I'm pleased to report that the occupant of the Chevrolet Camaro escaped without injury - which can't be said for his ride, which got darn good soaking.

Today of course, was the first day of television sweeps (the ratings period), and it was amusing to see that this incident (one of a half-dozen sheared hydrants we'll have a day) spawned breathless television coverage across the nation. If you missed it earlier, the locals will probably show it again tonight.

I've got some 'sheared hydrant' information planned for the LAFD Blog in the coming weeks, and remind everyone to drive carefully - lest the hydrant nearest their vehicle become spontaneously magnetic and drag their vehicle from the roadway ;)

Respectfully Yours in Safety and Service,

Rush Limbaugh was no more nominated for a Nobel than was Tony Pierce. Nominations for the Nobel Prize come from the Norwegian parliament with input requested by invitation only requested by Norwegian MPs. It doesn't matter how many letters are written by crackpot right-wing "foundations". It's still not a nomination.

What's particularly notable about Al Gore's recent nomination is that it came simultaneously from the two most extreme members of the Norwegian parliament; one from the left and one from the right.

 

i saw them putting up a mooninite outside of pazzo gelato in silverlake last thursday. haven't been back since so i don't know if it has been taken down, but two guys were installing them and they waved and smiled at me as i walked by and looked curiously at it. they did not appear to be terrorists and i did not feel in danger.
