Please enlighten those of us in the vast middle of the nation on the issue of cheez doodles vis-a-vis seagulls!?!>> Okay, here goes for those of you who did not read the post in its entirety... Some local yokel got the idea into his head to feed cheese doodles to the area seagulls. Naturally, they became accustomed to this, knowing there was food to be had in relativ, reliable abundance, so after a while, LOTS of them were around, likely with their attendant "calling cards." It seems that the sheer numbers of these fowl got on the bad side of the adjacent propoerty owner, who then chained off his parking lot during the off hours. (Note, however, that I haven't yet visited the location, so I cannot say for certain.) I DO know that CR police have stepped up THEIR trespassing enforcement, to the extent of ticketing vehicles parked on the right-of-way.
