This owlet lives finally showed its face yesterday, and what cute face it is. You really can't go wrong when it comes to baby animals. Even the ugliest piglet is hard not to love.
In local news, a Santa Maria man was arrested for growing and selling large amounts of marijuana; the man who crashed his moped on the Carrillo off ramp was arrested for a DUI, and UCSB police say it may takes weeks to identify the body found near Santa Catalina Hall.
