WTF Stories of the Week

I was in Stater Bros. the other day. I lady in an EVC had stopped at a refrigerated cabnit with a glass door. I was at the end of the isle. I heard a strange noise like someone knocked over a bunch of canned items. This was followed by the sound of glass crashing to the ground. So I turned around to see that she had opened the door, with in in her direct path and proceded to drive through it. The employees nearby rushed over and asked if she was ok, but she just sat there stunned.

Afterwards, I said "Crap, I should have taken a picture with my phone and put it on Facebook!"

Obviously the correct response to almost any situation these days.

Not EVERY situation. Trust me on this: mine keep getting taken down because they are "pornography" (and Susan wasn't happy with me posting them anyways)

I know, right? But I'm not use to doing that so I think of it only afterwards....

California has reached the breaking point, says Tim Draper. The Silicon Valley venture capitalist is pushing a proposal to crack the nation's most populous state into smaller pieces — six of them.

Dear USA Today, you keep using that word "advances" I do not think it means what you think it does.

Ignoring issues of national politics, I'd actually support splitting up the state (though probably not into six pieces).

It would help with my thinking on how to rationalize water policy, probably dry out southern California and central valley (or at least lead to something closer to market rates for the water they import) and generally depopulate much of the state.

I'm from Lassen County. Lassen and Modoc county have been trying to secede back to Nevada on and off for years and years. We really have much more in common with the rural Nevada counties. We started out as a part of Nevada but ended up in California after the sagebrush war.

It's our water dammit! William Mulholland stole it fair and square!

I've often thought that splitting it in two might be a possibility, maybe even three. But 6 is way too ambitious to ever get off the ground.
