Too many bugs in Silver Lake.
I’m very concerned about the skunks I’ve seen all over Silver Lake the last two nights. I’m sure it’s because of the heat; think how they must feel in their heavy fur jackets. Please consider putting out pans of water for animals or birds; make a new friend. Even though I live in an apartment, I did just that, in case my skunk visitor comes back.
I just added a plugin to make the blog load faster. If you see any problems, however, please let me know.
Also, I have about 10 mosquito bites, more than I’ve ever had since I lived here. I know I got a couple from a hike up Runyon Canyon, but I also heard one right here, with the phone to one ear, and a mosquito whining in the other one. We definitely have more flies and mosquitoes this year. Probably due to the Silver Lake draining.
