Karl, thank you for the update. I'm looking out the window up here in Santa Maria, and the winds are picking up.

The traffic situation is going to be a nightmare. The Elks Rodeo is ending today - it's the biggest event of the year here. Highway 154 (San Marcos Pass) is the only way south and it's gridlocked. The only alternate route south is 166 East to I-5, and that's a heckuva long detour.

[BurbankKarl]

I know the 166 very well...although I havent taken it since it washed out that night and the CHP officers were lost.

I was planning on going to Hearst Castle tomorrow...think it will be I-5/46 for me.

[Inspectorette]

Strange that you mention the two CHP officers. A while ago on the thread about CHP honcho Spike Helmick getting fired (I had thought it was a regular retirement), a poster commented that he was a former CHP officer.

I replied, thanking him for his service to our state, and mentioned the tragedy that took the lives of Officers Rick Stovall and Britt Irvine. We here on the Central Coast will always honor their memory.

Thanks for the map - Vandenberg enters the scene ...

[Truth666]

... and to the EAST, Los Alamos reminds of another wildfire ..

[Truth666]

... the very same day the Pope came to Fatima one LAST time ... to deceive the catholics with the fraud of the "revelation" of the third secret.

[Truth666]

But wait a moment ... didn't this fire start the very same day that the Pope started his LAST journey on Earth and Ronald Reagan started his FINAL journey away from Earth ?

Put your faith in God, not false prophets and sourcery.

to deceive the catholics with the fraud of the "revelation" of the third secret.

By that I think you mean that the true (or "complete") third secret has not been revealed. Many more traditional Catholics feel that way including myself.

"...train trestle burned down...months to replace."

This sure screws Amtrak. All summer long.

Wildfire burns 6,000 acres in Santa Barbara County

GAVIOTA – A wildfire that prompted the evacuation of about 500 people burned out of control Sunday across 6,000 acres in Santa Barbara County.

The blaze threatened 150 homes in the gated community of Hollister Ranch as people were also ordered to leave three state beaches, said Jan Purkett, a spokeswoman for the county fire department.

The blaze broke out before noon Saturday in a section of the Gaviota Pass, about 27 miles north of Santa Barbara, and burned across narrow canyons and steep hillsides covered with chaparral.

There were no reports of injuries.

Firefighters had no estimate on when the fire might be contained. The cause was under investigation.

Put your faith in God, not false prophets and sourcery.
Thanks for the good advice, which I was able to follow - one of the main reasons was my mom, just like in the case of Ronald Reagan.

[Truth666]

Venus is still plunging (from our perspective) towards the Sun, the last area that wildfires spared since 1960 is still burning ... it's time for a flashback.

In Hebrew thought the number 40 signifies trial, temptation, exile and one generation.

August 17, 1959 - as the Catholic believers wait for the Third Secret of Fatima to be revealed, as promised, "the latest until 1960", the envelope of the Third Secret is brought to Pope John XXIII. The reading of the Secret was done a few days later.

February 8 1960 - it was all of a sudden learned through a simple press release from the Vatican, that the Third Secret of Fatima would not be revealed.

October 11 1962 - Second Vatican Council opens.  It called for abolition of the ancient liturgy. The Church no longer had enemies, said 'Good Pope John' (XXIII), as the media immediately called him.

November 22 1963 - The Council's first edict, called Sacrosanctum Concilium (This Sacred Council), was issued. St Cecilia's Day, patroness of the very music it destroyed, while in Dallas Texas, indeed while the Council still deliberated, President Kennedy was assassinated.

September 11 1978 - the Wall Street Journal reported the words of Cardinal Charles Wojtila, now Pope John Paul II, addressed to US bishops during his visit to Philadelphia: "We are standing in the face of the greatest historical confrontation humanity has gone through. I do not think the wide circle of the Christian community realises this fully. We are facing the final confrontation between the Church and the Anti-Church, the Gospel and the Anti-Gospel, Christ and the Antichrist."

Assassination attempt 1 : On March 30, 1981, Reagan was leaving a Washington hotel when John Hinckley fired six gunshots at him. A bullet lodged an inchfrom Reagan's heart, but he recovered fully.
Assassination attempt 2 : on May 13, 1981, the feast day of Our Lady of Fatima. John Paul believes that the Virgin Mary saved his life, that she changed the flight path of that bullet, so that instead of lodging in his heart, it lodged in his chest, and the doctors were able to recuperate him.

October 27 1986 - at the Basilica of St Francis of Assisi in Assisi Italy, John Paul hosted an historic prayer meeting of leaders of the world's religions. To some observers, it heralded the much-hoped-for One World Religion. It represented a precedent for a United Religions organisation that might prove the salvation of the world, preserving peace and security. They saw in it a great sign of the times and a coming together - even "a second Pentecost."

September 26 1997 - an earthquake rocked the town and caused the roof of the basilica to collapse, killing two Franciscan brothers and damaging the Giotto frescos.

[Truth666]

- By mid 1996, with every new piece of evidence being presented (one of many examples : Greenland GRP ice core, Fabre et al., 1995), evolution theory, the biggest and most devastating lie that pure evil ever found, was coming to an end, like all the big lies : in shame for the believers, who had to be confronted with the question how could they believe such a big lie for so long.

- October 1996 - the message of the Pope to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences (which allowed as members previously only "believers" in evolution), included the phrase in its french original version : « ...new knowledge has led to the recognition that the theory of evolution is more than a hypothesis ». The original : « ...de nouvelles connaissances conduisent à reconnaître dans la théorie de l’évolution, plus qu’une hypothèse ».

Here we have the first Pope in History proclaiming apostasy to be the official doctrine.
An old technique is used to mitigate the first shock : it was translated into English by the ‘Osservatore romano’, the official Vatican newspaper, as «...new knowledge has led to the recognition of more than one hypothesis in the theory of Evolution».

[Truth666]

But why was the original version of the proclamation of the apostasy of the Catholic Church in late Ocotber 1996 in French and not in English ?

One of the main reasons is Ronald Reagan !

I'll let you all think about that.
