Some of the locals here like DonthateMe can relate to these fires. The sky is eerie and has a weird yellow brown.
Took this pic when leaving the grocery store.

By the time I got to the College of Ed at the top of campus (by Seventh St), I was wheezing and sneezing. Clumps of black ash all over campus.
We didn't get an alert from the school until 3:45 pm, too late for me to pack a face mask. I hope the fires are contained soon and that more people won't be displaced - I have been so slammed with life lately that I haven't even seen what caused the fire and where it's actually burning. I never forget, no matter how bad things get for me, they could always be infinitely worse by a mere stroke of bad luck.

So true. If there's one thing we learn in life, it's that. Take care, DontH8.
By the way, DontH8Me, since you're at the college, have you eaten at Thiptara (Thai food) yet? It's really good. Fresh, really flavorful dishes, great ambience and service. Reasonably priced for the quality. We think you'd like it.

Will definitely check them out. Have been looking for a good Thai place local, the last one I went to was in Claremont! I wish I lived closer to campus so I could do more socializing - I'm only there 'on business' most of the time. I was just sent an invite for drinks and bowling at the campus bowling alley but for a night I'm not there. Another invite for the Country Club in Seal Beach for next week, but it's midterms. I was there last semester, that place is very scenic

I recommend the new series 'The 11' on A&E. For those mesmerized by the macabre, like me.
I wonder if it's too late to become a homicide detective?
It's never too late - we could be a crime-fighting, murder-investigating duo like Simon & Simon. Or would it be Cagney & Lacey? Was I the only one who got a lesbionic vibe from that show, btw?
Seriously though, if it wasn't for my liberal studies major, it would have been forensic anthropology or pathology. I don't have cable so I'll have to wait for The 11 to show up on Netflix or Amazon. I'll have to make do with my Dateline and 48 Hours, in the meantime. There's also a new series available on Netflix about two female cold case rape investigators that was a decent watch. I also have Forensic Files in my queue, there's like 1000 episodes of that show so I'm not even halfway through.
I was going through my emails and I came across an email receipt of an order I placed lol that I forgot, chardonnay shopping much, lol. Anyways I ordered something and when going through the order process there was a field for business name. It wouldn't let me process the order unless the business name was filled out. Never came across that before but anyways so according to my email receipt I put in the business name "Douchebag Enterprises" LOL

Cagney & Lacey seemed manly to me...so yeah. Maybe.
Netflix? Peaky Blinders please! I have no one to discuss it with, it's amazing, start from the beginning.

Thank you for reminding me of that show - I added it to my queue a while ago and everyone groaned when I tried watching it. I added it for that Irish actor alone (from Wind That Shakes the Barley). Dark hair and light eyes makes me weak in the knees. I'll watch it alone - no sweat.
