@hellwood. What you say is true also. Based on your assessment, all sports and visitors to our…Read More parks should be prohibited. Why? After every sporting event, and, after most weekends, I see all forms of trash littered throughout the park, the baseball fields, the parking lots, etc. And, all this in the PRESENCE of trash containers. When I approached a parent that littering is not only illegal; and, that birds mistake pieces of plastic as food which, as a result, kill them as well as their babies; and, that peanut shells attract rodents; and, also that allowing their kids (and, the parents) to litter is NOT a way to instill good habits amongst the children, I was told, "That's why we pay taxes...so that the city workers can clean up this mess." Could it be that some of these parents also own beach homes?

@max what you say is all true however, I live at a beach access, and there was minimal trash before…Read More it was opened to the public. after the gate was opened, the beach and highway were transformed into a dump. after a busy weekend there is crap scattered all over the place, and no way to clean it up. for every jerk homeowner here in malibu, there are at least a hundred visitors who need to be taught some manners. watching people under homes crapping while their dogs crap all up and down, setting up shop on people's decks and stairs with BBQ's and coolers, and using the residents showers and hoses is really getting old. there are no restrooms, no trash cans on the beach, and the county doesn't maintain most of these beaches which means the locals are left with the mess.

OK. Jamie, here's the deal. The money spent to restore the lagoon came from a pot of bond money…Read More (voter approved) that was intended to be used ONLY for the maintenance of wetlands here in the state. If that money had not been spent here in Malibu it would have been spent elsewhere in the state on some other wetland. Any other use is a moot point. If you felt you were attacked it was only because you did seem a little obtuse. You first made the hot rod reference. Personally, I'm more into flat sixes than flat heads. Peace and have a good one. Puuuuuuuuuuuuuur.

Sulah cat, My posts have demonstrated my belief that the “Malibu Lagoon Restoration…Read More Project” is a name that may have been created in order to mislead people into thinking it that the project would be a worthwhile public expense. The idea of restoring the Lagoon isn’t necessarily a bad idea. That being said, I believe the money spent to alter the Lagoon could have been spent in many other ways that would have served the public better. Why do you attack me personally? First, you say I’m not a car guy and then you accuse me being into flat head Fords? Fords, really? Sincerely yours,

Your worst nightmare scenario: I predict that you’d experience brain freeze if you were…Read More having a procedure right here in Malibu at your friendly gastroenterologist’s place just as a smoke alarm went off in his office. You’d be a real quandary, namely, “When, what, where and how to evacuate?” In this case, the Santa Ana winds would blow from inside, as well as outside, the doctor’s office, in which case, both you and the good doc would evacuate pell-mell (or, should I say, pell-smell?). In anticipation of this high-pressure scenario, perhaps it’s in your best interest to hop onto the I-80 and (re) evacuate the 2831.67 miles back East, from whence you came, to avoid this potential sensory overload occurrence. In the meantime, should we get hit with another fire (G-d forbid), our Firefighter heroes, upon entering your home, would exclaim on their megaphone, "OK everyone, if you follow my commands and remain calm, everyone will be safe. Therefore, in accordance with International Red Cross protocol and common-sense guidelines, please make way for Burt, the children, the woman, the elderly and, finally, able-bodied men, to evacuate, in that order!"

See the link to a recent meeting at the city that is the beginning of Paradise coves expansion. It is very quiet and no one knows but look at the plan. Currently Paradise Cove does not have the proper Zoning to be doing what they do down there. The city thinks by letting them expand that it will get people off the highway so they are in favor but in reality it only puts more money into the pockets of Paradise Cove and people will still park on PCH and Paradise Cove will continue to sends drunks out onto the road to endanger all of us.

It was worse than the biggest sewage spill that Paradise Cove ever had in the 15 years living there.

I am a mechanical engineer and it seems to me that all the scientists and smart designers have not taken into account any fluid dynamics. Water flows in, water flows out....water flows through. How hard is that? It seems to me they have designed what is called turbulence!

Dear Phil (re: Burt's column), I can’t quite put my finger on it, but, I sense an…Read More Eggs-itential undertone to all this. Does the chicken Egg-ist on behalf of the egg or vice versa? Eggs-perience will reveal the truth. To be complete, I must rehash Camus’ “The Play-egg.” Yet, as I recall, in the Book of Eggs-odous, there wasn’t a single Play-egg, but ten of them… so many, in fact, that it seems to many readers to be literally a Dozen Play-eggs. But, then again, I’m not very religious. In fact, many of my colleagues take me for an Egg-nostic. But, they are such Hard-boiled fanatics, that, in fact, their peers surmise they boarder on Egg-lectic. But, as Burt always says in da ‘hood, “Om-letting them be what they want to be.” We, however, have one on Burt: Rumor has it that he fell of the Vegan and had an egg salad… to which he Eggs-claims, “It was a serving of ‘Egg Beaters,’ you Egg-Heads!!”
