Where is everyone?

Rob Dawg said...

Been quiet since I’m down in Florida not posting anything interesting. Some kind of mess up not able to log on except via iPhone.

Interesting story:

What a tangled mess with our immigration non policy.

Rob Dawg said...

Hey Cinco. You have the authority to get me unbanned from Reddit. Or preferable you could ban yuan and tuck for worse behavior than what got me banned.

LBD said...

Pretty much proves we have no policy but a welcome sign at the boarder. DACA kids need to confront their parents and have them deported before considering them to stay here. IMO

A 10 year old?

Rob Dawg said...

Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) said Friday that "rumors" on Capitol Hill suggest President Trump could fire special counsel Robert Mueller before Christmas, after Congress leaves Washington for the winter recess.

“The rumor on the Hill when I left yesterday was that the president was going to make a significant speech at the end of next week. And on Dec. 22, when we are out of D.C., he was going to fire Robert Mueller," Speier told California's KQED News.

Yeah because she is kept in the Trump administration loop.

Rob Dawg said...

I like it. One DACA kid gets to stay for every parent that self deports. After all they only entered illegally to give their kids a better life. Here’s their chance.

LBD said...

WWOD?

Lawyerliz said...

We were buying Christmas Presents and now I'm adjusting the n color of my hair.
In a store not the internet. Haven't found a satisfactory microwave. Suggestions. I think will have to go on the net. Made anywhere but China.

Lawyerliz said...

A 10 year old? With no other relatives?

Lawyerliz said...

What would Odin do?

Lawyerliz said...

How about grandparents or uncles?

Rob Dawg said...

Lol!

Rob Dawg said...

Costco?

LBD said...

What Would Obama Do?

They all came from some where and got help coming here, so they have some where to go. No relatives, then ward of the state they came from.

Rob Dawg said...

Never thought I’d be hoping for a dry winter but if we get lots of rain the hills are going to slide bad.

Rob Dawg said...

Obama is at the top of the list but he is not alone on that list. Even Saint Ronald tried and failed. I would even say the half job he did made it far worse. That was 31 years ago.

Lawyerliz said...

I don't think human beans are supposed to live there. Here either, but here we are.

Rob Dawg said...

We may have a fire. We may have an earthquake. You will have hurricanes (humidity, bugs). Cinco will have winter. And look at it this way. A thousand homes but that’s out of 600 thousand total. Winter in New England probably destroys ten times as much effective housing stock lifespan every winter.

LBD said...

Unfortunately Reagan proved it didn't work but liberals still want to try it again. There is a reason T got the support he did.

Cinco-X said...

I'm not sure that that is true, and in any event, I don't know how to do it. That said, the level of conversation they're has dropped to the point I may just give it up. I'll talk with Black Halo.

Cinco-X said...

Wouldn't mind it here.

Cinco-X said...

What's that?

Rob Dawg said...

Forty years of being told by politicians things they knew were not true set the stage for a trump type to tap into the anger at being treated like they were stupid.

Rob Dawg said...

Interesting google image search. “Dinosaur cartoon.” Then you can narrow your search with species. Bronto, t-Rex, triceratops, etc. one of those species choices? Trump.

Lawyerliz said...

Loving kindness.

Lawyerliz said...

Somebody insulted t Rex or Tricerotops?

Lawyerliz said...

Believing things obviously not true is. . . Not smart.

Lawyerliz said...

A stuffed tricerotops is one of the few things that survived hurricane Andrew. My son still has it and will give it to his child when born. It's yellow

Lawyerliz said...

Santa Barbara at risk? Hub sez it's being evacuated...

Rob Dawg said...

Oh yes. A large chunk is under mandatory evacuation. Road closures. My BiL is in a voluntary zone. He’s in NYC. Don’t worry. It has to burn the Polo Grounds and jump the 101 freeway before it gets close to the beach houses.

Rob Dawg said...

267,500 acres

Lawyerliz said...

I'll continue to prefer hurricanes. Mostly we know where they will go.

Rob Dawg said...

The Thomas Fire containment jumped to 40% because it came up to the Cave Fire scar and couldn’t burn twice.

Lawyerliz said...

Oh brother.

Rob Dawg said...

269,000 acres. Red Flag warning. 40% containment.

LBD said...

Touch of winter today 38F back to 57 tomorrow.

I chose the edge of tornado alley.

Rob Dawg said...

Trillions of bugs can’t be wrong? Guy down the street has a turtle sign on the driveway.

Rob Dawg said...

Fire line. Wind 52mph. Gusts to 69. Not good.

sm_landlord said...

Big gusts all the way out here at Echo Beach. Deck furniture is blowing around. The air is clean, though, which is a relief after weeks of smoke. Hopefully there are patrols out to shoot any firebugs that try to start anything else.

Rob Dawg said...

The fallen firefighter procession is sad.

Rob Dawg said...

Crossing my 101 exit exactly at this moment. Central ave.

sm_landlord said...

Talk about bad luck:

http://ktla.com/2017/12/17/ventura-couple-loses-their-home-in-thomas-fire-just-2-months-after-their-santa-rosa-home-burns-in-norcal-blaze/

Twice in two months.

Lawyerliz said...

I'd leave. Observe warning.

Cinco-X said...

What about if your livelihood depended on your believing these untruthes?

Cinco-X said...

5°F when I woke this morning

Cinco-X said...

Is your place safe?

Lawyerliz said...

Someone mentioned an area which hadn't been burned in 100 years. Has that burned now?

Rob Dawg said...

Yes. Several pockets of never known to have burned areas have been blowtorched by the high winds.

Lawyerliz said...


Your fire is back on the national news.

Lawyerliz said...

How come I was not informed of the prior 2 awful kali fires?

Unknown said...

I am reminded of an old joke I heard about a realtor showing a house and while the buyer is there a plane crashes into the living room. The buyer looks to the realtor and says "I'LL TAKE IT!". Stunned at the buyers enthusiasm, the realtor asks why? The buyer says, "what are the odds of this happening twice?"

Rob Dawg said...

Two? Lots more than two.

To be honest most burn away from people. This one is different.

Lawyerliz said...

The worst and second worst, I mean. Seems they were ignored warnings...

Rob Dawg said...

Arrogant stupid hubris by eco warriors that think nature knows best but only when they direct. Jerry Brown will burn in Hell.

Lawyerliz said...

There was a controlled burn here that got out of hand, and the nimbus started coming out, but NASA and their Force had more clout that feeble politicos. The burners really did make a mistake that day, but people do make mistakes. The controlled burns continue.

Lawyerliz said...

Nimbys
