Most Wanted by the LAPD! No, I mean the LADWP!!!

OH MY GAH!!!!!!!

One might think that H. David Nahai, newly crowned king of dwp, might be first on everyone’s mind as a bad guy after the recent well -publicized promise to raise rates, and he’s my personal fave bad guy for his draining of Silver Lake, and refusal to give it back. (Hmm. Well, that could still be true.) But who’s most wanted now? Moi!!!!

Remember that SNL skit when Dan Aykroyd suggests giving kids a bag of rocks for Christmas? I guess someone gave them to the DWP. They’ve been up for almost 2 months.

Silver Lake is surrounded by a 15′ fence (I think) and barbed wire, and has at least one or two guards, day or night. Obviously this is a good idea, since it USED TO BE potable water. They have a guard house, and at least one car is always parked on a center divider in the lake. Once in a while I see them drive slowly down the narrow driveway that surrounds the lake; slow is good, because no one wants to drive into the lake at night, or hit one of the animals that USED TO BE there.

Two days ago I blogged that I thought the Corner o’ Rocks inside slk was a graveyard when I first saw it, at night, an artistic protest by some clever artists. Well, I guess someone very important (and possibly paranoid) read that, too, because I was running last night – very late, no other people on the street at all- just thinking how I might spend the rest of the weekend, when I see a guard’s SUV barreling down the driveway inside the fence, going maybe 40 mph. I didn’t think much about it, but when I caught up to it I saw that now it was parked directly in front of the rocks and dead flowers, GUARDING them from me! They saw me and raced to the rocks! And it stayed there until I finished my run and left!!! I have become a dangerous artist in dwp’s eyes!

Sorry, guys, I don’t do installation pieces! And who said bloggers have no influence? Too funny. But also, sad.

H. David lies, after the jump.

H. David Nahai salutes from my latest electric bill. Notice the last line he writes: “A utility that is committed to clean, renewable resources, that will decrease the carbon footprint…”

Hmm, how do the 6 million plastic bird balls they’re dumping in slk and Elysian, made with HDPE, manufactured ONLY by the big oil companies, do that exactly? Plastic that is not recycled, and probably won’t be in the future? I wish I knew!
