There was a red glow in the western sky for a while but it faded away and now its dark.

[Erasmus]

I just pray nobody spills any bleach.

...or drops a curlybulb.

Did you leave an o out of the name?
Isn’t the name San Onofre?
Just asking.

Southern California Edison tells CBS 2 that the incident is “an ammonia leak that is being contained.” The leak occurred in a steam system used to drive the station’s turbines, SCE said. The leak is not nuclear.

The last sentence says it all. No big deal here. Not even worth the time of day.

[familyop]

LOL! You almost had me there.

“There was a red glow in the western sky for a while but it faded away and now its dar”

If we see that glow again in the morning; time to panic.

Actually, it is in Camp Pendleton which runs about 17 miles along the coast from Oceanside in San Diego County to San Clemente in Orange County. The power plant sits on the coast near the northern end of Camp Pendleton and within Pendleton’s boundaries.

Not north, BESIDE

So do the Marines. LOTS of battalions have humped past that pair of hooters.

Looks like Dolly Parton is sunning herself on the nude beach.

[LomanBill]

Yep. Nice point break where the sand piles up on the cooling pipes ;-)

[Rio]

Great. And here I am in Anaheim for a couple of days... which way is the wind blowing?

[TruthConquers]

OK.

Driving down the 5 and looking at the ocean, I have not kept track of where EXACTLY the boundaries are.

They like Spanish placenames in California, even when they don't know enough Spanish to use the right forms--for example, Mission Viejo (wrong gender--should be "vieja").

St. Onuphrius--Onofre in Spanish--was an early Christian hermit who seems to have died about 400. There is a church in Rome, not far from Vatican City, dedicated to him--Sant'Onofrio. The Italian poet Torquato Tasso (1544-1595) is buried there, also the Croatian philosopher Francesco Patrizi da Cherso (1529-1597).

> Look how pert and big they are

"Perky". That's the other word that comes to mind. Yes Sir, they are pert and perky. And big.

[ElkGroveDan]

Look how pert and big they are

I guess it's cold there today.

Huge tracts of land, or Two Kilimanjaros?
