Sewers Are Fucking Excellent
I know you don't care about the sewer situation in Los Osos. I'm sorry I keep bringing it up. It is such a trainwreck, though - I can't look away.
Right now the Regional Water Quality Control Board is refusing to publicly release the names of the 50 people who will be forced to spend $2,400 this year pumping their septic tanks. The new Los Osos Sanitation Board, the people voted in to replace the old board who agreed to a new sewer, are reluctantly coming to the conclusion that they will have to have a sewer; the people of Los Osos are howling at them for selling out. The new board wants to re-apply for the grant money they mis-handled last time. The City of Los Osos is being sued by the contractors who started work on the sewers that were called off.
In the middle of all this, a crazy activist named Gail is spearheading a new citizens' group called Solidarity Against Fines and Enforcement. Fabulous! That's so great! What Los Osos needs now is another player in this debacle! I would have LOVED to be at that meeting; the righteous indignation must have been sky high. There is only one way this story is going to end, but I bet this group can add MONTHS of turbulence and expense. For some reason Gail herself isn't even in the proposed sewer hook-up. She's just opposed to the principle of it! Go, crazy activist lady! I'm with you, sister.
The thing I love most about SAFE is that it gives me such a clear look at my destiny. There is no doubt in my mind that I will be a crazy activist lady one day. When my husband dies of too much good cooking, the kids can't be bothered to call their own mother anymore, and I don't want to be home with all the cats, I'm going straight down to City Hall. I will have causes and form organizations; I will write strongly-worded letters to the editor. I will be at every City Council meeting. The councilmembers will wince as I approach the podium, but you better believe I'm gonna use my full three minutes. It is not just foreseeable, it is my inexorable fate. Use your tactics, crazy activist lady! I watch and learn.

No. Your car is too clean on the inside. In order to be a gadfly, you must have a car that is so full of crap you can't see out the windows.
Did you read all the buzz about Cadiz this week?
Hey hon,
My car is sporadically clean. I'm sure it will be filled with pamphlets and clippings by the time I'm old.
I DID see the stuff about Cadiz. Did Kahn get the Met directorship?
