Coyote Killings Part 2
I think I have the answer. Animal Services of Los Angeles did it. The Times says (my bolds): “When he woke up, the coyote was sitting there,” said Capt. Wendell Bowers of the Los Angeles Department of Animal Services. “Coyotes nip at each other when they want to be fed. This one was waiting for something to eat. It wasn’t trying to eat the man’s foot. It nipped at him.” Bowers said there was no reliable information about a coyote attack last month that reportedly involved someone who was in the park after closing time. Officer Gregory Randall, the department’s wildlife specialist, said the city’s procedure is to notify the…

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. Same old, same old.…

Jimmy Kimmel is un-American + Tripp Isenhour is a bird killer.
Rob Lowe played for a charity golf tournament in Iowa, and hit and killed a goldfinch with a golf ball.

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 had to call the police on AT&T.
Someone knocked on my door. I live in a gated complex, so it’s almost always Fed Ex or the mailman, or some other kind person wanting to give me something. In this case, not. A man with a clip-board said he had some questions to ask me about AT & T. Since I had just complained to them in 2 worthless and fruitless calls yesterday, this was odd, indeed. A miniature train sign (or model trains, as they prefer to say to adults.) From here. Right away, without even saying who he was, he said he had some questions for me! He described himself as a “service person, to talk…
