LOL...yes, I was aware of Diablo Canyon. I am also concerned about the Vandenburg Base. Years ago (before my time :) ) the Japanese apparently attempted to fire against Vandenburg and missed. There is a Restaurant in Goleta that has the old shell displayed where it fell. Fortunately back then the weapons weren't that good and their aim was rotten.

I always worry about Santa Barbara, however, ever since an incident back in the 70's when I met a UCSB student who was here on visa from Morocco and heavily involved in revolutionary activity and gun running. I learned that much later, of course. Any college town needs to be on alert for activities counter to the well-being of our nation. The cynical side of me wonders how many of them are provided cover by sympathetic professors and ignorant students anxious to support their cause. The person I refer to above was actually elected student body president! Hmmmm. Makes ya think. Gives me a friggen headache! :(
