Cougar in the Canyon

From a Meadows neighbor:


A few days ago, a German shephard-sized cougar was spotted nosing around at the picnic tables in El Prieto canyon. Despite the hiker having 3 large dogs and blowing a whistle, the cougar circled around behind the hiker to block the forward path and continued to watch him partially concealed in the brush. The cougar definitely appeared predatory and did not run away. The hiker backed away the way he came in instead of continuing down the path the cougar was blocking.

Found Dog

This very cute and friendly Terrier(?) was found wandering around on Aralia.  No tags.  The neighbors were taking him to Pasadena Humane this afternoon as they already have two dogs.

Anyone recognize him?  We were thinking that maybe someone dropped him off in The Meadows.

SCE Planned Power Outage Feb. 18

I received a postcard from Edison yesterday announcing a planned power outage Saturday, February 18 from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

I'm assuming everyone in The Meadows received one. 

There are tips on how to prepare. It also states that we may not experience outages for that whole time.

Annual Brush Clearance Notice

I received my annual brush clearance notice in the mail yesterday.
