They need to take marketing lessons from Buffalo... It’s not a former dump; it’s a nature preserve!

Only nature preserve I’ve ever seen with vent pipes sticking out of the ground...

It's how they let nature breathe!

I still say that you need to add a SS to your quiver.

My birthday's coming up. Large please.

Let's set up a GoFundMe page for Ed's future SS!

And Clark Park. And baseball fields. And houses. And the Chevron oil fields in what is now called Coyote Hills.

They totally blew off Amerige Heights, which used to be Hughes Aircraft Company property. Just about a mile away. But the FLoop is still awesome.

Maybe I missed it elsewhere on the site, but today is the 50th anniversary of the lunar landing. Something to celebrate. Also something to kick us in the collective arse and ask why we've gone backward since. Thank (insert favored deity) the SpaceXes and such are stepping up.

We have lost channels 2 (CBS) and 9 (KCAL). I know they are under one owner so I guess I am not surprised to see both gone.

Anyone else lose them?

Lost. Not missed. Very, very close to cutting the cable (satellite).

I might look at the TV once every couple weeks. The wife has to have the throat slasher shows.

Pulled into a parking lot and parked in one of the only open spaces. Right next to a full size black dual cab 4x4 pick up truck. I'm chillin' in the car ( a little Sentra) doing some emails for work on the phone. Guy comes toward the truck with a dog, see me and decides to go around the other side to let the dog into the cab. Come back around opens his driver door and says in an aggressive tone; " Don't park next to big black trucks, we need the room ". Like WTF?

All right, you two... Enough with the @Mikie bait. He's not going to bite... this time.

Nope, channel 2 news works right now on our insane concept, non-traditional but much cheaper TV service.

I also saw a snake today at El Moro.

If you must have them, Locast is your friend.

Without channel 2, there is no Judge Judy. Or, is there?

With the Amazon Fire stick you’d be able to watch all the Judge Judy you’d want via YouTube app. If your tv is a smart tv you can do the same with most.

I have access to just about every TV channel, and every movie ever made... I prefer to leave the TV off and ponder the depth of the black screen. Unless the Angels are on.

Why would you watch the Angels on TV when you can drive up Int 5 and attend home games?

Being at an MLB game is magical.

The Crescenta Valley experienced a one hour power outage today. I hope that this is not a sign of things to come.

Its amazing how much our lives are effected by a simple loss of electrical power.

So it’s okay if it’s another color?

Parking lots are not designed for full-size trucks. Can’t handle getting the shite beat out of yours in SoCal parking lots? Don’t buy one. And if you do, don’t be a dick. Seems simple enough, but truck owners generally aren’t the intellectual pillars of society. And I own a truck!

Thanks!
We leave the OC fair just after 11pm and that takes away one of our routes home to Alhambra.
Now I wonder what they are doing to the 405 at that time...
