Why are weather reports for Los Angeles always wrong?
I was thinking maybe this is true everywhere. But now I don’t think so. Back east they have to predict snow, rain, hurricanes, thunderstorms, and big extremes in temperature. That’s a lot to know. But we could read the weather, too..like if the leaves turned inside out, big rainstorm coming. The smell of snow. Like that. And if the weather forecast said snow, we usually got it. And if they said it was over a few inches, we did get snow days off from school! If they said rain, you better be prepared, or get a really big soaking. We don’t have any of that, unfortunately.

The Silver Lake walkway is bad for runners. (Hint: it’s not dirt.)
I’ve been running around the Silver Lake walkway for almost a year and a half, since the May ’07 fire in Griffith Park.

Jimmy Kimmel is un-American + Tripp Isenhour is a bird killer.

Photo from this NatureSound site. I’ve never seen a goldfinch out here, but I fed many of them back east. They are sweet, beautiful birds, and are kept as pets in Europe. Here’s a vid of a canary-goldfinch (as they are close enough in genus to breed). So besides killing a protected state…

I have a new blog.
…in case you missed it at LAO the other day, who kindly mentioned my Sarah Palin cartoon. “Dear Islander, enclosed are the 5 books you wanted most…” It’s mostly about my cartoons, but also includes desserts, my pets, and other goodies. It’s called, Why I Did It. I might cross-post now and then, but not much. Here’s how I see it: this is my outside blog, and that’s my inside one. Take a peek, and let me know what you think!
