Dogs and cats
We had a great discussion on the riverside county mandatory micro-chip program and how it might now be instituted. Turns out all dogs and cats need to have a microchip placed under their skin. We learned that state wide it costs 300 million to dispose of animals picked up by the officers. Animals need to be licensed etc and those not are picked up. Fees start for the pickup and build from there to include a microchip. Many animals, I guess, are put down if the own refuses to pay the fees. I did make some suggestions on how the state might actually save that 300 million fee but no one thought they would do it.
Fishing
The fish are biting at the Salton Sea! The other night I was out on the beach and you could hear many schools of talapia up on the surface. There were thousands of them! When they get spooked the all dive under the surface making such a racket of noise, like thousands of fish splashing all at once. It was very impressive.
Big Fire Ball
When I was out on the beach later at night there was a large explosion and fire ball at the Salton Sea State Park. I did call it in and that was a real experience to talk to 911 then the sheriffs department. The fire department at north shore, who said all we have to do is call 911 and ask to talk to them, well, I can tell you that isn't true. The sheriff on the phone could but I couldn't. Anyway instead of them heading to the state park they showed up at my house looking for the fire ball. I was asked three times how did I know it was a fire ball! Really, so I told them as a kid my parents used to roast chestnuts on an open fire, so I actually have seen fire in my life and this was yellow, red and a big ball that raised up into the air. Really... Tax payer dollars at work. Anyway, I got them pointed back to the state park when I noticed that one of the engines head lights were out. I told them wow, that is really dangerous and they should keep their equipment in better shape. I just hope the other headlight doesn't go out..
Jeff Frost
I met this young talented man when I was security guarding out on the beach last Nov and we became friends. He comes out to the desert to make movies and I didn't really understand what they were or how talented he really is. He and his girl friend Stephanie stayed the night and I got to see the film. Here is a link to his site so you can see what a fantastic thing it is.. http://www.jeff-frost.com. Make sure to go full screen and if your internet can handle it go HD and you can see the

Senator Joe
He has his 40th wedding anniversary tomorrow so I took he and his wife a bottle of white wine up for the celebration. I can't even imagine being married for that long and I think it is really wonderful to see such a commitment. Days gone by I'm sure but would love to see such a role model catch on for others. Congratulations!
