Question--Creeper at the beach

Craig, who said anything about exhibitionists? I said one couple was "amorous," but that…Read More doesn't mean they were "near-sex making out" or anything else inappropriate or even bordering on it. I couldn't see *exactly* what they were doing, and I don't care. From my vantage point, it appeared that they were lying on a blanket, cuddling, talking, sleeping whatever. There were other in the vicinity--it was a warm Saturday afternoon--and no one else seemed to be paying attention to their behavior. The other couples he was spying on were all just sitting or lying together on their blankets. I get that it's probably not "illegal," which is why I haven't called the police, and I would never consider calling 911 for this matter--so that's why you should "believe" I "haven't already," Reeko. I don't think "daring to go out in public" means that you should be subjected to this behavior. Turnstile, I just may do that. I was toying with the idea, but my phone camera isn't very good. Who's to say he doesn't have a camera, too? Let's be clear here...this is not a guy just "out on the beach" with binoculars. I was also wondering when someone would be silly enough to ask why I was "watching him." I'm in my home, and I can see him very plainly from all of my windows and balconies--I'm not creeping on him. If I inadvertently see a guy crouching in the bushes watching people with binoculars, it's going to capture my attention. THOMAS PEREZ, I'm not even going to justify your comment with a response--though I've got a great one queued up--other than to LOL and move on. Please answer me this...why doesn't this guy just go out on the beach and openly sit near them or stand next to them and blatantly watch them? Good grief...I guess when one posts a question in a public forum, one must expect the requisite ignorant responses.

I lived on the West End twenty years ago, and lived there when the base closed. It's much better…Read More than it was, with more inviting places (to me anyway) than before. I drove down Broadway in Oakland today and the City has added some really nice hanging flower baskets. They are going to look spectacular later this summer. Maybe the City could do something like that on Webster. As if they have extra money for stuff like that, but one can hope. The baskets are up high so they are beyond the reach of ordinary vandals.

Good point, Gevin! Forgot about the dog park!! Recently a woman with a big, off-leash Rott stood…Read More by and watched him take a huge dump at the water's edge, then she continued on her way without cleaning it up. The park police got here in time and paid her a visit, and she was none to happy about that...made my day. Unfortunately, a family with 2 little kiddos set up their blanket right in front of the Rottie's toilet spot shortly after she walked away, and I'm sure the kids were all over it. The no-dogs allowed ruling was probably inspired, at least in part, by irresponsible pet owners like her.
