Only in Santa Cruz

News from the land that time and neo-conservatism forgot:

Headline in today's Santa Cruz Sentinel:

Drug Suspects Rolling in Dough, Deputies Allege
Marijuana, Mushrooms, Hash, Cheesecake, and Cookie Dough found

The subtitle is only in the print version, not on-line, and I may have not gotten it exactly right. But I'm not making up the cheesecake part. Here's what it says in the 2nd graf:
...deputies found butter, cheesecake, chocolate chip cookies, cookie dough and a nut ball all laced with THC...
Thank God we're safe from these Cookie- and Cheesecake-altering fiends. I know I'll sleep better tonight.

Then, from an article (registration required, grrrr) on yesterday's record heat in the San Jose Mercury News:
Beaches from Santa Cruz to San Francisco were full of revelers, some of them nude, until the fog rolled in.
So at least they had something to cover them.
