@phoneboy It isn't. It's bizarre seeing National Guard troops in Montecito.
@indigo A storm moved in last night and dumped a lot of rain on the areas that burned in the fire, resulting in landslides and mud flows. It's a disaster out there right now.
Current status in Montecito:
That river of mud is US 101. Also, multiple structures on fire following a gas line break, multiple rescues underway, and five people confirmed killed.
Welcome to another day on the American Riviera…
Went down to Los Angeles today, and happened upon the Goodyear blimp hovering over the Golden Globe awards. The spire on the left is the LDS Los Angeles Temple.
@hazardwarning This is my latest, which I just got from my wife as a birthday present. A Bulova UHF Military chronometer. I'm normally an automatic guy, but the smooth sweeping second hand on these is marvelous in chrono mode.

@matigo No, it's clearly a problem on PayPal's end. I'll try again tomorrow, and if all else fails will try sending directly to Jason at Matigo dot see eh in PayPal instead of upgrading from the admin page.
After clearing export in Moscow and disappearing for three weeks, my package has suddenly arrived at U.S. Customs in New York. I suspect the Russians put it on a rusty fishing boat that detoured through Greenland via the Falklands.
@matigo Just noticed that my subscription lapsed. Tried to throw some money at you via PayPal, but PayPal is being a little bitch right now and keeps throwing an error at me. Is there another channel I can use, or shall I just wait until PayPal decides to work again?
