No Planet B!

I'm back in Venice after a quick fall run to Minnesota (where it snowed on Sunday!), and it is HOT. I'm not mad at it at all, but some people are. Some people want to wear their sweaters and sit by a fire. I moved to a beach town to enjoy the beach, so I'm good ... but it IS unseasonably warm.

On my Venice Appreciation walk upon my return, I saw this sign on Venezia ... with among the other statements that I don't really get why (Free Candy?!  - kind of creepy. Wall Street?! - super creepy) the sign read "No Planet B". I've been talking about that a lot lately, like it doesn't really matter who is in the Supreme Court, who is the jackass President, who wins the midterm elections, etc ... if we're no longer able to sustain human LIFE on THIS planet. Of course, the Supreme Court, President, and winners of midterm elections have some say as to how we go about saving this planet, so it IS all important ... but I think we're losing sight of the massive problem that climate change is - and aren't really doing much about it.

Each of us can do our part to try to turn things around, but I fear we may already be past the tipping point. But I hope not. If nothing else, let it be a reminder to enjoy TODAY ... because it's really all we've got.

Live it up TODAY!

Robin Rudisill for City Council - Vote Today!

The City Council election TODAY is a no brainer for me. The Snapchat protest last week showed the true colors of what I think was an accurate microcosm of Venice - and these candidates - as a whole. Robin Rudisill was out there on behalf of, and on the same side as, the true People of Venice. She spoke out saying Venice is a community, not a corporate campus. Amen. Awomen. She is also the only one who reached out to be connected on Facebook. A long time ago. That showed me she wanted to be involved on things in our community that matter to people like me. Like us. People who truly love the Venice Community - not just the opportunity to make a buck. Robin it is.

Mark Ryavec dropped by to say he liked Snapchat in Venice. Uh, no. You know who he'll be siding with going forward. And Mike Bonin was a complete no-show. I presume because it would be too sticky for him to have a vocal position on it there. Not very heroic. So, there you have it. Easy choice. Robin Rudisill for City Council if you truly care about the Venice we all know and love. Of course, you have to go vote period if you care about Venice at all, so get out there! It's important.

*Also, as I've been asked:

NO on S (it's smoke and mirrors and no bueno. Backed by huge Trump supporter. Nope.)
YES on M
NO on N

These are all decisions made after much discussion with the people that know best about them. I'd get more into it, but I have to go vote! Good luck, Robin!!!
