How many of you were awake at 5am this morning because of the ongoing bird orgy in the tree next to your bedroom window? Spring in the Southland can be a challenge when our avian friends are all amped up with birdie hormones. We just have to live with it. Or do we? Animal Services departments across the area report that people regularly call them to complain, and they expect action.

And that's a whole new level of serious crazy.

On CityWatch, Stephen Box wonders what would happen if Walt Disney were the Mayor of Los Angeles. This is too scarily close to the Walt Disney acolyte who is the self-anointed mayor of Griffith Park. Hm.
It's going to be a beautiful weekend. Go outside and enjoy it!
