The Bar 2015 Edition

[Elliot]

I want to be among the first to swim some laps in Harbin's excellent 60 foot pool as soon as they can get it open.

And I will relay good wishes to Ron. He has received plenty clothing, and he has the option staying in my spare room. His main concern now is his hope of finding his absolutely lovely dog "Zelda" alive.

Good night, Bar peeps.

Morning fuckers...

Elliot, hope things are looking better up there.

[Elliot]

Thank you, yes, the (misnamed) Valley Fire is looking much better. It is no longer spreading significantly, and cool weather is helping firefighters gain control. Large areas are still evacuated, with thousands of homes still listed as threatened, but the danger appears to be low now.

In related news....



Royce Sterling Moore, 26, of Lakeport, CA, was arrested Tuesday as he attempted to enter the evacuated Cobb Mountain area while carrying burglary tools. Moore already had two warrants out for his arrest, and he was also carrying items related to the use of methamphetamine.

Three cheers and a tiger for the Lake County Sheriff's Deputies who spotted this scumbag!

What an asshole ^^

[Captain Goddammit]

Jesus, some people just LOOK like scum bags!

[Elliot]

Lake County News routinely publishes mugshots of recent arrestees. This guy looks handsome and wise compared to many of the others! But looting a disaster area is about as low as a man can go.

[Dr. Pyro]

What surprises me is that they never said what happened to his friend's parrot.

I sort of remember an archaic law about shooting looters in disaster zones..........

It's pining for the fjords.

The sordid tale of my trailer mishap is now posted here: viewtopic.php?f=69&t=76195

[FIGJAM]

"Beautiful plumage!"

"I can't tell, it's covered with feathers!!!"

[The CO]

Ugh.

Did y'all know there are people out there that think sparkle pony is a positive term?

I need a drink.

[tamarakay]

CO! I was sorry to miss hugging your neck. Did you lose a silver cup?

[The CO]

CO! I was sorry to miss hugging your neck. Did you lose a silver cup?

Missed you as well!

I loaned a cup to a village mate that never came back. Silver, paracord on the handle, clear bottom, HWJTAS sticker on it.

[tamarakay]

Nope, solid silver with an elder wrong sticker but he says not his. Something about his being red like the blood he drinks.
I seriously love you guys lol
Excellent, looks like I own a cool new cup.

[Aurelia]

Indeed it is dear CO

We are the ones who were carefully trained to take exquisite care of you if you falter through

xoA.

[^Rhino!]

I'm putting up a special thank-you shout-out to Cleopatra Jones, with whom I had a wonderful lengthy conversation about police militarization and the overuse of authority, both of which we agree have no place in law enforcement. So,

THANK YOU! I enjoyed meeting you, and I hope to run into you again at the burn.

^Rhino!

[Elliot]

Several looters have been caught since I posted the first one. These three rocket surgeons from San Francisco and Brisbane seem to the the latest.

The fire did not grow overnight, so things are looking up. Officials are worried about hot weather this weekend, though.

My camp-mate Ron still has not been able to see his burned-down house. But he refuses to give up hope for his beloved dog -- an aging black Labrador sort'of mix named Zelda.

[lucky420]

Grrrrrrrr ^^^^

Keeping good thoughts for Zelda

[Jackass]

The one on the left looks as though he may have had a tough burn this year, maybe he was trying to recoup his loses from the $1200 stubhub ticket he had to have...

[forty_eight]

(((Zelda)))

[FIGJAM]

They laughed when I said that I had discovered the secret to invisibility!!!

If they could only see me NOW!!!!!!!!!

[Captain Goddammit]

Goddammit FIGJAM you doo doo head

[lucky420]

Air Races Party at Pineys this weekend...

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

A previous established acquaintance of the Lake County Sheriff’s Department, one Jeremiah Patrick McGinnis, 25, of Cobb Mountain, was evacuated with his neighbors as the Valley Fire approached this idyllic and mostly close-knit community.

A few days later, McGinnis returned unannounced, for the purpose of burglarizing his neighbors’ homes.

His first score was a car. He then adorned the car with black and white paint to resemble a police car, so he could travel unchallenged in the evacuated area.

How this ruse failed is not fully understood.

The sad thing is… that McGinnis is currently better housed than many of his neighbors.

Hard to believe!

[Elliot]

They walk among us. Or at least stumble....
That one should be easy to recognize though, by the tattoo.

[Captain Goddammit]

I read the story just to confirm what didn't really need further confirmation: drugs were involved.
That's the only way someone's thought process is THAT fucked up!

Just think, Captain, if he were a meth-head. Dentists dream of all the extra work that has to be done for morons like that.

*saunters thru swinging doors, still a bit bleary-eyed from 11 hours solid sleep*

Well folks, the trailer is back home in Clearlake and all is well.

But one more freaky thing happened in the process:

As we approached Reno on Sunday morning, we were greeted by overhead electronic reader boards saying “Crash 35 miles ahead. I-80 closed.”

In Reno, the signs said 25 miles ahead.

25 miles east of Reno is… Wadsworth.

Today I read that a trucker made a mistake which killed his co-driver and blocked the eastbound lanes for several hours. At mile marker 41.

“My” rest area is at mile marker 42.

Right about the time I returned to the scene of my crime.
