Plane Accident Kills Tesla Employees

Reports are also that power has been affected in the city with downed power lines due to the accident.

One comment on the fog today:

“Coming down from the hills into the peninsula today, the fog was impenetrable. even for a rinky-dink airport like palo alto, the air traffic controller (or whatever passes for one) should have disallowed takeoff

but the pilot also shares some blame. there’s no way you can justify taking off in fog like that, i could barely see the cars in front of me this morning”

The plane was headed to Los Angeles and was an older Cessna 310 manufactured in 1976.  Registered owner was Doug Bourn, a senior engineer at Tesla.

From TechCrunch:

statement from CEO Elon Musk: “Three Tesla employees were on board a plane that crashed in East Palo Alto early this morning. We are withholding their identities as we work with the relevant authorities to notify the families. Our thoughts and prayers are with them. Tesla is a small, tightly-knit company, and this is a tragic day for us.”

Three employees of Tesla Motors were killed when their small plane that went down in a Northern California neighborhood. AP’s Haven Daley reports from East Palo Alto. (Feb. 17)

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of this tragic accident.  More details are coming in….

Pasadena Citywide Speed Enforcement

Pasadena Citywide Speed Enforcement

Today in the City of Pasadena law enforcement will be out in force enforcing speed limits.

I hope they spend some time on Orange Grove Blvd as cars are always speeding.

The other day I saw car driving at least 60 mph on Orange Grove, basically flew by!  This is unacceptable.

Direct from the Pasadena PIO Ann Erdman on facebook:

Do you feel the need for speed? Well, slow down! The Pasadena Police Department will be enforcing speed limit laws proactively Wednesday 2/17/2010 from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m.

You’ve been warned.  That is all.

“Branching Out was inspired by the nature and organic spirit of Elements Kitchen. I took my cues from interesting trees and branches from nature for my compositions. It was my intention to capture the spirit of Elements Kitchen. Each piece is engraved and painted on Lucite with imagery on both sides. This gives the piece depth and allows the light to activate the composition to play and bounce on the walls creating shadows.”
Karen Sikie, Paper Mosaic Studios

“The Drought Resistant series was inspired by the water rationing and succulent plants dominating the landscape of Southern California. I take digital images of architectural structures, objects, landscapes and people. Then I print in repeating patterns on transparent sheets to create illusions that interact with light when mounted slightly off the wall. From a distance the works function as abstract paintings. Upon closer inspection, recognizable shapes take form while stitches holding them together add an element of time, craft and intimacy. ”

The Elements Hallway Gallery is a space dedicated to displaying art by artists whose work amplifies an energy and spirit conducive to Elements Kitchen. All art displayed in the gallery is offered on consignment.
