I'm sorry, did I break your concentration?

 I work in an office that I share with 3 other people, we're fortunate to have a couple windows that look out over this river. The water level is generally what you see in the picture but occasionally winter storms will make it rise quite a bit.
 
This area has become a state park and wildlife refuge, there are cormorants, assorted ducks and geese, falcons, red tailed hawks, snowy egrets, swallows (seasonal visitors) and our office mascot, Ed, the great blue heron.
There are also the usual lizards, snakes, mice, rats, skunks, opossums, the odd raccoon and coyotes. The river has carp, catfish, and striped bass, there is talk that the Fish and Game Dept. is going to stock the river with steelhead. There are a lot of people who fish in the river, even a retired couple who wade in and go fly fishing.
Amazingly the water and fish are tested by the EPA and other state and county agencies, according to them the water is safe and the fish are fit to eat. I say amazingly because this is the Los Angeles River, about 1 mile east of Dodger Stadium and 1 - 1 1/2 miles north of the civic center.

Interesting, by the way how'd you make out with the earthquake last week? The Chino Hills where in the epicenter of the quake. My brother-in law lives in Walnut and I know your near by also.

The quake occurred while I was on the phone with a customer, typical Ca. conversation:
me "We're having an earthquake."
her "You are?, OH! we really are having one, now when did you say my doors will be ready?"
All that happened at home was a picture fell off a shelf in the living room, the folks in Chino area had a lot of things fall off store shelves and other minor damage, but all in all this one wasn't too bad.

Same thing with my In-Laws. Stuff fell off the shelves and walls.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
