Los Angeles River: Fragile Ecosystem At a Crossroads

So this morning* I went for a bit of a jog.

The goal was to ramble aimlessly around Chris and Rachael's place, check out some scenes, and make my way back in time for some blogging.


And then I came across the splendor of the Los Angeles River**, and I knew I had to draw attention to this special place.


Cats, or "Reminds me of the cover of this"

Dip my toes where the river flows

Like so many of our natural resources, I fear the Los Angeles wetlands may vanish forever if something is not done to reverse the destructive trend that has probably been in place for decades or something.

Let's all do our part to make sure the wonderful smells of this unique place remain pungent for our children to savor in the future. We can each only do our part, so let's start by doing that a lot.

Thank you for your donation. Your Los Angeles Wetlands vinyl decal*** is in the mail.


*Editor's note: I actually went for this jog last Friday. Linear time, y'all!
**Did you even know such a thing existed? The Los Angeles river? Sounds like something out of Demolition Man.
***Fits windows of all Suburu models.
