Circumstances prevent a smooth flow of copy at this juncture. Hopefully, things will be back to normal in four to six weeks.

Goleta History

How did we get the name Goleta...and what does it mean? A Goleta is a schooner - and if you go to goletahistory.com you will spend many a fascinating hour learning all about our wonderful "good land".

Not only is the area rich in history but the articles are illustrated with a plethora of photos and drawings. I've lived on the Central Coast, and particularly in Goleta for a long time, and I am astonished at what I've learned in just a brief visit to this website. There are other links that seem to be worth our attention too.

Your Humor for Today

Received from a friend. Origin unknown, but good for a chuckle or two.  Sign over a Gynecologist's Office: "Dr. Jones, at your cervix."    In a Podiatrist's office: "Time wounds all heels."   On a Septic Tank Truck: Yesterday's Meals on Wheels   At an Optometrist's Office: "If you don't see what you're looking for, you've come to the right place." On a Plumber's truck: "We repair what your husband fixed."   On another Plumber's truck: "Don't sleep with a drip. Call your plumber." At a Tire Shop in Milwaukee : "Invite us to your next blowout."   On an Electrician's truck: "Let us remove your shorts."   In a Non-smoking Area: "If we see smoke, we will assume you are on fire and take appropriate action."   On a Maternity Room door: "Push. Push. Push."   At a Car Dealership: "The best way to get back on your feet -miss a car payment."   Outside an Exhaust Shop: "No appointment necessary. We hear you coming."   In a Veterinarian's waiting room: "Be back in 5 minutes. Sit! Stay!"   At the Electric Company "We would be delighted if you send in your payment. However, if you don't, you will be delighted."    In a Restaurant window: "Don't stand there and be hungry; come on in and get fed up."   In the front yard of a Funeral Home: "Drive carefully. We'll wait."   And the best one for last............ Sign on the back of another Septic Tank Truck: "Caution - This Truck is full of Political Promises"

Standards

Happened to see these two gems of womanhood in an article and was so impressed with their fashion sense and femininity that I thought you might like to share. I copied the photos and noted that one of them is a "celebrity" and the other is her inseparable best buddy and a wannabee. They just went out to get a morning coffee. I decided not to go back and get the names. You should also know that money is not in short supply.

A Nation of Laws?

If you break the law in America you will be punished. We now know that exempt from the law are the President, Vice-President, Cabinet Member's, Governor's, Congressperson's, Politically Appointed Judge's, State Assemblyperson's, County Supervisor's, Mayor's, Councilmember's, Lobbyist's, Celebrities, the Media, all Illegal Persons, certain ethnic groups, and a whole lot more but space prevents mentioning them. We also know that the Judiciary at all levels ignores the Constitution and mandated laws without fear of disciplinary action. Regulation says a Non-Citizen California Driver's License can only be issued after legal presence is verified. Obviously not any more. Our State and Federal governments now make laws specifically to break the law. They are telling law-abiding citizens that there's nothing you can do about it. You can't appeal to elected officials to correct the condition. They created and support it! It's time to understand that criminals are in charge of this nation of laws and they are determined to overthrow it. If you have an issue with this message you are vastly uninformed about the state of this Union; and if you happen to be an honest member of any of the aforementioned categories - we haven't heard from you!
