Man I hate the beach but I could definitely become a lake person.

Would just like to say that this storm in SoCal is the perfect example of incompetence.

Not from the community though.

It has now been 11 (eleven) days without snow plows. San Bernardino County is offering shelter and food at the local high school and other places but the people (including me and my family !) can't even get there because the roads aren't plowed.

The National Guard is supposedly up here but we haven't seen or heard any sign of them.

We've had one grocery store a town over have the entire roof collapse from the weight of the snow.

As a total, my area has gotten over 9 (NINE) feet of snow in just under two weeks.

Gas leaks have begun everywhere because the pipes are shifting from the snow. Two houses that I know of have burned (basically exploded) from gas leaking and the fire department can't get there in time, because the roads haven't been plowed.

The community has turned to help each other though, offering to shovel snow off of decks and roofs to prevent collapse, offering extra food, water, firewood, medicine, pet food. We can't get down the mountain because the roads haven't been plowed and those who are able to find a way down can't get back up.

People need medicine, food, water, heat. We had a diabetic just around the corner who ran a high fever and thankfully made it to the local hospital in time. An emergency CAT plow had to come, but it still took a long time for it to get through the snow. 911 is useless at the moment, they are two to three (2-3) days behind emergency requests. If you're in trouble, you're on your own.

In the meantime, the news is showing lovely helicopter footage of the pretty snow covered mountains (I'm tired of hearing helicopters overhead every 15 min) and San Bernardino County is patting themselves on the back during press conferences saying how good of a job people are doing to help with relief. They have done NOTHING. And the sheriff (who doesn't have jurisdiction over this issue) is trying to deny the hospital helicopter from taking off and landing up in the mountains because there "is too much air travel so it would be dangerous to have this helicopter in the air" but all of the news helicopters doing nothing are perfectly fine. That helicopter has saved lots of lives so far and is the only way down the mountain for those in desperate medical need.

There have been unprecedented avalanches in nearby mountain communities. Forest falls, just below Big Bear, has no water. An avalanche took their water tower out.

The mountain communities need plows. Yes, food and water and shelter are nice in theory, but get us PLOWS. If people can get down the mountain and around town to help others, that would be the best way to get through this.

My family has enough food and heat, thankfully. But we only planned for 2 weeks when we heard of the storm. It's been 11 (ELEVEN) days. The only news we've heard of a plow coming is within 1-2 weeks at minimum. We might run out of dog food, cat food, firewood. And what about other people who didn't stock up or didn't have the money to stock up? What about short time rental users who excepted to be up here for a few days and are stranded without supplies?

Get the mountain communities plows.

On a fateful day, as the Copenhagen citizens prepared to celebrate diversity and accomplishments at the Pride Parade, a young man's anger on the other side of the planet consumed him. Tragically, he targeted Laura Ann, ending her life way too soon and leaving an immense void within the tight-knit local community that held her in high regard.

Laura Ann was an unwavering ally, embodying the true essence of support. Her early death was a result of the disgusting hatred directed towards the LGBTQ community, a cause she championed fearlessly.

Often seen wearing a light brown hat, now gently swaying in the breeze above the calm waters of Lake Arrowhead, Laura Ann's memory shall forever endure. May she be eternally remembered for her courage and resolute determination.

Laura Ann is leaving behind a legacy that will continue to inspire generations to come.

Laura Ann died at the age of 66.

Movement Advancement Project tracks legislation and has counted more than 700 “anti-LGBTQ+” bills introduced across the country this year. The legislation ranges from restrictions on drag performances to bans on gender-affirming health care.

“California being one of the best states in the country when it comes to LGBTQ policies on the books doesn't mean that people living in California aren't affected by the rhetoric that's happening in other states,” Casey said.

Carleton’s family created a memorial fund and plans to to work with Lake Arrowhead LGBTQ+ to “develop and amplify resources that promote LGBTQ+ awareness, equality, and inclusion,” and support other community initiatives she believed in.

Amazing! This report also mentioned that Salt Lake City is having its snowiest winter in a decade. The gifting of Salt Lake City this past August is the reason for the restoration of California’s natural snowfall.

Egy hazafias, keresztény, konzervatív incel frusztráltságát és homofóbiáját teljesen érthetően egy kilencgyerekes anya meggyilkolásával oldotta. Seggarcokat nem csak Magyarországon tenyészt a gyűlölet-propaganda.

She was a mother of nine children.

The Right has descended into madness. Their leaders love the terror and menace.

Mind of a Writer

The American Writers Museum is located in Chicago, Illinois. My Photo. Saturday afternoon. Wondering what to write. Obviously, lots to comment on if I were to verge into current events, but I don’t want to do that. I want to find one good thing to write about—something good for writers, since this will be a post on my writer website. Perhaps something about writing into your pain, both as a way…
