Infreakincredible! Watch the guy at 1:13 lock the hubs on his truck just in time to drive away. He should have ditched the umbrella, but luckily he made it in time.

I wondered where all those people were while their cars were washing away. I couldn't tell if that was an apartment building or a business parking lot.

West of me about six miles, but a very close friend's mother lives a block behind El Camino. We had Christmas dinner there with the entire family. "Mom" is 81 years old, and was in "lock-down" by herself (and her three attack-trained, vicious, miniature poodles).

One of her daughters had just dropped her off at her home and was driving away when she was stopped and her car thoroughly searched for the perp.

Looks like they didn't catch the guy.

I just got back from Gardena (110 & Rosecrans). Trucking two pallets (2100 pounds) of free dog food back to the valley for distribution. Truck is still at the valley pick-up location, so I'm driving the old '96 Odyssey. It's Pedigree puppy food, so I'm not thrilled at the quality of ingredients, but there's an old saying about gift horses.......

Had lunch at the Normandie Casino. Never been in there before. Not bad!

Well, apparently the woman in that video has "lawyered up":

Stupid as it may be, she probably has a case. Whoever released that security footage is probably already looking for a new job.

She claims to be humiliated, yet had she not filed suit how many people would have even heard of her or known her name? If I was so humiliated the last thing I'd do is make a big stink so everyone could see my name.

Took one of those earlier, made the rest of the day more pleasant.

Also - think I've found a new job. It's tentative for the time being, but should be cool. (I'm pretty happy any time someone's paying me to build neat shi^).

How's everyone doing this evening?

Nice...dock dogs alone would be worth the trip but throw in a hog butchering clinic, elk calling contest and a rifle raffle (<---say that real fast 10 times) and you've got a must see.

You just going up for the day?
