Invisible L.A.

The weather is getting hot. Of course, on the summers hot days there’s no better place to spend your time than on the beach or on a boat. For those of you that plan to boat, I recommend that you check out the The United States Coast Guard’s Sector Los Angeles – Long Beach blog. The offical weblog provides provides information concerning Coast Guard operations, missions, functions, and responsibilities which include providing search and rescue, marine safety, security, and environmental protection throughout the harbors and waters of California.

Some of the Regulations that you can learn about as as follows:

Stay Clear of Pilot Operating Areas.

Don’t Impede Vessels in Narrow Channels.

Maintain a Proper Lookout.

Maintain a Proper Radio Watch.

Vessels operating too close to a large vessel and impeding their safe passage are considered to be negligently operated.

I have to say that since I moved to the L.A. area in 2000, Burbank Airport, a.k.a. Bob Hope Airport (BUR), has been my hub of choice. I beg friends to choose that as their arrival point and leave from there whenever I can.

Alisa Apps music video CONFUSION, which is not set for official release until March, already hit # 2 on the UK YouTube music charts

Pop singer Alisa Apps, without a major record label, has launched her website and singing career just 10 days ago. She has announced that she is not seeking to sign with a major record label.

A few weeks ago, when my daughter was down visiting, she asked me one cold and dreary afternoon if we could go for High Tea. I thought that would be a grand idea, and the trusty internet lead us on an adventure for the afternoon! Take a look and see what happened…
