    It is simply impossible to understand that Caltrans could be so obliviious as to think that they had no responsiblility to advise the community of their blasting. It is truly sad that they wouldn’t think blasting would be noticed and would cause concern. We expect it during avalance control, but in summer? What a waste of resources.
