February 17, 2013 - Shining Bright
It sure has felt like summer the past few days in Santa Barbara with temperatures reaching into the high 70s. It's been a nice
break from the cold and windy nights but the forecast is calling for rain in a few days so we better soak it up while it lasts. Enjoy the tank tops and flip flops
before the clouds roll through.
In Edhat news, our Dedicated Staff have been diligently working to find the most interesting columns for our loyal Edhat subscribers. This week we
introduce Fired Up Fred, a long-standing member of Santa Barbara living in a retirement community who has a lot to say on just about everything. If you
have a rant or would like Fred to talk about your rant, send it to ed@edhat.com. Our staff will print it out and deliver it to him for review. After all, he's not
too sure how to work those "computer doohickeys."
Our Dog of the Week is Cinco, an adorable Cuban Havanese. Our Cat of the Week is Onyx, the original coffee cat. Montecito Trails Foundation is our
Non-Profit of the Week, offering 200 miles of scenic hiking trials. Don't forget to go out and take a look at the Moon with binoculars or a telescope today
between noon and 4 pm for the Lunar X. Lauren reviewed Harry's Plaza Cafe which resulted in an upset stomach later that night, Fired Up Fred is sick and
tired of CVS not fully stocking their shelves, and the Indie Film Guru reviewed "War Witch."
