Because that is what he was cited for that led to the search.

I learned early in my career at UCSB not to stand on the edge of the bluffs, especially when peaking on Purple Pyramids. Fences are an aesthetic eyesore, and only serve to prevent the cleansing of the gene pool.

Junkfoodjunky is mis-informed in regards to the County's recognition of lots in the Naples area. What really happened is that the County adopted an official map that delineated all of the lots within the Naples anitquated map area that had been legally conveyed in compliance with State subdivision law. This map was based on exhaustive research of historical records of deed transfers and not some brochure.

Serranitos, with flautas that drooped over both sides of the plate, was definitely the best, and as I recall you always tried to get the round table in the back. Sun and Earth was good for cheap bean and cheese burritos. And don't forget The Rhythm Cafe.

And install grab bars in your shower! Yes, the correct word is "temblor." Perhaps the editor used to work at the News-Suppress.

I'm not sure when any store that was not a "mom & pop" store started being called a big box store, but I always thought Target was department store similar to Sears, K-Mart, etc.

Also, I live in Goleta and have never experienced "horrendous traffic" caused by Camino Real Marketplace. Perhaps Botany is referring to the rush hour traffic that results from all the commuters driving home to Goleta from Santa Barbara.

JL, to address that problem local governments would have to allow the construction of more housing, but you know how popular that is, especially when homeowners who live on recently-converted agricultural land loudly complain about any attempts to convert agricultural land in their back yard and spout off about the need to protect our food growing areas. Hypocrisy at its best.

Actually what the Press Democrat reported is that Cat Ayala of Santa Rosa, Ayala's mother, said detectives had indicated her daughter had been at a party Friday night with friends and that they had split off at about 11 p.m. when Ayala said she had to go to the bathroom. So there is no evidence of panic and falling over a cliff. Yes, let's leave the kids alone so we can have more sexual assaults, alcohol related accidents, 911 calls, etc., so more tax dollars can go to support their "right" to party.

Not sure when loonpt lived in IV for four years but I lived there for about seven years both during and after college. Like loonpt I partied, studied, graduated, etc., but the place had a much different vibe back then. Now, at least for some students, it's all about getting drunk and trashing the place.

Also, students, if they are renters, do not pay any property tax. That's paid by the owners, and many of the properties are owned by people who bought them prior to Prop. 13 taking effect, so the assessed valuation is very low and so are the property taxes.
