My last 24 hours in LA:
Never mind its still 100 degrees daily in the valley the san fernando valley in late f#$#ing october but i have
to wake up in the morning to a huge pile of ash covering my car.

All the while the smoke in the air is unbreathable. After wiping off the ash i go to start my car and my car wont start. I pop the hood and see that a ton of ash got under my hood and clogged some major parts. OK I fixed that problem and continued on my journey to the grocery store for a gallon of milk.

I walk out of my car and see these losers picketing the grocery store as I walk in I get called a skinny piece of shit. While I begin to laugh, that pisses them off even more and more names get thrown my way. As I approached this middle aged women who i noted to her that she should stay out of the sun becasue her face had more wrinkles than liz taylor prior to surgery 22. A police officer than told her to back off and escorted me into the store.

While in the store the f$%# shelves are 99 percent empty. While buying a pound of hamburger meat for a buck was great, they had no damn milk.

OUr buses and subway are on strike adding to the freeway mess, whats next a major earthquake?


NOW TO LA SPORTS:

The people out here complain that their college football team is number 4 in the bcs not number 3, and ucla fans are calling for the football coah who was just hired at the beginning of the season to be fired. No joke... the guy is coaching a team with no damn talent to an undefeated start in the pac-10 and they hate him as much as steve lavin.

My basketball team feels that performing a soap opera is a good way to start the nba sesaon

Our NFL team is putting on the greatest show on turf once agian in st louis or other former team is too busy applying for AARP memberships

Our Hockey team: HAHAHA WHO CARES!!!

Now you're making me miss Woodland Hills. I lived there for five years & moved back to Milwaukee at the end of 1999.

What part of WH do you live in? I was at the Summit for a while.

Do me a favor. When the fires die down, go over to a happy hour at Sagebrush & relax.

BGOLD, symapthize with you. I spent my first 20 years of life out there in the valley. Lived in Granada Hills, and went to high school at Granada. I miss the valley, but all in all I needed to get out. Live mostly in Chicago and Vegas these days, but still get back to see my folks often. Heard the fire is a mess, and hope all goes well for you. As for sports, the Lakers will get it together soon, we can only hope. My family has had season seats for 20 years, and this is the first year we didn't re-up. Prices are astronomical. It's a shame, but hopefully i can see em play a few times if i get out there anyway. Good luck to you.

I've tried to keep up with this story as much as I can, but what are people picketing the grocery stores for? I hadn't heard about that.

www.ufcw.com and www.ufcw1036.com will pretty much explain it to you. Overall people have been very very supportive. As for someone calling bgold13 skinny or what have you, people walking the line should not harass the customers beyond asking them not to shop and handing them information unless they refuse it. Save the anger for the slime working inside and trust me, they hired alot of REAL losers inside. No drug test, some right out of jail, heard one store actually had someone who served time for rape! If you do shop, use cash as I would not want my CC number memorized. If you hate unions or feel like just because you don't have health care coverage you feel like we shouldn't then I doubt you would support us. But just because we live in a country with the worst national health care coverage in the western world doesn't mean we are gonna bend over and give up ours that we gained over time. As for the fires, it is truly bad and hope it ends soon. Thankfully it will become much cooler as the week goes on so that will help. Imagine everywhere is out of paint masks.

hey man, don't disrespect people out of jail..i'm a graduate student and at the age of 19 i was charged/convicted of a felony.
its tough for people who have made one lousy mistake...while i don't think i was right for being involved w/somebody who stole, it doesn't make me a bad person...life is about learning from mistakes...so keep the bashing of people w/criminal records to a minimum...not all of us are bad!

Sorry if I offended you. True not all are bad and there is a difference between someone who as a young kid who was an accessory to small crime and a convicted rapist. The fact of the matter still is there is alot of theft going on in these stores and no one was drug tested so how do you know if that person working in the meat dept doesn't have Hepatitis or something. Also, if you know someone who is crossing to work, tell them they better be real careful when the Teamsters start to picket and get fully involved. Just a friendly notice...

Glad the rain is coming and hopefully the fires will die out soon. Lake Arrowhead area is unreal, truly scary.

And you wonder why people don't like Unions. If you can't win by talking a situation out, then you just strong arm people?

Viva America!

Using strong arm tatics is not something just unique to unions my friend. Corporations have done it, military (countries), police, your local bookie, etc. I wish they were talking, hell you even would talk with an ex-wife (if I had one). I hope it ends soon but don't expect me to feel sorry for a scab who gets hurt anymore then people feel sorry for innocent Iraqis getting killed and the like. If this offends you then nothing I can do about it. My last comment on this so have a nice day however it makes you feel.

Two good outlooks, JT.

1. If someone else is doing it, then it is okay.
2. If you're not getting your way, beat it out of somebody.

Be sure to pass that along to any children that you have.

Exactly, couldn't agree more.

Couldn't disagree more, and I am a teamster.

Thank you for posting that, penguin. I have actually thought about this a lot today and was very bothered by that statement.
