What did you accomplish today?

[tangerinegreen555]

Yeah It's almost like climate change is real......

Pennsylvania's winters are like what North Carolina's used to be.

I remember when it would snow in November and it wouldn't completely melt until March. That was the average winter here in the 50's and 60's.

Now a 60° day in January or February is nothing. There's going to be hell to pay down the road.

...I guess I'm glad my dad didn't get a job out there after all. It's a lot more low key here. I really live in a nice little town without much commotion, that's worth something in itself.

Getty fire, Sepulveda pass , another bad one this morning. .

Getty fire off 405 Freeway in L.A. destroys several homes; thousands flee

???? Missed the post, (are you sampling your stash? how is it?)

 

[Laughing Grass]

na not until tonight. I didn't realize how serious the fires are or that it's affecting so many people here. figured my inane chatter about my weekend fun was out of place at the moment.

Damn, my Homer decoration is having erectile dysfunction. It's about 15 years old so hopefully I can fix it. There is a squirrel cage fan that has crap built up on it so hopefully cleaning it off will make him strong like bull again, if not I'll have to put up a headstone for him and figure out how to light it. He has become an institution on my block.

Never had a problem, so far anyway. We had one kid that his mom used to take a picture every year of him in front of Homer until he was too big to go out with her anymore. He still reminds us of that when he stops by.

Woke up at 3am to an alert on my phone telling me to get ready to evacuate. Lol...fire blowing my way, y’all, hopefully they can knock it down. They say they’re cutting a fire break in the hills as wide as the 405 freeway, but I don’t think that’s true...I’d like to see them cut a fire break that wide through the Santa Monica mountains...lol

Be safe y’all!

YOU be safe, discretion is sometimes the better part of valor.

UCLA campus is closed. Effectively you can't go south from the San Fernando Valley (405 and all the various canyon routes)

Correct, unless you know some tricks...

I had to make some deliveries up on Mulholland during the skirball fire a couple years back...you can get creative with some of those neighborhoods.

“Not a thru street” sometimes just means the second half of the road is Private, and it still goes thru

Yeah, I lived in Burbank and went to UCLA; I'd sometimes invent very exotic ways thru the hills to get to school lol

Edit: of course this was 45 yrs ago , dunno if those ways still exist

Even more neighborhoods have popped up, it’s like a spiderweb up there, most of them connect to each other somehow
