Fine commentary by NBC.
A dead humpback whale was spotted in the water near Pebble Beach on Sunday, according to Monterey Bay Marine Life Studies.
The carcass could be seen floating near Bird Rock. It is not clear how the whale died.
Here is a better dead whale story from ABC:

Hey Montage, there may be some nice housing over on Arkwright, have a look.
Montage Health, the parent organization of the Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula, is hoping to attract clinicians to the area by providing them with short-term housing options.
The non-profit company announced Monday its purchase of two apartment buildings expected to be completed at the end of the year at 230 Lighthouse and 255 Foam Street in New Monterey for $9 million. The 32-apartment units that are part of developer Carl Outzen’s three-story mixed use project, will provide short-term housing to newly-hired doctors, nurses and other clinicians while they secure permanent housing.
Without the windmills.
“As prior owners found out, it’s a big space to fill and trying to run it as a single restaurant if you don’t have winter time local followers is going to make it tough to make it,” said McCord. “Some of the people have existing businesses in Monterey County and this would be a second location but they all realize they can’t make it on summer business alone.
“Businesses are going to have to cater to location and the locals,” he added.
“We’re looking forward to putting some more energy into that community,” said Cisneros. “But the owner is looking for the right tenants.”
The revision would prohibit owners from having their pets off leash any time in George Washington Park and would simplify off-leash hours in Rip Van Winkle from sunrise to sunset. Dogs on leash would be allowed in the portion of George Washington Park that lies north of the youth baseball field.
Come-here spend-more politicians say more taxes will solve everything.
Kampe called the argument that STRs are the cause of a lack of affordable housing “nonsense.” He said the real problem is vacant second homes, something the city has no control over.
Kampe and three other council members said they would favor keeping the STR license program, but with limitations like capping the total number of licenses, the number of nights, and other aspects. One council member, Rudy Fischer, was absent.
Only one council member, Robert Huitt, said he believes STRs violate residential zoning ordinances and should be phased out.
Collect More Taxes Or Keep P.G. Neighborhoods For Neighbors?
I don’t know what is.
On Tuesday, two of the students began painting on the sketch on a wall that is 18 feet long and 9 feet tall in the coffee shop overlooking Lovers Point. The design, which is meant to capture Pacific Grove’s unique character, features a giant teacup with an otter floating in it along with other regional imagery including a Cypress tree and flying monarch butterflies. It was previously drawn out on the wall by sophomores Kaysa Paulsen and Sofia Chang.
Funded by fees on those whale tail license plates.
That’s thanks to a grant from the California Coastal Commission, which was used to purchase a sand-friendly beach wheelchair and beach walker for disabled visitors to the beach and Conference Grounds.
“I think this site is a really good place for that money to be spent because we have so many people staying here because of the conference grounds,” said Lisa Bradford, an interpreter there who handles tours and educational programs. “There’s a built-in audience here.”
Bradford applied for the grant money that purchased the new equipment. Funding in the amount of $3,470 paid for both the wheelchair and walker and came out of the Coastal Commission’s Whale Tail Grants Program, which distributes money for programs that educate about the value of coastal resources.
Aint that stupid? Sending drugs in the mail.
A package containing furanyl-fentanyl, a synthetic opioid, sent through the Postal Service to a subject in Monterey was intercepted Monday. Deputies and the DEA served a two-location federal search warrant in Monterey on Tuesday and arrested Madeline Sweet, 28, and her boyfriend, Everette Cody Reed, 28. Both were taken to county jail. Sweet and Reed face up to 20 years in prison and a $1 million fine.
Hope no one sees my service camel.
Earlier in the public hearing the two spoke to council passionately about their pet, Bruiser, and shared a long list of myths about mini-pigs. Lisa Hanes told council that Bruiser serves as an emotional support animal for her.
City staff told the council that under the Americans with Disability Act, dogs, and in some cases, miniature horses trained to perform tasks for disabled people, are allowed as service animals. Emotional support animals could be allowed with a medical recommendation, and a determination by the city manager.
Besides pigs, the ordinance would also prohibit as pets horses, cows, sheep, goats, gulls, raccoons, deer, squirrels, geese and other “domestic, domesticated, exotic or wild animals.”
“Common household pets” like guinea pigs, reptiles, birds and rabbits would be allowed. Bees and chickens would be allowed with permits.
Hanes said her frustration also comes from the fact that during Monday’s appeal hearing, she and her husband were not allowed to present prior evidence that Magsalay doctored photos depicting Bruiser’s excrement was worse than it was. Murdock had thrown that evidence out prior to the initial July hearing and because of that it could not be presented during Monday’s appeal, according to Hanes.
“We couldn’t say anything that wasn’t presented in that initial hearing,” said Hanes. “We had to present a case that was a joke from the beginning.”
