Or near that huge golf course pictured in the lower right of the sat photo. rolleyes.gif

thats the salton sea ya moron.

got a better idea of the scope of the fires now?

 

Oh, thanks for setting me straight, chicken little. I thought it was just Plam Springs and the surrounding desert cities area.

 

The fires are unfortunate, because so many homes are burning and people have been killed. In scope they're really not much different than fires in BC this summer and you weren't all up in arms about them. This sort of thing happens every few years in CA when there is the right mix of santa ana winds and dry temps. Later this winter there will likely be a lot of rain and massive mudslides with homes falling off into the ocean after being reclaimed by the sea. Stay tuned to your news station for CA devastation 2003/2004.

i actually was all 'up in arms' and shit bout the kowloona burn. forest mismanagement or dourght or whatever. that community took a heavy hit.

the socal fires concern me more tho cuz my family and friends have been affected. i got through to my sister this morning and she got access back to her neighborhood. most houses were okay. a neighbors yard was burnt and smoldering. she said it was wierd cuz here is this smoldering fire but no one around trying to put it out. fire suppression resources are just spread too thin.

i havent heard bo0ut my aunt and uncles house or my cousins in san diego. theyve been evacuated. cant get through on the phones anymore. 'lines busy'.

CALIFORNIA DEVASTATION 2003-2004!!!!

 

"This is NEWSTIPS, live on the scene. As you can see from the pictures of the dead babies, and the little kid shreiking tears over his mother's corpse, things are bad down here. It appears as if the hell-spawned reek-mouthed Angle of Death has spread his wings over Southern California. It's aweful. Just AWEFUL. If I didn't feel morally compelled to do my job, I'd be back home safe with my family, instead of exploiting these poor people's misery in order to gain advertising dollars.

Pavement has a great song on the Crooked Rain album.

Unfair

 

Down to santa rosa half moon bay

Across the grapevine to l.a.

We’ve got deserts, we’ve got trees

We’ve got the hills of beverly

Let’s burn the hills of beverly!!

 

Walk with your credit card in the air!!

Swing your nachos like you just don’t care!! (your guess is as good as mine)

This is the slow sick sucking part of me

This is the slow sick sucking part of me

And when I’m sucking kisses diee..worrkk [? ? ]

 

Up to the top of shasta gulch

And to the bottom of the tahoe lakes

Manmade deltas and concrete rivers

The south takes what the north delivers

You fill hack? ? ?

 

Lost in the foothills of my mind

Drinking sterno, say good night

To the last psychedelic band

From sac’to, northern cal.

From sac’to northern cal.

 

Take it; neighbor; cuz you’re my neighbor;

And I mean famous; you’re my neighbor;

You do me favors; cuz I’m your neighbor;

I’m not your neighbor, you bakersfield trash.

Traaaaaash! traaaaaash!!!

The Dead Kenedys have a song about fires in Southern California. Anyone know the title? Would like to post lyrics.

Don't know about that one, but this song by TDK's seems apropos for you, Dave.....

 

Too Drunk To Fuck

Went to a party

I danced all night

I drank 16 beers

And I started up a fight

But now I'm jaded

You're out of luck

I'm rolling down the stairs

Too drunk to fuck

Too drunk to fuck

Too drunk to fuck

Too drunk

To fuck

I'm too drunk, too drunk, too drunk

To fuck

I like your stories

I like your gun

Shooting out cop tires

Sounds like loads and loads of fun

But in my room

Wish you were dead

You ball like the baby

In Eraserhead

Too drunk to fuck

Too drunk to fuck

Too drunk

To fuck

It's all I need right now

Too drunk to fuck

Too drunk to fuck

Too drunk to fuck

Too drunk

To fuck

I'm sick soft gooey and cold

Too drunk to fuck

I'm about to drop

My head's a mess

The only salvation is I'll never see you again

You give me head

It makes it worse

Take out your fuckin' retainer

Put it in your purse

Too drunk to fuck

You're too drunk to fuck

Too drunk To fuck

It's all I need right now

Oh baby I'm melting like an ice cream bar

Oh baby

And now I got diarrhea

Too drunk to fuck Yeah, Yeah Yeah, Yeah Yeah,

Yeah Oooohhh...

I'm glad your family was safely evac'd and hope they don't lose their homes.

 

Back in the mid 90's there was another huge set of fires in San Diego. I had family evacuated and they called their house periodically to check whether the answering machine picked up. If it didn't they figured their house was gone. Fortunately they were spared.

Yeah, my Dad and his wife and my sister and her three kids are among the evacuated in San Diego, though it sounds like their houses survived. There was a full on firestorm in the canyon across the street from Dad's house. You know its a serious deal when my father is camped out in my sister's grotty half demolished project house in another part of the city. I'll wager that Santee Boulders and Mission Gorge, the places I learned to climb, are well crisped as well.

CHUCK D:

 

Burn Hollywood burn

I smell a riot Goin' on

first they're guilty now they're gone

Yeah I'll check out a movie

But it'll take a Black one to move me

Get me the hell away from this TV

All this news and views are beneath me

Cause all I hear about is shots ringin' out

So I rather kick some slang out

All right fellas let's go hand out

Hollywood or would they not

Make us all look bad like I know they had

But some things I'll never forget yeah

So step and fetch this shit

For all the years we looked like clowns

The joke is over smell the smoke from all around

Burn Hollywood burn

 

ICE CUBE:

 

Ice Cube is down with the PE

Now every single bitch wanna see me

Big Daddy is smooth word to muther

Let's check out a flick that exploits the color

Roamin' thru Hollywood late at night

Red and blue lights what a common sight

Pulled to the curb gettin' played like a sucker

Don't fight the power ... the mother fucker

 

BIG DADDY KANE:

 

As I walk the streets of Hollywood Boulevard

Thinkin' how hard it was to those that starred

In the movies portrayin' the roles

Of butlers and maids slaves and hoes

Many intelligent Black men seemed

Io look uncivilized when on the screen

Like I guess I figure you can play some jigaboo

On the plantation, what else can a * do

And Black women in this profession

As for playin' a lawyer, out of the question

For what they play Aunt Jemima is the perfect term

Even if now she got a perm

So let's make our own movies like Spike Lee

Cause the roles being offered don't strike me

There's nothing that the Black man could use to earn

Burn Hollywood burn
