About the only thing I could do or afford at one of those white tables, would be a cup of coffee, but having coffee with Arianna would certainly be a kick! Thank God she blogs cause I can't understand a word she says, when talking in her very heavy Greek accent, but for sure she writes a very informative daily on the internet. We all have allot to thank her for. She's living proof that with enough money and ambition you can achive anything in the USA, and especially Santa Barbara....

If there was a chicken farm up in the hills NW of Santa Barbara, and another west of Santa Maria with the winds blowing south west into Santa Barbara, and winds blowing East into Santa Maria, and they were called Greka Farms and they really stunk to high heaven you can bet Greka Farms would then be shut down, and shut down over night.. The Problem here is Oil from our county ground doesn't stink, but something does on the County Board, and it smells of money and the good old boy system of Republican politics pure and simple....If there's an inithative, and a want, Greka would have been a closed Oil Farm long ago, probably after the first spill.. Yup it smells like bad mangement at Greka, and county board members who are in denial of whats happening. Were being held up and there's no Sheriff watching the Bank!

I Know, I know, but it's very interesting to me to see the city spend huge amounts of beutifacation monies on projects like sidewalk repair on Chase Palm Park, and then add in planter boxes at who knows what cost in lew of education funds and teachers salaries.... It seems to me the City has lost touch as to what its real priorities are, especially when it comes to how it spends it's money and the School Budget! ... But yeah, lets make it wonderful for those day-trippers from LA and Oxnard.

This is just GREAT! But will the taxi guys be able to pick people up at the curb, ( RED ZONE ) or will the SB Police give them a ticket if they do pick up at the curb? Thus confusing the general public, and making a Taxi Driver vulnerable to the whims of the Police, rather then serve his public as his permit allows him to do! ...Just so you know, the police are not cab friendly... So please don't hail a cab in a RED ZONE...Go to a yellow loading zone if you can find one, the cops seem to give them a pass there, as there is a lack of lucrative active legal city cab stands downtown. How about a Norman Rockwell picture of a "SB Cabby," getting a red zone ticket for trying to put bread on the table...Now that's Art!

It's clear to me that Doreen Farr is the heavy and most qualified candidate for the people of Santa Barbara, County. The only other I know of is Steve Pappas,Didn't he own and run a restaurant that's now closed up near Santa Yenez? Lots of choices, but Farr is my candidate..

My Vote was for Doreen Farr! Why because I didn't believe for a minute that Pappas was an independent. It was a Republican reuse that almost won on the idea that if you vote for me because I not anything then I'll provide for you what Republicans and Democrat's can't. In short, I'm the Greek Geek, school board something sent to you from Zeus to save the people of Santa Barbara County from their Athenian ways.... Sorry Steve but no wooden Trojan horse's for this kid from Chicago, who's had one or two to many shot's of ozao in wonderful "Greek Town" in my day. Nice try, and you almost pulled it off.. Lucky for us others also saw through your political scam, but it really goes to show you how unplugged-in most voters really are when it comes to local elections. Thanks though, for running a clean campaign...The people have spoken, so now it's time to end the saga.
