Gloom ~ Glendora Fire ~ Kirks ~ Leftovers ~ Radar ~ Hot Buttered Rum

Good 31º morning. Haven't seen any sun here at all. Stayed like this all day yesterday, again ......
I did hear they had sun down on the I-5 and also in Grants Pass.


A raging fire in the hills of Glendora Ca ... started at 6am yesterday....
Jen's (daughter-in-law) brother Jimmy took this picture near his house in Alhambra....
Jimmy said the fire is out now, but 5 homes burned. Unintentional arson by three dummies throwing paper into a campfire. In custody. The ignorant newscaster on the Sacramento TV station, Shannon, said there was a fire in the "Anja-leees" Forest. OMG. We had a mayor, Sam Yorty, in Los Angeles who couldn't pronounce the name of the city either! He called it "Los Angle-leees". Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.......... I feel badly for those who lost their homes. Such a needless tragedy.


As for my friends who find something to disagree with me on my blog.... just let me say this... You don't HAVE to agree with me, but it would be QUICKER!



Today is a stupendous noteworthy special monumental 6th Anniversary of pals Joe (LASD ret) and JoAnn Kirk! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY KIDS!

What to do with leftover fish...... first put a rice blend (brown rice, wild rice, sweet brown rice, and red rice in the rice cooker. Add some chopped fresh tomato. On the top steamer tray put the fish. Turn it on. 


I drizzled some sesame dressing around the edges. GOOD!!!! Love that rice blend. Got it at Costco.


This is hilarious. Trish Bowler's son Daryl posted it on FB.

"Moochelle" just exudes charm and class and makes us proud. Not. First "Lady"? Ha! Hardly. Got other words for what she is.... along with that creep she's married to.
 

 

Ok, all I know. Happy TGIF. Nuff said. Ciao.

It will be close to 90 here today- not typical hot buttered rum weather.

The Northridge Earthquake. I remember wondering why the boys weren't screaming for us to get in the hallway- they were in Arizona. Turned on the TV to see where it was- the downed offramp was 4 quick right turns from my best friend's house in Santa Clarita. She wrote Diamond Bar's first disaster plan- what a blessing for her neighborhood to have all that knowledge, organization and drive when they were driven from their homes.

Om my such horrid memories from that quake. It hit deputy Rich Nagler's house hard. Furniture toppled on top of them in their bed. They live in Satna Clarita.

I too thought the Radar pic was hilarious. I couldn't belive that some folks didn't "get it"! Jeeeze!

I think Mooch is having a birthday for the whole month! Spent extra time in Hawaii at tax payers expense! So what else is new with those two?? :(

XO Trisha

Their arrogance (Obummers) and self-love and lack of conscience has cost our country dearly.

As for the picture of Radar... Gary Burghoff was a funny guy on M*A*S*H, but not seen by the younger generation. Even though there are reruns, it's not of interest to young people. They have more interest in Miley Cyrus, Lindsay Lohan, and Justin Beiber. UGH. xo
