I heard there was a meeting today... KRAB radio talked about it... so why not pop in and see what all the city slogan talk was about...
I wasn't one of the speakers and there is really no point in indicating who said what, but the dialogue went something like this:
"It's so beautiful."
It is?"Ooh..."
"Ahhh..."
"We don't need the hole in the sign anymore. I'd like to see a mock-up without the hole in it."
"I thought we weren't going to emphasize the sun."
What, it doesn't get hot in the Central Valley? Heat and sunlight isn't life as it should be? Why not just get an artist to blot out the actual sun?
Or did these city folk forget that anyone with a brain understands photosynthesis, that plants need sun, that to depict progress and civilization and no nature whatsoever, except for man-made, a sun is still a perfectly decent symbol... oh wait, it's a natural symbol, and those are left out.(

That slogan makes me cringe with pain and a subtle feeling of a coming apocolypse.
