A coworker mine caught two more Oriental Fruit Flies close to each other, this time northwest of downtown L.A., so that meant more news media work. You may have caught me on KNX AM 1070 (where my childhood classmate Ms. Reyes does traffic!) or saw me on the KNBC-TV Channel 4 News.
Also, I was in today's San Gabriel Valley Tribune, talkin' 'bout a weed abatement issue. You see, Fire departments make sure that property owners with houses or businesses or some other structure on their property do proper brush clearance on their property. My coworkers enforce brush clearance on "unimproved" (unoccupied) parcels.

Brittle Brush Beautiful, Dangerous

"Our people have been working with the residents," said Ken Pellman,
spokesman for the L.A. County Agricultural Commissioner. "It's ongoing."
He added that the county commissioner's office has "no dispute" with the state Fish and Game department.
Pellman said the threat of fire is mitigated by a paved emergency access road that separates the weeds from homes.
"It's not what we consider a real high fire hazard," he said. "It could burn, but it's not the highest priority."
