Editor’s Note: California will hold its 2024 Presidential Election on Tuesday, November 5. Besides the races for President, the U.S. Senate and Congress, voters will have a choice between incumbent Greg Wallis (Republican) and Democrat Christy Holstege for California’s District 47 Assembly seat.

Although the election is still three months in the future, the Town Crier wanted to introduce both candidates as individuals to the readers.

This story with Holstege and a similar story with Wallis, which will appear in next week’s issue of the Town Crier, do not discuss campaign issues. Closer to the election, the Town Crier will report on those topics and the candidates’ views and opinions.

Editor’s Note: California will hold its 2024 Presidential Election on Tuesday, November 5. Besides the races for President and the U.S. Senate, voters will have a choice between incumbent Ken Calvert (Republican) and Democrat Will Rollins for California’s U.S. Congressional District 41 seat. Although the election is still three months in the future, the Town Crier wanted to introduce both candidates as individuals to the readers. Last week, Congressman Calvert spoke with the Town Crier about his youth, his interests, and history with Idylliwld.

This story and a similar story with Rollins, which appeared in the July 25 issue of the Town Crier, do not discuss campaign issues. Closer to the election, the Town Crier will report on those topics and the candidates’ views and opinions.

August 2024 — Week 2

March 21 – April 19

Avoid adding to the tension around you. Even a well-meant reaction against something you perceive as unfair could be misunderstood. Let things calm down, then talk about it.

April 20 – May 20

It’s a good time for romance for unattached Bovines -- and for reinforcing the bonds between existing partners. Children’s needs are important during the latter part of the week.

May 21 – June 21

A compliment from a surprising source sends you wafting way up into the clouds, where -sorry to say -- your view of what’s going on is obscured. Come on down and face reality.

June 22 – July 22

Even a family-loving person like you can sometimes feel you’re at the end of the line with contentious kinfolk. But things can work out. Remember that it’s better to talk than walk.

July 23 – August 22

A job-related move might hold more positive surprises than you’d expected. Go into it with confidence and look for all the advantages it offers. Then decide what you’ll do with what you find.

August 23 – September 22

Driving yourself too hard to get something done on a deadline that you set up can backfire. Ease into a more realistic finish date and add more breaks to your work schedule.

September 23 – October 22

Your sense of humor can brighten any dark period, and your laughter can dispel those gray clouds swirling around you. The weekend presents a surprising but welcome change.

October 23 – November 21

Be careful about the words you use, especially in touchy situations. The old saying that “speech is silver, but silence is golden” could apply well here.

November 22 – December 21

Some facts could emerge that shed light on unresolved past problems. What you learn might also help explain why a once-warm relationship suddenly cooled down.

December 22 – January 19

Don’t let your pride get in the way of checking into what could be a great new opportunity. Get the facts first, then worry about procedure and protocol later.

January 20 – February 18

A health problem in the family might have other relatives assuming that, as before, you’ll take over the health care duties. Surprise them and insist they share in the caretaking.

February 19 – March 20

A series of changes can be unsettling, but in the long run, it can pay off with new perspectives on what you plan to do. Keep your mind open to the possibilities that might lie ahead.
