Marlene is an animal advocate and wants to warn our community to keep close tabs on our pets lest they become coyote lunch.

'I've felt it before, and there's no question,' said Lowden, 29, of Coos Bay. 'It feels like a big rock coming up under you. Almost like all the water dropped out of the ocean and you hit the bottom.'"

If you get caught with up to an ounce of marijuana, you'll be in big trouble. In fact, you can get fined as much as $100. No kidding!
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a bill into law on Friday that reduces possession of that amount of weed from a misdemeanor to an infraction. So if you've got enough on you to make three or four joints, then you're going to get into as much trouble as you would if the California Highway Patrol gave you a speeding ticket.

Los Angeles thermometer back up and recording temperatures after meltdown - latimes.com
Los Angeles thermometer back up and recording temperatures after meltdown - latimes.com: "It was so hot Monday in downtown Los Angeles that the thermometer broke -- literally.
But don't worry, the official National Weather Service thermometer was back up and running as of 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, said weather service meterologist Ryan Kittell.
The thermometer is part of a weather station in a grassy shaded area of the USC campus, and it is designed to work even during blackouts using battery backups. Monday's record 113-degree heat, however, caused an electrical component to fail and cut off the station's power supply, Kittell said."
