I never realized how many Freepers are in the LA and SD areas until now. I've been reading the threads for 4 days now, and I'm becoming rather familiar with the area.
What's weird is that - until just before dusk this afternoon - we here in the Palm Springs area were probably the only southern Kalifornians to have no visible sign whatever of this fire storm.
Just now has the pressure shifted enough to allow the smoke from the fires to drift eastward. I look south and see the pall from the San Diego fires, and up north over the Coachella Valley and see the smoke from the Arrowhead fires.

The people telling the reporter were chuckling as they came by wondering what the guy was going to do now.

Oh Dear God! Please help us. Send rain. Calm the winds. Send reinforcements. Foil and frustrate our enemies. If You are willing, Father. In Jesus' name. Amen.

it would be ironic if the tree they wanted to save is lost in the fireNow THAT would be poetic justice. (No offense to the tree)

As of your post, we're still waiting for people in that area to confirm. Keep reading.

Savage had calculated that the state had already lost more money then they wanted to collect in just those couple of weeks. (Not sure on how he reached the numbers, though.) And that was JUST San Diego...
He most likely did a phone survey of car dealers, used their figures, and compared the extra 2/3 rds of the license fees against the sales taxes on a new car, most of which are over $20,000. The additional loss of income for the salesmen means fewer purchases with sales tax in the state, also.

All these fires just starting are making me wonder big time what is going on right now.

Can you believe every thing that is going?
I am going to call the kids and tell them to hop a plane and get up here in the wet northwest, until the fires are put out.

Solar flare earlier was one of the largest ever! Yikes!
Interesting that we are having solar flares and all the fires at the same time....

I know it's not funny but I found the whole Chuck Henry affair laughable. Did Chuck pull a Geraldo or is Geraldo pulling a Chuck? I wish I could draw, it would make a great cartoon. Those two idiots up there in the fire trying to outmachismo each other.
