9:30 am – it has been astonishingly quiet, after yesterday. However, just now, SF is reporting another major rain band has reached that city. Are we next? Will check back in later.

12:30 am – busy night out there for CHP. In addition to the below, there was a TC of a car JNO JPB with a rock. Involved left her VW bug in the middle of the lane, locked her car, left her purse & cell in the front seat,  and went to Esalen.

Information
11:31 PM 3 [3] MY570 – SB SR1, 1-2 MI JNO LUCIA (MPM 23) – LARGE ROCKS BLOCKING BOTH LNS // CT NOTIFIED

This is what The Chimney looked like earlier, JSO Limekiln, when we knew it was going to go.

  • A little medicinal humor mixed with a dose of history to start the day.

    In the late 1800s the automobile was dubbed "ostentatious displays of wealth" - by U.S. President Woodrow Wilson and were met with cries of "Get a horse!" as they obtrusively hissed their way down the street.

    Disney's "Get a horse!"

    Synopsis:

    The film begins as a typical 1920s black and white Mickey Mouse cartoon, with Mickey Mouse walking from his house and spotting Horace Horsecollar pulling a hay wagon with all their friends playing music. He hops on the wagon and helps Minnie Mouse and Clarabelle Cow onto the wagon. Just then, Peg-Leg Pete shows up in his jalopy, his horn bellowing "Make way for the future!" Pete spots Minnie and gives her a flirty gaze, but Mickey puts Clarabelle in the gaze in Minnie's place much to Pete's disgust and horror. Angry at being pranked, Pete snatches Minnie and rams his car into the wagon, sending Mickey flying towards the screen. Seeing Mickey bounce off the fabric, Pete hurls him and Horace harder into the screen until they burst through the screen and land in the colored, CGI-animated modern world.

    Be well, Be Safe and "make way for the future"
