Rabbit Hunting, Traffic Lights and Toll Roads

2012 in review: Seniors ask to shoot rabbits, readers sound off on the worst intersections in town and the mayor proposes "Toll Road Tuesdays."

Rabbit Hunting, Traffic Lights and Toll Roads. How do they go together? Beats me. But they were all a big part of Mission Viejo life in 2012.

Senior communities asked permission to hunt rabbit pests in May, readers told us what they thought were the worst intersections in town and the Mayor Frank Ury suggested a toll road discount on Tuesdays.

For the fourth time, Mission Viejo's largest retirement community sought city approval last May to shoot rabbits.

Taco Tuesday? Mayor Demands Toll Road Tuesday

Mayor Frank Ury wants to know if we get discount tacos every Tuesday, why not discount toll roads?

The mayor, who's running for re-election this year, said he's voted against the last two toll road increases and believes people would use the roads more if they got a break in price now and then.

I've got some good news for the Mission Viejo Patch Whiners (®). It seems we're still migratingRead More a lot of the old content onto the new site. Expect to see videos repopulated soon, and I believe comments as well.

There is a reason why sites like Patch 2.0 don't look good on Shripathi's Kindle-whatever screen,Read More but these sites do look great on the iPhone in Portrait for Landscape view. I'll be writing a post about that. If you're a business owner with a web site, you need to understand the reason in order to save money on your site.

The Bible also tells us that there were magicians who filled Egypt with blood, just like YahwehRead More helped Moses do. As to why magicians would fill the Nile (drinking supply), and their own country with blood, and stink it all up just to put Yahweh in his place is anyone's guess. Maybe this psychic can ask one of those magicians and let us know.

The bible tells us to flee the occult.
