Homeless: Streets of Santa Barbara
Monday November 5, 2007
Since Santa Barbara is fairly close to Los Angeles, about an hour and a half on the freeway, 'stars' have always been seen around here. In fact one of the very first movie studios was in Santa Barbara, the good old Flying A.
 Quite a few celebs live in Montecito, too, which is a few miles south of SB. Everybody has celeb stories around here. No one really bothers anybody for photos or autographs, either. Sort of like bees, if you leave them alone, they'll leave you alone. (I ain't saying who the bees are, either!)
I did hear a 'story' from my neighbor that is the kind of thing I'm tempted to broadcast, though. A popular singer has appeared in Santa Barbara a few times in recent years. She went into a restaurant where 'neighbor's friend' works. Apparently, when approached by an employee to see where the singer wanted to be seated, without hearing the question the singer said something like, "Oh, please don't ask me for an autograph."If a celeb ever said that to me, I'd ask them why I'd ever want their autograph. With an attitude like the singer's, we just might be watching her fall from grace in a few more years. That does not make one the kind of performer that has a legion of faithful fans for life.Celebrity parents are always an interesting topic. I've seen a few, like Kathy Ireland (even prettier in person!) out skating with her little ones and she seems to be a really neat mom. She has done a lot of good, charitable things with her celebrity. She definitely leaves the planet someday a much better place.   It must be difficult being the child of a celeb. It's a lot to live up to when you're compared to your dads' movies and stardom. As far as females go, sometimes I see a photo of a mom holding her baby, mom's hair perfect, lipstick lined with precision, lovely dress with heels. Who does she think she's kidding? That is a photo op shot! In one particular photo, the mom looked like she was as nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room of rocking chairs. She looked as stiff as a board. The nanny grabbed that kid within seconds after the photographer finished up. Thank your lucky stars for not being in the limelight (if you aren't). If you get busted for DUI, get a divorce, or lose custody of your children, you'll get to smooth your ruffled feathers in private, without your pictures surrounding the check-out counters of stores everywhere!

It's November and that means time to vote.
 This election is a little bit different because it's for people already elected and/or appointed. Are Tenet, Rumsfeld, Cheney, and Bush guilty of using illegal torture policies in the war on terror?  Readers, VOTE !!! | | Posted by Lulublue at 8:17 PM - | |

It's one of those typos that give a chuckle along with the news:
900 Pounds Of Post Seized
11-01-2007 5:19 AM
(Indio, CA) -- U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents seized about 900 pounds of marijuana from a tractor-trailer yesterday at the Highway-111 checkpoint. Authorities say canine units alerted agents to metal containers in the trailer's flat bed discovering 48 bundles of marijuana worth about 700-thousand-dollars. The driver, tractor-trailer and marijuana were turned over to the Drug Enforcement Administration.<

My oven and stove were nice and clean when I began to cook a pizza yesterday evening. As it heated up, though, a horrible smell filled the air. A rat had apparently been going inside the appliance from the back and it smelled terrible. No pizza.
At about 1:30 a.m., a trap went off. I had trapped the pest behind the stove. Finally!
Now I am waiting for a pest control pro to come by to get me through this. This drama goes on but hopefully a big step was taken.
I got my '71 VW back today. I feel like I haven't had a car for about a month. I think it's time to sell the car. (That is not my car above, but it's a cool picture.) Or, maybe I should put a V-8 in mine, too, instead of selling it.
