How to Dissuade Yourself from Becoming a Blogger - WikiHow
This is rich. : )
Frankly, there are, if you stop to think about it, far too many blogs (also websites). No one has enough life, let alone inclination to read 99.9% of them.
For example, do I have any blogs I read on a daily basis? No. Weekly? No.
Okay, and where am I saying all this?! In a freakin' blog!
(We bloggers are impossible.)

Steve Irwin; Stingrays
I was shocked and saddened by Steve "The Crocodile Hunter" Irwin's sudden death, as most of us were. Such an alive guy to be dead - almost unbelievable. He will be missed by many - me included. At least he died doing what he loved... Too soon, though!
About the stingrays... We've got stingrays here in California. I've even seen them - little ones that fishermen(persons?) have pulled up onto the local pier (along with baby sharks!).
The local T.V. news pointed out that Seal Beach has been called Ray Beach - because of its many stingrays.
In fact, we Californians, at least us in the South, have to keep stingrays in mind ourselves. As mentioned in the news in relation to Irwin's death, the stingrays can be found in the shallows so it's a good idea to shuffle your feet on the ocean bottom (making a bit of a commotion) so the stingrays will notice you and flee. Both you and the stingrays will be better off.
As mentioned in the news, stingrays are not usually considered dangerous. Most often they'll sting you on the feet or ankles and you'll hurt like heck, but you'll otherwise be all right. Irwin came across a big one which felt cornered and which stung Irwin in his heart (!), of all places. Yes, a freak accident.
BTW, wasn't Irwin planning to come out here to catch the infamous Reggie the alligator...?

Calif. to cap greenhouse gas emissions
Calif. to cap greenhouse gas emissions - Yahoo! News (AP)
Good for our state government. Sacramento's been doing a better job lately. My goodness, even got the state budget in on time, something atypical.
Good for Arnold. (He has been getting much better at being governor. Good thing for him, too, considering he wants to get re-elected this November.)
Good for everyone about this greenhouse emissions cap, really, considering how much crap California pumps into the atmosphere. (Let's be honest - it really does. It really, really does. Consider our notorious SoCal air quality, for just one thing.)

Data show one in eight Americans in poverty
Data show one in eight Americans in poverty - Yahoo! News (Reuters)
This is troubling.
Especially the part about one in five children under the age of six now living in poverty.
Elsewhere in the article it's clear that the divide between the haves and the have-nots continues to grow.
On the positive side (the "haves" side of the story?), the American real median household income rose 1.1 % - now being over $46K

Bolsa Chica Wetlands and the Pacific Meet Again - Los Angeles Times
Bolsa Chica Wetlands and the Pacific Meet Again - Los Angeles Times
This is a huge deal.
The Bolsa Chica Wetlands are being returned to their natural state - joined to the ocean - for the first time in over 100 years.
Hurray!
God bless the Amigos of Bolsa Chica for their decades of hard effort. (They're proof of what can happen when you care and believe and don't give up!)
