P20160101047-1 Homer was so excited. He couldn't believe his Dad was taking him beaver hunting. I mean, he'd talked to girls before, but, had never actually hunted them. Homer wondered what the limit was if there was one. How many beavers can you have in your possession at one time? Is there a size limit? Are there different kinds of beavers?

Oildale (Bakersfield) Standard School Auditorium (# 2439) I almost missed this building. I was headed out of Bakersfield, going through the Oildale area which is mainly older single-story businesses and residences, when I happened to notice this building that was quite elegant for the area. Turning around and coming back, not only was I amazed by the architecture, but also what seemed to be an odd name: “Standard School Auditorium.”

It was very hard to find information on this, particularly since I’m in the city of Bakersfield and used that in searching. The auditorium was built in 1937 with Public Works Administration funds and is still in use. Oildale was once a separate unincorporated area just north of Bakersfield, and apparently the school district is named Standard School District because Standard Oil donated the land for the first school of the district.

Oildale (Bakersfield) Standard School Auditorium gargoyle? (# 2440) A little more detail of the figures on the top of the building (see adjacent picture). They’re not quite gargoyles, but I couldn’t think of a better word since they look rather frightening. If you zoom in, you can see that they seem to have their hands on globes.

KCM / honoring (belatedly) Native populations (# 2435) Oh, we forgot.... there were people living here before the European settlers.

<u><a href="https://kernarts.org/event/kern-county-museum-dedicates-owtsan-house/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Owtsan House</a></u> was dedicated this year (2023) to honor the history of the Native populations that lived in the area for thousands of years before the occupation by Mexicans and then Americans.

KCM / Chevron handmade redwood pump (# 2432) A handmade <u><a href="https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=26118" rel="noreferrer nofollow">redwood pumping unit</a></u> made in 1979 for the museum by Chevron to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Standard Oil of California. Per the webpage it was salvaged from a pump that was still in use in the 1920’s.

KCM / historic drilling rig (# 2405) Seen from the section of the park that focuses on houses and small businesses, in the distance a replica of a wooden drilling rig of the sort that would have been used at the turn of the last century. The replica was made by volunteers of retired oil-field workers, with the assistance of oil industry companies. Kern county has four distinct oil fields (all large), and is one of the top oil producing areas in the U.S.

The webpage for the <u><a href="https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=25692" rel="noreferrer nofollow">placard</a></u> has pictures of such derricks in use in the field.
