Jay Bernie Response to Betsy Goldman and Lucky:
Roscoe, my 95 pound Cane Corso (Italian Mastiff) and I are often amazed at the fearlessness with which most skateboarders approach. Although he doesn’t care in the least, I believe he looks like he would. I usually avoid shouting as they whiz by because I’m not sure if it would do any good. Besides, I don’t want to sound like an angry old guy. Hell, I even had a skateboard when I was young. Although we had no helmets or pads back then, I managed to live this long by being careful. Instead of getting upset, just remember Herbert Spencer and Charles Darwin. Survival of the fittest.

Seriously??? Does anyone care about the greater public? Kids? Families? VALUES? VNC, what the heck???? I’m not prude by any means and am extremely liberal and am a third generation Venice resident raising the fourth, but there is no threshold or line anymore. It is unnecessary. On a heavy populated beach with the needs of multiple people ignored for few who feel the need to free-boob it. The jiggling bottoms protruding from the dental floss of G-strings is hard enough to endure, and I’m in shape enough to wear a bikini myself so it’s not body envy for of you who are going there as you read. Geez. Why must we continually accommodate the desires of the few over the needs of the many? My guess is mostly men responded to the poll at the bottom of the article. Venice/Westside has all these things to boast over the last decade: Several strip clubs, pot shops more abundant than Starbucks, increased vagrant population, gridlock traffic, more liquor licenses that just about anywhere, and we must now endure boobies flying about by attention seeking women? Wow. Find a higher set of priorities ladies. We can’t have a DOG beach but instead we may have a BOOBIE BEACH! Priorities are so out of whack anymore it boggles my mind. I wish people with so much passion could put their lobbying efforts towards something meaningful that improves the quality of life for others instead of just themselves. Put your bobbies away and fight for education or the environment or something!!!!

REMEMBER Cell Phone Numbers Go Public this month!
This is an urban legend that has been passed along for over a decade now.

I takes about ten seconds. While well-intentioned, there is no need to alarm people for no good reason
YOU TUBE VIDEO is powerful. This is what our police do – arrest a man for having an umbrella and quoting scripture on the beach – a lot of religious right Americans do that – what if Sarah Palin did that? I’m so proud of the woman who videoed this and the people who said this is wrong. Maybe next time, a group can surround the man – but would they get tasered? Probably.
That required several tasers and the man moaning and bleeding and being dragged off? – And required several policemen and their vehicles? We the taxpayers paid for this? When developers are building without permits, parking cars without permits and our Councilman, Mike Bonin is overturning what the West LA Planning Commissioners have ruled? Venice is in crisis.

Here is a link to the Just released Santa Monica City Council Staff Report to “establish regulations for short-term rentals of a portion of a unit by the owner or tenant occupant.
This report will be presented and discussed at the Santa Monica City Council meeting 28 April as Agenda item 7-A.

Email version of Venice Update. Have been removing names of those who have not opened the Update for couple of months. Checked with Nick Antonicello recently because Constant Contact records showed he was not opening such. He said he did. Apparently the system that Constant Contact has is not perfect. One time I removed 50 names and continuously cull the supposed non-openers.
Please let me know if you have been removed and do read it or did read it until your name was removed. Will notify people prior to removing their names from now on. Sorry.
Nudity at the beach. It is hard for me to equate an “equality” issue with baring the boobs. I liked what our Councilman Mike Bonin had to say about tit … we just have so many more important issues. Also liked what former President of VNC Linda Lucks had to say. Erin Darling had a good comment in LA Times regarding the relevance of such.
Albertine says photo was shot with her iPhone Friday (13 Feb). It shows acrobats performing off the lifeguard station with the Santa Monica Ferris Wheel in the background.
