California Blazing

nobody@vox.com(Sheila) — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 10:06:31 -0700

Apparently the ~~Terminator~~, Governor has declared our fire, Gap Fire; number one priority over the rest of the fires in California. (couldn't be because he owns property here?) We've packed what we can so we're ready for evacuation. The power comes and goes here, I found flashlights and a radio that does not require batteries, you just hand crank it! Double Click on the map for information on the different fires in California.

Is California burning

nobody@vox.com(Sheila) — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 07:34:19 -0700

I took the trash out last night and saw the hills were on fire!? The neighbors were all sitting out with lawn chairs and binoculars keeping an eye out and listening for evacuation notice. Long night with little sleep. I'm heading into work (driving today) with family photos and a few precious books just in case. Here's a photo from last night.

K-mart , WTF??!!

Kmart promotes abstinence pants.»

Jessica Valenti points out that retail chain Kmart has begun selling abstinence-gear for juniors:

The description for the products reads, “Whether she is lounging around the house, going to practice, or doing her chores. These soft athletic style crop pants will keep her comfy.” One Feministing commenter adds, “Because nothing says ‘I plan not to have sex until marriage’ like plastering text across your ass.”

Stay Home Sunday

nobody@vox.com(Sheila) — Sun, 04 May 2008 14:11:42 -0700

Not very motivated today to go exploring since gas is now at $4.69! So, instead I decided to stay home and explore my backyard. A peek of what's inside and over the fence. My son decided to join me and play some music.
