A combination of new and old faces delighted audiences at Edwards Air Force Base.

1960s throwbacks Grover and Cookie Monster joined 1980s children Elmo and Rosita for two shows at the Oasis Community Center. Katie – a military family character – also joined the cast. They used song, dance, and drama to communicate uplifting messages to both young and old fans of the long-running TV show. The USO version has run since July 2008 and includes a bit about a military family transitioning to civilian life.

The Sesame Street/USO Experience for Military Families is slated to do 160 shows at 50 bases through October 2016.

Federal Traffic Tickets

Here’s hoping that the show’s participants had a guide to help them get through the maze that is EAFB, because it’s very easy for visitors to get turned around and miss a traffic sign. Base personnel do not have it much easier. As a rule of thumb, even the most careful driver cannot go more than six or eight blocks without violating at least one traffic law, and if there happens to be an MP with eyes on you, a traffic ticket is virtually inevitable.

Many federal traffic tickets in central California go to the U.S. courthouse in Bakersfield, where the clerks almost never reschedule hearings in advance and the judge does not particularly like dealing with these matters. To make matters worse, traffic school is often not available in federal court.

An attorney who is licensed to practice in federal court can appear for you, saving you a trip to Bakersfield. As a bonus, an attorney can generally get the charges reduced or the fine lowered, to save you even more money.
