Cleopatra spoke nine languages, studied astronomy, medicine, and philosophy at the Library of Alexandria, and ruled Egypt for two decades through war, famine, and Roman invasion. Rome reduced all of it to one word: seductress.

California just became the first major grid system on the planet to generate more than 50% of its electricity from solar across an entire month.

Battery costs are falling rapidly, and utility-scale solar is among the cheapest sources of new power in the US.

Solar is the future.

Last week, Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area National Park Service biologists recaptured subadult male mountain lion P128 in the central Santa Monica Mountains to replace his radio-collar. They first captured P128 when he was just under one year-old, shortly after they had collared his sister, P127, in the western Santa Monica Mountains a year ago.

Tracking both P128 and P127 as they separated from their mother, P99, and explored the Santa Monica Mountains has provided the researchers valuable insights into their dispersal patterns. Notably, survival for males born in the Santa Monica Mountains is quite low, with most not making it beyond two years of age.

As NPS continues monitoring P128, it will be fascinating to observe whether he chooses to remain in the mountains or attempts to venture across freeways. If he can make it until December, there will finally be a safe way to cross the 101 if he finds himself in the Liberty Canyon area. Will he be the first mountain lion to use the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing?

There is no such thing as a high-permitting, high-cost city.

If you have demand and you aren’t permit-maxxing, you’re rent-maxxing.

There are only 2 real positions on housing:

1. We should build enough homes for everyone who wants to live here.

2. We should only build new homes for people who really *deserve* to live here.

Position #2 comes in left and right variants; but the outcomes are largely the same.

Everyone talks about coyotes like they're criminals lurking outside plotting to murder your pets, steal your man, and commit tax fraud. Most of the time, they're just hanging out eating rats.

Coyotes now live in nearly every major city in North America. Chicago has studied them for more than 20 years. New York City has them. Los Angeles has them. Your suburb almost certainly has them.

But most people never see them because urban coyotes are extremely good at living around us without being noticed. Chicago researchers found they shift much of their activity to night, use greenways, rail lines, drainage corridors, parks, cemeteries, and other scraps of habitat, all to avoid you and your dog.

Despite prevailing belief, their usual diet isn't labradoodles, cats, and toddlers.

In many cities, coyotes mostly eat rodents, rabbits, fruit, deer carrion, and other available prey. They also help suppress opportunistic animals that boom in human landscapes: rats, mice, rabbits, geese, raccoons, skunks, foxes, and woodchucks.

When you remove top predators from a landscape, you don't get peace. You usually get more of whatever they were controlling.

But here is the honest part coyote haters and lovers need to hear: coyotes will take small pets if we make it easy for them.

A loose cat outside at night in coyote country is not 'getting fresh air.' It is prey-sized animal in predator habitat. A small dog wandering unsupervised near woods, parks, golf courses, creek corridors, or brushy edges at dawn, dusk, or night is also at real risk.

That does not make coyotes evil. They're predators doing what they do, and your pets are your responsibility.

If you live in coyote country, keep cats indoors. Go outside with your small dogs. Use a leash. Pick up fallen fruit. Do not leave pet food outside. Secure trash and compost. Never feed coyotes. If one gets too comfortable near you, scare it off: yell, wave your arms, make noise, make yourself big, and do not run.

Coexistence doesn't mean pretending coyotes are harmless woodland puppies, but some really simple actions can keep you, your family, and your pets safe.
