I've forgotten the Chumash word for the stars, sprinkled among the sky people. Some of the Chumash may remember them, now that they have been permanently eliminated by the massive lighting of the casino which runs 24/7. This could be the beginning of a great new legend.
Also, where is the representation of the slot machine, the new god of the Chumash people?

Great pics Ray!
This area needs to burn. In the meantime, the feds and the state stimulate the economy by using all those unnecessary air fire-fighting resources . . . taxpayer money literally up in smoke. It's a true "win-win" situation.

" The area is the one remaining portion of the San Rafael Wilderness that escaped the Zaca Fire two summers ago."
It has been reported that SB County fire officials are seeking donations of dry sagebrush & other chaparral species since our recent fires have greatly depleted local supplies.

Relevé Unlimited is the same company who tried to establish a huge rock music festival on the same ranch a couple of months ago, but were turned down by the board of supervisors for obvious reasons: way too big, crowd control, etc.
Now, they're at it again: thar's gold in them there fans, and they aim to get a good chunk of it. Who gave them permission to do this? Certainly the local residents and neighbors were not consulted. Is this really legal? What happens if only 20,000 of the Great Unwashed show up on this narrow, winding, 2 lane country lane?
30,000?, 50,000?
There's a blimp hovering overhead already, the road is lined with TV trucks. Let the circus begin....

Yes, it was "El Gaucho" - certainly a little more original than "Daily Nexus". Total student population was 3,000, parking fee was $5 a semester, and we could park where North Hall (is that now Girvetz Hall?) now stands.
Oh, most girls were insulted if you asked them for a date less than a week in advance.

If this fire behaves simularly to the Coyote and Sycamore Canyon fires, expect it to lay low this morning, burn up into the mountains, then come back with a vengeance later in the afternoon and evening. Wind conditions are everything, as far as what the fire will do.
A true force of nature, and a fact of life, living in Southern California. We can only hope and pray there will not be any fatalities.

It's a _corporate chain_ for Christ's sake! Have you ever tried asking any of the sales staff a technical question?
Ah, for the good old days of Audio-Vision....

"Oh poor you! These guys go fight so we can have the luxury of being stuck in traffic. Traffic gets bad, go home, pull over and phone a friend... you have that option."
No, actually, I did not "have that option". I was on my way to a doctor's appointment that had taken weeks to schedule. My guess is that if the incident had slowed down your quiche delivery or whatever, you'd be singing a very different song. Get out of your idiotic dream mode and wake up to the real world.
As far as "guys fighting" goes, that issue is not going to be solved by kooks on a freeway bridge. That issue was addressed in past elections (the country got exactly what it deserved by putting W in power) -- and is being addressed today. This country is theoretically governed by rule of law, and permitting every mentaly or emotionally -disturbed nut case to bring the community to a stop is not going to improve things.

Yeah, "santabarbarasand", what a grand idea! Anyone with something on their minds who wants to make a statement, get a gun, block an overpass, and stop all traffic for thousands upon thousands of people. It's a democracy, after all! We could do this _every_ rush hour! How grand!
Oh, as for using side streets, you apparently stayed in bed during this fiasco. The "side streets" became parking lots for ast least three hours yesterday -- nobody was moving -- including emergency vehicles.
Still, a small price to pay to let this Wacko Of The Day make his point, right?

They should think about reviving the menu that was offered by the long-defunct Plessa's Tavern -- truly wonderful cooking featuring their baked Pismo clams on the half shell au gratin. Man, I still mourn for that place every time I drive by Pismo.
