Carlos Alcala's three-dot columns are custom-created for readers of regional editions in Placer and Sacramento counties. His emphasis is on the historical background and the contemporary happenings - both quirky and everyday - which give these areas their unique characters. A unique character himself, Carlos specializes in attempts at reader participation and (attempts at) humor and wordplay. He has worked for The Bee (or at least drawn a paycheck) since 1992.
