You're lucky. Things seem to get crazier here every day.

About two weeks ago we had a major street gang write graffiti all round the neighborhood.

I helped my next door neighbors complete the painting over process.

Shoplifting was a major problem the last time Godzilla came through. of curse, he lifted a *lot* of buildings.

MS felt it where he is, but he's ok and no damage in that area

feel the vibes man, feel the vibes

Lionel Hampton is much missed.

unfortunately even the "great" people have to go. But what "they" leave behind in they're "field" can live on forever

Forever doesn't last as long as one might hope.

This is not necessarily a bad thing. It makes sense to keep moving forward, responding to daily challenges. Great people of the past might have left behind some useful material for living, and yet it's too easy to become mired in the past.

even the wheel has been "reinvented" many times

It has been proved to be a "revolutionary" invention

what comes around goes around

never trade in wheels you can't get a square deal at anytime

Scotch on the rocks! Certainly sir, I'll just refill the ice bucket

"I know I ordered ice, but this is ridiculous," Astor when told the Titanic had hit an iceberg.

Baby bergs are as cute as kittens or bunnies. They're also refreshing in hot weather.

tow icebergs to counties short of water

How would you do that? Such counties are usually well inland, and many are not near navigable rivers. It's precisely the presence of rivers that helps prevent water shortages. Icebergs would tend to melt if you towed them in trailers along the highways. The water could make the roads slippery and unsafe .

Hello, folks..

Hope all of you are doing reasonably well.

The ground has been still, the weather hot and the smog has been getting worse. Typical L.A. in July

It's been bad in the Ridgecrest area. I hate to say it, but I'm glad that I'm here, heat, bad air, crime notwithstanding.

Paul, build a "special harbour/dry dock" and then allow ice to melt and pump it inland.
