What? Did someone light california on fire again?

I think sleepy d should leave there, and then we let LA burn.  God forsaken city that one -_-

[SleepyD]

Fires? Hoo. Righty, those started blossing up when I left, didn't they...?

And to answer your question? 900 000+ people is roughly the amount of people living in all of Stockholm. THAT'S where you put them. Build an american Stockholm clone somewhere and put them there. Now THAT'S cool stuff.

-w-

And yes, I know that it's a bit strange with a capital that small, but hell, all of our nation is just above 9 million - understandable, being that very few can withstand the annual Winter Depression - how would you feel, for example, if all the sunlight you got during a whole day was barely above 3 hours? Bundle that together with the weather being very gloomy during the autumn, the days starting to get short REALLY fast past november, and most of all, the cold, and you have a very effective way of gloomifying the whole nation really fast - so there are vast amounts of land left uncultivated, even untouched. Some parts even more wilderness-like than the central parts of the US. It is a fascinating thing, when you think of it.

[/nationalistic ramble]

haha... I'll pass that on to FEMA.

I don't live that far north, but that does sound depressing.... then again, if I was there for a short trip, I'd be fascinated.  strange, isn't it? XD

16 fires.  Never seen this many.  Caused by, among other things, construction worker welding something, downed power lines, and of course, arson.  

LA isn't really in danger, not as much as San Diego.  And those people with Malibu homes have enough money.
But San Diego has Comic-Con!

...and I'm not sure if you care much about the two fires currently burning through Camp Pendleton. haha....

[CaptBrenden]

Ah well, those arnt a problem.  if anywhere is ready for fires its camp pendleton.  We have huge 30 foot fire breaks constantly maintained across the base sectioning it off and containing any fires.  And we get alot.  Hot brass and tracers cause fires like you wouldnt belive.. Still we are far more prepared then anywhere else.  Hell we do controled burns like that every year to keep the brush down and prevent larger fires.  at any given time at least one portion of camp pendleton is black with ash from an intentional or unintentional burn.  Not much worry there.

However, if they are busy with fires ON base, they wont be able to assist with fires OFF base.

Ah, I see. That's quite understandable.  
And would probably explain why the fires are relatively small on Pendleton. They have evacuated the base of all non-essential personnel, tho.

The big fires are near Miramar Air Station, and I know that the news has been mentioning that choppers and ground crews from there are helping out.


Random:
The name they gave one of the fires on Pendleton, formerly known as the Las Pulgas Fire, is the "Ammo Fire"
....makes it sound like its burning near something dangerous. hah.

[CaptBrenden]

._.

thats cus it is.  near Las Pulgas (vally of the fleas i hear it means) are the large underground ammo storage vaults.

be afraid, be very afraid.

I'm quite fine, thanks for asking. ^^  The big fires are well to the east and south of me, so I'm not directly affected.  (If I was, half of Los Angeles would be burning) My cousins had to evacuate in the early days, but they're fine now, as is their home. The worst I'm getting is a dry throat/mouth and irritated eyes if I stay outside for a few hours or longer. (haha, an Angeleno complaining about air quality...) Although, I think it's better now than before.  It's really bad near San Diego though.  I know a person at UC San Diego, and apparently the campus there is pretty empty.  

As for saimoe2007, Lucky Star/Higurashi FTW!!

Oh yeah...the wildfires! I was in Dubrovnik while there was a huge wildfire a few months. But it was nice seeing seaplanes landing and taking off to fight the fires. It was a very "Porco Rosso" moment as I recall...

[Icelilly]

I heard about the California fires! I hope no one has gotten hurt... ;__;

In other news, across the city of Ottawa, high school students have been prank calling the police about bombs and people with guns causing lock downs and panic. One school has had 9 or 10 lock downs in just one month. So far, it hasn't happened at my school yet but the school just 2 minutes away from us has two this week. I just wish these kids would grow up. -_-'

[NejinOniwa]

HEH

In my elementary school, there were no bomb alarms. Well, once, but I don't think they did anything about it.
BUT
My chemistry teacher was playing around too much, and ended up blowing the roof to pieces.
AND
In my current highschool, the lab room's windows were almost blown-out when we were having fun with hydrogen balloons.

Nope, no bomb warnings there. Just actual explosions. -w-

Here's something random I just noticed.

There are very few ways to describe Homeo without making him look bad.

"He's a young boy who's gender-confused and has affairs with his sister."

See what I mean?

Another thing...

Sasek....*Stops himself mid-sentence*

...I mean...

XP Pro-tan has more doujins and hentai than any of the other os-tans.
(perhaps this is how she earned her "Nickname")

Hey guys! I just wanted to let everybody know that everything here on my end is fine, ever though I haven't been able to post much.
I've just been having trouble with my laptop...in fact, I've had to send it back to the repair facility to get a new screen : \ But in good news they've finally run cable (and subsequently DSL!) to our home! Yippie!
