Wow! I used to have one from Orange County before I escaped to Tennessee. I wonder if I can get it back. Although if I can help it, I'll probably never go back there anyway, and if I did, I'd probably fly. Also, I don't trust the airline baggage folks to not "lose" my firearm (if you know...

Just curious, for anyone that went, did any of the bird watchers show up to help, or was it all hunters, like usual? It was advertised on the Facebook SJWA - Birders page.

I'm sure since all those fancy Adidas shoes and all those Apple computers, iPads, and iPhones were "liberated" the deported illegals will now be allowed to return and ICE will withdraw from the state...right?

Saw this article a few days ago. It looks like progress, but I had some questions, so I'll post them here in case someone has some knowledge about this... I'm thinking it should attract more birds to the Wister area (I hope). Couple of items to consider though... #1 - (from the article) "A...

If the CA government was really serious about saving water, they would have continuously built water storage reservoirs over the last 26 years. Why do I say 26 years? Because the last reservoir built in CA was Diamond Valley in 1999. Diamond Valley cost $1.9 Billion to build. It can hold 260...

By what I saw, if you went by the yard signs, Harris came in third behind Trump and "yard sale".

You're a Dodger's Fan? What gang are you in? ;)

Thanks for asking. We are good. No damage and only lost power for a few hours but we were within about 10 miles of some of the worst of it. We were very lucky.

Well, I don't hunt with back powder (yet), but I always thought the idea of a muzzle-loading season was to let people experience hunting with period-correct (flintlock or percussion cap) antique or replica antique firearms. Some of these newer muzzleloaders aren't a lot different from modern...

It is remotely possible that the boat actually ran aground on Cortes Bank. It comes up very close to the surface. "...The shallowest peak, the Bishop Rock, rises to between 3 and 6 feet (0.9 and 1.8 m) from the surface, depending on the tides." ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cortes_Bank )

Several videos of it online, here's one... Great job by the other sport boats in the area getting everyone rescued with no injuries.
