Kooks are in the palace. Why the T.V? $30 a year you’ll save – .09 a day. Can they look for better sources of electricity, like nukes?
Energy commission officials said the reason for the proposed new rules is because large Plasma and LCD TVs use a massive amount of energy
The regulations, however, would help a consumer save between $18 and $30 a year on their electricity bill, energy officials said.
Stamm trail II wallows in the muck.
A prosecutor and defense attorney presented contrasting accounts Monday of the relationship between former batting cages owner David Stamm and a young friend who became his accuser.
According to prosecutor Glenn Pesenhofer, Stamm took advantage of an awkward teenager trying to find his way in the world, molesting him while telling him he was gay.
Quite to the contrary, defense attorney Richard Rosen said. “Peter” was on a vendetta because Stamm rejected him after the two had a consensual affair when the younger man was 18.
Happy Easter. It’s the menu from a chain restaurant of 35 years ago. Who knows the location? Or the other locations?
I never knew I had this document of cheap eats from the groovy 70s. I did work there, was not a good experience, hours were low and paychecks would bounce too often.
Location was 162 Fountain Ave.
Pacific Grove Good Old Days Media Challenge – Hear-old wins, sponsoring media outlet – The Weakly – that hosts event ignores it.

We are disappointed, of course, that The Weekly seems to adhere to the philosophy that if you can’t say something snarky about The Herald, don’t say anything at all.
There was no mention of The Herald’s stirring and impressive victory anywhere in The Weekly’s Thursday edition. Not a peep out of Squid. No back-handed dig from the Forum.
Is the tree ordinance enforcement by newcomer Thom “Belly” Akeman a sign of the true mission of the green and sustainable movement that Mayor Cort endorses: The end of personal property rights?
Appropriately designed to promote addition to the urban forest rather than deletion, it generally requires the planting of two replacement trees for each one removed, a provision that rankles the side that does not care for the ordinance.
Adding to the tensions, the ordinance-friendly side apparently took it upon itself to set out on inspection missions to determine to what extent the provisions were being honored or dishonored. Though it does not require any significant intrusion to determine whether a tree exists, that has set off loud allegations of trespass and warrantless search
Next time, just deliver them back to their owner. That makes a better statement.
As part of the settlement negotiated by retired Judge Harkjoon Paik, Mercurio agreed to pay Shake $6,870.
The agreement ends both civil and criminal actions against Mercurio, owner of Domenico’s on the Wharf. He was charged with petty theft for stealing the pagers, which were used to summon patrons of Shake’s Old Fisherman’s Grotto when their tables were ready.

While demand for its services remains steady, the Gateway Center of Monterey County’s funding has gone down in recent months. Now, it has to fix an elevator that won’t go up.
State funding for the Pacific Grove facility for the developmentally disabled was cut by 3 percent in February . . .
. . . The Pacific Grove Gateway is home to 41 developmentally disabled people.
The center started the fiscal year with a $3.8 million budget, but with the February cut and declining donations, the center’s income for the year is projected at $3.3 million, Gateway President and CEO Kathleen Adamson said.
Mayor’s full attention:

Apologizing is meaningless
my personal policy of zero tolerance for name calling or put-downs and bullying has been violated. Apologizing is meaningless. And it is always helpful to learn how a public official really thinks.
I had Tam O’Shanter man holler at my kids on the trail for straying to far from the dirt path.
My neighbor then told me a male cyclist actually hit her friend on the back of her head during one of their walks. One of the problems with only allowing cyclists on the paved portion is some think they are entitled to enforce the rule with extremely rude and dangerous behavior.
Hmmm. Spokes + walking stick . . .
On March 19, Mayor Cort sent an e-mail to his wife, Beth Cort — the organizer of Trees for PG, a volunteer effort founded and initially funded by the Cort family — referring to Booth’s letter, and asking her to “Please set this moron straight.”
Beth Cort forwarded Booth’s letter and one of her own in rebuttal to all six other members of the City Council, as well as interim City Manager Charlene Wiseman, in a message she said inadvertently included the “moron” remark.
Beth Cort said she didn’t notice the remark was in the forwarded e-mail when she sent it, adding that her husband has since apologized personally to Booth.
And add Beth Cort to the roster of offenders.
