Going Backwards....

Wow, this really bothers me. It's one small step for LA, one giant leap backwards for San Diego....I say boycott KNSD until they understand how wrong this is.

From SignOnSanDiego.com:

San Diego forecasts to be reported from L.A.
2:00 a.m. June 26, 2009
Beginning Monday, local weather forecasts on KNSD/Channel 39 (Cable 7) will be brought to you from Los Angeles.
The local NBC affiliate announced yesterday that KNSD's weather reports will now be done by Fritz Coleman of sister station NBC4 in Los Angeles. Coleman – who will still do the weather for NBC4 – will replace KNSD weather reporter Pat Brown, who has been with the station for eight years. Her last day on the air is today.
According to KNSD, Coleman will do his forecasts from a “specially equipped set” at the NBC4 studios. His forecasts will air weekdays during the 4, 5, 6 and 11 p.m. newscasts. –K.P.

Serra Mesa Library Trail

Saturday we made great progress on this trail, thanks to an Eagle Scout from Tierrasanta and his troop. Despite the heat, the effort took out lots and lots of iceplant, re-routed a key part of the trail, widened several segments, and installed some signs identifying native plants. There is still some trailwork to be done, but again, lots of progress was made.

While working, I heard a mockingbird calling a warning, and figured it to be a hawk causing him concern rather than a cat, given the tall trees and the canyon setting. Sure enough, I saw a Cooper's Hawk fly out of one of the eucalyptus, being chased by three hummingbirds and the mockingbird! Later I also heard a Nuttal's Woodpecker. What a nice little canyon this is, and now even better.
