Well, I found out what was up with the two engines and paramedics. There was an apartment fire. News crews got there and it looked really bad. They said at least one firefighter and resident were sent to the hospital.

Oh wow. That's bad. Apartment fires can kill a lot of people. I can't help thinking of Grenfell Tower fire.

It sounds like only two people were injured, tho, thankfully.

Here in LA, a lot of the old multistory apartment buildings were grandfathered in, not required to retrofit with fire sprinklers, and some have only one stairwell. I hope safety standards are better in your area, BRENDA!

Yeah, they can. They got lucky that only two were injured.

My building does have smoke detectors and alarms but I don't think there is a sprinkler system. There are two stairwells. The worry in the building is the people with walkers and scooters.

That was shocking to read and my heart is broken. Another one of my tv crushes gone.
2 years after David Soul and 2 1/2 years after David McCallum.

Farewell firefighter/paramedic Johnny Gage. Be safe.

Oh dear. Elevators can stop working in fires. I would worry about them, too!

Well, I'll look into those!

I dropped off the e-waste yesterday. Dear daughter dragged her *ss out of bed late, so I was already in a bit of a time crunch.

The drop off event was in an area that I've never been, but it was the closest one scheduled for the rest of the year. So I got messed up along the way bc I didn't notice that the longest road on my route actually changed names, and I thought I had missed a turn or something, went back, had to pull over and bring up goggle maps again, and turn back around. Then google maps directed me to a route I DIDN'T want to take. Once again had to pull over and confirm I was heading in the right direction. Tick tick tick...

But we made it in time, and I got to drive thru some really wealthy area in the Hacienda/ La Habra hills section, where the roads are all windy and its semi-rural and you can't see your neighbor for all the trees.

The canyons areas are green and lovely, the hilltops are also lovely in a drier, wilder, grassy sort of way, and it would be great to live there except for FIRE.
Nice to visit. We should go up there to enjoy the park and the scenery. But I'd sure worry about living there.

I think for me you'd have to go to musicians that I loved over the years to feel the same way. I remember not too long back we lost Tom Petty and Chris Cornell within a year of each other. That wasn't great. Just seeing how grey the guys I kind of idolized growing up when they are still around is sad too. Did you see any commercials for the new and supposedly final Jackass movie? My god man. Johnny Noxville is full on grey. Steve O looks like he's had more plastic surgery than Joan Rivers ever did.



Stop getting older. I'm trying real hard.

For not having much planned, you got a lot done SIX!

I spent a fair bit of the day pecking away at the stuff in the junk room/ office. I got 9 medium -sized boxes packed up, a couple of rugs to roll up, and another sweep thru closets and cabinets and desks and all those little hidey- holes where people leave things to be forgotten. Fortunately I scheduled a pickup for the 30th so I ca do a real.giid decluttering.

By then I expect another few boxes to give away, a trash can or two, and some recycling. I have one bucket for metal (steel, pot metal) recycling and another for brass/ bronze 'cause dear daughter is all about recycling!

I hear you about not knowing where stuff is!

Know about the Jackass movies but not sure if I've seen an ad for this last one. Not my thing.
