You go sleep in a tent in the woods, I'll fill your spot on OT. ;)

Difficult fire. Heat and humidity caused a "negative stack effect". Smoke went down instead of up. Zero visibility conditions on 1st and 2nd floor into lobby. Companies had a hard time hooking up and making it to the apartment. Several maydays transmitted. Quite a few ran out of air and...

The quiet Beverly Road.

Maybe she's trying to spite JD Vance. ;)

That article is just more cheerleading for CP by WABC. No mention of the various Vision Zero inititives that are choking traffic all over the place. Bus lanes, lanes removed, giant median pedestrian plazas, high curbs, etc. That alone is the reason times are up. Traffic has been purposely...

Capt. Shields L 42 might be the league leader in medals among active members. He has been awarded several over the years.

Tragic. The video of this attack has touched a nerve with many people in Germany, for a very different reason. It shows the officer immediately subduing the victim of the initial knife attack, an actual German. The Afghan killer stabs the officer from behind while he is pinning the victim...
