“Crazy from the Heat” Mix

Date July 22, 2006

It’s hard out here for a maven. It’s hard to be civilized or sane when its so darned hot.
So, have you ever got out of your car after blasting the A/C and get smacked by a wave of unbearable heat and think, “How do people live like this?!?”, only to realize you DO live like this. Right now it is 90 degrees in my office and 102 degrees outside in Marinwood. Weatherbug says that the heat index is 110. It also forecasts that it might even get 8 degrees hotter by the end of the day. Our wunderground feed says San Rafael is 105 at 1:00pm.

- This week the Novato City Council voted to submit a letter to the board of the Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit District telling SMART the proposed station locations in Novato are no longer acceptable. Two council members, Pat Eklund and Jim Leland, have expressed that they would withhold support for the quarter-cent tax measure going on the ballot this November to fund SMART. Trying to find alternate sites is supposedly in the works but working out who is going to pay for the new environmental impact report for the new locations may be a sticking point.

- Plans will be presented at the Hamilton Community Forum on July 31,
Monday, for a 55,000 sq. ft. Safeway super-store, a separate 47,000
sq. ft. retail building with several shops, and a gas station, all proposed for the property on the northwest edge of Hamilton, next to the Courtyard Marriott and MacDonalds. This Forum meeting will take place in the Novato Arts Center second-
floor conference room, 500 Palm Drive, beginning at 630pm with refreshments. The structured agenda and presentation will begin at 7pm. The status of this store seems to have been influx for the past few months, but some think that Novato acceptance is only inevitable.

It is now 104 degrees outside with 111 degree heat index. I will sign off and talk about the Todd Road controversy along with other wetlands stuff.
