Mod: Some notable Sierra Madre personalities have taken their acts on the road. Here are several brief yet peripatetically inclined items for your Sunday reading pleasure.
Sierra Madre's favorite bagpiper is back from Scotland

Mod: Apparently Chelsea has been busking on the cold hard streets of Hollywood in that snapshot. One person I was discussing this with yesterday saw the above picture as a possible reason to question the authenticity of Chelsea's ties to Sierra Madre. But I look at it this way. Being true to the art of the bagpipe as a daily lifestyle commitment is quite an act of dedication. How else are you going to make your living doing such a thing except to travel far and wide plying your craft to the passersby? You might also notice that there is no police surveillance evident in this picture. Are you scared?
News of the continuing political struggles of Joe Mosca

Mod: The above comes our way via a somewhat satirical news site from Roving Joe's present political stomping grounds called Encinitas Guerilla (link). Apparently for those who have actually lived in Encinitas a bit the lack of local expertise from their recently appointed City Councilmember has become something to poke fun at. Which is troubling because you do know how unpleasant the former Sierra Madre Mayor can become when he is not treated like a big boy.
Marilyn Diaz is being paid to tell others how to run their Police Departments?

Mod: The rest of this article, which comes from a paper called The Courier-Herald, can be accessed here. I don't even know where Bonney Lake is, so I certainly can't vouch for any of what is being reported on. However, I will say that when you consider the dysfunctional mess the Sierra Madre Police Department was left in when Marilyn Diaz's career here finally ground to a halt, the thought that she is actually being paid to tell others how to run their departments is a little baffling. But that's consultants for you.
