Who lurks in the shadows of the DWP?
It’s not just H. David Nahai anymore. At LA Observed, which I read at least a couple of times daily, Kevin mentions Ron Kaye’s blog, RonKayeaLA.com. (Ron is the former editor of Daily News.) This is generous of him, because Ron totally disses Kevin for a suck-up bio on H. David Nahai that Kevin wrote for the July Los Angeles Magazine. Now, I like Kevin a whole lot, but I have to agree with Ron on this – this is definitely not a well-balanced article. (Maybe because most city magazines are rah-rah?) One point of Kevin’s story reads: His pro-environment ethic, [Nahai says], “came to me as a result of…

You know what’s sad?
I actually added a category yesterday called dwp. That’s sad. What does that say about me? Am I the nerdiest geek ever? Must I pay attention to the utility commission now? Only H.

I notice Marty Adams, “some kind of scientist,” “explained” them in CSSLR the other day. (I started calling him “some kind of scientist” because LaBonge’s office referred to him as that, but as things get more serious to the community, if not to the dwp, I’m going to drop that. He is really an engineer, (or was), and PR person for the LA dwp. He’s also a good friend of LaBonge.) Click for better view. The white line…

DWP is afraid, very afraid.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the LADWP received threats because of the bird balls in Ivanhoe. Two days after I blogged about the Corner o’ Rocks (TM) in slk that I thought was a graveyard, a guard started to park his car RIGHT there. For the first time. I had been running there for almost a year, and there had never been a guard there before; they are always at the guardhouse, or on the median, right between the 2 reservoirs. A couple times one of the guards would race along the inside road (you can see just the edge of it in the center of the photo) to get…
