Sorry, I thought you were in LA (the Saints thing). Las vegas is probably as bad, but I have not seen their stuff! |
I'm from L.A. Native Californians are rarer than Bigfoot sightings, but you're typing with one. (Native Californian, not sasquatch -- though I
am fairly hairy, so I can see how the kids at the campsite made that mistake. Fortunately the drugs take effect so fast you hardly notice the pain from the dart.)
I'm on the CA/NV/AZ border right now. I get TV from two states (3 when I had cable) and radio from 3. At night I can pick up AM radio stations from San Francisco and L.A. Kinda cool.
When I had cable I watched the news from L.A., but since losing it last year, I've switched to Vegas. (I don't know Phoenix, I don't care about Phoenix, Phoenix can keep their TV. Sorry, Phoenix. To me you're just a pitstop on the way to Orlando.)
In some ways Vegas TV is slightly better than L.A. They don't have so much of an entertainment obsession. I once saw someone explain that away by saying all industry towns focus inordinately on their industry, and L.A. is an industry town with showbiz as their industry.
the ghost of judy garland? |
I can believe she'd be floating around Siegfried and Roy (or vice versa).

I'm surprised the tigers aren't used to her by now, though. Maybe that was just Lorna Luft passed out on the couch.
i KNEW what was gonna happen and i was right. doppler 7 went online and we had 18 months of drought. |
Hehehe. I felt kinda sorry for him. It was like, "I'm sure there will be rain any day now then you'll see..." and he'd start describing what we'd be seeing if it would actually rain. Sad. Mock-worthy, but sad.
'hey it's raining...i bet this would be a good time to drive my skateboard, bike, wagon, compact car, suv, jeep, van, ambulance, ups truck, tractor-trailor, tank across the concrete riverbed.' |
And this week saw several examples of the east coast version: skating on thin ice. *SIGH* I guess someone has to provide fodder for the Darwin Awards. (Or "Sad. Mock-worthy, but sad.")
