  1. No way he's wearing a BLM sweatshirt and is a Trump supporter
  2. John Rocker is a complete piece of shit.
  3. Exactly. It's a loss so much greater than just a house. It's a loss of the identity of an entire community. The elementary school where my kids spent collectively 11 years at, where they did pageants, plays, performances, where my son did Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts, and where he received his Eagle Scout, gone. The country club, which not only was the largest employer in all of Altadena, but where we made friendships, my kids competed in the swim program, where they both got their first jobs, gone. Our favorite breakfast spot. Gone. And so much more. Whatever rises from the ashes will be something new. Something potentially exciting. But something very different than what we lost. And much of that will never come back.
  4. After a sleepless night in the hotel, watching news reports of our neighborhood ablaze, I finally couldn't take it anymore and jumped in the car around 7 am to drive up there and see if a) we still had a home, and b) if it was there, what could I do to save it or any of our neighbors' homes. While I was more than relieved to find our home still standing, the destruction on our street was gut wrenching. After hosing down every square inch of our house, I went up the street (along with a few others) and helplessly, hopelessly tried to put water on those houses that were adjacent to blazes but hadn't yet caught. At this point, we were on our own as the firefighters were a few hundred yards away doing what they could to knock down the countless blazes consuming EVERYTHING. It was a surreal experience. We raised our kids on this street. It means the world to us. And to watch it burn was something I'll never forget. We finally convinced the firefighters that they could save at least one or two homes if they got there quickly. There was a downed powerline running across the street (as the power poles had burned down), so they had to circle the block. But they got there and definitely saved one. Another we thought could be saved, but the fire had reached the attic, and within minutes it was engulfed. January 8, 2025, was a day.
  5. Rough. That area got worked. We're just east of the golf course b/w Allen and Sinaloa about 4 blocks south of Medocino.
  6. Brutal. So sorry. 7 homes are now complete. Hope yours is soon to follow.
  7. Wayne Knight does end up transferring to UCLA
  8. Done. I don't love all the lack of anonymity necessary pay though. Would prefer name/address/phone were not required.
  9. It doesn't provide me any way to pay. The invoice is to a dead link. And why not PayPal?
  10. No, I think the issue is the PayPal account is linked to my regular email. I've got a burner gmail account for surly.
  11. OK, so I got my subscription renewal email. When I click on "pay now", it says the invoice can't be found. Sorry, what do I have to do here again?
  12. One year ago tonight, as we're already packing up my wife and daughter to send them to a hotel while I planned to man the fort at home with no power and the animals. My wife tells me "x just texted that there's a fire in Eaton Canyon." I sort of shrug and continue to help get stuff put together. Then I hear her scream. I run outside and look up on the hill. It wasn't this yet, but damn, that did NOT look good. "OK, let's get you guys packed and out of here." Fortunately I had made a hotel reservation already just because of the power outage that we were sure was going to last a couple of days. I head back in a grab some bags, and not 5 minutes later look up and see this. Uh, shit. This thing is blowing up. We gotta go. Got the 2 cats in a big dog carrier and get the dog in the car. Wife takes off, and I follow a few minutes later. Still, we had absolutely NO idea that it would become what it did. We wouldn't move back for a few months. But our home did survive. So much of our town did not.

    Bruins down 10 to Whiskey. Mick’s seat getting hotter.
  14. And we won't do shit because "America First".
  15. No. The end.
  16. My 58 year old self hates the Apple TV remote as well. I can't punch in numbers. My kids insist on using it, when our Xumo remote allows all the same functions plus I can punch in ch numbers.
  17. That missed FG had a lot of repercussions
  18. Miller needs to be held accountable when this nightmare is over.
  19. Slapping’ da bass
  20. Maybe he could build some camps for "workers" there.
