Not surprisingly, the red area follows the eucalyptus tree forest that surrounds my neighborhood and others.

In his final action as Monterey Regional Airport’s executive director, Mike La Pier climbed aboard Graniterock’s loader and scooped up a load of dirt, raised it high in the air and tilted the bucket downward, sending the dirt tumbling to the ground. It was a “Mike drop”—as joked by Interim Executive Director Chris Morello—on a 44-year career.
