Um, actually, the picture as is remarkably and frighteningly telling (at least on my monitor). No need for modification in my opinion.

Now THAT analogy I can understand :)

Unfortunately, I've read that most hotels/motels are charging triple rates right now. :rolleyes:

Oh Ponine, you must still be in a very precarious place! I know here we are all breathing easier {well, figuratively speaking}. I hope that all stays well and that you can go home at the end of the day and unpack.

Lodging. Well, I think going up to Disneyland would be great! I would go but I do have to go to work today. Target isn't open here but they've had shipments for two days and they need employees to come in and unload. Ha, let's just see what I can do.

Oh, I digressed. Around the Garden Grove Target are tons of hotels, we usually stay right across the street from it. :D

And, down here they offered up the Hyatt {I think the one by Seaport Village} to evacuees for $139. But, that isn't such a great rate. Sure it is a grand hotel but it is just a hotel and it is off season. Parking sucks, too. And, also, I think that some conventions cancelled and so their availablity opened up a lot.

Not to knock them but I would hope that if people came in with some proof they were in real evacuation areas that they charged them less than that.

*sigh* Yeah, I'd love to take the Boy up to Disneyland.... But, I am just grateful to be here and not worried about evacuations anymore.

Take care those of you who are. {{{hugs}}}

Well, El Toro High was offered up as an evac center to some of the folks in northern SD (you know, before Pendleton went up), so my guess is anyone who went there is pretty much stuck up here and making the most of it.

Glad it worked. On my camera it was very orange, and in IRL. But it didnt show on the work pc.

And yes, the cake shavings worked for me too, but choc shavings fall faster than this stuff.

FYI...the 5 is open both directions now.

was... they closed it again. Southbound open, Northbound closed at Harbor

If anyone's noticing new smoke in the San Onofre area, don't be alarmed. They've started setting back fires to protect the transmission lines from the nuclear tits.

Is Chris stoking up a big fattie?

I never thought something posted in one of the fire threads would be worthy of adding to the quotes.
