Owls
There is a beautiful pair of Great Horned Owls hooting around the Alphabets. Please don’t put out rat poison! Owls are the best rat exterminators.

‘Miracles’
Wondering if Jimmy Dunne’s column on Miracles could be a regular occurrence? There is so much scary and awful news everywhere – you know if it bleeds it leads – and it would be so wonderful to soak up some positivity! Many thanks to you, and of course to Jimmy.

Coffee
A quaint coffee shop in Marquez Knolls would be just delightful.

Stop Signs
On any given day, one can sit at the Garden Cafe and marvel at the ability of Palisadians to ignore stop signs. You can get “lunch and a show” sitting at the restaurant’s corner of Alma Real and La Cruz and enjoy an entire meal without seeing a single driver stop at any of the three stop signs.

Palisades Perseverance
We met a woman whose family lost their Pacific Palisades home in the big ’78 fire, they rebuilt and have been going strong in this beautiful town ever since.

‘Native Plant Appetizer’
Converting an entire yard to native plants is a worthy goal, but it can be intimidating. Why not try converting a very small non-native plant or grass section of your yard to a California native plant section first? You can search online for “California Friendly Landscaping,” attend a free LADWP native plant workshop, or visit Merrihew’s nursery in Santa Monica. When your eyes feast on your beautiful new foliage, your lower water bill, and your greater amount of wildlife, you’ll be hungry for more.

Block Party
Everyone in our family enjoyed another terrific Marquez Knolls Property Owner’s Association Block Party on Saturday, September 14. I wish we could have more fun social events like this one in the Palisades. Thank you MKPOA!

Dogs
I am bewildered by all of the people having their dogs off leash in the George Wolfberg Park at Potrero Canyon. It is rather intimidating when two, hundred pound, Rhodesian ridgebacks roll up on your smaller dogs. It is a park when leashing is required, not a dog park.
