Hi Dave,

I just read your full posting on-line. You did a really great job of getting your arms around a very complex issue and communicating it clearly and concisely.

Did The Rossmoor Homeowners Association �Rebuff� The Rossmoor Predator Management Team?

I personally take umbrage at the OC180NEWS statement "the RHA politically rebuffed the RPMT". Just the opposite happened.

Loved It!

�That warning succeeded in keeping the crowd under control for a few speakers, but gradually, people came forward and started mentioning something about freedom of expression and all that constitutional stuff. While the three armed police officers looked unsmilingly on, and in spite of the Mayor�s repeated admonitions, the crowd gradually took their constitutional liberty and began to applaud at their pleasure.�

Jack took a long look at his speedometer before slowing down: 73 in a 55 zone.
Fourth time in as many months...
How could a guy get caught so often?
When his car had slowed to 10 miles an hour, Jack pulled over, but only partially. Let the cop worry about the potential traffic hazard...
Maybe some other car will tweak his backside with a mirror.

Daylight Coyote Sighting In Seal Beach

No Author — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 21:20:00 Pacific Time

October 27, 4:30 pm - We were sitting in front of our home with our dog in my lap when a coyote trotted by, not more than 5 feet away. We yelled at it, and it scurried away. We called animal control, but no one responded. We have alerted all the neighbors. We called Animal Control at 8:15 and were told we should not react, that the coyotes are a part of the environment and that Animal Control will do nothing---no trapping, etc. We just have to stay in our homes and hide.

�Good article about the green issue and the CC and candidates. Interesting that the TEAM of Mejia, Kusomoto and Sheridan all had different takes on the issue. They are running as a slate. Good to know they are not clones of each other.

Thanks for Los Alamitos Reporting

Dear Ms Barr & staff,
Thanks for the time and energy you invest in reporting what's going on in Los Alamitos. As a "hobby" blogger myself (LetsFixLosAl.com: http://letsfixlosal.com/blog/ ), I know how much time it takes to research, organize, and write even a brief post.
