driving around after the fire and rain storms is a mindblower..I'm almost afraid to see the Olive Mill and Parra Grande neighborhoods..old Montecito wiped out by the slides...
but Carpinteria has enough damage to keep me occupied...nobody got killed here so the damage is mostly tons of mud and giant downed trees at the creeks

| before wipe out |
I went to the Carp State beach at the end of Linden when the trains were running...train depot was bustling!
 |
| after wipe out |
there were a few campers scattered about but some areas were just covered in mud...the creek was pretty much swept clean of reeds and the banks were widened..only mud and wood and debris now....
and oh yeah all those native plants that replaced the ice plant on the banks were wiped out away..well most most anyway....
so will there be more tax dollars wasted to plant natives or will these conservationists just let Mother Nature grow what She wants, where She wants..
and leave us to tend Her garden

Speaking of wipe outs: It has just been confirmed that News Mess Managing Editor Don Katich has turned in his resignation! He will apparently be working from home for a few weeks until McCuckoo finds another sucker, er, editor. I wonder what finally did him in? Was it the union seeking to reorganize or did McCuckoo’s crazy antics finally send him packing? Or did he end up taking the fall for that heinously homophobic headline that appeared in the NP a few weeks ago. No one’s saying. And I’ll bet no one ever will!
whoa Gina!! awesome
