If it wasn?t for their putrid stench, these cute little critters might make for a nice Santa Barbarian household pet. With these high winds it?s probably
best to stay clear from them. Luckily a brave Edhatter was able to admire from a closer distance, taking this photo of the day to show us all the simplistic
beauty of an animal we?d normally sprint from.
In local news, a concrete truck rolled over on the narrow APS roads, locals reflect on the descend of Miramar, and Santa Barbara is voted Southern
California?s highest gas prices for this Memorial Day Weekend (an honor we?d gladly return).
