I was thinking about that too. Surely some of the prisoners must try to escape in such situations? I would hope so. I would try.

Yes, my sadness at the destruction in California is tempered by it being the richest place on earth and them not bothering to spend on the infrastructure to mitigate and prevent this. It is no longer exceptional there have been out of control wildfires there for the last 20 years or more.

one of the reasons it gets closer to LA every year is the droughts and lack of water up country because it is all being sucked into the city and its water avaricious plantations, almonds, oranges, grapes, advocados etc all need huge amounts of water pulled from the aquifers.

of course not, golf is the sacred sport of America.

It's the same the whole world over
It's the poor what gets the blame
It's the rich what gets the pleasure
Isn't it a blooming shame?
