On Sour Grapes in Wine Country?

Posted on October 19 at 8:12 a.m.

Good column MK, as always. By the way, regarding Piocho, Happy Canyon Creek drains the massive Los Padres watershed up Happy Canyon east of Alisos Canyon Road on up into the national forest, and Santa Agueda Creek, which runs from Sedgwick to below the bluff off Baseline on the east side of Rancho Estates, funnels most of the water from Figueroa Mountain. Both are jaw-droppingly scary rivers in big water years like 1969, when they prove just how efficient H2O can be at carving stuff. They meet on the south side of the old Rancho Piocho (now owned by Tom Barrack; owned in the 1960's by CSC founder Fletcher Jones, who called it Westerly Stud, owned way back by the Armour meatpacking family from Chicago, hence Armour Ranch Road) pretty close to the property Ellen De Generes had for a while, and together tumble into the SY river at Hwy 154 shortly thereafter.

Mr. Duncan was, of course, Ms. Marshall's Valley planning czar. He wants his job back. A lot of people disliked the way planning decisions were made at midnight during Duncan's regime, after the weary crowds gave up and went home. Doreen Farr will win in a walk if she'd promise never to appoint Lansing to anything.

On Pappas Ads Bunk

Normal companies offer buyout packages to pare staff. Some compassionate employers even tighten their own belts first (maybe dock the yacht?). The shoot 'em in the parking lot thing went out with the 60's. The money saved in aggregate salaries of the good people run off is surely more than the circulation losses. More delusional spin from the new Queen of Mean--Surprise! 10 more reasons to cancel the N-P.

Maybe Ms. Farr refused to dignify the travesty of a paid lobbyist posing as a journalist.

Great story. Don't miss the Deadly Syndrome at The Roxy, Sunday, March 23. Their last show there was spectacular: http://blog.filter-mag.com/filter/2007/0...
