Fires in SoCal
Tuesday, October 23, 2007 by kona0197 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
If we have any members in SoCal I hope you are OK. I heard we might be sending Oregon National Guard troops to help put out the fires.

Where's the smokin' Winky?
All jests aside, good thoughts and paryers are going out.
If you evacuate to Houston, drop a line. Maybe it's time for a meet-up.

WOW!
You know the truth about the towers!!
Sadly if you take the tour today the story has progressively changed over the years to the point where everything we ever learned about Rodia isn't even mentioned the way we were taught.
I took my sons there and the tour guide started talking and I was like what in the hell are you talking about?
I guess that's why they call it His-story
FYI: It was the Disk Jockey from radio station KGFJ Montigue The Magnificent who started the term "Let Watts Burn, Burn Baby Burn" in '65. And the people went and did it! The '65 riots started on 103rd and Grape St, I was living at 105th and Compton Ave.

I think we went a little off subject here, but then when don't we. 
Just saw on a Fox News feed that central California had something like a 4.5 earth quake yesterday. Hate to think this way but what else can happen? Oh, I know, your Governor make another movie!

Not really John, if you read along you'll see historically So Cal is always burning, there's always a quake. That's life in Calif. Seldom, WOM and myself are OG survivors from decades of aftermath.
There was also congressional talk about dividing Calif into two seperate states at one point, but that didn't happen.
And our Gover-nator is too busy stamping out flames at this time to make a movie!

Well, geologically speaking and according to our plate tectonics and natural erosion, California is going to shake then break off and become its own island and the new west coast will begin in Arizona and Nevada. So invest in the upcoming Beach Front property now.
And to reiterate the point of this forum Bebi Bulma (San Bernardino County) and HG Eliminator (San Diego County) are dead in the middle of what you're seeing in the news. The fires are burning in seven counties, LA, Riverside, Ventura, Orange and Imperial.

4.5 is minor depending on the epicenter John and I'm situated 400 miles north, we didn't feel it up here.
My sister and my sons are down there in Los Angeles and they said that you could hardly feel it where they're at.
So LA's quakin' and bakin'!

I'm telling you, OG survivors right here! I don't miss it either WOM! Back in '99 once I started seeing traffic jams at 2 and 3:00 in the morning, I knew it was time to leave Los Angeles.
I was working then at the KTTV Fox newsroom on Olympic and Bundy and lived in Northridge 18 miles away. That 18 miles took 1 hour 45 minutes both ways! Yeah, it was time to go.
And then there's Seldom taking me on a walk down memory lane too!
Hey Seldom, I'm having childhood flashbacks thanks to you!
This link's for you Seldom and make sure you listen to the theme songWWW Link

West LA to Running Springs to Topanga, that's some bouncing Seldom!
People don't realize that Los Angeles is as big as some States and Calif is a very large Country!
