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.

It's SoCal's season......ours doesn't start for a few months yet.
One of the 'fun' things Victoria [Oz] has in common with California - the two worst places on the planet for bushfires....

Hey Boss, I feel you on that one. The NFL's San Diego Chargers has to move their practice to Arizona!
How's that for a commute?

Ok...this seriously sucks. I can't even connect to Stardock IRC now, the connection attempt keeps timing out. And on top of that...I have to use the "Go Advanced" to post a reply because the textbox isn't there (FF and IE)! WWW Link Site is loading really slow too...other sites seem to be fine though. Why WC of all them to go crappy with. 
The damn fires are screwing with my net...waaa!!

I'm replying to you from my job with Kaiser in Livermore, I live in Stockton, 6 years removed from L.A.
I'm a diehard Rams / Raiders fan from the 60's when guys use to play for the love of the game. However I do my skydiving out of San Diego at Brownsfield airport not too far from where your son goes to school.
Tiny planet!

nekkid hug???
Seems like they go through this a lot. Probably why I didn't see much for trees when I was stationed in San Diego. Everybody stay safe.
Reminds me of a story.......from the fires we had in 1998. A few days before they evacuated Flagler County I was fishing at New Smyrna (less than 20 miles from home) with a friend on a Friday evening and the radio started listing all the road closures. By the time the list was done we realized in order to get home we'd have to drive to Jacksonville then across to Lake City then south to Wildwood then west to Deland to get home. Something like 400 miles.
I ended runnning a road block and drove thru some crispy areas but made it home.

"I'm On Fire" by Van Halen and Bruce Springsteen, "City's Burning" By Heart, "Fire" By The Ohio Players and Jimi Hendrix, "House Burning Down" By Jimi Hendrix, "Fire and Ice" By Pat Benatar, "Burning Love" By Elvis, "Fireball" By Deep Purple!
Yeah, the list would never end!
Insensitive? Maybe. But it is what it is!
I'm just glad we all aren't rocking to Graham Central Station's "Earthquake" too!

Born & raised in WLA. Lived up in Running Springs for a while. In Topanga we had average of 65 arson-fires a month. "Oh, look! See how pretty the red fire-retardant looks in the glow!" "Boy, check out all the fried rattlesnakes on the road!" "But, officer, we really do live up in there..."
