For Sale Someone is WAY over-priced

[Yeahrightgreer]

The wildfires seem to get worse each year and I doubt it’s going to get much better.

Not that I revel in the fact people are losing their livelyhoods and lives as they know it but I’ve often told people that’s the price you pay for living in year round paradise. California doesn’t have volcanos, tsunamis, hurricanes, huge tornados. Everywhere gets the short end of the stick somewhere, somehow.

Doug and Smokey were in worship again yesterday!! In fact, we had three dogs present!

Going to change the name of the church to St. Bernard's!!

The sparks fly in to attic vents and the homes burn from the inside out leaving the surrounding greenery intact and missing some homes all together.

The trees and brush is just not a problem for the Paradise area or older building codes. It's a problem in the entire state and up and down the west coast in dry areas.

It's going to take a lot of work everywhere to get the trees and brush in a manageable condition to prevent future disasters.

You are so right. two days ago they were doing a live report from the area of Magalia that did not burn (Most of Magalia did survive). It was sickening to see the brush and dried needles everywhere!!! Unless there is some type of a cleanup, this will happen again!!!

Thanks to the rains we had last week, the fire is now officially OUT!!! Praise God!

On the downside is the death toll of over 90 and the missing list still at 250.

Had a man in worship yesterday who, as a firefighter, has been up there since Nov. 8 when it started. He has had two days off, both Sundays, and he's been with us both days. He said during our time of "Joys and Concerns," "I did not sign up to dig through rubble and find human remains. But that's what I've been doing these last three days." There is still some tough work ahead; prayer is greatly appreciated - especially for people like Mike who is working on such a recovery.

Actually, California does get two of those: Volcanoes and Tsunamis. The Sierra Chain of Volcanoes is huge, and the active ones in California include Shasta and Lassen. Lassen last erupted in 1914. It was a small pop but there are rocks scattered around Chico that were not there before that year.

The coastal area between Eureka and Crescent City CA is a place of Tsunami strikes. Driving on Hwy 1 you will see the sirens and warning signs.

Oh yes, they have been very small, but we have had three tornadoes in this area since I moved here in '11. They just don't happen every year as many other places experience.

As of yesterday, Death Toll was 88 confirmed, and 605 are still missing.

So sad.

 

[Snotty]

Revised numbers, the missing as of today are less than 200. That is good news!

 

[Snotty]

Rain is coming down, creating problems with recovery efforts. People worried about mudslides - we can still use prayer.

A piece of good news that was said last night on the news, "We have now had three days without the discovery of a new body." That's great, but there are still those missing people....

Look.Not to bring politics in the C-Body refuge but from personal experience and doing lots of yard work over the last 38 years what I,ve observed is scary.The weather started changing in the 90,s.And it,s just gotten schizophrenic.And the absolute,or almost,disappearance of any flying insects that used to populate my parents and neighbors yards and trees.The monarch butterflies that used populate 1 sumac tree in our yard,you could hear them,the tree would shake.Now you could barely ever see a single monarch.The fuzzy bumble bees,good luck seeind a single one.If humans don,t wake up the planet will take us and dump is in the trash.Because it doesn,t need human beings.If we don,t take care of the planet we,re not worthy of it.B.B

A dead sperm whale that washed ashore in a national park in Indonesia had nearly 6kg (13 lbs) of plastic waste in its stomach, park officials say.

Items found included 115 drinking cups, four plastic bottles, 25 plastic bags and two flip-flops.

Dead sperm whale found in Indonesia had ingested '6kg of plastic'

Wow.You,d be horrified how much plastic is in the ocean.That,s one of the biggest sins humans have let happen.I never let any trash go anywhere but the trash can.Never throw crap out of a car i can patiently wait till i get to a gas station to empty or when i get home.Thanks for the news.Whales are kinda scarce still.Sincerely,B.B

aaaaYep, most thing that pisses me off here in Florida now-a-days is the a-hole Northerner litter bugs, I remember the South whereas littering tickets were commonplace, throw a cigarette butt on the ground an'a you'd get a $50 ticket. Now it's trash everywhere.
The City even takes away the sidewalk trash barrels, 1) because a nutcase pyromaniac wanted to go back to prison so he set 3 or 4 on fire plus burned up a whole row of plastic tourist real estate and free paper honor boxes, 2) Lazy *** retires in apartment buildings that walk to the Bum Magnet to get their scratch tickets chuck their sack of household trash in the bus stop trash barrel so it's overflowing in a days time. I remember being in California up in that Clint Eastwood town in the 70's and seeing trash barrels with a sign on'em that said 'No Household Trash'.
Guess were just like California now... Carmel, that's where Clint lives, (had to Google that)

It,s nice to see that someone gets that at the very least not to litter and pollute.And when i did my oil changes everything got saved in containers until i took it to the county facility.Yeah why is it that people from other states **** all over florid as environment.Every one has a stake in keeping things neat.One of my best friends moved to new port ritchie and she is spotless.Very much into the environment.Congrats for caring.B.B

eeeh They're just city people. Here's a NYC street scene shot from the Blindspot documentary of 2010.

I've talked to many of them, most haven't ever been outside a major city their whole life.
Never seen the woods or ever been in a National Park, just a concrete canyon, Camden, Newark, Philly, Chicago, NYC, Boston, can't stand any of them.

Your in the thick of it if your in Baltimore proper.

 

[brougham brummel]

I,m in the county.My parents old historic house was surrounded literally by a stream and forest behind it.Citys are ok for a few days but it,s to much traffic and i like the ability to travel out to frederick maryland and other areas of trees and farmland now and then.People really need some nature now and then but at least have some trees around.They are good for the soul.Heh.B.B

I never let any trash go anywhere but the trash can.

And that might not solve anything. Cities on the ocean like NYC to name one, put their trash on a barge and dump it in the ocean. Happens all over the globe, and plastic ends up floating around and winding up north of Hawaii, and elsewhere. Burning plastic is the only way to rid it from this planet, it her than the toxic gases released from burning it, and that's it. The plastic, hell, the newspaper buried next to the plastic will remain almost 100% intact forty feet deep at the landfill my garbage company sends it to. Plastic (most of the ones in use at a competitive price) will not biodegrade much, if any over many more live cycles than I will ever have. Awesome, isn't it? Recycling isn't generally cost effective, so it goes in the trash, just like aluminum cans when the price of scrap metal is low. Just because it goes into your recycling container, doesn't mean it will get recycled. But you can feel good about putting it in the correct colored barrel.

Wow.What a conundrum.Trash removal to the moon anybody?Plastics are a bane for sure.At least ordinary metals decay and rust away at some point,heh.Like some old cbodies!Wah.B.B
