Last Thursday’s was another great, incisive, and amusing column by your terrific writer, Nick Welsh. This Irish style of knowing the facts and hitting hard with them while keeping a smile on one’s face ought to be making Nick a fish in a bigger pond. We are so lucky to have him here in Santa Barbara. I always look for his byline first before reading anything by your other fine reporters.

Thank you, Independent.
