shewolf, I have memories of getting no further than three or four feet inside the front door my house.

Such impatient lovers.

p.s. I'm laughing my head off. I had to edit this post to change inpatient to impatient. Inpatient is an entirely different vision.

Police just lowered the alert from tactical alert to a modified alert.

Power starting to come on in a few places.

Shewolf, that's why I was laughing at myself so hard. I knew you would love that boo boo.

My ex bro in law got tours of in inner workings of Dept of Water and Power at one point, and said it looked scary re responsibility (he is quite an able fellow, as it happens). This was twenty years ago. Anyway, someone combined the wrong wires, or some such - I saw that on a later link. There are systems in place to react to such goofs...

Weird smile-inducer, saw this pic:

And immediately knew what the street sign said. (Can you tell?)

Sure, Lankershim, not that I'm spelling it right, me being from over the hill.

I was in LA so long that...

well, actually, almost before freeways - the Pasadena fwy was early, possibly '43, and I was born in '41, but not paying attention. I remember when Sepulveda and Wilshire was a poinsettia field. I was seven...
way pre the San Diego Freeway, aka 405.

Damn lot of cars in town now, I must say.
