Wildflower seeding in the fall can pay off later
Sat, 11 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0700
Buying good seeds and sowing now could lead to a spring outburst. But this breed is different from garden varieties, so watch the watering and the weeds. IN NO INSTANCE is the California gardener more richly rewarded than with the autumn planting of wildflower seeds. Buy them now, sow them between Halloween and Christmas, and spring will be marked by a tumbling succession of grace notes.
Fingerprint-scan deadbolt can eliminate need for keys

You enter your home after the high-tech gizmo reads your fingerprints. In other words, you can never lock yourself out again, in theory anyway. YOU KNOW, people don't take enough time to sit outside alone and just think. Listen to the birds. Feel the wind on their faces. Wonder when their spouses are coming home to unlock the door.
Christopher Lloyd lists Montecito home at $3.6 million
Fri, 10 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0700
The 'Back to the Future' actor's 2,514-square-foot home is near the city's lower village and has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Actor Christopher Lloyd is just one of those guys who you know would be a hoot to meet at a cocktail party. The three-time Emmy-winning Lloyd has tons of movie, TV and stage credits -- typically playing oddball characters. You likely know him as the eccentric Emmett "Doc" Brown in the "Back to the Future" franchise, but to me, he'll always be Taber in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (1975). (Gee, was Jack Nicholson in that movie too?)
