Greetings from SLO County

It's 68 and sunny in Morro Bay, but 73 and musty in the Top Dog espresso bar (free wifi if you bring your own laptop and buy a coffee). After five days on the coast, it's clear to me that Kern County really needs to negotiate a reconfiguration of its borders with San Luis Obispo County. Since Bakersfieldians are essentially keeping the Pismo Beach economy from plunging, the Board of Supes really ought to look into trading Maricopa (oil-property tax revenue) for Pismo Beach -- or some sliver of coastline somewhere. Now is the time, in the midst of this buyer's market. I will now reward myself for this brilliant observation by investing in another iced latte.
