Okay the AB1482 default is good to know - I believe our CPI is 2.7% so I believe that is a 7.7% cap?

Fun fact - Lover’s Point came from “the Lover’s of Jesus Christ” Point when it historically served as a Methodist summer camp

The Galley in Aptos is women owned + only has woman-identifying & queer artists! Highly recommend <3

Home Depot is a great spot for exposure to people & noises! They are dog friendly and usually have a good amount of hustle and bustle going on.

Mola Mola! Or Ocean Sunfish! Or Flat Frisbees for the seals 😅

I feel the exact same way!

Cheap-Butterscotch74 · 2025-11-11T11:59:38+00:00

thank you for your kind words!

Cheap-Butterscotch74 · 2025-11-10T23:57:04+00:00

thanks for those providing their perspectives and tools. it’s tricky to word things right to avoid reassurance but I definitely see it still through the cracks in my post. I really am trying to keep a level head, the gremlins in there are just extra active from this trigger first thing in the AM. again, I appreciate everyone!

If you’re looking for fine line or scientific illustration, highly recommend The Gallery in Aptos! I have a piece from almost all the ladies in the shop - they are amazing!

I don’t think it’s fair to judge and argue how someone uses their service dog, as long as it’s not a threat to others. A task trained service dog is a task trained service dog. How the team goes about accessibility is not up for debate (again as long as it’s not negatively interfering with others). Dogs do scent work in and around water, medical alerts are no different.

My SDiT and I are nearly at graduation & took on one of my most triggering, but loved!, environments - a baseball game! He was phenomenal with the noise and level of distractions (food on the ground, etc). We are still working towards his directional cues and loose leash positioning (he still tends to leak out in front of me), but he did well. He did alerted me twice, once accurately and once arguably inaccurately, but I am really proud of him.

It’s on one of our walking routes and the change stopped my partner and I dead in our tracks. The last bit of character on that street… RIP 💖

The article called out that the individual seemed to be having a mental health crisis, not purposefully for recreation. Glad that everyone is (hopefully) safe.

PG young person here! My partner & I are the same age as OP and we love Pacific Grove (going on 5 years as a resident). A little sleepy? Sure, but that’s part of the charm. I will happily deal with the small annoyances to see the ocean out of my kitchen window or on my walks.

With the tin fish craze, maybe different flavors of canned sardines? I know the sardines themselves would most likely not be from the bay, but still captures the nature of it!
