  17-05-2025 04:01 via ocregister.com
  
  LOS ANGELES — More than a quarter of the way into the season, the Angels are still waiting for Luis Rengifo.
  Rengifo was one of the Angels’ more productive players last season, but he’s been so disappointing so far this season that he’s been relegated to a part-time role recently.
  He was not in the starting lineup in three of the previous four games. On Wednesday night, manager Ron Washington declined to even use him as a pinch-hitter in what seemed like a good spot, when

  State of nuts

  Why we have four state nuts
  California’s nut farms are a large part of its agricultural economy. Those farms grow 80% of the world’s almonds and 75% of the world’s walnuts.

• One thing OC’s congressional delegation delivered in 2023 and 2024: Renaming post offices

  Orange County’s House delegation had just four of their bills signed into law between 2023 and 2025.
  All four renamed post offices.
  That means the rate at which bills introduced by the six-member delegation — 201 in total — became law during the 118th Congress was a mere 1.99%.
  But experts say that’s not unusual, and it doesn’t necessarily mean local lawmakers were ineffective.
