisher of the Danville Weekly about taking over the San Ramon Observer. My timing was very apropos since the parent company, Embarcadero Media, was planning to release an online San Ramon Express that April. I was offered a "blog" under the name "San Ramon Observer" for my commentaries. I like to inform residents about what is happening in San Ramon, especially on city government and local politics. When I don't have anything to write about on those topics, I just write about anything I am doing or thinking about.

I received this email from a reader of the Observer:
Hi Roz,
I just went to your webpage so that I can send you the message about this dog and found that you're changing things. I wish you the best on this new venture.
Are you still showing animals on your webpage? Do you think you'll still have traffic?
I'm wondering if you are able to help this dog. The person who found her and is helping her cannot keep her much longer (in Ceres, near Modesto). She's not part of a rescue group. Please let me know if you can help get the word out about this dog. Description is below.
It's thought she may be part Border Collie. She was abandoned outside a vet's in the middle of the night by people (jerks) who moved from their house, also in the middle of the night.
The dog has been examined by a vet, has rabies shot, etc, has a microchip and is spayed. She weighs 99 pounds. She's a good, calm dog who would really brighten up in a new home. Please spread the word. Do you know anyone who could get the word out?
