Quite the story.
But, why does everyone need a celebrity kitty?

Thanks, Jerry, for pointing that out. I've corrected the mistake.

Hi C, Good point, & I wish we all could look at others as children first and not define others…Read More by their specials needs, disabilities, mental illness, etc. Even adults are children... :) Thanks for your comment and compliments. We strive to cover the goodness in the world, indeed! :)

I'm not a trouble maker, but let them cut my line and there will be TROUBLE!

Trust me, if this had happened at Belmont Pier, or my daughter's fishing pole, somebody would have…Read More gone to jail. Believe that!!!

Simple answer...they hold the fishing derby once a year. Ban all surfing within a fifty feet…Read More distance within the pier that day. Cite anyone that violates the issue and that will solve the problem.

All of you Red Hatters are so wonderful! And you make a difference in so many of the charities…Read More you're involved in. We would love help in our volunteer effort to get the AES power plant issue on the ballot. We are currently out collecting signatures and believe this issue has been a sensitive one for decades in this community and it's time the residents have voice. Let's give Redondo residents a VOTE. It's clear that after almost 2 years of trying to work with the mayor and our city council, they are not interested in what their constituents want. They are working 'with' AES and are arrogantly not listening to the voters who put them in office. Our only hope is a resident-led initiative that may make the March 2013 ballot.
It's important to note that the two most sensitive groups to the pollutants emitted by the AES plant (most dangerous is exposure to particulate pollution) are SENIORS and CHILDREN. This issue warrants careful consideration. I can be reached at sheri@nopowerplant.com if you'd like additional information. Two informative websites are http://aesredondomustgo.blog.com/ and http://www.nopowerplant.com/
Thank you all for those fabulous hats and all that you do! Many blessings...

Hi again Jeanne, If you are interested, you could have a sign on your lawn or help collect…Read More signatures of registered voters at the grocery stores in August and September to put their initiative on the ballot next March. They are a mixture of normal people, not zealots, many our age. Also check Building a.Better Redondo.Com Thanks!

Hi, I'm a Red Hatter in Santa Rosa, N. Calif. I enjoyed your story and the friendships you've…Read More made. I visit my daughter & family in Redondo often. I thought maybe some in your group might want to volunteer to help my daughter's volunteer group: NO MORE POWER PLANT.COM, If you agree with trying to stop the AES plans to rebuild.

the above articles tell the story. what were high school kids flying around in a drug gang war zone? if you google the area you can see the air stripes and drug grow
the area of the crash is a drug war zone. it is an area where most of the drugs are grown, processed, or shipped. and what an opportunity for a floor covering business to front a drug operation. the flooring business was hit hard with home prices falling and the economic climate. the state department allows these organizations to operate in this area? this all points to corruption and organized crime.

Ya Nancy, it's something they can take pride in. And we too can take pride in it also since this…Read More ship was a product of our massive war production during WWII, which was a main reason we won that war, and is what built our large and robust middle class afterwards by switching just some of it to civilian production.

In February,1952 I came aboard The USS Iowa in Long Beach fresh out of boot camp. Long Beach was…Read More our home port and had been since her recommissioning in August 1951. Long Beach remained our home port until we joined the Korean War in April 1952. In a way Long beach was an unusual home port. We were anchored out about three miles from land and there were no other ships around. Long Beach was a small town in those days and the people of Long Beach treated us well. The Pike was in its heyday and that is where we spent our liberties. When we returned from Korea in November 1952 our ships band struck up the tune "California Here I come" and it was a welcome song for the entire crew. I will ever be grateful to Long Beach for her generosity to the crew of the Iowa. Dale McKinnon, Timber, Oregon

Some say Queen Mary is drug slang for marijuana.
("Queen Mary, she's my…Read More friend. Yes I believe I'll go see her again.")
Why not house all city approved medical MJ dispensaries on one deck, another deck for temporarily lodging recreational users with minor afflictions and a doctor's note, a long-term care deck accommodating those with more serious pain, a hospice deck on which those sailing into their final sunset might find solace and compassion, and below all else could be housed James Cameron's massive ego, close proximity to which would automatically generate a metaphysical thrill ride called The Abyss.
