"I think in secret we are proud of our narrow, forlorn, two-lane cow paths even as UPS, Fedex, Acme Appliance and Jehovah’s Witnesses rue the day their routes ended up in Valley Center. It’s not for everyone." Priceless. This is a true neighborhood blog. Congratulations.— March 3, 2011 5:15 p.m.

Well, I suppose I can see the other side of the coin, but I still do not think it is our place to tell other people if they are not skilled in applying makeup. It would only hurt her feelings and really what have you accomplished by doing so? You might even lose a potential client. Now, if your best friend has a booger hanging out of their nose, that is another story!!— March 3, 2011 12:30 p.m.

I think in ten years you will look back on this and cringe. When I think of how obsessive I was about appearance back in my early thirties I am ashamed. Live and let live. Society should not judge people based on their makeup or lack thereof. It is how you conduct yourself that matters. Both of your reactions to this woman COMPLIMENTING the work, which was the entire point, speaks volumes.— March 3, 2011 7:26 a.m.

I have to chime in on this one - I don't think something like that should be brought up either, if you don't know the person - or even if you do. They could have a hand tremor, poor eyesight, any number of things that could effect their appearance. The feminist in me also says "enough". We women get judged far too often on our appearance alone as if it is indicitive of character. Everyone is unique and typically if a person dresses or applies makeup consistently in the same manner, they are aware of their choice. And that is the only one that counts.— March 2, 2011 2:17 p.m.

Eddie Money was playing here not long ago - I almost went. I was at that same Day on the Green! I just posted a photo of my AC/DC t-shirt from that concert on Facebook. I actually wore it hiking yesterday :) Day on the Green - good times, good times. I went to Gilroy High, it was like Fast Times at Ridgemont High.— February 28, 2011 10:06 a.m.

I almost got trampled to death at an Eddie Money concert at Great America in the early '80s. My friend grabbed my hand and pulled me up before the herd of Money fans turned me into road kill.— February 27, 2011 12:52 p.m.
