Ribbon Cutting for New Fire Station in Willow Glen
Fire Station 37 is located near Lincoln & Curtner and serves the south area of the Willow Glen community and the north area of the Cambrian community.
The new building is an 8,100 square foot two-story, single-fire company station that contains 2 apparatus bays, separate crew and captain’s offices, an open kitchen, dining & living room, exercise room, and 5 two-bed capacity dormitories with private restrooms.
The City’s new standards of Zero Net Carbon totally eliminate the use of natural gas. There are 82 Photovoltaic Panels generating a total of 25kW in solar power.
The building was designed by IBI-Group Architects, and constructed by Gonsalves & Stronck Construction Company.
The project is said to have been completed on schedule and within the approved $8.8 million budget (after acquiring the city parkland it now stands on).

Non-stop flight from London to San Francisco shows as a curve on Mercator Projection map of the Northern Hemisphere. The trip takes 11 hours at 36,000 feet altitude in the cramped fuselage of the Boing 777 jet airliner traveling up to 590 mph.

This was a three hour dirt-ride into the Inyo National Forest off of Death Valley Road east of Big Pine.
There was a moment when I felt there was no return.

Feeling tired? Run down? Worn out by a facial and shampoo? Consider yourself better off than the model at center (above), who seems to have dreamed she was an astronaut in a vibro-massage bra. She will presumably arise like some assembly-line Aphrodite, renewed in spirit if mildly mortified in the flesh.
This menacing array of instruments for self-enhancement was put together to show the variety of space-age beauty equipment now available, but it almost seems better calculated to prove the French maxim: il faut souffrir pour etre belle.

Sending satellites to Venus, or aspiring to Venus-like charm, one is getting to be as complicated as the other. Over this photograph the London magazine Queen put the simple heading “All Systems Go!”
As they say, you must suffer to be beautiful.
