Hey There,

Could you please post a map of the fire boundaries? This would be the most important information you can provide, especially if you label zones that are evacuated as well as those under warning. This very simple graphic could save lives and be very much appreciated.

Thank You!

On First Official Tea Fire Press Release

I forgot to follow up: Hank you're wrong. Sorry! It was Pabst Blue Ribbon (PBR) and Schlitz Dark. HA! Yuk. I can smell it just thinking of it.

I used to waitress at Serranito's (1981-1987), but I did manage to get my undergrad degree, despite all the fun. I miss it too. The owners were like family to me, and people still stop me on the street and remember me serving them chicken and broccoli flautas! Here's some trivia for you: What was the combination of beer in those famous pitchers of "half and half" we served? I'll check back later and give you the answer....

On Remembrance of Isla Vista Eateries Past

I did not read Ms. McCaw's rant as I no longer get the paper. But I have some idea what was said from reading Nick's blog and Craig Smith's entry.

I am one of many educated readers that submitted legitimate, intelligent, accurate and meaningful letters to the editor and never got published. I quit my subscription a long time before this fiasco, about the time when Armstrong came on board and began printing only letters that were favorable to his view.

One thing Ms. McCaw doesn't get is that many of us miss the hardcopy local daily newspaper. No matter how far technology has come, I still like to flip through the pages with my coffee in the morning. If she is implying that her subscriptions have gone down because of technology, she is living in fantasyland.

I will be the first to purchase a subscription when the paper gets real, gets fair, gets community-based, re-hires all the former journalists, apologizes to Roberts, and starts publishing community submitted comment. I suppose that means when McCaw and her cronies quit being so righteous and arrogant - and from her latest rant, I am not holding out much hope.
