Moonlighting...can you imagine Wendy McCaw as mayor of Santa Barbara or as one of the county supervisors to pick up some extra cash? I know she doesn't have the backbone or smarts to run, but I would love to see the campaign..would she emulate Bloom? Aides to Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg hopscotch around the world on two Falcon 900 private jets, where wine and sushi are served.They stay at the Four Seasons in London (about $400 a night), the Intercontinental in Paris ($320) and the King David in Jerusalem ($345). Room service? The mayor pays for it all. Even the laundry. Sign me up!
and what's this? Is Supervisor Carbajal moonlighting as a reporter in these tough economic times? Do we have a "conflicto de interesto"...why is Salud listed among the "reportoros y colaboradores" in Wendy's free rag El Mexicano de Santa Barbara.. aren't Wendy's papers supposed to be gov't watchdogs?..Salud even gets a higher billing than Steepleton does in the NewsPress!

they have no mouths?? of course they do!! where else are they gonna hide their *proboscis??
*any of various elongated or extensible tubular processes (as the sucking organ of a butterfly) of the oral region, ie mouth, of an invertebrate
The caterpillar's first meal is its own eggshell. After that, Monarch caterpillars eat the poisonous milkweed leaves to incorporate the milkweed toxins into their bodies in order to poison their predators. Milkweed (genus Asclepius) is a common plant that contains toxins. There are more than 100 species of this perennial herb, containing varying concentrations of toxic chemicals (glycosides). The Monarch is considered a beneficial insect because its caterpillar eats the noxious milkweed plant which inhabits some farms...
