Good question from Kratatoa--WTF? I didn't have time yesterday to read that article, and now it's gone.

Good to hear this. The other day I cranked up KTYD while fixing the kitchen faucet--long sets of the Eagles, Santana, Steve Miller and others that kept me from losing my patience over the discrepancies between the exploded diagram of the faucet and its actual parts and construction. Check out the two-CD soundtrack from "American Graffiti"; it has lots of great '50s and '60s stuff, plus some classic Wolfman Jack lead-ins and lead-outs.

Just got some take-out there Saturday, and have been patrons for many years. Great service and value.

"He has also worked on improving the recruitment and retention of personnel. 'We have a tremendous Human Resources department,' he said. 'We’ve worked hard to find top quality people … and it’s really happened. We have no recruiting problems whatsoever and we really don’t have any retention problems.' ”

Reminds me of when we lived next to Mission Creek about 14 years ago. During a raging storm, the apartment house owner came out and cut down a tree that fell into the creek and washed away. No disposal costs. Landlords--ya gotta love 'em.

This has drawn more commentary than any other issue lately--murders, rapes, meth labs, car rollovers, the election, health care reform, Michael Jackson, you name it. Amazing.
We used to live on the 800 block of W. Micheltorena, in the '80s and early '90s, and were flabbergasted by the resistance of some people on the hill (Calle Poniente, et al.) to having open park access along their streets to what was then called Las Positas Park. Now, I get it. They could see the camels' noses under the tent, and this was long before the park foundation got hold of the Jesuit property, now apparently known as Elings Park South.
I speak with some experience, as a former off-roader (a 250 four-stroke one-lung Benelli). NO. No motorcycles, no night lights, no amplified PA, none of that crap. No way, no how, not there. Ever. Spectator stands would be OK, with a loudmouth to do any announcing that may be necessary. Pedal-powered track riding should be enjoyed for itself; nobody needs some huckster screaming over a loudspeaker, and the kids should be doing something better after dark.

Carp's winless so far this season, right? Could it be a curse thrown upon them for refusing to get rid of all their ridiculous "Indian" imagery? I know that, in a small town, high school football is a quasi-sacred institution with which one doesn't mess lightly. However, there are truly sacred traditions that are much more powerful and mysterious. I'm just sayin'.

Indeed, the recent actions by the inbred management of the Botanic Garden has been shameful, to put it mildly. As dues-paying supporters, we should be able to nominate and vote upon members of the Board of Trustees. Failing that, I suppose we won't renew our membership when it expires.

Regarding the reporting bystanders...about 12-13 years ago we lived in an apt. on Alamar, and got a visit from the police. Our neighbor at the top of the stairs, a biologist, was watching the Coopers Hawks nesting in a big eucalyptus tree outside our building, and some passersby reported him as a possible peeping Tom (he had binocs).
Good intentions are appreciated, but instead of cowardly ratting out possible wrong-doers, please consider just asking them what they're doing; it'll save a lot of time and money better spent on real crime.
