Here is a link to some of the political and not so political goings on in Davis.
 Are infamous old Mayor, Julie Partansky, is mentioned here a few times.  So are the toad tunnel and the potholes.  If you read on about the snoring incident, I will let you know that we used to live in the other half of that duplex. Enjoy!

Actually Dianne, it wasn t the start of a riddle, but it sounds like it.  It was really a serious question and I found the answer in the link Hybrid Holly provided.
 
 It s pretty funny.

Why did the toad cross the road???
 
 
 He didn t want to pay the toll at the tunnel.
 
 Question:  If Holly lived in the other half of the duplex, and the person arrested was a female, was Holly arrested for snoring???
 
 Larry---that would make her rather unique don t you think?
 
 HybridHolly---America s Most Wanted.
 
 It s an Unsolved Mystery.

I don t think any toads have actually ever used the tunnel.
 
 Oh, and we moved out of that duplex long before the snoring arrest.
 So it was not me, this time!

Hey all,
 Good news!  A friend of mine who is an avid wake boarder stayed at Snug Harbor last w/e and they loved it!
 Although we should all be ready for a Woodson Bridge flashback - Boats start revving up around 5:30 a.m. so he warned that people that like to sleep in should bring ear plugs, lol.  Oh well, as long as Larry/Sammy Slave s son has his boat ready to go we can all be part of the " wake" -up call.
 Can t wait to see everyone!

 Should I bring the sound meter from work and a copy of the Harbors and Navigation Code that sets the sound limits on boats and a cell phone to dial 911 for noisy boats?

Pity you didn t have your Sound Meter at Olema.
 You could have cited Surfcal s Popup for exceeding the noise levels of Section 645.05 (3), after Surfcough had a few of Nick s beers!!!!!
