Location: SoCal | Guess there was some shaking at Petco Park downtown at the Padres game.
Non-event here as we are on granite...no guitars swaying or Scotch spilled.
More from the Marine Corps amphibious landing this last couple of weeks at Camp Pendleton...acutal complaignts from locals who built up against the base. Imagine that.
There was a sign outside of Whidby Island that said "The sound of freedom". |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Until recently, I agreed with you Bobbo, but I never knew anyone who was killed by a tornado, hurricane, monsoon, flood or "killer snow" and I wasn't aware that California got rid of mosquitoes. |

And how did those lyrics go, "I get high on Malathion"?
I thought most of the blood suckers were in Hollywood anyway? |

Location: big island | speaking of tornados...
Train running through a tornado...Here is something you do not see too often. This video came from a fellow who works for the RR as a train dispatcher. Every once in a while he sends a cool video involving trains. This is one of them. Trains nowadays mount cameras in their cabs, facing forward and backward, the same way police cars do. This video is a rear view camera. This is video of a train that ran through a tornado. First there is the normal rear view from the last of three engines, with the trees looking normal. Then you begin to see rain, and then, halfway through the video the trees begin to sway violently . . . and then the "fun" begins, unless you were the engineer! |
