Ho hum.

Hope you and your wife have your GO bags packed(and don't forget one for the cats).

I had some friends loose everything in last years fires because they waited until the last minute to pack up and get out.

You can always unpack a go bag, you just can't pack one in a hurry.

If you want to keep tabs on the wind use these folks. I have been using them for ages all around the world and they are consistently accurate.

I guess the website is just to complex....

Now every search engine has basically de-listed OneDemand.org. Good luck ever getting back into the top three pages in searches...

Biden was right when he said no miracle is coming.

He sure was, Don, and how might that equally apply to your spew?

After decades of leading us to where we are now Joe Biden is clearly not going to change his stripes and is making the same empty promises that the Deathocrats have been making for decades.

Your spew is rather same stripey too; how might this equally apply to you?

Joe Biden is not a miracle, he is more of a more-of-the-same-acle.

That sounds a lot like you and your repetitive spew.

While some speakers may be correct that Trump is a virus that has infected our democracy the reality is that the Deathocrats are just a different strain of the same virus- big money infecting our political process.

Said the virus infecting this blog.

It will take an offshore wind to put out this fire. And that offshore wind is One Demand.

Take your personal advertisement and go piss in the offshore wind; see what hits you in the face.

Wake up. Wise up. Rise up.
Get Real.

Yes. You are a troll. Deal with it.

As for your language, you are pushing me very very close to banning the first person ever from my site. You have been warned, and this is your final warning.

If ignoring you doesn't work, then banning you just might. Address the issues in the articles or the comments to those articles, and quit with your own monomania, because nobody's listening. Instead, you are just trolling.

And we're ALL way beyond getting tired of it.

Is that clear enough?

Ten big bucks goes to the Grassy Knollsters, from us, if anyone can identify my contribution to that gig...

Give us a hint.

You'll never guess...

Does it have anything to do with fire? :)

Lighten up. Life is too short. :)

Enough said. Yup, the tone went sharply down in the second half.

JLD got off a few singers tho.

JLD was the funniest thing I think I've ever seen in an official political setting. Ever. "Mika Poonce"? Seriously, that's world-class funny... However, she was obviously told to "tone it down for the second hour," so anyone who missed her first-hour performances should really look them up on YouTube, because they were freakin' hilarious.

It should be obvious that anyone associated with the Donald is a grifter. Somehow, the money keeps flowing in their direction. What did the marks not understand about Mexico paying for the wall?

He’d say he was born here. But he left when he was like 8, 9 or 10. So he left 68 years ago, he left. Long time ago. So I view it differently. He wasn’t born here.

Old dog. New tricks? Apparently not. Somebody should tell him that his death cult zombies have already had some Flavor Aid, but maybe his family is exhausted and ready to flee to Russia. Gas-lighting that stupid should be called immolation-lighting.

Biden knocked it out of the park...

It was the speech he's lived his whole life to give, and I said the same thing to my crew who echoed the sentiment. I wonder how many people said the exact same thing? It literally has to be millions across the country who did.

Can't wait to hear what EM thought. I'm betting she cried; the only question is will she admit to it? ;)

History says, don't hope
On this side of the grave,
But then, once in a lifetime
The longed-for tidal wave
Of justice can rise up
And hope and history rhyme.

Senator Edward Kennedy didn't live to see his life's work signed into law by Barack Obama because he passed away on August 25, 2009, from a brain tumor... glioblastoma... the same type that would take one of his closest personal friends, Senator John McCain who saved the ACA with the swift downturn of his right thumb before he passed away exactly nine years later to the day of Kennedy on August 25, 2018.

"John McCain will cast a long shadow," Joe Biden said. "His impact on America hasn't ended. Not even close." It was that same cancer that also took Joe Biden’s son, Beau, in 2015.

If you pay careful attention, you will notice the uncanny way that history sometimes rhymes. If I noticed patterns in things, I would wager that Joe Biden will be entering the 2020 race for the presidency with a story to tell and a fight against Trump uniquely his own. As CW rightly points out, Trump has chosen poorly. :)

No real new fire news yet. Drove the car, with ashes all over it (wipers worked great, thankfully). Smoke still fills the sky. Smells like a campfire to stick your nose outside.

What are you doing outside!? Go home! ;)

Hopefully, the winds will shift to some offshore breezes sometime soon.

Maybe some nice tropical storm action. Stay yourselves safe! Please. :)

Hopefully, the winds will shift to some offshore breezes sometime soon. That could blow a large part of the fire's frontline back on itself. This is how the Oakland fire I lived through (in the 1990s) was extinguished -- a shift in winds saved a major part of the city.

Here's hoping, at any rate...

My reaction exactly. The very words I spoke to my wife, about two-thirds of the way through the speech.

Joe Biden loves ice cream.

...the woke description for 'Gotterdamerung'.

Yeah, you sure have an apocalyptic background to inspire you. I'm walking my Husky watching the moon rise over Green Valley Lake.

It was an intern named Kyle's grandmother, if I recall correctly. Kyle told his grandmother that Joe Biden was walking by him, and she said put him on the phone. Biden's staff were like "no," but Biden was "all in." He talked with Kyle's grandmother for a long time and told him it was nice talking with his grandmother who said at the end of the telephone call that Biden had asked her for a favor, which was to tell Joe how he could get her grandson's hair. All these years later his grandmother said she still vividly remembers the phone call. Her grandson Kyle said Joe cares about everybody's story and that he then talked to Dana Bash without missing a beat.

Something close to that, if I remember correctly. :)

You make him sound like some kind of modern-day Benedict Arnold... a Benedict Donald. Who knew? ;)

So, on CNN tonight Wolf Blitzer is talking about running into Senator Biden, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee along with the ranking member, Chuck Hagel in Doha on the eve of the invasion of Iraq in 2003 with a couple hundred thousand troops on the ready and Wolf is wondering out loud about whether Biden will talk tonight about foreign policy and national security and the troops because, he said, those things have been a big part of his life.

And, then, without missing as much as a beat, Jake Tapper chimed in with stone face to say, "I don't think Biden will bring up the Iraq war. "

HA! HA! HA!

Sigh, whew, I'll probably be laughing about that on the bus to work tomorrow. Heh.

I think it is you, to be sure but, you are certainly not alone.

I found her speech to be extremely uplifting while Obama's was far less so. Probably because there was too much focus in Obama's speech on Trump. Talking about Trump, even it is to skewer him for real, is the opposite of uplifting. It just is.
