5.0 Quake hits Los Angeles

SoCal is rockin' and a rollin'. We just had a 5.0 quake, but I didn't feel it. The center was closer to the city of L.A. I am in the county. I have noticed two strange things, though. First, the air conditioning went "off-line" in our building this afternoon and it is still not on yet. (Today, the high was 91.) The second strange thing... for the past two nights there have been no serenades from the coyotes...

American Apparel's "Legalize LA" campaign endeavors to draw attention to the issue of immigration reform. I would like to know how this campaign was conceived and how has it been received by the public and by policy makers.

LA Fires, Nov. 15, 2008

I can't believe that the fires are this close. This is a view from the east side of the county of Los Angeles where it has been slightly hazy all day due to the fires.
