~ Warmer weather brings the

beach trips closer.

We all need to remember

not to pollute nature,

so our beaches don't end up like this:Plastic garbage on Kamilo Beach, Hawaii.

Pacific Ocean or plastic soup???

!!!
Robotic fish able to detect pollution

in the water are being released into the sea.

Will it help the problem?

Here’s a metal solution:

NO comment – just watch…

pet peeves

Ø Stepping on dog poop, gum, or any bodily excretion.
(grrrosss)
Ø Parents not keeping a close eye on
their kids at swim parties.
(Bless the responsible Parents who hire lifeguards for these pool parties!)
Ø Filthy trash left at the lake, the beach, the park, etc.
(especially dirty diapers!)
Ø The plethora of germs on escalator rails, gas pumps, public drinking fountains, & apparently on slices of lemons in restaurants.
(no, I’m not a germaphob)
Ø Gophers.
(Dad eliminated them by putting in
a big swimming pool. Ha!)
Ø Digital cable outage (again)
Ø Big fat pig-ass City workers stopping their work,
to gawk at my Daughters as they
leave for school or work.
(Where’s my tazer?)
Ø Any employee at an eatery picking their nose.
(uhhh, gotta go.)
Ø The smell of natto.
(As a child, I had to leave the table.)
Ø Biting flies on my German Shepherd’s ears. (ouch)
Ø OTC meds packaging that is impossible to open.
(ohhh, my sinus headache is exploding!)

neighborhood watch

Great concept; potentially worth the time & effort.

Our M.A.N. is the “Block Captain” of our

Neighborhood Watch group. He also says that

he’s the youngest member at the meetings.

Hmmmm. Apathy of young families?

Everyone knows there is increased crime in

all areas, with this dismal economy.

Last week, we had the catalytic converters

ripped off 3 Toyota trucks on our block!

Time to step up, & help protect your property & family.

Get to know your Senior Lead Officer,

& help develop the motivation and continuity

to protect your Family, neighborhood,

your home, & friends. If the Watch group

is not working, at least know your

neighbors – who can you trust?...

who should you steer clear of?

Sadly, we’ve found that the main glitch

with the Neighborhood Watch program,

is that some neighbors are the ones

who actually need to be watched.

Even in high-end, security gated areas,

there are undesirable neighbors.

Scary, sketchy, skanky – you name it!

Take the time to get involved and informed.

Sign up for e-policing, & know

what’s happening in your area.

Be cautious answering your door.

Security systems, including video cameras,

are a worthwhile investment.

Tell your family & friends who & what

to watch out for. Remember,

the best defense is a strong offense!

Be the difference; keep your precious

Family & Home safe & happy.

Be your own Neighborhood Watch.

Doesn’t hurt to have a BIG dog in the yard too!

Think about it.

Have often wondered why I can remember all the lyrics to my favorite songs from back in the day, but can’t remember one lick of anything I learned in high school. Music should be played in all classes, no question.

For all you campers ~
HEADS UP!




URGENT MESSAGE:
Hey, Mr Mayor of L.A-holes:
Your pet project for filling the potholes
is working like this...
12:30 A.M.>9-1-08>
SLAM, SCREECH, BANG, BANG, SLAM,
SCREEEECH, BANG, BANG.
What in the friggen world????
Jump out of bed, run to the window,
FLASH, FLASH, SLAM, BANG, SCREEEECH.
Oh - it's Los Angeles City
workers - pretending to
FIX A POT HOLE
in front of our house
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.
What the $@#&*+%$ do you think
you're doing?????
Oh, uh, it's the end of the fiscal year
& we have to do this
to get the money.
(Ok - first of all, it's already August,
so you missed the deadline.
Gonna lie about the date? Great.)
So, dumping bags of asphalt in a hole
& stomping on it with your stinkin' feet,
then dragging a shovel across the street
to wake up the neighborhood;
just so you can bill the City...
THAT'S THE MAYOR'S PLAN ???
It's not working, Mr Mayor of L.A-holes!!!!!
HEY - THIS METHOD IS COMPLETELY
WRONG ANYWAY - IT'S MAKING THE
POTHOLES WIDER & DEEPER.
Yeah, the City workers know it's
not the right way to fix the holes,
& now the citizens know it.
Are you blind, or do you just not care?????
Bottom line - it's inexcusable for
YOU to waste our tax $$$ on
this asinine project.
