How is everyone who lives in SoCal? Please report.
So far, so good! at least in my neck of the woods. The evacuation orders have been relaxed, you can enter the area with proper ID. Winds are kicking up again so I guess I'll be sleeping with one eye open again. I did manage to put lawn sprinklers with analog timers on the roofs. Getting sprayed with cold water when the wind changes direction is no fun, especially in the middle of the night.

Here is an interactive map of the fires in the US. Can you tell I may be a little obsessed by this? I'm starting to miss the horsey "aroma", this smoke and ash stuff is horrible.

Can’t blame you at all. I obsessively refreshed the map coverage of the Oct fires!
I know exactly what your smelling...it’s awful! Do you have a headache yet?

I saw another tonite, Bbear. I did NOT like it. From nearly Santa B all the way down to Vista. :(

The winds here SEEM to be dying down. Maybe it's my 1/2 full imagination, but they were predicted to subside starting tomorrow. Please do sleep with that eye open...


Kat's been around a couple other threads this evening, so doing ok.

I've been lying if I said I was ok. We're fine physically, but definitely not emotionally. I have way too many friends in the fire zones, and welp, I'm smack dab in the middle of them.

I'll continue to lie if that's what might make everyone more calm, but I can tell you in all truth that I am not.

I apologize, guys. I'm WAY out of sorts.



Maybe taking a Kat nap now?

Yeah, right. ;)

How is everyone who lives in SoCal? Please report.

I'm right smack in the middle--fires to the North of me and two new fires to the South. A couple of smaller brush fires nearby (San Bernardino, Riverside) swiftly dealt with by our heroic FD. But the devastation in So Cal is indescribable. Just a couple of months after the NorCal (Napa) fires. I've never seen fires this bad, and I've lived here for years. And no end in sight. No rain in the forecast--just more winds.

ETA: I've been trying to find this video online since I saw it on TV last night--thanks for the link, @FlamingoTutu . :)

Watch it and weep... God bless you, Mr. Gonzalez! :wub:

Kat.

I'm kind of with Anna on this one.

if he's guilty. he had it coming. all of the following have the same teaching.

Karma
Ye reap what we sow (Jesus)
the Wiccan Rede
what goes around comes around

the problem is when you celebrate anthers downfall. it seems you are planting some seeds too and telling the universe that some do not deserve a fair trial. that somebody may just be YOU!

Ready for slings and arrows

Anna, I've read your points, and you most assuredly have a right to them.

I do believe that the vape world will just be mumbling one word specifically today. And yes, it's Karma.

This man sowed his seeds of hurt, possibly to individuals, but definitely to a large segment of the population (we vapers).

He's now been discovered. Reaping, him.

I don't feel gloat. I am more in the mindset of "it's about f'lippin time".

I thought I would die with a stinky in my hand

Thank you very much! It’s almost been a year that I’ve been here and know more about vaping than I ever thought possible! AND haven’t had one drag of one cig! People who haven’t seen me in over a year are shocked at how I’ve stayed off the cigs. I think they thought I’d smoke forever (I certainly did)!

For all you Pico lovers - clearance resin!

Eleaf iStick Pico Resin 75W Mod

No free shipping on clearances, but if you buy a couple the DHL shipping gets manageable and it gets to the states in about a week. Four with DHL shipping works out to just under $23 each.

I've held off on the Pico but always liked the resin version look and weight. I think it's time to jump in!

great deal. but already have four Rico's in my stable.

I LOVE the little Pico. great size, pocket friendly. fires 1-75 Watts, easy to use, does both TC and power mode, and weighs less than many mods

only one problem. attys 24 mm and larger will not fit

be careful what you pray for. YOU JUST MIGHT GET IT!

heres my story. Unfortunately its all true.

I have told you of my Martial arts training.

this part of my story starts before that.

I grew up in a Haunted house and things were definitely weird. most children are blessed with 5 senses. I was cursed with 8 senses.

when I was 3 my clairsentience ability kicked in and I could feel the studs and electric wiring behind the plaster board.

When I was 5 my clairaudience ability kicked in and I could tell my guardians who was calling before they could answer the phone. my guardians were Baptists and labeled such gifts as Satanic then did their best to beat Satan out of me.

also at this time a distant relative taught me to do magic but not the ethics of magic. so I started to wield the powers I had been taught to influence people against their will.

when I was 6 years old my clairvoyance ability kicked in and I saw the ghosts haunting the house a few months later I started spiritual warfare with what Art Bell labeled Shadow people.

I told my guardians about the demons and was beaten for lying.

next I asked the pastor to do an exorcism or house blessing to drive the demons away. Mr. Anderson patted me on the head and said "My Goodness! What an imagination!

I then told my doctor Boyle Jones MD about the demons and he put me on tranquilizers.

the tranquilizers weakened my defenses and I became possessed by one of the demons.

during time of being possessed things went beyond the Twilight zone kind of weird.

once I flew into a rage at Uncle Bill after being beaten four times for the same offense.

I went outside and pulled an iron fencepost out of the ground and bent it double around a tree trunk

this is how I got to be such a messed up kid the school system demanded I be trained in martial arts when I was 10 years old.

about the age of 14 I became an athiest because no kind loving God would allow that to be done to a child.

I lived as an athiest until I received a miraculous healing from Cadre Pio who died in 1968.

1996 I was sick with the flu and so sick I should have been in a hospital. I was watching Unsolved Mysteries. They presented a segment on Catholic saint Cadre Pio.

after the segment was over I spoke aloud. "Since I'm an athiest I dent have the right to ask. but if you're real help me.

first the room filled with scent of roses and this incredible energy entered my feet passed through my body knocking me unconscious. I woke up the next morning 100% healthy. have carried a Cadre Pio medal in my wallet ever since
