Granola Board Update
Hi...
So I'm the former Sysop of the Granola Board, and I have to admit that I was
VERY suprised to see my long-defunct system mentioned on your web site.
Frankly, I'm quite amazed at the number of inquiries I still receive about
the system... I still get e-mails from former BBS subscribers, and most of
them ask if I have any plans to bring the system back up. The answer to
that question is a resounding, "maybe."
I still have all the old hardware and software in storage. When Granola
shut down, my financial situation (obviously) wasn't that good, and I ended
up having to move into my RV where I've been living for the past several
years. I've thought about bringing the system up just for fun, but of
course living in an RV doesn't exactly make that a possibility.
If I ever manage to buy a house, I'll probably bring the system up again,
though it will be set up with Internet-only access, just because the costs
of dial-up modems are pretty high. Also, it will be a rather interesting
experiment, since the BBS software that ran the system wasn't Y2K compliant.
My guess is that I'd just set the clock to 1977 and let it run...
Sincerely,
D. A. Taylor
Former Sysop, Granola BBS
Transferring to Lompoc...
Q.
Hi Don,
I will be transferring to Vandenberg Air Force Base from Brooks Air Force
Base in San Antonio Texas in the May-June timeframe. Is there a central
place to get information concerning apartment (rentals) in the area? What
churches are in the area or within driving distance? Where is the mall or
major shopping facilities? This information is not included in anything
provided at our installation. Hope you can help me. Looking forward to
becoming a resident.
Mary
Don answers,
A.
Mary,
You may wish to contact the Lompoc Chamber of Commerce, Lompoc Online and
Wiser Property Management and Sales These sites are all available on my web
page (http://dpdon.com/). Lompoc Online has much information about Lompoc. Wiser has
current rentals listed on their pages. The base will have a list of rentals.
Check with me for additional rentals when you arrive. The Chamber can send
you a package of information about the town..
Shopping is all over town with some major chain stores that you will like.
Churches? I think there is every Church that there is located in Lompoc. Yes
they are all within easy driving distance. Lompoc is a small town in a nice
valley, by itself, with Santa Barbara and Santa Maria less than an hours
drive away.
I just know you will like it here. Welcome. If you need more information do
not hesitate to ask.
Don

The Lompoc Railroad
Ron's latest article about the Lompoc Railroad is complete with historic photographs.
"The railroad came to Lompoc near the turn of the last century. Prior to the arrival of the iron horse real horses and wagons were used to bring freight and passengers into the newly established town of Lompoc. Before the arrival of the modern railroad it took many days and sometimes weeks before small increments of mail and valuable freight could reach our community."

Beach Closure
Letter Writing Campaign

Beach Closed Due to Plover
Here's what Ocean Park/Surf Beach Commission member, Ron Fink, has to say:
Biological monitoring reports have established that the Western Snowy Plover population seems to ebb
and flow consistent with the seasonal weather patterns. For example, 115
nests were counted in 1989; 242 in 1991; 97 in 1993; 238 in 1997; 78 in
1999; and 106 in 2000. ...Two of the highest census counts occurred in 1991 and 1997 - after the endangered
status was claimed and long before any restrictions were enforced concerning
use of the beach.

Olde Towne Market, 2001
Alice Milligan writes:
Last year, for the first time, a small group of local volunteers put
together the Friday night Olde Towne Market. It operated from July
through October 2000. We offered entertainment, business booths and
food. It was very successful - residents looked forward to this event
every Friday night.
Plans are underway to repeat this activity this
year - we will begin earlier - May 4 and continue through October 2001.
Our planning committee meets the second and fourth Tuesdays at 1:30 PM
at the Lompoc Valley Chamber, 111 South I Street. Because we will be
operating the Olde Towne Market for a longer span of time, we need
volunteers. If you would like to help with the Olde Towne Market, we
would welcome you at any of our meetings.
Call the Chamber at 805-736-4567 and get on our mailing list or just show up at any of our
meetings. We had a lot of fun working this event last year. With more
volunteers, it would lessen the load on a few people. If you have any
questions or suggestions for the Olde Towne Market, please give me a
call at 736-4005. I would welcome your call.
