Colima was blocked off both ways at Whittier Blvd and at Hacienda Rd. I was out shopping, had to take an "around the barn" route to get home.
No idea how it started, but in that area, which is about one mile south of our home, it was prolly set.

The paper this morning said there were several possible points of ignition and the cause was still undetermined.
Happy Yom Kippur to everyone, Jew and Gentile.

It was immediately adjacent to Colima Rd, so it could have been a mechanical spark or more likely a tossed cigarette. Lucky that the winds were calm and the weather has been mild.

Thankfully there was no wind, otherwise...
btw: If you're LDS, everyone that ain't...is a Gentile.

He played that perfectly, and then was man enough to be honest about it.

He didn't make any friends among the umpires I suppose. They will probably get some payback. It might have been better to just smile and keep his mouth shut.
To me this was no different that the basketball players who flop on the floor to draw a foul, or linemen who grab chest pads. It's part of the game. If everyone was honest, the umpires and refs would be unemployed.

Dodger news:
Peter O'Malley says the team needs new ownership. This is an opinion that I respect. The current owners have been a disaster. I was surprised to hear from O'Malley. I figured he was dead.
Also in the news, Joe Torre will retire at the end of this season. Don Mattingly will take the reins next year. Joe might as well declare his season over right now and let Don get a warm-up lap in.

As the rats leap from the burning ship......
That whole McCourt divorce is killing things. O'Malley is right.
I suppose they're getting Mattingly cheap, but it's not terribly inspiring to see a guy coming in that has zero managing experience at any level.
