#SantaBarbara
"Dio è il primo vigile del fuoco", ha dichiarato il cardinal Zuppi durante i festeggiamenti in onore di Santa Barbara.

Intervistati, i superstiti di Sodoma e Gomorra hanno espresso qualche dubbio. Poi, per carità, sono sicuro che qualche fuocherello l'abbia spento con il Diluvio Universale, ma io un pompiere che affoga donne incinta e bambini per spegnere un fuoco non lo assumerei, onestamente.
Perché in Provenza seminiamo il grano della speranza a Sainte-Barbe?

@battusphilenor some hotels in #SantaBarbara are having a "locals" special (30% off)
The Mar Monte is almost right on the beach.
The window display at the #SantaBarbara #Anthropologie is a bit unnerving. The macarons look like bloody burgers.


"Captain found criminally negligent in deaths of 34 people killed in fire aboard charter boat Conception in 2019"
"Thirty-three passengers and a crew member perished, trapped in a bunkroom below deck. Among the dead were the deckhand, who had landed her dream job; an environmental scientist who did research in Antarctica; a globe-trotting couple; a Singaporean data scientist; and a family of three sisters, their father and his wife."
Many thanks to everybody who enjoyed a visit to The Good Life yesterday and purchased signed books at my latest release event! ❤️📚✍️🥂

Street art reminds Santa Barbara of its Latino roots
Michael Montenegro began giving public tours of murals to showcase Chicano culture and pride in Santa Barbara as a personal “passion project” a decade ago.
It has become his way of pushing back against the idea that only the wealthy and the white can find belonging in this lush beach town of 87,500 people.

A #clam presumed #extinct for 40,000 years has been found alive https://www.sciencenews.org/article/clam-presumed-extinct-found-alive
A #fossil species found living off southern #California, with notes on the genus Cymatioa (#Mollusca, #Bivalvia, Galeommatoidea) https://zookeys.pensoft.net/article/95139/
The researchers still puzzle over how the critters eluded #science for so long. One idea is that C. cooki’s preferred habitat is farther south, perhaps in a remote area. A mass of warm water may have washed some clam #larvae toward #SantaBarbara.
