Im in Facebook jail for calling a girl who was trolling a hiking group about starting fires a fucking cunt.


I regret nothing.

I'm not surprised.

My twitter account was closed because...wait for it...


When Charlie Watts passed away I re told that VERY FAMOUS STORY of him getting out of bed in the night - having a shower - shaving - putting on a suit - going to Mick jaggers hotel room

and punching him in the face.

I got an email from twitter saying my account was deleted because my tweet "Promoted violence and made twitter an unsafe place"..

  Had to laugh really.

[King Postwhore]

That's why?

You mean teacher saw you and got mad and sent you to be punished by sending you to ISS, and you have to write an apology letter to teacher saying "I will not do this again"...

The Caldor fire has entered the residential area of South lake Tahoe...and is moving at a pace of two blocks per minute. 


This is where it's burning now, that's lake Tahoe in the north, about three miles away, where all the casinos are.

[Stadler]

David Coverdale lives somewhere in there.   (I'm not trying to be funny; it's just a fact that is interesting, perhaps, only to me).

There's roughly over 16k homes in the evacuation area, including four very large casinos and a massive downtown area.

I follow him on twitter and he's been talking about it

[lonestar]

I was wrong, they reported that there's over 30,000 structures currently threatened.

[JayOctavarium]

I'll admit... I think I have slight PTSD from the Thomas Fire down here in 2017, and indirectly from the Tubbs and Glass fires in Santa Rosa in the last few years (family lives up there)... Seeing what's going on in Tahoe (as well as what has happened with the Dixie Fire), really has me on edge.

We've yet to have a big one near me this year... But I know it's coming.

Santa Rosa is in such a precarious place in concern to these fires, as is Placerville. I'm working on accepting this as a part of life in CA, but man, I've got so many good memories of the Tahoe area, and to see it going like this is just brutal.

I fell off a balcony 10 years ago today. Man, time flies.

That's nuts.  So glad your here to type that Brian.

Same! And false alarm... today marks 11 years 

[Kotowboy]

Good to know no harm was done. 

[Chino]

I've had 35-40 nights in the hospital since then due to lingering issues in my legs from the impact, and I had a surgery last year (with complications that landed me back in the hospital) that will hopefully prevent any of those issues from returning. Fingers crossed.

Right before Covid, I had plans to move to Northern CA. Postponed because of it but seeing the fires from last year and this year has really put me off and that is no longer in my future plans 

I fell off a balcony 10 years ago today. Man, time flies.

How high was the balcony? Glad you came out OK.

[Chino]

5th floor, but height wise it might have been closer to 4. The first floor of the building was/is partially below ground level.

[cramx3]

It's incredible that you survived that 

[hefdaddy42]

That was 10 years ago?  Wow!

Was actually 11! I forgot how to do math this morning.

I have always wondered about if someone does get nerve issues after falling from a certain height. I remember jumping off of heights and upon impact feeling it in the nerves in my feet. It would give me that same numb sensation but with a burning feeling when I would land on my feet from high up, it's a reason for my fear of heights.

Now I wonder if this possible "nerve damage" is what really causes the person to succumb to a really high fall, and if it does this by sending a shock to the heart which causes it to become overworked and just flat out stop beating, or if it completely shuts down the organs upon impact including the brain.

Glad you did survive and are still here to have these great discussions with. Falling from a 5 story building and surviving...Now that's metal...

And...Time does fly where you forget it's been longer than you first thought. 

[JayOctavarium]

10 years!

Time sure does fall off a balcony fly!

[Kotowboy]

[jingle.boy]

Man, sure doesn't seem like 11 years ago!

Just came in to say I had a 2 hour nap this afternoon.  Man, I forgot how awesome naps are.

[Hyperplex]

Naps that long usually fuck me up for falling asleep at night unless I am so rest-broken that I'm still dead after waking up.

[Lonk]

Hope everyone in the northeast is ok after the storm. I know there are a couple of people from NJ, NY, CT and MA here.

Here is a video of a NYC subway station

[axeman90210]

Yeah, I very rarely take long daytime naps. Anything more than half an hour and I'm confused for a while when I woke up because the sensation of waking up and it's the same day as it was when I went to sleep is so foreign to me. Feels like a preview of what alzheimer's is going to be like That said, I may try to sneak a half hour snooze in on my lunch break today because I didn't get much sleep last night.

[hefdaddy42]

Yeah, a long daytime nap usually leaves me feeling like shit. 

Cat naps are fine, usually.

The major roads by me flooded last night, but that was about it locally.  North Jersey and South Jersey seem to go the brunt of it.  South with a tornado and north with lots of flooding.  Driving into work today, there wasn't any flooded roads for me but lots of abandoned cars from being flooded last night.

Thanks for that; some parts of CT got between 6 and 7 inches of rain in the span of like 12 hours.  A CT State Trooper was hurt/killed (we're not sure how he is) when his cruiser was swept away by the Pomperaug River while responding to a call.  Sad days.

It's absolutely BEAUTIFUL here now, though.  75, breezy and sunny.  It's hopefully going to be like this through the weekend.

I power nap quite regularly - 20-30 mins while I brew an afternoon coffee does wonders.  Being on vaca at the moment, I felt the need to go with a full 2pm-4pm schnooze.  'twas glorious.  And I was still asleep by 11.

I'm with you with a nap.   20 minutes is usually enough to recharge the batteries for the rest of the day.

[King Postwhore]

I snore myself awake.  i could never get 2 hours in unless I put on my mask for the sleep apnea.

[cramx3]

All the stories and scenes I see from PA/NJ/NY/CT on the news and social media are crazy.  I knew this storm was going to be bad, but really did not know it would be this wild.  I feel pretty fortunate to come away unscathed.
