The Good Life

Oh, the good life

Full of fun, seems to be the ideal

is KTYD headed for the same fate as the News-Press? Oblivion? they seem to be adrift at sea with no sails...and they play KISS alot!! that's not rocknroll baby! Hope they get it together...

it looks like Montecito is next in line for the highway project. I'd like to take this opportunity to tell you well-heeled folks what to expect...but before I do, why don't you take a few pictures of the old highway and take one last look around, for soon, it will be gone forever...I'm sorry.

What Will Happen:

Caltrans and various contractors will be invading your neighborhoods with fearsome heavy equipment...if you like falling asleep to the sound of crickets chirping or the ocean waves crashing, then you're gonna have some tough nights ahead

They need to break up the asphalt..the highway is asphalt over dirt...simple and sufficient...but the new highway will be tons of rebar, asphalt and cement over asphalt...CALTRANS has a cement factory by Padaro and Loon Park...have you seen it? do you like it?? Caltrans doesn't care but the bright spot is pretty girls working on the highway

do you like trees? POOF!! all gone!

the white concrete traffic barriers will be put in place by teams of workers and big forklifts...sometimes they will stack the barriers on the side of the road, higher than they can stack shit in Texas!

When the winds kick up, it'll look like the Dust Bowl in Montecito...and giant highway signs will be erected, some attached to the bridge..and then more signs, everywhere..you won't have time to drive, you'll  be too busy reading...

so, for a few years patience will be a virtue, but until then...

you can kiss the good life good-bye!
