Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Fire in shingle springs along the freeway at the substation. Power's out from CP past Polluck! I've been on the transit bus here in CP on the closed freeway for the last hour and a half. Moved less than 2 miles since 5:30!

 

Why are you on the bus? Back roads my man! My dad took a while to drive from EDH to greenstone road exit. He took all the back roads and was stuck in stop and go traffic since everyone was on them. Better than the highway though since they closed it. We literally JUST got out power back on but we've been running a little harbor freight generator for a couple lights/fridge/freezer.

 

I take el dorado transit to work (save $$$). Vehicle is up the hill. Since we have stops on the way to drop people off, can't take back roads.

 

Finally in P'ville!

 

Ahh gotcha. How far are you driving down the hill for work?

 

To P'ville then take the bus to downtown Sac. Got home exactly 4 hours after I left work. Just fired up the generator and am BBQing hot dogs. 60 miles in 4 hours.

 

Oh man, I didn't realize you commute that far for work. No way in hell I'd be driving a truck that distance each day either!

Still no power for you guys? Hopefully PGE gets it up fast for you.

 

Sounds like you're too deep in to pull out now.

 

Damn. That's a lotta time and a lotta dough-I don't think you're being unreasonable.

 

If you agree to be a groomsman, then you gotta pay your dues. If not, then pull out. In the end, this might be a major moment for your friends, but it could be a bump in the road for you, or a major moment as well.

You always have a choice, you just need to understand the consequences.

 

Wtf, why are you buying so many gifts? I just gave my friend some cash for his wedding and that was it. For his bachelor party we all just chipped in and made sure every single thing was paid for and he didn't touch his wallet once.

Oh, I wasn't a groomsmen. Just went to his wedding+bachelor party.

 

Any wedding I've been in, wedding gift and that's been it.

Never had the bride follow me for a fitting either

 

Usually, all that shit is decided well before the groomsmen have to show for fittings...

 

....... Meanwhile.... In Carmichael.... It's still 90 degrees out

 

I would say.... Bitch.... Get a Clue... And wear what I want...

 

Jay, my wife had a friend like that once. When throwing this friend a birthday party, the friend started dictating how the party was going to be, what gift my wife was going to get her, etc. Did I mention the part about how she "had a friend" in the past tense? Yeah, that opened her eyes to this woman being a freaking psycho (or just majorly spoiled). Just sayin'.

Cody, power came back on at 9:10.

 

KTVU says PG&E turned the power off while firefighters worked a fire.
