You Think You've Got Problems


The Monterey Herald reported today that sea lion pups are overtaking the parking lot in the Breakwater Cove area, near the Coast Guard station. The city has hired a part-time temporary worker to "sweep" them back to sea, but when he leaves at 5 p.m., they take over the place, going so far as to camp out on the toilet of the men's restroom.

Seals are being evicted here, too. Except they're being forced out of the water and the beach they birth on. So sad.

They paved paradise, put up a parking lot. Joni Mitchell was way ahead of her time.
