James Ussher calculated that we are around 6,000 years old. The question is whether Bishop Ussher could go wrong.

As the Bishop was an official in a church that persecuted some of my ancestors, I've never been inclined to take his writings as holy scripture.

This is in Riverside County. The Jurupa Mountains are more like hills.

I think Taco Bell had something to do with the Jurupa mtns, but my memory is clouded by fatigue.
