We still have a pump at Leucadia Roadside Park.
We still have those really weird no parking zones on Hermes, near Deputy Mayor Dalager's house.
Years ago staff told me these signs went in because of the flooding and that they would get pulled out after the drains were installed. It has been years since the drains were installed. Do the drains not work well enough to eliminate the flooding problem on Hermes? Did the city just forget to clean up this loose end?Is the drainage situation no longer in need of attention?
A solution to the flooding should be found before the Streetscape begins.
ReplyDeleteNonsense. There is no major drainage problem. Go down the road and look for yourself. We just had 2 good rains and no problems.
ReplyDeleteThe first phase of the streetscape is for the southern part of our mainstreet which has no drainage problems. The construction of the northern reach is years off.
All is good in Leucadia.
El Camino Real has been experiencing worse flooding this winter than Leucadia Hwy 101.
ReplyDeleteNo problems? Sure, if you don't consider puddles large enough to cover an entire lane of traffic a problem! Sheesh.
ReplyDeleteThose puddles last about 1 hour. Big deal. I don't mind them at all. We don't need that second outside lane anyway. Let the water drain into cisterns and drain into the soil.
ReplyDeleteHow about the blackout Christmas night?
ReplyDeleteI think that most of Leucadia in an area bounded by I-5 and the 101 between La Costa and Encinitas Blvd went dark from about 6 pm to 11 pm.
There had to be at least one ruined Christmas party.
The power outage was obviously instigated by Jerome and his pals at SDG&E as payback. We all know that he hates Leucadia. Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThe blackout Christmas night was caused by forces of nature (i.e., wind). It was not the result of a conspiracy between Jerome and SDG&E (Jerome and God, maybe--but not SDG&E).
ReplyDeleteIt was dark all along Saxony (east of 5)too.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Christmas night we couldn't watch TV and had to talk to each other. Now I know why they inbented TV.
ReplyDeleteVulcan has a bad flooding problem that doesn't drain in one hour, more like 48 hours with no rain. If that sign isn't necessary, then it's blight and should be removed.
ReplyDeleteScamming the Gavel
ReplyDeleteScene: Fifteen fingers down round shots at the Faux Ferny Bar in Cbad
Stocked (trying to sing): Dannyboy, oh Dannyboy, I long to seeee youse... garble garble
Dannyboy (smirking): Jerrybomb, hic, aint’s like you won’t be sittin next to me no mores...he....he...guess you won’tcause now youse gets to warm the end of the pilings.
Sabined (banging gavel): ‘Tension, ‘tension... this here’s order o’the cumberbunds comes to ‘tension!
(All three salute with the secret sign of the cummerbunds...rubbing abdomen area with left hand and rubbing head with right hand, in opposite directions).
Sabined: Now, we must all agree to pass this here gavel to the next mayor in waiting with the utmost propensity notwithstanding the lack of ceremony occasioned by the electoral results which clearly did not create the establishment of a secure and thorough trumping of the unfortunates who with no real chance cluttered up our electoral ballet. Harumpph!
Stocked (with emotion): Glennbobbitt, can I jess have one more fondle on that there stick befores it is rehomed.
(Sabined reluctantly offers gavel to Stocked and they play push pull with it until Stocked grabs it with both hands, yanking the iconic mayorial symbol from Sabined, his momentous effort careening Stocked backwards, back pedaling through the open door of the men’s room, arms flailing for balance. The iconic historic gavel is launched airborne, spiraling in slow motion up up up and then down down to land on the head of the esteemed What’s My Name Bond who was so cozily sitting behind the stall door reminiscing. WHACK. Eyes rolling in head from the knock, JimBob exits the stall, pants dragging round his ankles, exposing the Vulcan hand salute tattooed on his bum to the horrified customers before collapsing. Our three heroes rush to his aid, flash the Vulcan hand salute and yell “live long and prosper.”
The mayorial gavel is fished from the toilet bowl.
Hilarious! Thanks for another installment. And Happy New Year, anyway, despite the election results. . .
ReplyDeletewhy would not parking for one hour in the morning and a couple hours in the afternoon on M-F help with a flooding problem? Is that when pumps are scheduled to dump water into that area? Bunch of nonsense.
ReplyDeleteMaybe we should include water calming for the streetscape.
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding?!? That's to keep parents from parking there when dropping off/picking up kids at PEC Elementary.
ReplyDeletewhy does that property get special parking restrictions and the other residences don't? isn't that public parking? smells like a rat
