- Program Note: It has come to our attention that the typographical errors issue has unexpectedly returned with the proverbial vengeance. This problem does not appear when we internally view and test the newsletter on various platforms. The issue arises only when the publication is sent out and then opened in Microsoft Outlook, an increasingly outdated application. Should you see any of these glitches in your version of the newsletter, please simply scroll to the bottom of the page and click the “View it in your browser” link, which will fix the problem. Once again, our sincerest apologies.

City of Santa Barbara thoroughly obliterate the otherwise fine line between persistence and idiocy when they convince the court to let them rebuild their homes – incinerated in a wildfire – on top of an active landslide. Yeah, those look like locusts to me too. I’m sure they’ll fly on by.
