More ducks on the lake!

Martin Cox emailed me today:

A flock of decoy ducks appeared on the lake, two fake mallards and a fake coot! What ever next?

Maybe a fake Chinese goose.

And, in response to my query about the snake at Laguna Castle, Martin reports:

Snake has been seen again and now is estimated even bigger than 8 feet. I still have not seen it. The city is now sending someone to get it before it gets walled in or takes any of the workers for a snack.

As for the bungalow at 1600 Lucretia. Yesterday it was effectively torn down. A stop-work order was being issued today.
