I love our library, and our librarians! Thanks for the quick response!! It would be awesome if all the libraries went RFID, but I understand it might be cost prohibitive for some. I think moving the post-its to the inside cover would solve the prob…

Excellent feedback Dave! I'm a librarian at OPPL and can speak to some of these items, though my opinions do not necessarily represent those of the library, etc. I encourage you to contact the director, Dee Brennan (dbrennan at oppl dot org) if you'…

We're kind of addicted to the library in our family. So we were pretty excited about the SWAN transition (more info here, on the OP Library site http://www.oppl.org/swan/index.htm). If you aren't in the know, SWAN is the System Wide Access Network…

I have to second Smoke Daddy and Fat Willy's. I think they both beat Smoque hands down. Not that either are near OP... :)

I just sent you an e-mail!

I hope you're able to get rid of them soon. They've found mosquitos on the NW side with West Nile. Here's the story from the Trib.

Yes, I just had my dogs there last week, and Jill (the owner) said they are planning on opening in the fall. They will have a doggie day care and do boarding services as well. I'm torn--we've had really good experiences with Camp Bow Wow (on Roosev…

A Google search of "natural mosquito repellent recipe" came up with a slew of recipes. Also, LHOP member Lola Pfeffer Wright apparently came up with a recipe that works for her kids...perhaps message her. BTW...it's not just your yard...it's everyw…

Yeah, we're in pretty bad shape. Something definitely has to be done... definitely cost cutting is in order. Unfortunately, I think a tax hike is also going to be necessary. But only raising taxes won't do it... we have to belt tighten.

I think the mosquito hit is from the wetter-than-average June we had this year.

Try CA Baby bug spray (citronella based) or Repel (oil of lemon eucalyptus). Those options are way better alternatives than spraying your whole yard or using a DEET based product. Bugs love me and my children, so I have researched this extensively.…

No, no standing water. I have no idea where they are coming from... Maybe one of the neighbors? Guess I'll try to do some 'sleuthing' :)

Check your backyard for standing water. If you have any kind of still water in the yard, it is going to be a breeding ground for mosquitos.

We seem to have a really bad mosquito problem here this year... and they are attracted to my toddler with a laser-like focus. Does anyone have any suggestions for 1) getting rid of the damn things or 2) stopping them from attacking my kid? I am try…

It sounds like this will be awesome... I can't wait! My whole family were suffering serious withdrawal when Dole was closed... :)

They have also put up a ton of "Idling gets you nowhere" signs around Whittier. I see them when I'm out walking the dog. I think they make sense to put up in school zones and other places where people idle and wait for kids, etc. But Joel has a real…

Hi Dave, thanks for joining! I'm so with you on the Marion Street Cheese Market. I've never met a slice cheese from there that I didn't like. Have you gone to any of their classes? We went to one a few months ago on Italian cheeses. It was great.
