Engorgeous George

Cynicism aside isn't that what secure borders, a strong military ,and well funded first responders are?

Are we sure she did not say Earl. Earl is pretty darn helpful.

I have never heard of such a thing!

My favorite from him is Accidentally Like a Martyr followed by his death sone, Hold me in Your Heart for a While

I was going to go with Desperados under the Eves at around 1.01

An ode to Beer 30, nice.

I had tsunami and then earthquake filling out my trifecta ticket.

LA, apparently, are like the oil cans in the movie The Jerk, with god playing the role of the shooter.

As if that is in any manner relevant. Would 5 k homes not matter? What about 4 K homes and 100 businesses? What about if a fire was only half in LA county and half elsewhere. You are looking for artificial parameters to make a point, which, frankly, anyone with a modicum of sense can see is stupid. (Oh, since you are stupid, please know that the word "modicum" has nothing to do with gizz.)

Might? The entire purpose of their feelings is to be hurt so they can then be used as a bludgeon to assail folks like yourself. Unfortunately it turns out that when they use their feelings as a bludgeon, the bludgeon turns out to be illusory, a threat only. It cannot hurt the righteous.

Megyn Kelly is free to express herself. Heck, she is free to do porn and I might well watch. But in this instance her exprerssion seems a bit dumb. i doubt Miss Kelly has ever gone on camera without first having gone through wardrobe, makeup, and hair people. That she wants to criticize some other vain monkey for doing the same seems out of place. Leave those types of criticism to us regular folk who leave the house without a team of folks getting us ready to face the world. Hell the only help I get in facing the world is from Jack Daniels and Johnny Walker BTW Megyn, if you want me to pay more attention to your podcase back that cameera up and pan it down to take in your legs, which should be on full display. Really they are the most interesting thing about you.

86. Bladder cancer. Sat with him for a brief time in an airport lounge in Minneapolis. No where else to sit so he asked if he could join me at my table. I said sure. We exchanged small talk for around 10 minutes before i finally placed the face. Nice fella.

If i had to guess i would guess that everyone on the system decided to wet down their lawns and roofs at the exact same time putting a tremendous draw on the system thereby reducing pressure. i would guess the system was never designed for an 80, 90, or 100 percent draw at the same moment. Now as i said, this is a guess. I have no knowledge about what happened.

We know they're out there.

Too pointed?

Lots of amazing parts of the world which would be kept amazing if we did not build in them or massively overbuild in them.

Prediction time. Will it be better than Vision Quest?

When the East Troublesome Fire threatened Grand County I drove up to help evacuate my brother and went back in after to help clean up. When hurricanes threaten in Florida i drive down to Naples from Colorado to preposition supplies to restore my sister's and my parent's home immediately after. i evacuate them to a place in Tennessee and after we return I give them a week or so of labor to get them back to some semblance of normalcy. Now my vacations are not as sexy as following Taylor Swift around Europe in the summer or taking a Viking riverboat cruise on my FIL dime, but it works for me.

Landfill nightmares coming up in California to match those in Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas.

So a stupid place to build and a really stupid place to overbuild.

Let them try breaking into my house and see how that goes for them.

I understand your point. My point is I don't give a royal sh1t if folks living off of the fruits of my labor are feeling a bit sheepish about so doing. I hope that they do not get comfortable being on the dole. I hope their discomfort motivates them. Time to stop worrying about their feelings. I worry about my feelings and my finances. When dems turned the safety net into a safety nest where those birds never leave they lost me. I will not allow my impulse towards empathy and compassion be turned into a bludgeom with which the compassionless indolent and their advocates beat me to death.

So, the state which is the world's 5th biggest economy, the state home to the greatest liberal minds and tech minds on the planet lacked the funds and the foresight and the tech to address fire suppression, an issue which arises every single year in California. Interesting.

Putting the lie to the adage that everyone needs a hobby.
