Opened his own joint in LA. Here he’s hanging with Reagan, Sinatra, and ….Harpo.

LA worst case estimated at 3x today’s AQI then

More great LA Times reporting by @nohaggerty.bsky.social. “Some ecologists question whether breaks even help in ember-driven fires” because firebreaks have been breached repeatedly in previous high wind fires.

At 12:30pm firefighters just pissing in the wind as embers spotted 2-3 miles ahead.

@nohaggerty.bsky.social's LA Times article about wildfire evacuation challenges reminded me how indispensable my e-bike was in the Palisades fire.

Last footage from a friend’s camera. Ground level embers (chunks of 2x) eddied into the driveway, either directly igniting the wood garage door or allowing ember intrusion. Many such cases.

Hadn’t been back since the day of the fire. This view from inspiration point at 2:35.

This another bad response – likely costing millions after overtime and legal fees.

There’s something about industrial sash in a forest. This a favorite California early modern (1921) by Maybeck in the Sierras.

As someone with a building on Sunset that’s walking distance to the stadium, I kinda hope the Jays win as well.

Velux offers this for skylights/blinds in the US - includes CO2. All phone app controlled. Works great.
