Walking with mastodons?
Editor: With due respect. Mr. Hano wrote [Changing - or not - 8/8], "…used to walk downtown, bare foot, and return with the soles of his bare feet still clean" I too walked downtown, bare feet, 33 years ago and my feet were black, covered in road grime. Full Story
A grim but real message to skaters
Editor: Re: a Channel 2 report this Tuesday: "Skateboarder, 14, Will Be Taken Off Life- Support" Maybe some of our Laguna Beach kids will get the message!? Full Story
Maybe it isn't so…
Editor: I am thrilled to see the new publication Muse emerge in Laguna Beach.

…Third & Forest
Editor: Mike Hoag has an excellent and proactive idea. There are a lot of kids and residents who use the stairs from Park along Third Street to get to downtown via Mermaid (and vice versa). I see people crossing at the bottom of Third at Mermaid all the time, and it is just too dangerous given the speed and amount of traffic for that route. Full Story
Flammable flora
Editor: When it comes to fire safety here, I wonder how many people are aware of these points? •Did you know that the Blue Gum eucalyptus (prevalent in Laguna and a non-native and invasive plant) has a very high oil content in its leaves and is considered a highly flammable plant? Full Story
Plastic bags are by no means 'free'
Editor: Patriotic or plastic? "Did you find everything you were looking for? Do you have your club card with you? Would you like patriotism or plastic for your groceries today?" This is what they should ask you at the check out. Full Story
Our trash
Editor: As I was walking down the steps onto Woods Cove the other evening my eyes were drawn to a family on the beach. "Dad" had some sort of lettering about 8 inches tall tattooed all over his back. A well-fed "Mom" sat surrounded by a number of children in a litter of trash. Full Story
