5 Things People in California Do in the Bathroom That Could Make Other Americans Feel Uncomfortable

A California bathroom stop can involve a rock waterfall, a self-cleaning sidewalk enclosure, or a desert toilet with no flush handle. Those differences are real, but they come from particular buildings, services, and landscapes. They do not establish that Californians share an unusual set of personal habits. The five examples...

Six-figure Powerball winner in California forgot tickets in a cupholder

With the Powerball jackpot nearing $1 billion a few months ago, Amos Tillet of Los Angeles bought $20 worth of tickets — and then forgot about them. A few days later, a friend asked him to retrieve something from the vehicle and he found the tickets left in a cupholder. One turned out to be worth $1.4 million. “I ran around the living room and, I kind of like, fell out in joy,” Tillet said. He had to scan the slip twice to be sure he’d won. Tillet said it was ironic because when he bought the tickets, the clerk had asked him why he was only buying $20 for the huge jackpot. “I told the guy, ‘Man, I’ll be happy with a million,’” Tillet said. “Sure enough, kind of what I ended up with.” The current Powerball jackpot is $562 million with a $230.4 cash value. The next drawing is Wednesday, Oct. 14. Many people can gamble or play games of chance without harm. However, for some, gambling is an addiction that can ruin lives and families. If you or a loved one shows signs of gambling addiction, you can seek help by calling the national gambling hotline at

This Hidden California State Park Is So Quiet, You’ll Practically Feel Like The Only Person There

There’s a stretch of California coastline so beautiful it almost feels like a personal insult, and Andrew Molera State Park in Big Sur sits right in the middle of it.

King Salmon Return to the Rivers!

Every year, rivers on the West Coast welcome back the return of adult Chinook salmon—also known as King Salmon. When they are just a few inches long, these amazing fish begin their journey from mountain streams, traveling hundreds of miles through the Delta and San Francisco Bay to the Pacific Ocean. If they survive the journey, they return as adults, migrating hundreds of miles inland back to where they were born to find the perfect place to spawn. There, they lay their eggs in the river gravel, continuing the cycle of life and helping ensure future generations of salmon.
