"The brush fire was suppressed by fire crews but continued to smolder underground before high wind caused it to surface and spread nearly a week later, "causing what became known as the Palisades Fire, one of the most destructive wildfires in Los Angeles City history," acting U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said during a press conference on Wednesday. Rinderknecht has been charged by criminal complaint with destruction of property by means of fire. He was arrested on Tuesday near his residence in Florida and is scheduled to make his first court appearance in Orlando federal court on Wednesday, officials said." How are you gonna hold someone responsible for a fire that firefighters put out a week before it reignited?
Fat Tire Bike Tours are the best. I dunno how they find their guides but they always hit.
My sister was in Paris also but in 2005 with McCombs PPA. My parents couldn't reach her for 12 hours and called the embassy to get someone to track her down.
Luxembourg Gardens and the boats on the lake - felt like a scene out of Madeleine no?
Brilliant idea about the AI scavenger hunt, we should've done that. Our 7 yr old got bored at the museums quicker than the others.
Other than the pastries and crepes, what meal did your kids like best? I don't know that our kids had one specific meal they liked most but their must have item at every restaurant quickly became escargots.
Anyone remember a burger place at 2244 and 360 from the mid 2000s? They had the best jalapeno burger and they didn't last long past 2008 but I can't remember their name.
I don't think they're closing the schools but it sounds like they're moving the programs to other campuses that have those demographics in the neighborhood.
Sounds like you had a good time. What did the kids enjoy? We asked ours to research and pick one thing each. They all ended up with the Eiffel tower as their first choice 😂 but we made them come up with other things so the other three said Olympics, Notre Dame, and I forgot what the last kid chose.
Yes you're right about the younger generation not caring as much. The older generation are quite impressed with Americans speaking French (even poorly) though I find. Especially Texans.
I had to check. It's word for word what WaPo's real time blog was reporting.
