VISTA (AP) — To trim $9 million from their budget, Vista officials say they will shut off half of the city’s residential street lights in March unless property owners agree to pay higher lighting fees.
Fees could cost residents of the north San Diego County city between $4 and $20 a year.

In turn, Vista residents complained about bright lights at the new City Hall.
City spokeswoman Andrea McCullough tells the North County Times that lights in the park behind the building have been shut off and lights in front of the Civic Center have been dimmed.
Inside the building, she says lights are being dimmed at 7 p.m. instead of 10 p.m.
I heard this song from Tool tonight, well I hear it lots of nights. But I never bothered looking up the lyrics until now (Aenema):
ReplyDeleteSome say the end is near
Some say we'll see armageddon soon
I certainly hope we will
I sure could use a vacation from this
Bull-shit, three-ring
Circus sideshow

Hopeless fucking
Hole we call L.A.
The only way to fix it is
To flush it all away
Any fucking time
Any fucking day

Arizona Bay
Fret for your figure
And fret for your latte
And fret for your lawsuit
And fret for your hairpiece
And fret for your Prozac
And fret for your pilot
And fret for your contract
And fret for your car
It's a bull-shit, three-ring
Circus sideshow
Of freaks here in this
Hopeless fucking

The only way to fix it is
To flush it all away
Any fucking time
Any fucking day
Learn to swim
See you down in
Arizona Bay

Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves
Followed by fault lines that cannot sit still
Followed by millions of dumb-founded dipshits and

Some say we'll see armageddon soon
I certainly hope we will
I sure could use a vacation from this

I wanna see the ground give way
I wanna watch it all go down
Mom, please flush it all away
I wanna see it go right in and down
I wanna watch it go right in
Watch you flush it all away
Yeah, time to bring it down again
Yeah, don't just call a pessimist
Try and read between the lines
And I can't imagine why you wouldn't
Welcome any change, my friend
I wanna see it come down
Plug it down
Suck it down
Flush it down
I think that sums up the way I've felt for about three years now. Though, I don't know if he meant just LA specifically. I'm assuming he had a general vision of the whole dumbification of human life but centered it on LA because it happens to be the worst city in the world.
Noooooo not the porn.
ReplyDeletewell those big wigs in cancun did call for rolling blackouts in the developed world. no manufacturing here, and what's left can be made cheaper oversea's, so no blackouts for them but yeah, what's the path for the west with it's higher input costs and such? although they didn't say blackouts for money reasons, just to stop global warming-while meeting there cancun experienced some of the coldest temps on record...hahaha
