(lemme see here... s-i-g-h-t-i-n-g... yep, sighting, nailed it).<br /><br />Boy, talk about goin' waaaaaay back.<br /><br />Jeff's great!<br /><br />A tiny nugget of Los Osos journalism trivia? When I left <i>The Bay News</i> as a reporter in the early 90s, Jeff was my replacement... and, of course, the level of writing at the paper instantly improved ; -)<br /><br />I also remember having a great conversation with him in 2000, at a mutual friend's party. We were standing there, with beers in hand, and I told him that the sewer story, in 2000, was "never better than it is right now." Shortly after that conversation, <i>New Times</i> published my first cover story on the issue, where I showed how the Karners' "better, cheaper, faster" project -- the project that was solely responsible for forming the LOCSD in the first place, and also solely responsible for killing the County's 1998, "ready to go" project -- was on the verge of failing.<br /><br />And, of course, month after my story was published, that project failed... of course, and as predicted. (Wow. What an unbelievably GREAT story!)<br /><br />And, it's my guess, that if he were to find out that I'm STILL reporting on the subject, he would just laugh and shake his head. (Oh, and, by the way Jeff, in 2010, the Los Osos sewer story has <a href="http://www.sewerwatch.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">never been better</a>.)<br /><br />Thanks for the J. Mac links, Ann.<br /><br />Ann wrote:<br /><br /><i>"Annie Hall – that’s likely unwatched today.</i>"<br /><br />Just last weekend, I was driving with a friend of mine, and he parked about seven feet from the curb. I opened the passenger door, noticed the distance, and said, "It's o.k., I can take a cab to the curb from here."<br /><br />He laughed, and then I said, " A great Woody Allen line, from Annie Hall." <br /><br />That is one of my favorite screenplays of all time.Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156410299483542733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13758431.post-53076517743349287522010-03-09T09:39:03.268-08:002010-03-09T09:39:03.268-08:00Lots of interesting stuff.
