LAPD Topanga Issues Bulletin Regarding Multiple Armed Robberies On Ventura Blvd In Woodland Hills
I got a rather frightening alert through the LAPD/Nixle system just a few moments ago:

Something like this just goes to show you how much crime the mainstream media misses in its local coverage. I haven’t read about a single armed robbery of a business in Woodland Hills this month in any news source, but obviously they are happening. Disturbing.

A Healthy Hump Day At Whole Foods In Woodland Hills
$5.99/lb Hot Bar/Salad Bar (Wednesdays Only)
As per yesterday’s post, I dropped by Whole Foods this evening for some hot bar action. Our Whole Foods’ salad/bar and hot bar is small by comparison to some of chains larger stores. If you ever have a chance to check out the one on Lincoln Blvd in Venice, I highly suggest you do. It will blow your mind.
That being said, I snapped the above shot of the promotional sign, encouraging one and all to have a healthy hump day – back by popular demand. I also noticed that they’ve expanded the meat-based entree offerings. I used to jokingly call this the ‘high carb bar’ – however, it looks like they’re working on that.
Oh, and I also picked up a package of their Caribbean Fruit & Nut Mix. It’s awesome, and one of my guilty (or guiltless?) pleasures. It’s full of wonderful fruits and nuts, including the heavenly Brazil Nut. Yes!
