It's not the pale moon that excites me / That thrills and delights me, oh no / It's just the nearness of you
so I see the Chumash are giving back to the community again, this time with a gambler who drove his Camaro into a car and killed a young woman and her two children..on Highway 154, the Chumash Highway of Death
"The initial investigation reveals the male driver of a black Camaro traveling westbound crossed over the double yellow lines and hit a Chevy Volt traveling eastbound where the two vehicles spun out and rested on the shoulder"
so what was the scenario? investigation not over yet so speculation is easy...gambler-POS-punk-loser drives back from the casino in his Camaro after drinks and poker, crosses the double yellow line into oncoming traffic by the Cold Spring bridge, and crashes head-on, taking out the smaller car and killing the woman and her kids
and this beautiful woman was a very talented musician from Solvang with so much to give to the world..Vanessa Bley...just find her and listen..and her father Paul was a pioneer jazz pianist

but that goddam casino is a plague

Burning Down the House
Baby, what did you expect? Gonna burst into flame
so some people are trying to blame the Camp fire on the California politicians instead of PG&E...one such guy is Rat, er, pardon me..Ron Fink over at Noozhawk..he is/was also on the shady anti-gov't non-profit SB County Taxpayers Association
Ron Fink-Noozhawk: Recently, the Wall Street Journal pointed out that PG&E had been required to divert hundreds of millions of operation-and-maintenance funds to build renewable energy projects as a means of solving weather-related global warming. This may have impacted their ability to properly maintain thousands of miles of electrical transmission lines in the area they serve.
well no not really...
the facts:
The 2017 fires are yet another example of the broken corporate culture and habitual behavior of PG&E negligence. Instead of spending the substantial revenue it generates from its services (PG&E reported nearly $18 billion of revenue in 2016 alone) for PG&E wildfire resources, they chose to divert this money towards corporate profits for its PG&E stock shareholders, and hefty bonuses for its executives (PG&E reported nearly $1.5 billion of profit in 2016). For example, in 2007, corporate whistle-blowers found that PG&E planned to spend $5 million it had raised from residents to replace a segment of pipeline in San Bruno county that had been determined as being dangerous. In lieu of replacing the pipeline, PG&E repurposed the money, and ultimately chose to pay nearly $5 million in bonuses to PG&E executives in 2009. In 2010, as noted above, a deadly fire resulted from poorly maintained gas pipelines in San Bruno claimed lives and destroyed buildings. Doubtlessly other examples of PG&E’s mismanagement of its finances to focus entirely on corporate profit and paying its executives would exist if PG&E provided more transparency into its vast operations.
WSJ INVESTIGATION
PG&E Knew for Years Its Lines Could Spark Wildfires, and Didn’t Fix Them
Documents obtained by The Wall Street Journal show that the utility has long been aware that parts of its 18,500-mile transmission system were dangerously outdated
Pacific Gas and Electric Co. diverted more than $100 million in gas safety and operations money collected from customers over a 15-year period and spent it for other purposes, including profit for stockholders and bonuses for executives, according to a pair of state-ordered reports released Thursday.
PG&E wasn't forced to invest in renewable energy.....these threats of power shut-offs are the result of mismanagement and are not the way to run a public utility
so maybe it's time for the gov't to step in and clean house

Don't Be Afraid of the Dark
it might be scary til your eyes adjust
What a beautiful, cold and windy October evening under an almost-full Hunter's moon..I was watching the news earlier and according to KEYT, I should be worried about sharks at Santa Claus and Padaro beaches..and a forced power outage if the Santana winds kick up....
some doofus with a drone got a pic of a shark off Santa Claus beach and he's worried about a Conception-like disaster if swimmers start getting killed...this guy is just looking for attention because no such a thing will ever happen..you can't even compare a shark swimming to the Conception boat fire..the guy is a dummy..Chief Brody would be ashamed of him
-Swimming and surfing in an ocean filled with sharks is possible to do safely. The important thing is to use common sense when doing so. Sharks are at the top of the food chain in the ocean and must be respected...they've been here for millions of years!-
the only shark you need to be aware of at Santa Claus beach is me, baby
next thing I gots to be afraid of is a power outage, forced by the utility companies if the devil winds kick up...SCE and PG and E want to make sure they aren't blamed again if a fire starts in Fillmore and spreads to Santa Barbara...ok but I see no sense in shutting off my utilities just to save your corporate ass...try some preventive maintenance from a respected sub-contractor if one exists...
UPDATE: they shut the power off and still fires are raging in northern and southern California!
the private sector likes to cut corners to make more money, even if they burn your town down!
