Don't Fence Me In!
Why I moved to Santa Barbara: No Fences!
Two decades or so ago, I stole this cartoon of Tom Hachtman off the bulletin board at the old hamburger joint across from the current Harbor Post Office. I didn't live in Santa Barbara then, but this image hung around long enough in my head until I got myself up here!
All four of my dobies got to sample beach life; two of them got to live here!
The alternative was Newport Beach. I could have moved there and retained my job for another five years. But it had fences. It was full of commerce. High rises. Its docks were inundated with huge excursion boats and noisy cigarette boats. Republicans ruled there and erected fences.
No place where a varsity-sized canine could live with dignity.
