Elyse - I LOVE YOU TO PIECES FOR DOING THIS! You have helped me in the past with the 5 or 6 doz. rescue dogs I've rescued....oh, to know the bliss and glow of a RESCUE DOG! they are so grateful. I love the YouTube video of what you're doing...I loved your shop in Montecito, I love it even more now on the Mesa...and I love you forever for doing this....everyone who wonders about price - believe me, it costs a BUNCH to rescue a dog, I've pulled them out of pounds right and left, you pay the adoption fee yourself, the med/vet fee yourself, and you're lucky if you get 5 cents. You just feel grateful a little life is saved. Elyse! this is just the best, you go big time, and good on you! big love, Hillary

Sam, what you have done not only for the Bowl, but the entire community, will be ever imprinted in Santa Barbara history. Congratulations on a fantastic job well done! I, too, can't wait to hear your music again...& see you on the beach!

when the humidity drops, why can't the back country be off limits to people?

"40% contained" means the fire is less than half contained? And yet mandatory evacuations have been 'downgraded" to "evacuation alert" so that people can "repopulate" their homes?. Moving back into areas of "evacuation alert" still means you have to be ready to leave, doesn't it? Why is everyone moving back into alert areas and unpacking, when this fire is not fully contained? I don't get this. And there is no up to date map, or any information that I can find - anywhere - that shows what is going on as of this moment. A little frustrating.

Hoping to get this discussion back on course...I am the one who was mentioned in an earlier blog re: fireworks and pets...on a New Years eve when some kids set off fireworks in my neighborhood - that I was not prepared for - my beloved dog jumped an impossible fence and died of a heart attack...(vet opinion, knowing her condition) ...I had no preparation (never left her alone July 4, and had to give her meds)...and after being out shortly on NY Eve, she was gone...I did not find her for 2 months, she had crawled into a bush and laid down and died. After one month of looking and crying and weeping, and sleepless nights, I ended up in a doctor's office. This all happened because someone else was "having fun." I hope this party was worth it...because the people who were not prepared, such as I was not prepared, who have lost their pets, are grieving in a way that is not fathomable. After I recovered, I researched this - and you cannot know how many pets end up dead because of fireworks, run over on freeways and streets, the shelters are full across the country on July 5 and January 1. Most of us who know our pets are sensitive to this chaos do prepare. The blame in this situation, I believe, goes to the agency that gave this party-host the permit. They are to blame for not notifying the public, in newspaper postings and post offices, and wherever possible so that the public can know and prepare. It should be a requirement. Happy Birthday, Mr. Edgecomb, I hope your one-night celebration was worth it. And those of you who are still looking for your pets, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

This FABULOUS! And...at a time when everything seems so negative - a non-profit does this beautiful thing for the arts. What a great story. Thank you, Hutton Foundation! Thank you!

This reminds me of the time someone on the roof of the 1129 (San Marcos) building (all offices leased by SIMA), reached through the slates of my office window and stole my lawyer's laptop computer. When I called SIMA to tell them about 1) the incident, 2) people from the street accessing the roof and 3) would they please fix the latch on the windows that wouldn't lock, the response from the SIMA agent was, "PAGE 2, PARAGRAPH 3, ARTICLE 2, SECTION 1, OF YOUR LEASE, READ IT! YOU TOOK THE PLACE 'AS IS!'"
I was floored. My response was - "Wow, can't you even say you are sorry it happened?"
In response to the statement that SIMA is so unpopular, a previous Indy story quoted a SIMA representative saying the reason they are unpopular is "who likes to pay rent?" This is BS. There are many businesses in town who love paying reasonable rent, there are great landlords and SIMA ain't one of them. (I have an office in the Balboa Bldg. now, and the management is fabulous)...How SIMA built an empire of such nasty people takes real talent.

Hughes Morton was probably the gentlest, kindest, neatest human being in the world....I send my love to Cece, Jamie and Caitlin...I send my tears and admiration to them all. I am grateful the notice about this beautiful man makes mention of what he lost the battle with...it is time it comes out...because so many of us who have been in these pits know we need to talk about it and compare notes, and help each other...there are negative doctors and negative meds out there, I know firsthand.... I send my love to Hughes Morton's whole family, and all of his friends who grieve now, including me, bigtime.
Love, Hillary
