Been a long idea of mine to host a 2-3day desert generator mini fest...any idreas of where I can make that happen? blm land somewhere in mojave? any suggestions would be great..this is only an idea that ive been wanting to make happen...definitely something that will take alot of planning..just finding a spot would make this possible!

I need to start using instacart for grocery delivery. I searched here and FB and all I've learned is cash tip is preferred, but what are we tipping our drivers?

If yer tired of starin' at a blank page like a brainless desert rat, git yer lazy asses down to the Hesperia Branch Library. We’re gatherin' every Tuesday between the hours of 5:30 and 7:00 PM to bleed onto keyboards.

Here be the bloody code we follow:

• We kick off by flappin' our gums fir the first 15 minutes. Git to know yer fellow scoundrels, brag about what miserable excuse for a creative project yer workin' on.
• Lash yerself to the desk, shut your hole, and write for one bloody hour.
• For the last 15 minutes ye git to bitch and moan about how yer writing went to shit. Share yer struggles or keep yer trap shut, there’s no bloody pressure either way.

If ye have any questions don't hesitate to leave a comment or send a message to meself or me co-host, u/RecentDeparture3836.

Wanted to share an experience and help out this local vendor. His name is Elote Alex and he's the guy thats on his vendor bike next to the Super Target on Hwy 18. I don't normally get food from street vendors. If I get esquites or elotes, its usually from food trucks but figured why not give him a shot.

Got the equite for $5 and tipped him another dollar because its not easy showing up everyday. I wasn't expecting much but this was probably one of the better esquites I've had. The corn was sweet, good crunch, savory, and spicy.

Reasonable price, great find. Takes Zelle too which makes it easy.

Hopefully this brings more business to him. Nice guy, always hustling and showing up. And actually has good food.

In my opinion, it's mediocre at best.

Yes, it's better than the old library but it feels like they barely modified the original bar and grill and the infrastructure of the club still dominates the building. There is awkward and/or poor use of space, the children's section is disproportionately large and there is absolutely no privacy.

I fear that the Hesperia Library will continue to reign supreme as the High Desert's best library.

What does everyone else think?

Any local hvac guys in VV ? My ac needs some work done

So Im trying to find any union places that are hiring up here or close by. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I’m thinking of opening a blinker repair shop. I’ve noticed no one’s blinker seems to work up here and could be a great opportunity for a specialized shop.

I live in a crappy 44 year old apartment building in Victorville and for as long as I've lived here, I've had bug problems every Spring and Summer.

Over the past few years, I have noticed that the bugs are now appearing in the Autumn and Winter as well and recently, the traps have simply stopped working. I've tried changing brands to no avail.

Roaches and Spiders in my unit seem to be actively avoiding the traps and this morning, I came across a wolf spider that started hopping towards me. According to Google, wolf spiders cannot hop but I know what I saw.

Is anyone else finding that bugs are becoming more aggressive and resilient ( possibly due to climate change ) or do I just have a mutant roach+spider problem in my apartment specifically?

Hey high desert community i been going on my bike pedaling everywhere looking for work unemployment is paying me breadcrumbs , having no job is causing so much friction between me and my family even though they see I’m really putting effort to find employment.

I have a solid resume 5+ years of warehouse and fast food experience nobody is hiring cause all these employers are fully staffed.

It’s very exhausting and dangerous I no longer go job hunting on my bike cause it’s extremely tiring I’m constantly taking breaks chugging water. I been applying online as well going on indeed applying to all THESE PLACES.

ANYBODY that has a job out here right now weather it’s warehouse or fast food please let me know if they actually hiring and if I will 100% get hired
I’m done pedaling on my bike drenched in sweat just to get the same rundown.

been out of work for months now. It’s starting to really get to me I do not have a car and I don’t have anybody to help me with rides.. anything helps… already tried going union , trade etc but having a car is a must for pretty much everything. I just need a full time job so my life can get better.
I’m in Hesperia near main st by super target I need a job close to my house saving up for a car. This is completely horrendous times in my life.
