College of the Desert

Absolutely.

And I will say, I mean, I credit... gci for helping me hone a lot of these research skills on land and obviously agronomy and stories that we've done because it served as a valuable tool in doing a good amount of research on geology which is not an area i've written about a lot spent a good amount of time one day with a A college professor out here at College of the Desert who teaches geology.

And I asked him, you know, what I'm having my character do.

Is this in any way possible or doable? Am I going to look like a total idiot? Or am I kind of on the right track? I had a Joshua Tree educator and an expert.

And they built some other desert cottages in Rancho Mirage, where you are right now, more towards the freeway.

Toward the 10 and toward the, what is it called, College of the Desert.

The

COD.

I referenced some of the research.

I mean, I had a great talk with the guy Richard Burns over at College of the Desert.

He's a professor of geology over there, and we had a great meeting and a great lunch to ensure that I wasn't being a total idiot when it came to talking about desert geology and the possibilities of what my character was trying to accomplish on his land.

Also had a great education.

he sold that so his son could go to ...

It was College of the Desert, wasn't it, Bill?

Oh, wow.

Yeah, he went down in, um, College of the Desert in Palm Desert.

Yeah, yeah.

Wow.

Oh, it is.

It is.

I had, I had thought about that a lot, but, um, just with, with my relationship with my girlfriend and stuff just getting a little serious, I, I'm not quite sure I'm gonna continue with that, but, uh, but I have been, uh, looking into, um, like law as far as like, uh, I, I've been, you know, completely figured out where, you know, there's the correctional systems, there's patrol officers, things like that.

I am taking a, uh, introduction to administration of justice at the College of the Desert.

I think I'm gonna try out the, uh, peace officer training course.

Who's your instructor at COD?

Ah, crap.

It's like Cook and something.

Um, uh, what's the name of that street that's next to, that runs alongside, um, College of the Desert? Um, I'm really bad with street names.

Is it Fred Waring?
