Remember what I was saying yesterday about how deadly my area is?
Well, now there are at least two fires within breathing distance. On the way to work this morning I could see the fire to the east – then when I went to lunch there was a brand new one apparently due north.

On Saturday we woke up dark and early before the sun in order to catch our Uber to LAX before 7am. We were flying southwest and had checked in the day before right at the buzzer, the instant we were allowed to, but still ended up in C group. When we finally lined up we […]
Our train arrived in Paris after sunset and we tried to use the “easy” subway system we experienced in London and Brussels but were quickly stymied by a glitchy machine that wouldn’t keep English selected past the initial screen.

wow, well you guys had a rough day, didn’t you? Sorry to hear that.
Not only did cars crash, but someone died. Who knew SoCal was such a dangerous place to live (ignoring earthquakes)?
