1 C @ @ 3 < B A j 4 @ 7 3 < 2 A 7 < < 3 3 2 1 ' Lee spent much of his own retirement living in Hawaii.)

In October 2007, Bob Lee says he began paying Caldwell a modest $250 per month to take his father grocery shopping or to doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appointments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was getting to be a lot more work,â&#x20AC;? says Cherie Hervey, another Dolphin Driver and eventual caregiver, recalling the months leading up to that point. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When he was forgetful heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;How many children do you have?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Remember Pops, seven?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Holy shit!â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

By February, when it became clear that James was suffering from dementia, Bob Lee took responsibility for his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial affairs. He says the first inkling of trouble came when he discovered that Caldwell had bounced a rent check in October 2007. The next month Lee says he discovered some strange activity on his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s credit cardâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a $485 plane ticket to Chicago, and the next month a $1,350 down payment on a time-share in Las Vegas, both in Caldwellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name. Attempts to contact Caldwell for this article were unsuccessful. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I approached my dad. He was stunned. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;How did she get my credit card?,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After that, I did an audit and found out she hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t paid rent for months.â&#x20AC;? Lee still has a copy of a check that Caldwell eventually wrote for $4,500, with a note that says â&#x20AC;&#x153;past due rent.â&#x20AC;? Lee says Caldwell then agreed to move out, but when he received another rent check the following month, he realized she was staying.

Lee began interviewing the Dolphin Drivers about his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relationship with Caldwell, and says he discovered that she had about $15,000 worth of jewelry she said Pops had bought her, including a 1.38-carat diamond ring and a Rolex watch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who would ever accept a gift like that?â&#x20AC;?

Lee says. But he adds there was evidence that the relationship had become more than friendly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At one point, he asked me for Viagra,â&#x20AC;? says Lee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That should have been a red flag.â&#x20AC;?

Courting Trouble According to Lee, once he told Caldwell to have no further contact with his father, things escalated. He says she continued to have the elder Lee over to her house, which prompted Bob Lee to call the sheriff twice, and later to file for a restraining order.

Hervey says she had to repeatedly remind her elderly neighbor that he shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have contact with Caldwell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told him, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Remember, Pops? She stole your money,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh yeah, why would she do that?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and he would cry, not just a couple of tears. Sobbing,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His health took a downward spiral. He was depressed. My dad was a very proud man,â&#x20AC;? says Lee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m old, she thinks Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m stupid.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I almost wish his dementia had been bad enough that he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand that.â&#x20AC;?

In March 2008, Lee says APS called to speak to him about neglecting his father, but the agency turned its investigation to Caldwell after learning about the credit card purchases. Soon, the APS team gave what it had to the DAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, according to Assistant District Attorney Kelly Walker. In April, after Lee was granted a restraining order against her, Caldwell was arrested outside of the courtroom. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not real concerned about using a credit card to go out to dinner with the victim,â&#x20AC;? says Walker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not as concerning as a Rolex watch and a diamond ring. It became obvious that the defendant was victimizing him. She had endeared herself to him.â&#x20AC;?

Though she was charged with a felony, Caldwell pled out to a misdemeanor. As part of her deal, Walker says she admitted to the two credit card charges for the trip and the timeshare, returned the ring and watch and served a 30-day jail sentence.

She was also ordered to have no financial agreements with anyone over the age of 65.

Walker says he thought it was necessary for Caldwell to

write Bob Lee a letter of apology, which she did. In it, she called the credit card charges â&#x20AC;&#x153;mistakes and bad judgment,â&#x20AC;? but described them as the result of an agreement she had with Pops when she was having money trouble. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The nonpayment of the rent coupled with the two credit card charges made me look like I was taking advantage of you [sic] dad when this was not my intention at all,â&#x20AC;? she wrote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m deeply sorry Bobby, please forgive me.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;What was beneficial in Bob Leeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case was that he was on top of his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finances.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not always the case,â&#x20AC;? says Marci Phillips, director of Public Policy and Advocacy for the National Council on Aging in Washington, D.C. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The key part [of the Elder Abuse Act] is that it creates a federal commitment, and a federal coordination and a stream of funding to help address, prevent and in some cases prosecute elder abuse.â&#x20AC;?

Hervey says she had to repeatedly remind her elderly neighbor that he shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have contact with Caldwell. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I told him, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Remember, Pops?

She stole your money,â&#x20AC;?and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh yeah, why would she do that?â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Lee, who still has some unresolved anger, says the sentence for Caldwell was too light. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt justice wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t served,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt like she had contributed highly to his death.â&#x20AC;?

Walker, however, says that there was no way he could pursue a charge on those grounds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He spoke to me regarding that, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no way that can be pursued. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t disagree with his feeling, but, no, I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t prove that in a court of law,â&#x20AC;? he says.

Long Overdue In some ways the family was lucky. Lee was involved in his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life and had power of attorney. He had the means to cover his $10,000 legal bill, and prevented what he believes was the end goalâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to get possession of his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s triplex, which the family sold in one week for $1,175,000. The Elder Abuse Act would create federal money and oversight for those whose families are not as astute.

Some of those federal dollars would go directly to local APS, so that Skezas would no longer have to rely on state funding.

In the last two fiscal years, she says the APS budget has been â&#x20AC;&#x153;slaughtered.â&#x20AC;? She currently has only three caseworkers.

The bill has been languishing in Congress since 2002, but was recently added as an amendment to one of the health-care reform bills approved by the Senate Finance Committee. Phillips says this is why the coalition chose to show the documentary film to Congress last week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really is our best shot in years to finally get this moving,â&#x20AC;? she says.

Lee says helping to pass an Elder Abuse Act is a small source of comfort. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the only sector of the population thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been ignored,â&#x20AC;? he says, pointing to the fact there is federal protection for children, battered women and animals, but none for the elderly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These Congress people, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be there one day. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something no one will avoid.â&#x20AC;? 0

6=B ;/;/ A stylish Mardi Wormhoudt, the epitome of ageless California cool, was photographed in April for the 15th anniversary issue of Metro Santa Cruz.

Madame Mayor

Mardi Wormhoudt, 1937â&#x20AC;&#x201C;2009 0G B@/17 6C97::

I

NEVER met Mardi Wormhoudt.

In the late 1990s, when I was getting my start in journalism and relegated to the sandbox of features writing, I would hear her name uttered in the newsroom and wonder at the hallowed tone employed by my usually cynical hero-colleagues. In the same way children take cues from their parents, espousing essentially baseless opinions about frivolous aunts or shiftless uncles, I came to understand that Mardi Wormhoudt was one of the good politicians. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know why. I just accepted it.

By 2007, when I returned to Santa Cruz in a professional capacity, Wormhoudt had finished her 12 years on the Board of Supervisors, capping a 21-year career of public service that included the mayoralty of Santa Cruz during the Loma Prieta earthquake. Her accomplishments, it seemed, were measured more by what hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happened than by what had: gorgeous Wilder Ranch hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been overtaken by subdivisions, Pogonip and Coast Dairy hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been developed, Lighthouse Field didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a conference center. But there was a flip side to the protectionism that had secured those important victories: not enough good hotels to balance out the cheap ones, a strident and oversimplified public discourse, a staggering price of admission to life in Santa Cruz. People referred to Mardiâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;always by first nameâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;as the

godmother of an elitist, some might say real estatist, cabal. She had successors, protĂŠgĂŠs, causes, enemies. When she was photographed by Dina Scoppettone for the 15th anniversary of Metro Santa Cruz, this paperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s predecessor, her pixieish appearance came as a surprise. Petite and coifed in a fashionable blonde shag, clad in jeans and peasant blouse, she seemed too diminutive, too casual and stylish, to be a political powerhouse. Only the hint of steel in her eyes gave that part away.

We ran a photo of her leaning on John Lairdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shoulder, as if about to whisper in his ear. I worried that it gave short shrift to them both, but looked at another way it acknowledged the undeniable lineage of the Santa Cruz progressive movement.

Lately thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been much reminiscing about Mardi Wormhoudt and her legacy.

Of the many things she left Santa Cruzâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a beautiful greenbelt, a potent sense of its unique place in the world, a vibrant downtownâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;maybe the most important is the confidence to just say no to a future it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want, because that makes it possible to say yes to one it does. The boundaries have been drawn, the template set for smart growth and a denser, greener future several steps beyond what Mardi herself envisioned. History may decide that Mardi Wormhoudt was a woman far ahead of her timeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;more so than even she herself may have realized. 0

Power Play Lean, clean and green, Silicon Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nascent automotive industry is on a roll 0G 3@71 8=6<A=<

T

HE ELECTRIC CARâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; quiet, fast and cleanâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;has captured some media attention since the release of the sleek Tesla Roadster 18 months ago. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a new idea.

Some of the first cars ever built, going back to the 19th century, were batterypowered. And the contemporary push to break away from the internal combustion engine dates back more than 40 years.

The Electric Auto Association, a national club, was founded in San Jose in 1967 by a bunch of Lockheed engineers.

Today it is still a going concern with chapters throughout the world, including one in Aptos, furthering its mission â&#x20AC;&#x153;to encourage experimentation in the building of electric vehicles, particularly to improve energy and resource efficiency, reduce emissions and improve vehicle safety.â&#x20AC;? For most of its 42 years, the club has served as a clearinghouse for hobbyists and small entrepreneurs who use a variety of kits to convert gasoline-powered vehicles to EVs. Club member Mike Brown has been at it from the beginning. A longtime Volkswagen mechanic, Brown built his first electric vehicle in 1979: a FiberFab Aztec kit car on a VW Beetle chassis. Then he started experimenting, converting Porsches, other kit cars and, finally, his biggest successâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a VW Rabbit he named the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Voltsrabbit.â&#x20AC;? He founded his own company, Electro Automotive, in 1981. In 1989, he and his partner Shari Prange published the book Convert It, which still circulates in electric-car culture.

1 = D 3 @ A B = @ G j > = E 3 @ > : /G Since that time, Brown, who lives and works in Bonny Doon, may have been responsible for the production of more electric cars than any other company. By his own estimation, there are something like 2,500 cars on the road today running Electro Automotive conversions. Beneath the hood of each, a bank of batteries supply power to a series-wound DC motor, which feeds the power through a gearbox straight to the drive wheels. Several times a week, working from his little shop in the Santa Cruz Mountains, Brown ships kits to owners of Rabbits, Porsche 914s or, recently, the Beckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Spider, a cool little reproduction kit-car modeled after a 1965 Porsche.

During the time that Brown has been retrofitting hundreds of vehicles to run on an electric power source, many car companies, including the Big Three, have experimented with building EVs from scratch. So far, none have really succeeded. GMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s EV1, built from 1996 to 1999, was popular with its small band of owners, but ultimately the company killed the model, recalled all of the cars and crushed them.

Toyota went a different routeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;more like Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;converting its own miniSUV, the RAV4, to run on an electric motor. In production from 1997 to 2003, the model was discontinued with little fanfare.

The big manufacturersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; failure to launch a viable plug-in vehicle prompted the 2006 documentary Who Killed the Electric Car?, but rumors of the EVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s demise have been greatly exaggerated. Over the hill from Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shop, the germ of a new clean automotive industry is sprouting from the same matrix that yielded the semiconductor and the network router.

Electric cars are alive and well, and Silicon Valley is the reason why.

Fancy Amps For Silicon Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passionate car lovers, Club Auto Sport is a combination country club, museum and temple. Its showroom is filled with some of the most beautiful, powerful and expensive automobiles ever made.

On a recent Saturday afternoon, a rare Porsche Carrera GT sat alongside an even rarer Ford GT40 race car. The Porsche, flat-black and still recognizable as a Carrera despite a bulge behind the rear windshield housing a 10-cylinder, 612-horsepower rear-mounted engine, is one of the fastest production cars ever made, capable of traveling from zero to 60 mph in under four seconds. It

was priced at a bargain $325,000. The GT40, built in 1965, was the machine that reasserted American automotive technological dominance in the Le Mans circuitâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a Ferrari killer. More than 40 years old, it still does a sub-four-second zero to 60 and typically sells for around $150,000.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Right now, there is a level playing field. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re living through a time like the 1920s, when there were 100 car companies. And I believe that I have as much chance as anybody to design the car that succeeds.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Simon Saba Down the hall from the showroom, in a tiny garage stall thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of a business incubator, sits a small twoseater that, when finished in a few weeks, will be able to beat both cars off the line. The car is being built by the one-man startup company Saba Motors and is designed to sell for $40,000.

The Saba Spider is a sharp-looking roadster, but it looks nowhere near as impressive or intimidating as the two vehicles that it will one day be able to blow away. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because the Spider is a different kind of car. With an aluminum frame, carbon-fiber body and other proprietary technologies I am not supposed to mention, the car weighs about as much as an old Schwinn beach cruiser. But what really makes the car fast is that the Saba is electric, driven ¨ &

by a motor about the size of a 3-gallon pail, powered by a bank of Thundersky lithium batteries.

Simon Saba, software engineer by day, revolutionary automotive designer at night and on weekends, is building the car because he believes he is living in a unique moment in history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a perfect storm happening right now,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For one thing, technologies have evolved to make something like this possible. At the same time, the Obama administration has stepped up and declared its commitment to green technology and is putting money behind that commitment. Private VC money is also becoming available. And meanwhile, the old automotive companies are nearly bankrupt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now, there is a level playing field. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re living through a time like the 1920s, when there were 100 car companies. And I believe that I have as much chance as anybody to design the car and launch the company that succeeds.â&#x20AC;?

Sabaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strategy is simpleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to dispel what he calls the two myths of electric carsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x153;that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re slow and that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ugly.â&#x20AC;?

To accomplish this, he decided to build a high-performance sports car rather than a glorified golf cart. He has run scores of calculations plotting curb weight, rolling resistance coefficient,

drag coefficient, air density and other metrics, and experimented with various materials and off-the-shelf devices. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Efficiency,â&#x20AC;? he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;equals power.â&#x20AC;?

Sabaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary goal is to win the X Prize, an international competition â&#x20AC;&#x153;designed to inspire a new generation of viable, super-fuel-efficient vehicles.â&#x20AC;?

The contest, set up a by a nonprofit and funded by the Progressive Insurance Company, involves designing, building and bringing to market 100 MPGe (miles-per-gallon energy equivalent) vehicles â&#x20AC;&#x153;that people want to buy and that meet market needs for price, size, capability, safety and performance.â&#x20AC;?

More than 100 teams have entered the competition for three prizes totaling $10 million.

Saba believes his lack of automotive experience and expertise gives him an edge on the competition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Automotive engineers are looking for ways to rebuild vehicles that already exist. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking for brand-new ways to solve the problem,â&#x20AC;? he says.

Sabaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confidence does not appear to be too misplaced. A month ago, he attended Gov. Arnold Schwarzeneggerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Global Climate Summit at the invitation of EPA chief Lisa Jackson. He proudly shows off photos of himself talking to Schwarzenegger and Jackson, who visited his display booth for 15 minutes.

While he has not spent a lot of time yet actively seeking any government

ACUPUNCTURE assistance or even venture capitalâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; focusing instead on building his prototypeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Saba has indeed entered a fertile field. In the past 12 months, green technology in general and automotive tech in particular have become the fastest-growing sectors of the American economy.

In August, the Department of Energy dispersed $2.4 billion in grants to companies to spur green development in the automotive field. While most of that went to the rust-belt states where the recession has hit the hardest, two California companiesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Tesla and Fiskerâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;received $465 million and $528.7 million, respectively.

But the government money is the tip of the iceberg. The real money is in the private sector, where the prospect of a new, sustainable automotive industry has already sparked a gold rush.

Driven to Change Steve Jurvetson, a partner in the Sand Hill Road venture-capital fund Draper Fisher Jurvetson, is heavily invested in the clean-tech revolution. His company, one of the iconic investment firms to emerge from the Internet boom, has funded startups from Hotmail to Ooma, and made a strong move into the green sector several years ago. With holdings in companies including Brightsource Energy, a builder of solar power plants, DFJ is banking on a renewable future.

One of the firmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most high-profile clients is Tesla Automotive, the San Carlos-based builder of the mediadarling Tesla Roadster. Jurvetson also drives a Teslaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;one of the first 20 ever builtâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and sits on the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board of directors.

He says the potential offered by the new breed of nonpolluting vehicles cannot be exaggerated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the largest opportunities weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever looked at,â&#x20AC;? he says.

Jurvetson points out that the prospect of a new green automotive industry opens up to competition not only the entire automotive transportation industry but also the multibillion-dollar petrochemical industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a trillion-dollar market,â&#x20AC;? Jurvetson says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have never seen a market of this size. The whole [information technology] market was a few hundred billion. Thisâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of mind-bending.â&#x20AC;?

Jurvetson has seen plenty of evidence that this is not just a pipe dream.

Brightsource, which his company backed in its early stages, just inked a $10 billion solar deal.

What was until recently a dream held

by many environmentalists and some forward-thinking scientists has, in just the past couple of years, turned into money. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for DFJâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s startupsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; and good for Silicon Valley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Startups do well in markets where thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a disruptionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;when something changes in the market,â&#x20AC;?

Jurvetson says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In a stable market, the big get bigger, and the little startups donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have much of a chance.â&#x20AC;?

The recent disruptions have included skyrocketing oil prices and much bigger forces, from terrorism to global climate change. Other changes are the new administration in Washington, D.C., and the resultant changes in the regulatory landscape.

Much of the action is focused on Silicon Valley. But confronted with the question of whether Silicon Valley is set to become the next Detroit, Jurvetson says thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the wrong question. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My first reaction is that I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think Detroit is a good role model,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Silicon Valley is going to do what Silicon Valley does. We will do what we did with IT, in the way that Silicon Valley uniquely can. This is going to be something completely different, in a completely different space, that becomes a substitute for what came before.â&#x20AC;?

Jurvetson credits the explosion in the alternative-vehicle market to more than an accident of history. He says â&#x20AC;&#x153;engineering and design elegance,â&#x20AC;? combined with business innovations, have forced the change.

He points to Teslaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sales strategy, which dispenses with independent dealers, allowing Tesla to sell directly to consumers and â&#x20AC;&#x153;control the brand experience.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can talk about selling in a whole new way,â&#x20AC;? Jurvetson says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;which only really makes sense because this car has a lot of cachĂŠ.â&#x20AC;?

A more significant business innovation is the one that allowed Tesla co-founder Elon Musk to start a car company without having hundreds of millions of dollars on day one.

Tesla was able to do that by building its Roadster around the guts of a Lotus Elise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With this, [Musk] isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just selling a dream,â&#x20AC;? Jurvetson says.

He contrasts this business model with the old way. Henry Ford, he points out, owned everything that went into the production and sales of his cars, from rubber plantations to dealerships. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a staggeringly expensive way to build a car company,â&#x20AC;? Jurvetson says.

While Detroit automakers and other upstarts were building mostly variations ¨

on the golf cart, Musk and his team decided to build a high-performance vehicle and to work with an established, but smallish, auto builder.

The effort paid off. With its Roadster, Tesla was first to marketâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and delivered a product that has impressed everyone whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s driven or even seen it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a singular experience,â&#x20AC;? Jurvetson says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The sheer accelerationâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like being shot out of a rail gun. I used to tell people, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Zero to 60 in under four secondsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and watch their eyes glaze over.

Now I just say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;It goes like a bat out of hell.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Future Fast To start the Tesla Roadster, you push a button in the middle of the console. Press D, and the one-speed transmission is engaged. At a standstill, the car is silent. Step on the accelerator and it makes a high-pitched, rapidly modulating whine. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very cool soundâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;like the sound spaceships make in sci-fi movies.

Slip out onto the road and press hard on the pedal, and the whine modulates very rapidly until the car is emitting a nice soft scream. At that point, the car is

probably doing 80 mphâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and not even straining.

The Tesla Roadster is explosively fast.

It can go from a cold stop to 60 miles per hour in about the time it took you to read this sentence. It is unlike anything on the road.

As a former mechanic, I have driven some fast cars. I worked for years in a shop that serviced Porsches. We had a customer with a race-tuned Carrera; on several occasions, I drove that Carrera 160 mph. The Tesla would kick that Carreraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ass off the line.

Mike Falcone, a salesman at the dealership in Menlo Park, knows about fast cars, too. His personal car is a 1969 Pontiac GTO with a 400-cubic-inch V-8 and a four-barrel carb. On our test drive, I asked him how the two cars compared.

He just laughed.

The stretch of Sand Hill Road that runs from El Camino Real to Highway 280 is 2.6 miles long and has six stoplights. Between each of those stoplights, I took the Tesla straight up to 80 and then, out of prudence, backed off. Each time, it felt remarkable.

I noticed something else I liked about the carâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;because it uses regenerative

braking, the Tesla slows itself down immediately when your foot comes off the accelerator, as the motor draws energy. This is done in the name of efficiency, but as it happens, it makes for a better driving experience. Without the driver stepping on the brake, the car will slow itself to from 80 mph to 3 mph, quickly and smoothly.

At the 280 onramp, things got really fun. The Teslaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s front end and suspension are 100 percent Lotus Elise. That means old-school unassisted rack and pinion.

Which means you can literally feel the road in your handsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;none of that powersteering mush. The heavy battery pack is located in the center of the car, giving the Roadster 60â&#x20AC;&#x201C;40 weight distributionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a good thingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and the motor and tranny are located just behind the rear wheels, which causes the vehicle to dig in hard under acceleration. And the thing about explosive acceleration is that it, too, just plain feels good.

On the cloverleaf Sand Hill Road onramp, I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but let out a shout. Falcone, my co-pilot, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;All clear,â&#x20AC;? and I jetted out over to the fast lane and hit 100-something in no time at all. By the time I gathered myself enough to look in the rear-view mirror, I saw nothing but empty road with a bunch of BMWs and big Mercedes in the distance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the Tesla, you end up driving alone a lot,â&#x20AC;? Falcone said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nobody can keep up with you.â&#x20AC;?

Feeling a professional obligation to put the car through its paces, I exited at Alpine Road and headed up into Portola Valley. This is the kind of road the Lotus chassis was designed for, and the Tesla loved it, exploding through the gentle curves. But when I checked the rear-view again, I was surprised and then doubly surprised: there was a car just off my back bumper; it was another Tesla.

The driver was grinning and waving through his windshield, and I waved him over. We pulled into a turnout.

Matt Devin, on a Sunday drive with his daughter, seemed elated. This, I thought to myself, is the look of a man who owns a highly efficient, ecologically responsible automobile. The look on his face told me that this is the kind of thing that could save the world from the polluting deathgrip of the gasoline-powered automotivepetrochemical complex. Assuming an electric car will be brought to market for significantly less than the Roadsterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $109,000 price tag.

On the way back down Sand Hill Road, another fortunate event: at a stoplight just west of the Stanford Shopping Mall, I looked to my right,

and sitting there was a new Corvette.

I honked the horn. The driver, a handsome woman in a golf cap, turned to us with a grin and asked: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve you got in there?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;A battery and a little electric motor.â&#x20AC;?

Pointing at the road ahead, I asked the time-honored question: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wanna run?â&#x20AC;?

She kept grinning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sure.â&#x20AC;?

The light turned green. It was over in a hurry.

Selling a Dream When Tom Price learned that Henrik Fisker was getting into electric cars, he took notice. He knew Fisker as one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading designers of luxury coaches, the man who had designed the BMW Z8 and the Aston Martin DB9, two of the most beautiful cars to hit the road in the past couple of decades.

Price was ideally positioned to win the first Fisker dealership in Northern California, which is set to open in Sunnyvale next year. Price owns Toyota of Sunnyvale, which is the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second-biggest Prius dealer, so he has a firsthand knowledge of what â&#x20AC;&#x153;greenâ&#x20AC;? can mean to the bottom line. He also owns Marin Luxury Cars in Corte Madera, one of the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top sellers of Aston Martins. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The more I learned about the car and how it was put together,â&#x20AC;? Price says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the more comfortable I became.â&#x20AC;?

Price is speaking of the Fisker Karma, which is poised to be the first plug-in hybrid luxury sedan to hit the market.

Fisker himself designed the carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body.

Almost everything else in the vehicle has been subcontracted out to experienced manufacturers. The power train is being built by Quantum, a Southern Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;based manufacturer of fuel cells and fuel systems. The interior is being built by Magna Steyr, a Torontobased global supplier. Almost every component in the car is being built by a similarly well established company.

In the end, the pieces will be shipped to Finland, where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be assembled

by Valmet Automotiveâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the company that assembles the Boxster and Cayman for Porsche. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to have confidence in the vehicle, knowing all of these vendors,â&#x20AC;? Price says.

Price is equally confident the car will sell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we had it here,â&#x20AC;? Price says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we showed the car to friends and asked them what they figured the price would be. Most said $200,000.â&#x20AC;? The Karma will retail for $87,500. Subtract out the federal rebate of $7,500 and, the way ¨

Like Tesla, Fisker has attracted serious money from Silicon Valley investors. The giant of Sand Hill Road, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, has made Fisker one of the pillars of its spectacularly ambitious â&#x20AC;&#x153;Greentechâ&#x20AC;? fund, which is managed by a team including KPCB partner and former Vice President Al Gore. Gore is slated to get one of the first Karmas to roll off the production line.

And as this article goes to press, current Vice President Joe Biden is expected to announce that a shuttered GM plant in his home state of Delaware will be retrofitted to build Fiskerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upcoming midpriced mystery car, codenamed â&#x20AC;&#x153;project Nina.â&#x20AC;?

Not much is known about the Nina, but unlike the Tesla, the Fisker Karma is a hybrid, running a 2.0-liter fourcylinder gasoline engine that generates power for its patented â&#x20AC;&#x153;Q-Driveâ&#x20AC;? electric motor. The combination produces more than 400 total horsepower; the car has tested 0â&#x20AC;&#x201C;60 in under six seconds. Not as fast as the Tesla Roadster, but then it seats five. And unlike other hybrids on the road today, the Karma offers a plugin option. It can travel up to 50 miles before the charging motor kicks in.

Price has driven the car and believes heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have no trouble convincing some high-end car buyers to give up their big Euro-sedans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think you sacrifice anything in terms of agility or power,â&#x20AC;? Price says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a solar panel on the roof, so you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a sun roof. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably about it.â&#x20AC;?

Tesla, meanwhile, is also preparing to enter the luxury sedan market, albeit at a significantly lower price point. The Tesla Model S, an equally stunning, nicely appointed five-plus-two-seater, is scheduled to ship in late 2011.

It was Teslaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Elon Musk, in fact, who gave Henrik Fisker the idea that the time of the plug-in automobile has arrived. Musk hired Fisker to design Teslaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first sedan, which at the time was code-named WhiteStar. (After a year or so, Fisker quit and was followed out the door by a lawsuit charging him with theft of proprietary information.

Fisker announced plans to start his own company some time later; the lawsuit was decided in his favor.)

The Model S differs from the Karma in a couple of ways. First, the Model S is fully electric. Second, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s priced $20,000 less than the Fisker. After the $7,500 tax break, the Model S will start at $49,900. Not exactly a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tesla for the

rest of us,â&#x20AC;? but it does represent a big step toward the time when electric cars will be commonplace, because it will come equipped with a battery that can be swapped out in five minutes. That would make driving a Model S about as convenient as driving a gas-powered car.

All that remains is to build a vast network of charging spots and battery swap-out stations. And another Silicon Valley company is well on the way toward achieving that ambitious goal.

Deutsche Bank analysts concluded that Better Placeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approach could be a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;paradigm shiftâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; that has â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the potential to eliminate the gasoline engine altogetherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; The Big Idea At the World Economic Forum in 2005, Klaus Schwab, the founder of the international organization that has gathered business, political and intellectual leaders in Davos, Switzerland every year since 1971, posed a question: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the most important thing you could do to make the world a better place by 2020?â&#x20AC;?

Shai Agassi, who had been invited to attend the event as one of the inaugural class of Young Global Leaders, was part of a working group assigned to look at climate change. A 37-year-old engineer and entrepreneur, Agassi was on the board of directors of SAP, the Germanbased software development firm, and had come to be interested in the problem of global warming. Agassi led his team to the conclusion that gasoline-

j !

A/<B/1@CH 1=; october 28-november 4, 2009 1=D3@ AB=@G

powered cars were the biggest threat to the planet, andâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;because of their vast numbersâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the most difficult problem to solve.

After returning to his job in California, Agassi produced a succinct nine-page white paper on the subject.

It contained an argument for building national-scale infrastructures to support mass adoption of electric cars and a blueprint for making it happen.

The piece took as a given that the era of oil is ending. It called for largescale solar energy plants sending energy to the batteries of electric cars via an â&#x20AC;&#x153;intelligent Electric Recharge Grid (ERG)â&#x20AC;? using hardware and software to connect utilities, charging stations and drivers. Driving itself wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change much. A ubiquitous infrastructure would allow cars to charge up when parked. The main difference would come on long trips. When out of juice, drivers would pull into exchange stations where they would get into automated lanes, as in a car wash, and have their empty battery swapped out for a full one. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We for the first time look at the car battery as part of the infrastructure system, not part of the car,â&#x20AC;? he wrote, â&#x20AC;&#x153;much like the SIM card inside a cell phone is part of the network infrastructure which is residing inside the phone.â&#x20AC;?

Conditions were ripe to make the change, he argued. At the time he was writing, the cost of new-generation lithium iron phosphate batteries was starting to drop. For the first time, Agassi reported, the total cost of energy for electric transportation had crossed under the cost of fossil fuel.

The â&#x20AC;&#x153;cross-under pointâ&#x20AC;? had gone almost unnoticed in the world of automotive design, which was focused on the hybrid-car race. Yet, Agassi concluded, its effect would result in â&#x20AC;&#x153;the most disruptive economic shift ever experienced in history.â&#x20AC;?

He devoted some effort in his white paper to demonstrating that his idea would make money. A lot of it. Fuel at the pump represents a market of $1.5 trillion every year. Cars and components add up to roughly the same amount: $1.5 trillion a year. He predicted that clean electricity generation for cars will reach $150 billion a year.

The construction of the gridâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the ERGâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; was projected at $500 billion. Battery manufacturing will reach similar levels of $500 billion a year. Carbon credits alone will be worth roughly $300 billion when all cars are driven on clean electricity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the aggregate, we are looking at an annual dislocation reaching

roughly $6T a year,â&#x20AC;? Agassi wrote.

Keep in mind: Agassi was putting this idea together in his spare time, while he was running the 10,000-member engineering team for a big multinational corporation. He seems to have written the paper for the sheer joy of solving a hugely perplexing problem, or as an act of global community service. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Regardless of who wins or loses economically, there is one sure winnerâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the sustainability of our planet and humanity,â&#x20AC;? he concluded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we desire to sustain the planet and our current way of living, we stand in front of a decision that has no alternative....

The time is now, and the change is already in motion. In the words of Lee Iacocca, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to lead, follow or get out of the way.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

The Big Money Agassi delivered his white paper to the World Economic Forum in 2007, two years after he had begun investigating Klaus Schwabâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s question. According to Sidney Goodman, VP of Automotive Alliances for the Palo Altoâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;based Better Place, at the time Agassi was next in line for the top job at SAP and was not very interested in starting the company that would build the grid he was envisioning.

Ultimately, it was Shimon Peres, the former prime minister of Israel, who convinced him otherwise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shai was hoping to pass the idea along to a government, hoping they would take up the challenge,â&#x20AC;? Goodman reports. And Peres was interested.

He issued Agassi two challenges. One: Get a buy-in from a major car company (known in the biz as an original equipment manufacturer, or OEM).

Two: Get the money.

Agassi wasted no time. He brought in Carlos Ghosn, president of the RenaultNissan alliance, one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top five carmakers.

Goodman says Renault-Nissan â&#x20AC;&#x153;differs from any other OEM in the marketâ&#x20AC;? in its interest in plug-in cars. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They decided quickly that there was a strategy fitâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; and said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s do it.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

In October 2007, Project Better Place was launched. Agassi had also met condition No. 2â&#x20AC;&#x201D;he had raised $200 million, from VantagePointâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; another big Silicon Valley VC firmâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;as well as from Israel Corp., Morgan Stanley and a smaller group of private investors. The deal has been called one of the largest and fastest seed rounds in history.

Meanwhile, Peres had taken the idea ¨

to then-Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert. Strings were pulled, deals were made, and in two years Better Place will have its infrastructure in place and Renault will have its fleet of cars ready for delivery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We already have metal in the ground,â&#x20AC;? Goodman reports. More than 1,000 charging stations have been put together in several Israeli cities. Later in 2011, the same thing will happen in Denmark. Australia will follow in 2012.

And then: California.

In April 2008, Deutsche Bank analysts concluded that the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approach could be a â&#x20AC;&#x153;paradigm shiftâ&#x20AC;? that causes â&#x20AC;&#x153;massive disruptionâ&#x20AC;? to the auto industry, and which has â&#x20AC;&#x153;the potential to eliminate the gasoline engine altogether.â&#x20AC;?

The head-spinning speed at which this idea has caught on certainly accounts for the fact that most Americans are practically unaware that such a radical power shift could be in the offing.

There is one curious fact, again from Agassiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s white paper, that makes the transition seem almost inevitableâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;even before the dozens of required solar power plants are built.

Every energy-generating plant and grid system produces excess power capacity, called â&#x20AC;&#x153;active reserve.â&#x20AC;? This is used to guarantee immediate availability of power in demand spikes. The active reserve is usually wasted, as power stations have no ability to store it.

According to Agassi, the active reserve alone could power more than a third of the cars in developed countries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The smart recharge grid provides a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;distributed storage facility,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? he writes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Taking the concept one step further, the cars and batteries can even feed back electricity to the grid.â&#x20AC;?

Steve Jurvetson offers another piece of evidence that this dream is real. He points to the fact that many of the most talented young engineers, bankers and other professionals are being drawn into the clean-energy sector. He attributes this to something fundamental. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just feels good to know youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re part of a significant change,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For young people just out of college, they get to feel like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re contributing something important to the world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For those of us who have been around a while, for the first time, our kids think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re cool.â&#x20AC;? 0

other members will eventually vote him in and says he was simply looking for friends to ride with when he decided to join. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had been hanging out with the guys for a while,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m into motorcycles, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re into motorcycles, it just seemed like a good fit.â&#x20AC;?

As in the 1950s, Vampires are once again Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite monster. From feature films like the aforementioned Twilight series to HBOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s True Blood and CWâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Vampire Diaries, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never been a better time to be a bloodsucker. For the Vampires Motorcycle Club, however, all that popularity translates into some annoying and often-hilarious confusion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every now and then, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get someone who will pop up on the website forum and want to be â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;turned [into a vampire],â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? says Penick. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s usually some deranged 16-year-old who saw the teeth on the logo or something.

They have no idea that the Vampire Motorcycle Club has nothing to do with teenagers drinking Clamato.â&#x20AC;?

Once Bitten Swallowing what must have been a cantaloupe-size ball of pride, the Vampires agreed to let a Santa Cruz Weekly reporter ride â&#x20AC;&#x153;bitchâ&#x20AC;? on the back of a bike for a weekend run. The day started, as it almost always does with the Vampires, at Caffe Pergolesi.

Arriving late and blisteringly hung-over, the crew straggled in to the coffeehouse around noon. And after an hour of caffeinated concoction consumption, engine talk and debate on the whereabouts of a lovestruck Vamp who had disappeared the night before, it was time to hit the road.

My chauffeur for the afternoon

was Penick, the giant biker, and our steed was a Yamaha YZF-R1, which, he promised, was â&#x20AC;&#x153;faster than a Lamborghini.â&#x20AC;?

The day was sunny and warm and the air perfumed with the smell of dead leaves as we coasted through town and merged onto Highway 1. It took about two minutes of cruising at the speed limit before Penick decided to show off his machineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cajones, instantly blasting forward and nearly leaving me behind.

Traffic seemed at a stop while Penick expertly weaved between cars, often riding the center line before topping off at a speed that, for legal reasons, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll just say was not quite 150 miles per hour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You all right, man?â&#x20AC;? He shouted when he finally exited the freeway, to which I shakily responded in the affirmative.

Off the highway, we headed north on Old San Jose Road. Flowing through the leaf-laden curves and waving at any fellow bikers we passed, the trip took us through Laurel Glen Road to Highway 17 and eventually back to downtown Santa Cruz. Leaning into turns and accelerating through straightaways, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;beautiful danceâ&#x20AC;? described by Penick before we left took on vivid new meaning as we f lew through the forest, the road seemingly laid out for maximum motorcycling enjoyment.

Arriving back at Pergolesi, my limbs were still shaky and my heart still racing when Penick summed up the day with an offer that has likely turned plenty of other decent, hard-working folks into full-on leather-clad bikers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you liked what you saw, go get a bike and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll go again,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Think about it this way: for $7,000 to $15,000 you can go faster than any sports car on the market.â&#x20AC;? 0

A1@7>B3/A3 7;>@=D 7< ¡B63 3F=@AB@7>¸ One more time for the ScripTease virgins out there: the members of this improv troupe gather onstage, let the audience tell them what games to play and then take their clothes off when they screw up a line. Shows are rowdy, lewd and pee-your-pants funny. Plus, even though the â&#x20AC;&#x153;naked onstageâ&#x20AC;? part combines two of the worst nightmares a human can contemplate, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re both happening to someone else! How funny is that? Friday, Oct. 30, at 7 and 9pm, Actors Theatre, 1001 Center St., Santa Cruz. $10 without costume/$9 with. 831.435.6080.

The Coen brothers explore downside of not being God in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A Serious Manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; @716/@2 D=< 0CA/19

I

Tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S A VERY SERIOUS movie, A Serious Man. All the themes in the Coen brothersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; previous films blend harmoniously. Here they reconcile the warring impulses to create apocalyptic tragedy and screwball comedy. Here, as in Raising Arizona, is the startling cartoon f latness of the United States. Here is the hideocomic wrath of Americans and the way the temper f lares up so suddenly in whimsical, friendly men. Here is the balanceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;as in Fargoâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;of what morality costs and what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth. A Serious Man is a vast Jewish joke that follows Kaf kaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suggestion that in the struggle between you and the world, back the world.

The action unfolds in suburban Minneapolis in 1967, close to the place and the time in which the Coen brothers grew up. In high-angle shots, the neighborhood is as remote as Mars: wide empty streets, square houses embedded in crabgrass and seething neighbors.

A meek professor, Larry Gopnik (stage actor Michael Stuhlbarg, looking like a dispirited Harold Lloyd), teaches physics at a small college. As was the case for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lucky Jimâ&#x20AC;? Dixon, Gopnik is tantalized with the possibility of tenure by the head of the math board, a monster of passive aggressiveness.

One afternoon, a Korean exchange student tries to bribe Gopnik into a passing grade. Thus begins the siege against Larry. Larryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife announces that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deeply in love with their neighbor Sy Ableman, a clammy, polyester-clad swine; Fred Melamedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unforgettable acting depends heavily on an oleaginous voice, though this touchy-feely home wrecker is appalling on so many other levels. Larry must

move to the Jolly Roger Motel. With him comes his unemployable brother, Arthur (Richard Kind), an obese holy fool with weaknesses of the f lesh.

For reverse angles, the Coens follow Larryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son Danny (Aaron Wolff ) and the boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cowlike indifference about his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s woes. The marital struggles are but interferences from Dannyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own routines of watching FTroop, smoking marijuana and trying cheat his way through his upcoming bar mitzvah. Larry gets the promise of mercy from his next-door neighbor (Amy Landecker), a bronzed, deadpan siren who, like Danny, is tuned in to the San Francisco sound.

Some postmodern moments give A Serious Man a vaudeville kick: a prologue about the appearance of a

demon in the old-time Jewish ghetto is staged like a lost episode of Mario Bavaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Black Sabbath. In another of this filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parables, a God carves a Hebrew message into the teeth of a gentile to teachâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;what?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;some indecipherable lesson, like the physics equations on Larryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chalkboard, like the Hebrew letters Danny is too dumb to learn.

Even the leer of the Red Owl drugstore sign, peering out of the screen, seems pregnant with terrible meaning.

What seemed like caricature in the earlier Coens is softer here. A Serious Man suggests very lightly that there might be some hope in the old rituals, something basic and kind. Photographer Roger Deakins and composer Carter Burwell do wonderful work making these episodes

coalesce into a powerful fever dream of persecution and encroachment.

As in Kaf ka, every avenue of escape is displayed just so the workers can rush over and nail up the â&#x20AC;&#x153;No Exitâ&#x20AC;? sign. And as when reading Kaf ka, what keeps one from sinking into despair is the rich, heady humor. A Serious Man throbs with age-old mysteries to which one can only succumb, with the hope of being released into pain-free nothingness.

A SERIOUS MAN (R; 105 min.), directed and written by Ethan and Joel Coen, photographed by Roger Deakins and starring Michael Stuhlbarg, plays at the Nick.

(2004) When Quentin Tarantino is at his most fast and exhilarating, his lack of a moral compass doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean much. But in Kill Bill: Vol. 2â&#x20AC;&#x201D;more scenes from a directorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s notebookâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to get into the old pulse-

pounding rhythms of the action cinema Tarantino adores. One reason I prefer Leone is that the characters donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talk each other to death. In the Kill Bill movies, Tarantinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone gargantuan, and this movie is full of empty space. While this is a much better time than the first one, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s badly overblown. Tarantino has no filterâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all basically equally cool to him, either B-movies like The Wicked Dreams of Paula Schultz, or the Wim Wendersâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;ish blackand-white sequences

at the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beginning where Bill and the Bride stare meaningfully at each other. When you suggest this Bride as an elemental figure of wronged womanhood, having an actor of about the weight of John Forsyth going against her isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t doing the yin-yang balance of the movie any favors.

(PG-13; 104 min.) A crying-on-the-inside sort of movie, based on Simon Carrâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memoir. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Joe Warrâ&#x20AC;? (Clive Owen) seemingly has it allâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a good marriage, a job as a newspaper sportswriter, a young son and an offthe-road bungalow not too far from the beach in South Australia. Then, at a party, his wife (Laura Fraser) falls into a faint and thus into a short but credibly harrowing bout with cancer. After her death, Joe holds away intruders and decides to try to raise his young son, Artie (Nichols McAnulty), by himself, eventually sending for his other son, Harry (George MacKay), from a British boarding school.

Out of grief, distraction and compassion, Joe decides to let his kids run wildâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a â&#x20AC;&#x153;just say yesâ&#x20AC;? policy that manifests itself with bike riding in the house, pizza in bed and chickens strutting indoors. Director Scott Hicks (Shine) tends to lay everything on the lineâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;complete with regular appearances by the wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ghost. The film canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t escape the sitcom mawkishness of the premise, no matter how much restrained

sensitivity Owen radiates.

(RvB) 1/>7B/:7A;( / :=D3 AB=@G (R; 128 min.)

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been 20 years since Michael Moore made Roger & Me, about the layoffs that devastated Flint, Mich. The only thing that has changed today is that Flint is worse, and its woes have spread throughout the United States. Moore makes a nationwide tour of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wreckage. He follows the collapse of the real estate market and sits with the victims of a family farm eviction in upstate New York.

When Moore is at his best, it is not as defense lawyer but prosecutor.

And whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been worthwhile since 1989 is his tendency to sass back to corporate spokesmen instead of taking their statements at face value.

min.) Audrey Tautou plays the designer as modernist in the years before World War Iâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a woman who assumed male privilege by assuming the simplicity and directness of their clothes. After a stint as a saloon singer, Coco calculates her way into bed with a wealthy rouĂŠ named Etienne Balsan (Benoit Poelvoorde).

Director Anne Fontaine reminds us that this is a movie from the country that gave us The Rules of the Game. What could have been a dull birdin-the-gilded-cage story turns urbane, with the ever-changing flow of power between the

slightly wizened but sporty decadent. When Balsan realizes that another man has stolen Coco, he only murmurs, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m smiling, because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the one who let the fox into the hen house.â&#x20AC;?

The fox in question: a British businessman nicknamed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Boyâ&#x20AC;?

(Alessandro Nivola). The end titles call the house of Chanel an empire, but Tautouâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;last seen, cigarette on lip, in a cage of mirrors, surrounded by models wearing her gownsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;makes it look like mostly hard work.

Tautou is perhaps aged for the young Coco but sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unusually sharp: itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to imagine why someone would love admire such a moody, direct woman. (RvB) 1=C>:3A @3B@3/B

min.) Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being labeled â&#x20AC;&#x153;the next Blair Witch Project,â&#x20AC;? but hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the thing about Paranormal Activity: people were actually scared. They screamed. They were freaked out. A young couple, played by Katie Featherston and Micah Sloat, believes something unusual and disturbing is going on in their house.

Micah buys a hand-held camera to try to capture it on film, recording day and night, which leads to a lot of genuinely creepy footage. It is certainly the scariest movie anyone will see this year. (SP) / A3@7=CA ;/< (R;

(PG-13; 101 min.) Remake of the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s cult-horror favorite will have to work hard to be accepted by fans who loved the originalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loopy story of the ideal Reagan â&#x20AC;&#x153;family valuesâ&#x20AC;? man gone wrongâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the only perfect family he could imagine was a dead one. This version appears to take a more Fatal Attractionâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; type thriller angle, with the movieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s publicity asking â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is he really the man of her dreamsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or could David be hiding a dark side?â&#x20AC;? Gee, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t knowâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;yes? Although how awesome would it be if the big twist was that his insane obsessions are washing the dishes

the art deco Metro City floats in the sky like Jonathan Swiftâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Laputa.

Its dictatorial president (Donald Sutherland does the voice) is trying to arrange a war to ensure his victory in the upcoming election.

During a demonstration of a new form of atomic power, the son of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest scientist (Nicolas Cage) is vaporized. The scientist tries to reincarnate the boy in powerful robot form. Like Dr. Frankenstein, he rejects the creature that results. Stranded in an underworld of the poor and discarded, Astro (Freddie Highmore) learns how the other half lives before returning to the city of his birth to defeat the power-mad leader. The filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s antimilitarism is robust.

Astro Boy all but namechecks Obama when the evil dictator uses as his election slogan â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Not Time for a Change.â&#x20AC;?

and being a really cool stepdad. (SP) AC@@=5/B3A (PG-13;

89 min.) In the near future, all human beings will be pale shut-ins, experiencing life through cybersimilacra. Late one night, the son of the man who made this technical breakthrough possible is murdered, fried by electrical surge after his avatar is killed by a strange new weapon.

Investigating the crime is an FBI agent (Bruce Willis) and his partner (Radha Mitchell).

They believe the crime is linked to a large reservation of Luddites, led by a charismatic leader called the Prophet (Ving Rhames). Based on a graphic novel. (RvB) B67@AB (R; 133 min.)

Korean director Chanwook Park has been on a roll all the way through his Vengeance trilogyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Oldboy and Lady Vengeance. The man is a visual genius, an expert craftsman and a fascinating storyteller, and his movies are unique works of art shaped from the same core issues of power, revenge and the struggle of every human being not to fail miserably.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be interesting to see how he applies them to this story of a priest turned into a vampire by a botched medical experiment. (SP) B=G AB=@G ! 2 (G;

81/92 min.) Not actually a sequel to the Toy Story films (one is coming in 2010), but a rerelease of the first two, packaged as a double-feature and shown in 3-D. (SP) E63@3 B63 E7:2 B67<5A /@3 (PG;

101 min.) The beast suitsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;part costumes, part CGIâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;are accurate versions of the Sendak illustrations. Max Records seems just right as Max, the little boy whose father is out of the picture, who flees to a monster island.

The feature film gives children due respect for their towering moods. But childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s moods change, and this filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mood doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s essentially gloomy, like a collection of Peanuts strips clipped of their punch lines.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re cautious and fretful; they form cliques and snipe at each other. The rumpusing beastliness always ends with some injury, as per Momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s warning about how itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all fun and games until someone gets hurt. Scriptwriter Dave Eggersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; work is typically formless, cute and drifty.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no artistic force behind this movie, only whims and anxieties. A parting word from the beasts, â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you go home, will you say good things about us?,â&#x20AC;? seems addressed to a baffled audience. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a cult item for aging-children hipster types, the ones who would wear their terrycloth wolf-suits to work if they could. (RvB)

E67> 7B (PG-13; 111 min.) Drew Barrymoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when-girls-collide roller derby movie is bliss; actually, Ellen Page plays Bliss, a Bodeen, Texas, tomboy who takes the name â&#x20AC;&#x153;Babe Ruthless.â&#x20AC;?

Director and bon vivant Drew Barrymore (who plays a rolling calamity of a teammate) has rescued Page from the career-killing move of repeatedly playing the smartest person in the room. The acting is superior on down the line. As the parents, Marcia Gay Harden and Daniel Stern have a fond rapport, and in a noteworthy comeback role Juliette Lewis smolders away as the well-motivated villain on a rival team. Scriptwriter Shauna Crossâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wit lets Page hold the screen like never before. (RvB) H=;073:/<2 (R; 88

min.) Under a plague of the living dead, the United States is in

ruins, and the nervous college-age hero (Jesse Eisenberg) calls the dreadful landscape Zombieland. He joins three reluctant companions: a Twinkiesloving cowboy called Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson), a fast female loner named Wichita (Emma Stone) and her little sis, Little Rock (Abigail Breslin). They head to a place where they think the light at the end of the tunnel still shines: Disneyland, renamed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pacific Playland.â&#x20AC;? Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s merit to the idea of a turkeyshoot zombie-killing finale amid colored lights and spinning rides, but the film doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get more imaginative than anything seen in the previews. Under Ruben Fleischerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bare-bones direction, Zombieland is slathered with narration.

Harrelson is a fiercelooking party, but he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get Westernlyrical enough. (RvB)

Astrology Free Will

By Rob Brezsny

For the week of October 28 /@73A (March 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;April 19): You may be as flooded with briny emotion as a Pisces on a meandering binge.

You might be as embedded in a labyrinth of your own creation as the Geminis who verge on being too clever for their own good. You may be as cagey a listener as a Scorpio whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s searching for a hidden vulnerability in an ally. In other words, Aries, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not exactly yourself.

But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of those rare times when thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing. Halloween costume suggestion: the opposite of what you think you are.

B/C@CA (April 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;May 20): In my ideal version of Halloween, we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t scare ourselves with images of ghoulish skeletons, eyeballs floating in cauldrons, and hissing, three-headed snakes. Rather, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d confront more realistic fears, like the possibility that the effects we have on the world are different from our intentions ... or that we have not yet reached our potential ... or that people we like might completely misread and misunderstand us. Then Halloween would serve a more spiritually useful purpose. It would bring us face-to-face with actual dangers to our psychic integrity, whereupon we could summon our brilliant courage and exorcize the hell out of them. Costume suggestion: exorcist.

(Begin by exorcising yourself.)

53;7<7 (May 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;June 20): During this phase of your cycle, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll generate good fortune if you brainstorm and meditate about your relationship with work. I urge you to empty your mind of everything you think you know about the subject. Adopt a fresh and innocent perspective. Here are some questions to prime your investigations. 1. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the quality of the experience you want to have as you earn a living? 2. What gifts do you want to give to life as you toil at challenging tasks that are interesting to you? 3. What capacities do you want to develop in yourself while doing your work?

(P.S. For your Halloween costume, why not pretend youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing your dream job?)

1/<13@ (June 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;July 22): Israeli poet Yehuda Amichai (1924â&#x20AC;&#x201C;2000) witnessed the full range of experiences that life on this planet has to offer, from war to love and everything in between. During an interview he gave in Jerusalem in 1994, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can stand on my balcony and tell my children, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Over there I was shelled for the first time, and over there, to the right, just beneath those trees, I was kissed for the first time.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? I suspect his words will soon be meaningful for you, Cancerian. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a breakthrough or epiphany near a place where you once suffered disappointment. Halloween costume suggestion: the phoenix.

:3= (July 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Aug. 22): Author Gary Smalley says that the sexual nature of men is like a microwave oven, while women resemble a crockpot, the device that cooks food at low heat for a long time. Right about now, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d advise you Leo men to be like crockpots not only in the bedroom but everywhere else, too. To spot the subtle opportunities that will be available, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to be gradual, deliberate, and thorough. Leisurely foreplay should be your all-purpose metaphor. As for you Leo women: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m betting there are ways that you have fallen under the sway of the microwave meme. If Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m right, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to fully re-embrace the spirit of the crockpot. Halloween costume clues: the tortoise, not the hare; a 400-page novel, not Twitter; the Pyramid of Khufu, not a sandcastle.

D7@5= (Aug. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Sept. 22): â&#x20AC;&#x153;The more beautiful the bird, the poorer the singer,â&#x20AC;? wrote L. M. Boyd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Peacocks scream, macaws screech. Birds of Paradise croak.â&#x20AC;?

Among the most interesting singers, on the other hand, are birds that are far less spectacular in appearance: the Black-capped Chickadee, the Willow Thrush, and the White-throated Sparrow. Keep that in mind as you navigate your way through the coming weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dilemmas. My personal inclination is to favor inspiring singing over comely appearance, but you may have a different bias. The important thing is to recognize the nature of the options before you. Halloween costume suggestion: Incorporate the themes of plain beauty, secret genius, disguised power, and open secrets.

:70@/ (Sept. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Oct. 22): At a family planning conference in Beijing, a researcher from Ghana presented testimony about tribal issues that he had in part gleaned through interviews with dead ancestors. He said that spirit mediums had acted as his â&#x20AC;&#x153;translators.â&#x20AC;? When he was met with skepticism from colleagues, he was defensive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I only heard from the living,â&#x20AC;? he explained, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a very good balance.â&#x20AC;? His perspective would be smart for you to

adopt right now, Libra. To make the wisest decisions and take the most righteous action, draw inspiration from what has passed away as much as from whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alive and in your face. Halloween costume suggestion: a spirit medium.

A1=@>7= (Oct. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Nov. 21): â&#x20AC;&#x153;Behind every face, there are a thousand faces,â&#x20AC;? says film director Bryan Singer, who worked on two of the X-Men movies.

He deals with professional actors, who specialize in revealing the myriad faces beneath the surface. But I think his assessment applies to lots of people, especially you Scorpiosâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;although it must be said that you do have mad skills at hiding all the action going on beneath your surface. This Halloween, I urge you to make a break with tradition and show five or six of the real youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lurking below your poker face. Costume suggestion: be inspired by Joseph Campbellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;hero with a thousand faces.â&#x20AC;?

A/57BB/@7CA (Nov. 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Dec. 21): The Da Vinci Code author Dan Brown has a unique way of stimulating his imagination: He dons his gravity boots and meditates on complex storylines while heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inverted. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a good way to overcome writerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s block. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You think differently upside-down,â&#x20AC;? he says. Do you have an equivalent method for providing gentle shock therapy to your perspective, Sagittarius? This is a good time to use it. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already have a creative aid like that, hunt around for one. In the days ahead, it will come in handy.

1/>@71=@< (Dec. 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Jan. 19): When Sheelah Ryan won $55 million in the Florida lottery, she used the money to create an organization dedicated to helping the disadvantaged. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve disappointed a lot of people,â&#x20AC;? she told a reporter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could be traveling all over the world, or have a beautiful mansion on the ocean, or have a chauffeur-driven Rolls-Royce. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not my style.â&#x20AC;? Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your role model for the coming weeks, Capricorn. When good fortune comes to youâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m almost positive it willâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;I recommend that you look for ways to share it. The ironic fact of the matter is that if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re generous as you tap in to your gift, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be more of the gift.

/?C/@7CA (Jan. 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Feb. 18): When I did a performance in Santa Fe a few years ago, a woman in the audience came up to me after the show and made a sardonic proposal: Would I like to join her twelve-step program for writers who are overly fond of vivid adjectives and adverbs? With all the uppity mock politeness I could summon, I told her that I was preposterously happy with my scintillating addiction to brazen language, and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t regard it as a raggedy problem that needed invasive correcting. Now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m advising you to be like me and follow your heart when it tells you to be bigger, bolder, and brasher than ever before. Right now, shiny intensity is your sacred duty!

Halloween costume suggestion: the sun.

>7A13A (Feb. 19â&#x20AC;&#x201C;March 20): I hope you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t merely wander around the frontier. I hope youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll undertake a meticulous yet expansive exploration of that virgin territory. Here are some tips on how to proceed: 1. Formulate specific questions about what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for. 2. Develop a hypothesis for the experiments you want to carry out. 3. Ignore what doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t interest you and pounce only on what stirs your fascination. Halloween costume suggestion: an alien anthropologist visiting Earth from another planet; a time-traveler from the future whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing a documentary on this historical moment; a religious pilgrim whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s keeping a detailed journal.

STUCK AT 85 As I was putting away my open house signs, an elderly gentleman approached and asked if I would mind opening back up and showing him the house on display. Of course I readily agreed. He introduced himself as Dexter. Wearing a baseball cap (properly placed, not backwards ) he had a pleasant face, was dressed in a jaunty manner, and the possessor of gentle eyes.

His vital spirit was apparent. People can be 20 or 95 and you can tell if they are really alive by this spirit. Hard to describe. Maybe it’s more of an interest and vitality for life. In any case, he had it.

Dexter then explained that his home was in foreclosure. I did not want to ask about the details as this was obviously difficult for him to talk about. He said he was 85 and his wife was 78. She was experiencing a lot of grief over the situation. He seemed more resigned. I showed him around the manufactured home in Vista del Lago in Scotts Valley. This is a great park with seven beautiful lakes including a resident swan. A great deal may I add, for $244,000. I thought it might work for him. A further encumbrance for him is their large old dog, Shane. Most parks have weight restrictions for dogs of around 35 pounds. Vista del Lago is an exception. I was told by the management they use a dog by dog judgment call. However, upon further discussion, it looked like Dexter would not qualify financially.

I enquired why he did not want to consider renting and he said the same restrictions apply for most rentals, they don’t want dogs, and especially large dogs. The weight dividing dog-line has always puzzled me. Small dogs can be wonderful.

They can also be irritatingly yippy and bite.

Or not. Big dogs can be lazy, quiet and loving. Dogs are like people – they vary and should be judged on their demeanor not size, in my opinion.

Dexter said he had enough money to buy a cheap trailer in another area but all his medical helpers were here and he had built up trust in them and did not like the idea of starting with others. He went on his way but I thought, don’t let this happen to you! The big you out there. For him, slippage occurred, you must build walls of options and tend them faithfully.

A big economic tip: for fun and good food, what a deal!

Sundays from 3:30 to 7:30 take in the Santa Cruz Jazz group at Bocci’s Cellar while enjoying a delicious $7 meal. That’s seven dollars folks. Lots of great jazz players and singers. Start humming about your next real estate investment and hurry hurry if you want to get the $8,000 stimulus….call for details.
