First, THANK YOU for all of your continued support over all these years. YOUR POLLING PLACE: You can find your polling place by entering your address, here: https://electionmapping.ocgov.com/pollfind/index-new.asp?electionabbr=gen2016 It’s a bit tricky, though.  If your address is “112 E Bay Ave”, then type “112” in the first box, and simply “Bay” into the other one. Polls are open from 7:00 AM-8:00 …

Boy have we all been through it.  What should have been a simple process of legalizing Dog Beach became a year-long battle with city, county, state, and federal governments. We have had to document the cleanliness of the area: – Surprisingly, it’s just as clean as any other beach in the surrounding areas. We have had to document the safety …

Remember that Sunday morning we set our clocks BACK by one hour, so that 1:59am happens twice in one day. Daylight savings has to do with energy savings, particularly in old factories.  By slightly adjusting the clock to account for the changes in the sunrise and sunset times, employers were able to save money on heating and electricity.  Sorry, “Simpsons” fans: it has …

Wednesday and Thursday, a hit piece mailer was arriving in mailboxes throughout Newport Beach.  It attempted to cast me in a bad light– but was filled with inaccurate information. First, it says that I molested a coin-operated vending machine.  Besides the image that brings forward by the East Coast law-language, the fact is that I beat up a newspaper vending machine …

On Sunday, I did a live forum on-air at KOCI FM (101.5fm). There was a very heated moment that many heard via audio only between Phil Greer and Fred Ameri. Here’s the whole thing on video. Pay attention to who says things of material difference showing a deep understanding and solid philosophical foundation vs simply saying things which allow you …

Happy Halloween, beachdwellers! Tonight is a special night and remains one of my favorite holidays, to this day!  Remember that some people still use “live” candles in jack-o-lanterns, so baggy-clothed costumes for the young ones need to be watched carefully to ensure they don’t get too close (and also so they don’t trip!).  Inspect all candy.  Smile.  Greet your neighbors. …

Tonight starting at 6pm, I will be in a Downtowner vehicle with some Mike Glenn signs affixed to the side of it. There are, of course, several Downtowner vehicles, so I may not be in the one you hail, but if you see the cart with me in it, send me a honk or a wave! As you probably know, …

This Halloween election season, a spooky email account seems to be playing quite the role. For about a year, I have been receiving information from someone called “Whoo Dat“, who has apparently been contacting many influencers in Newport Beach for a while now.  In many of his emails, Dat refers to itself as male, so I will run with that. …

This Saturday the 29th will kick off the one-decade mark with the 10th Annual Halloween Surf Competition by Blackies.  Officially, the kickoff starts at 7am, but many people arrive about 30 minutes earlier for the festivities and costume show-offs.  In the past, the kids to arrive have received prizes.  Prizes are also awarded for the costumes, traditionally worn *while surfing*. Typically, the …

Late Friday night, the Dog Beach vote was put on pause from being voted on today. We are working with county officials to solidify this area as a permanent, off-leash area.  We will have more information on this late this week or early next week. In the meantime, please show your support for this area by: Writing the press: dailypilot@latimes.com …
