Housing Bubble, credit bubble, public planning, land use, zoning and transportation in the exurban environment. Specific criticism of smart growth, neotradtional, forms based, new urbanism and other top down planner schemes to increase urban extent and density. Ventura County, California specific examples.
But it always seemed obvious to me that the accuser wrote "Moore, DA [date, location]" after Moore signed "Roy." It was obviously different ink and handwriting. I don't think this hurts her credibility.
It's getting colder out here at the beach, definitely a wind shift. Hopefully this means that the Santa Anas are done with us for now.
The smoke has been pretty bad here for a couple of days now. People are comparing notes about where to buy N95 masks. HD and CVS are said to be good bets.
Harbor Freight sold out of masjks and generators twice. Particularly amazing since this is the mothership store in Camarillo.
The lumber stores in Ventura are going to be busy. What goes up n the place of the matchstick and ember catchers that used to be up there will be interesting. I remember the Malibu Fire and the mega bunkers that replaced the modest rambling ranch houses.
The new thing in some parts of Malibu is to build low and with the shape of the property elevation. This is happening more because of "viewshed" suits and such, but I wonder if it will help with fire resistance. I lived through a couple of fires there, and I recall that in some cases, the fire would blow right over the house and leave it standing, if the house was nestled into the hillside rather than just plopped in place.
50s here. High humidity. Some rain. No fires, except in fireplaces. Averge life span in 1900 was 47. In 1915, 54 years. Both sexes.now '78, includes women. Russian men 65.
Finally have some connectivity. Third world Florida. So many strange technology gaps. $39.95 per month for a “I’ve falknvand cant get up button.” That’s a smartphone price.
Fun with toys! Just finished a 50/30/20 amp RV post so no more extension cords! One of those projects that is easy but suddenly reminded that I am getting to old for this hard of work. LOL!
Not as much as I would like to. Two weeks last summer and six weeks this fall. Listening to a recording of my mom and dad before they past about their childhood and early adult life. I think of doing a video someday about my childhood. Plenty of time when I slow down, if that's possible. :)
Yeah. Hub's appointment book is fuller than ever.due to medical conditions, I tire more easily. Hub would have me running around every day, nearly all day. Please cant I rest tomorrow? Resting includes cleaning the kitchen first and then op reading. And trying to write. Today, Judge Moore/Jones election.
Economics: overall 4.1 HISPANIC. 4.7 Black 7.3 Very close to close to full employment. I'd say that a drop of ,5 points on all those figures would be very full, nay, overstuffed employment. Anybody disagree??
Still a miss leading number. BLS B-2 is up a tick but still down from a few years ago peak. Wages lagging shows weakness overall but there may be smoke before the fire. IMO
Depends on Job quality to me including hours worked, how many part time jobs per person, wages. Most still lacking. A talking head on Blomie the other day was trying to like poor living wages to hard drug use. If the trend is poor worker performance and low wages, down is the most likely direction. :(

I wonder how long before the US wakes up to the kinds of crooked, twisted, bent, misshapen, devious, dishonest, amoral, immoral politicians California incubates?

In other breaking news the Alabama election is all but over. The principal accuser just admitted to forging the yearbook "evidence."
Yes, PredictIt.com shows a 78% chance Moore wins.
But it always seemed obvious to me that the accuser wrote "Moore, DA [date, location]" after Moore signed "Roy." It was obviously different ink and handwriting. I don't think this hurts her credibility.
A lot of other stuff he did was pretty loathesome too.
That is why accusations at election time is BS. Trials and convictions have a reason.
30+ years as a public figure inoculate against some of these accusations via "why now questions."
For a lot of those years he didnt m think church abd state should be separated.
Wind shift making it hard to breathe. Eyes irritated. Yuck.
Any end to the fires?

Cool idea.
Earth house with an ocean view. Cool idea.
Good Morning!
Very dry here no rain no snow. Mid to high 50's this week, Kali weather!
The LAX “security” uniforms are creepy Teutonic.

They didn't have Mediscare in the 1900, couldn't get those golf injuries fixed. :)
My most common golf injury is a palm slap to the forehead.
DFW where people wear big hats. Next stop Tampa.
Do two shorts make a connection?
I was in Santa Monica a little over a year ago in September. We parked in an underground garage, and the heat was stifling.
Well... It's snowing here...
Cold here. Wearing sweaters.
56, 57°here
56F right now but with a cold wind.
The Russians drink, you know.
Zillow says my house is worth an additional imaginary 1k $. 5k in the lastonth. I think they go eenie meeny minie, MO
Welcome to Tampa.
You brought the cold
Better not bring any fires.
Cinco would object to calling this cold.
What's the temperature there now?
56 now overnight 46. Cinco has snow.
41° brrrrr.
Weather elsewhere?
Good Morning!
61F here today. Great day to finish up outdoor projects. Days are pretty short, that is a bummer.
Finally have some connectivity. Third world Florida. So many strange technology gaps. $39.95 per month for a “I’ve falknvand cant get up button.” That’s a smartphone price.
I've got no trouble on Florida's left coast.
You are on the Space Coast. This is Venice. They see a thumb drive and think fishing lure.
We actually got less snow here than my uncle and cousins in Georgia got... It's almost 6pm, and it's 28°F right now...
There's a launch on Tuesday morning. You can watch it from the front yard, Meet the hub and we could eat lunch. Interested?
And Ms D?
I assume you didn't leave her behind to choke on smoke.
Almost 8:00 and 48F. Crazy!
It's 7:10 PM and the temp outside is 75F. High today was 81.
Unbelievably wonderful weather.... Don't even need the heater on the :deck: because the dew point is down at 20F or something!
Really cold here.
43now. High 62°. Bleh.
Our ac/heater for the second floor failed. We survived. First floor working. Not equivalent to fires!
41F when I woke this AM, 52F and windy today.
Oil tank heaters ($50) are a safe for back up. IMO :)
All fixed.
Snowed in Austin on Friday, back in the 70s on Sunday.
I lied, not fixed up.
A big power surge fried some crucial parts. Needs a new transformer. Guy didn't have one.
Fun with toys! Just finished a 50/30/20 amp RV post so no more extension cords! One of those projects that is easy but suddenly reminded that I am getting to old for this hard of work. LOL!
Do you use your RV?
I started writing an essay, which is a thing I said I'd do when retired. You just have to sit yourself down and do it.

Retirement, busy in slow motion!

An up fire or a down fire?
It's just you and me LLB.
Yoo hoooo, anybody out there???

Just us right now but bowling calls. :)
There job market in the Boston area is doing well... If you're in technology. Jeez I can't wait to retire
Black Halo complained about Yuan. I guess he doesn't realize this is what happens when you ban people to stifle dissent.
Daughter is in Boston doing her architecture thing. Seems to be humming along there
And people around here are starting to complain about traffic; there isn't any, and oh, no, developments. Space program humming along. Private companies and NASA FIGHTING over the choicest launch pads. Mall is sad. .

I went to thin out th ed books and found a bunch I wanted to read. Found 7 out od thousands to get rid of. And we lost all our books in hurricane Andrew,25 years ago. Wasmore successful with old clothes and sheets and towels.
Addicts to books we are.
Remember, if the balloon goes up, you can always read hard copy books by candlelight
Come he global cooling the pages can be used for insulation.
Mrs Dawg tells me the drive through Carpenteria was creepy with the fire visible for miles and miles north of the freeway.
Yeah, stupid useless electrons

Hey, when Garcetti gets in bed with the news media it does it right!
Correction. I meant when an LA mayor gets in bed with the media. It was Antonio Villaraigosa who nogged the news girl.
Right time for Hollywood to do another Inferno movie, no set needed.
Clinton groped my wallet.
Trump plan really turning the screws on high tax States. You know, the blue ones.
Doing some Thesaurus work?
