The Raiders were upset twice in the past few weeks to drop from #2 to #6 in the national rankings. Despite those two losses, they are just a game out of first place in the Cascade Conference with 12 games remaining.

I’m not a big rye guy so I have had my pastrami sandwiches at Sammich on a baguette instead. Good stuff.

Santa Barbara County Courthouse during Christmas blue hour
Last week I posted a photo from the clock tower of the Santa Barbara County Courthouse. Today’s photo is of the courthouse and the clock tower that prior picture came from.
The first night we pulled into Santa Barbara we were all rather stunned driving past this building which looked spectacular at night.

Every night I meant to walk down the street (we were staying near Santa Barbara High School) to get this shot, but it wasn’t until our final night–Christmas evening–that I actually made it happen.
