• Gentlemen, Start Your Suns...

  After a polite email exchange with Seal Beach environmental/electric car/anti-Bush activist Doug Korthof -- he was catching This Ticking Time Bum up on what he's been up to lately (lots more than us, that's fer sure) -- it occured to us that if the automakers are telling the truth, our heads will all explode right now: DUCK! We kid. No, what we wuz thinking wuz if automakers are being truthful that Californians just never embraced the barely advertised, sales un-pitched, tucked-on-the-corner-o

• Battle Over Bolsa Chica and Indian Bones Keeps Humming Along

  When the California Coastal Commission meets in Huntington Beach on Thursday, panelists will be staring into at least one familiar face: that of Chief Anthony Morales of the Gabrielino-Tongva Band of Mission Indians (pictured). While the commission deals with coastal development issues up and down the state, their monthly meetings bounce around from city to city so they can be closer to all the people whose interests they allegedly represent. Following them from town to town

• One Little, Two Little, Three Little Indian Rifts at Bolsa Chica

  For Chief Anthony Morales of the Gabrielino-Tongva Band of Mission Indians, his long fight for the dignified treatment of Native American remains unearthed on the mesa overlooking the Bolsa Chica wetlands may finally be coming to an end. Healing a rift with rivals from the Juaneño Band of Mission Indians, Acjachemen Nation, will likely take much longer.  Addressing the California Coastal Commission meeting Thursday at Huntington Beach City Hall, Morales revealed that Hearthside Ho

• Woodrow Carter, In Your Facial

  The Temecula Creek Inn--with its views of miles of verdant, vine-covered hills, a golf course, sumptuous spa treatments and nearby wine tastings--is a splendid spot for a decadent weekend getaway. In late 2007, about a month after beginning his post as Capistrano Unified School District's newest superintendent, A. Woodrow Carter accepted an invitation to spend a weekend at the Inn for the "California Superintendent's Health and Wellness Institute." Carter didn't give many details about the retre

• Wild Rivers to Finally Close and Become... A Water Park

  ​We missed this item on the LA Times's Funland blog on Monday. Apparently, Irvine water park Wild Rivers, which has spent the better part of its decade proclaiming it would soon shut down but never actually doing so, may finally see its last day in 2010.In its place would be a seemingly identical water park, owned by the same people as before, but with a different name: Splash Canyon.

• Visit Morningsong Farm this Sunday for Food, Canning Classes--And Llamas!

  Buono dropping off her goodies to Old Vine Cafe...​I can attest to the wonderful food produced by Morningsong Farms (based in the Temecula-area town of Rainbow, but owner Donna Buono lives in San Clemente and provides Best Restaurant in OC Old Vine Cafe with most of its produce) because the chica and I subscribe to their Community Supported Agriculture (CSA, for short) program for our weekly food needs. I've also visited their farm, rolling hills that scream for the orange crate label treatmen
