Ozzie and Harriet...

As a rule I don't pick on old women...

but Harriet Miller is the exception. Miller was elected mayor of Santa Barbara in 1995 and served until retirement in 2002. She was mayor on 9/11...she was responsible for the horrendous carousel and skateboard park. She is cozy with the NewsPress, a mommy figure to Wendy, and who knows what gifts Wendy lavished on her while she was mayor. Obviously not a gift certificate for a visit to the beauty shop or a facelift or wax job....
During her tenure on the Santa Barbara City Council, she voted for State Water and Desal....together! State water opened the sluice gates to more development...A few folks on the city council back then voted the same way..now they are on the Citizens Planning Association, who are anti-growth and want your money to help fight development!
Now I hear she is being honored for a Lifetime Achievement Award...I give her an award..for the worst mayor in the lifetime history of Santa Barbara...

Hal Conklin presented her award. He was her partner in crime in the halcyon days of the1990s..

Congrats Harriet!

Two elderly women were out driving in a large car - both could barely see over the dashboard. As they were cruising along they came to an intersection. The stoplight was red but they just went on through. The woman in the passenger seat thought to herself, "I must be losing it, I could have sworn we just went through a red light." After a few more minutes they came to another intersection and the light was red again and again they went right though.
This time the woman in the passenger seat was almost sure that the light had been red but was really concerned that she was losing it. She was getting nervous and decided to pay very close attention to the road and the next intersection to see what was going on. At the next intersection, sure enough, the light was definitely red and they went right through and she turned to the other woman and said, "Mildred! Did you know we just ran through three red lights in a row! You could have killed us!" Mildred turned to her and said "Oh, am I driving?"
