Subject: Summit area treetrimmer recommendations

Keywords: trees

I've got this 35' bay tree growing in my back deck (intentionally),
but it has grown so high, it is now too close to my chimney.  I'd like
someone (insured) to take off the top 5' or so of the tree, without
taking out part of the house or deck.  Unless the person is a
daredevil (which I'm not), something more that 'ol Joe with a long
ladder and saw will probably be needed.

So, I'm not looking for an artist here.  I just need the top of the
tree taken off competantly.

Any recommendations?

I recently moved and the place needs new carpets, I need new furniture (
couches), and possibly a maintenance person for pool or someone to replaster 
pool.  Any recommendations?

For potential buyers in the Boulder Creek area, I thought I would warn you 
about the world's worst realtors.  Although I do like the ERA network 
realty, I just sold my house and bought another house.  The realtors tried 
to have us give our buyer everything and made the seller of the other house 
not fix anything.  When I argued about waiving the contingency about my 
house selling before I agreed to purchase other house, they actually hung up 
on me.  For your own sake, avoid these realtors.


THEY ARE:  Kate and Kevin Murphy at the ERA office in Boulder Creek.  
However, I would recommend Marie Ward at the ERA office in Felton (I used 
her before and she was totally on my side).

Sublet available in the hills of Los Gatos:

2 BR cabin, furnished or not. Rustic, yet charming.  Remote, yet convenient.
Located 1.5 mi from Hwy 17 in Chemekeeta park, which is S of Lexington 
Resevoir, and  about 5 mi. from the center of Los Gatos.  It's also only 
15 mi. to the beaches in Santa Cruz, and there's a scenic "back way" that 
bicyclists use to go to Soquel.  You can walk or bike a trail all the way to 
downtown Los Gatos from the resevoir, which is about 3 mi. away.

The cabin is a converted barn, and has a living room , dining room, kitchen, 
bedroom and bathroom downstairs and a larger bedroom upstairs. 

Available: Oct 1 through at least Jan 1, and perhaps longer.

$850/month, plus your electric, plus a damage deposit.

If interested, email me.

"Thanks, and stay in touch..."

Hi. Our site has a UUCP forwarded domain and we are in search of
an alternate connection for those instances when our primary
is down. We are in the 'San Jose 2' zone and would prefer a site
within unmeasured distance, but for this secondary purpose it
would not be critical. We would not route mail through this
site on a routine basis, only when the primary is unavailable.
Similarly, our MX would be at a lower preference than the
primary. With luck, no traffic would flow between us at all!

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

...and I think KGO should stop broadcast of basketball games. Baseball
on radio is *great*, football is *ok*, but basketball with no accompanying
visuals just doesn't work for some reason (too fast? no set-up time for
next play?).

KQED is 88.5 MHz.

I agree with your comments about KCBS.  It seems strange that they're
still doing those game-of-the-week baseball games.  (I'm a baseball
fan, but I still don't like them.)  Perhaps KNBR will pick these
up when they lose the Giants next year.

KCBS has dropped Stanford football, which moves over to KFRC. (610)

An interesting idea.  Some specifics might arouse my enthusiasm.

>>Don't confuse "popular" with "good."

"popular" is objective (or pretends to be), "good" is 
subjective and sometimes pretends not to be, and if 
somebody did not think it was good, then it probably
would not be on the air. Otherwise, how does one 
explain the existence of Wave and KPFA?

Palo Alto Cable Coop has an undocumented channel that for the last few days
has been showing 24-hour/day new-age art videos, showing simulated landings
on imaginary planets, fluid-flow lightshow stuff reminiscent of the old
Jefferson Airplane lightshows, eerie voiceovers of "We're coming to get you,
Steven Spielberg", and such.

It's obvious what this is. My question is "who is doing this, and why, and
how can I help ensure that this sort of thing happens more often?"

Fall Quarter Registration is open at Foothill College, INCLUDING for
classes in the Radio Broadcasting program, whose lab is KFJC 89.7 FM.
These classes are OPEN TO ALL, degreed or not, experienced or not.

For those with previous radio experience, a one quarter station intro
class is required, from which it is possible to graduate early after
turning in class work and taking the exam.

For those without, a general radio biz intro class is required before
the above, although they can sometimes be taken concurrently.

Openings exist for music shows, news/public affairs/sports people,
engineering, production, promotions/publicity, sales (please!) and
more.  Mostly you just find something interesting and pitch in.

COME ON UP AND JOIN IN THE FUN!  Call Foothill Admissions/Registration
(urg, don't have the number...)  or call station supervisor "Doc"
Pelzel at 415-949-7555 to inquire.

You obviously have never heard Bill King do a Warriors game, or Bill Schonley
do a Trail Blazers game.

Amen. Play-by-play is not news. If/when KCBS has a play-by-play, or even to
avoid the noisy ads and frenetic pace, I often prefer KQED, 98.5 fm. 
Much news during the week.

That's just the problem. There was essentially no audience at all
according to Arbitron.  Whenever you hear format changes like this, it
means red ink has accumulated.

It will shift downward in age somewhat but not into the teen range.
Anything above teenage is acceptible to advertisers.

This is simple.  There's probably no budget left.  Word of mouth has
been doing pretty well for them.  Plus, all their new personalities
have legacies, if you will.

KDBK's SF competition is so mediocre that they actually may have a
fighting chance.  They're trying to capitalize on the perennial success
of talk radio such as KGO; that's why there's so much talk. It will be
interesting.

Speaking of cheap sushi, has anyone tried Sushi Chardonnay in SF? I drove
past it the other night at it seemed to be a pretty happening place.

BTW - Is that the all you can eat place?
