My computer has been freaking out lately. My fonts are all wacky and my real estate forms software keeps showing weird rectangular boxes and symbols instead of words. Not good! But I've finally fixed my browser, and I'll work my way to fixing everything else. If today's post looks different, it's because I've been fiddling around with fonts.

White-collar professionals such as Entner are finding attractive jobs there, no longer commuting westward. Tall office buildings are sprouting, along with more $1-million-plus homes. The region's median income now surpasses that of Los Angeles County. It is creating more jobs than Orange and San Diego counties are creating put together.
