Well, my son is betting that if they really do end up closing CCC that he'll be able to transfer over to the High Desert facility. They put an offer on a cute newly renovated 1200sf house in Susanville for get this 185,000 and they accepted it. So the wife and I are nervously excited for them. I just hope they get that Dixie fire under control quickly.

The Olympics coverage is so subpar. It's frustrating. First time ever I am not watching at all That's crazy. It's hard to watch something that brings you such joy that is run by shitty people. I am looking at you, USPOC, USA Swimming, USA Gymnastics, USA Fencing, and USA Judo. I guess these are the ones we know about. And don't get me started re the ROC. WADA and the IOC have no balls. |

Yes, that is quite a list and the more I learn about USA Gymnastics the madder I get. I watched a very good movie on Netfliix called Icarus. WADA is a joke as is the IOC. |

I just hope they get that Dixie fire under control quickly. This sucks: Gusty winds drove the nation's largest wildfire toward a Northern California county seat as firefighters struggled to contain the month-old blaze amid forecasts of more dangerous weather. Afternoon winds gusting to 30 mph (48 kph) on Monday pushed the Dixie Fire within a few miles of Susanville and prompted evacuation orders for Janesville, a small nearby mountain community, fire officials said. Susanville, with about 18,000 people, is the county seat of Lassen County and the largest city that the blaze has approached. The former Sierra Nevada logging and mining town has two state prisons, a nearby federal lockup and a casino. Ash fell from the advancing fire and a Police Department statement urged residents "to be alert and be ready to evacuate" if the fire threatens the city, although no formal evacuation warning had been issued. Bulldozers had cut fire lines in the path of the northward-trending blaze but "a lot of our lines are getting tested now," fire spokesman David Janssen said. The National Weather Service issued a fire weather watch through Thursday in the area because of afternoon winds that could gust to 35 mph (56 kph) at times, propelling flames. The weather forecast prompted Pacific Gas & Electric to warn that it might cut off power to 48,000 customers in portions of 18 counties from Tuesday evening through Wednesday afternoon to prevent winds from knocking down or hurling debris into power lines and sparking new wildfires. Most of those customers are in Butte and Shasta counties, which have seen a number of deadly and devastating wildfires in recent years, including the Dixie Fire. Investigations are continuing, but Pacific Gas & Electric has notified utility regulators that the Dixie and Fly fires may have been caused by trees falling into its power lines. The Dixie Fire began near the town of Paradise, which was devastated by a 2018 wildfire ignited by PG&E equipment during strong winds. Eighty-five people died. The Dixie Fire has scorched more than 900 square miles (2,331 square kilometers) in the northern Sierra Nevada and southern Cascades since it ignited on July 13 and eventually merged with a smaller blaze called the Fly Fire. It's less than a third contained by fire lines. |

Hopefully they can get a handle on this fire before it reaches them. They got a letter from the sheriffs office to be ready in case they do have to evacuate. Pretty scary stuff. |

Yes, I asked about that yesterday, escrow doesn't close until toward the end of Sept. Their lease is up the first of October so they tried to get it as close as possible to that. |

My wife read in a Facebook group that the Santa Clara County Schools now feature two kinds of restrooms:
All-gender
Boys
Interestingly, most of the moms defend the county's decision. I am sure it's going to end well.
The reluctance of the SCC to welcome "wannabe boys" into the boys restroom is also very illustrative, and I am sure Marbles, randompro42 and other progressive minds have a very good progressive explanation to it.

My youngest boy and others being sworn into the U.S. Army at a minor league baseball game in Augusta, Ga last night. Proud papa here. They got treated like royalty, made the local paper, etc. Funny, they were the only people (including the active duty military folks there) in the whole stadium who were wearing masks. My boy said some Army doctor said they had to for the swearing in and none of the other folks wanted to argue. They took them off immediately after the oath. Weird.  |
