October 21, 2012 - Season
So we got lucky and dodged a big one last week. Maybe it was late in the year, or there were favorable weather conditions,
but the fire was fully contained in two days. Special thanks to the firefighters, who were so responsive, and so effective.
People elsewhere complain that the California climate is lacking because there are no seasons. Well, we do have seasons,
fire season for one! Lucky us.
Remember it was the Painted Cave fire in 1990 that burned all away to the ocean. This one, which started nearby, was
given a more precautionary name- Look Out! We hope that subscribers took care and everyone in Edhat land kept safe. The emergency highlighted
some weak points in the Edhat infrastructure that we are hoping to address before the next inevitable event. Thankfully, responding to our plea at the
beginning of this month, subscribers contributed generously. We are making the necessary improvements right away.
So, when there is an emergency in Santa Barbara everyone goes to Edhat. We must improve so that we can accommodate
everyone. "No room at the inn" will not be our motto. Neither will it be, "Eat More Chicken"( joke).
So, have a great week. And, enjoy the end of the season.
This week, the Dog of the Week is Mi-T, a big dog in a little package, the Cat of the Week is Cinnamon. The Non-profit of
the Week is Photographers for Non-profits. They provide photographic assistance to non-profits who may not be able to afford it. The Urban Hikers
have a story to tell, and Edda seems to be thinking about food.
