“I also kept wishing for a map. 
I hope that 10 years from now the Board will figure out a better way. Because the district that includes San Carlos also includes the coast, our Supervisor always seems to concentrate on coastside issues.” Pat Bell

“Larry, you "library guy", you 'get it' about Burlingame Libraries. Thanks for sharing the good info.” Kris Cannon

“As a library trustee, I'm so glad to hear you appreciate our library. Don't forget our little gem, the Easton branch, which our community rallied to save through generous donations, a door to door campaign and kids holding a bake sale on the library steps. It's wonderful to live in a community that heartily supports its libraries.”

“Scott; I agree with your analysis, and, like you, would love to see top teams go at it right from the start. But the ultimate blame lies with the BCS system rather than the choices that Stanford, and many others, make. In basketball, there is a championship tournament and a (roughly) 30 game regular season. Hoops teams can afford a few losses without risking a slot in the tournament bracket. Not so in football, where bowl bids and rankings are at stake every week. One loss can dump a team from a BCS bowl or even a shot at the title. So, until there is a true playoff, we will continue to see top teams playing soft non-conference schedule. The Oregon-LSU game last week was the exception, not the rule.” Jim Somers
