Ed Lang Syne - Ed Lang Syne: Just think, in 2005, 1984 will be old enough to drink. There certainly were a lot of people in Santa Barbara who were happy to be able to drink in 2004. It was a time to both, toast successes and drown sorrows.

Heel the Ocean - Heel the Ocean: So, on Friday, the dedicated staff put their noses to the ground, and surveyed women’s shoes to see how high the heel stood off the ground. That nose-to-the-ground position (worms-eye view, so to speak) turned out to be a good way to make heel height determinations.

A Full Ed of Hair - A Full Ed of Hair: Yesterday, the dedicated staff of edhat.com was on hair-color safari. We were trying to get to the root of hair color choices in Santa Barbara. This is, after all, the West Coast, which has the sunshine, and the girls all get so tan and blonde. Anyone with a TV knows that this is true. Just look at the girls on Bay Watch.

We wanted to know more about M-Los creation, but the only information we could get from the Goleta Valley Historical Society was a very cheerful holiday message on their phone answering machine.

Bikes, Bikes, Everywhere - Bikes, Bikes, Everywhere: if Rain Man ever drove his car slowly in the driveway over to the Francisco Torres dorm at UCSB, there is no question what he would do. He would see the ocean of bicycles that haphazardly cover the entire front area of the dorm, and he would count. And if Rain Man would count it, then so would we.

Cell-elf Centered? - Cell-elf Centered?: This weekend we went to coffee shops. You know the those people who hang out there. They are sitting close enough for you to lean over and touch them (or hit them), and yet they feel totally comfortable talking as loud as can be about their test results from the lab, last nights date, and who their favorite person is on Survivor. Its stuff that doesnt even interest the most voyeuristic among us. Boring.

The Lights are on, but Nobody's Turning - The Lights are on, but Nobody's Turning: The green and yellow lights work as normal lights do. They shine when the going is clear. The green arrow will accompany the red light when the protected left turn lights on Las Positas are on. The red arrow light is on when the through traffic on Las Positas is given the green. Not allowing drivers to start up the hill with cars coming toward them at 55 MPH is probably a good idea – especially if the driver is in a VW bus
