    It isn’t like you make a wrong turn and wind up in Bakersfield. It is mostly a self-inflicted happening.

    Last year my alternator went out on I-5 and I got towed to Bakersfield and had to stay overnight. Most time I've ever spent there, and I hope that record stands.

    The thing is that when the big one [earthquake] happens there will be ocean all the way to Bakersfield. To quote Jonathon Winters, "Why stop there?" :D

    That is such a good line I had to look it up. Jonathan Winters on the Carson show with fellow guest Robin Williams. The lead in to the line starts at 25:10

    "The Wall is going to be big, beautiful, a magnificent wall. In the old days, the Mexican's used to wear Puerto Rican fence climbers so they could get over the wall. Well. I go news for them, they won't be able to get over this wall, no matter what kind of shoes they are wearing. It's going to be beautiful! Just the other day, one of the guards said to me, he said, "Sir, there's not a messican alive who can get over this wall, no matter what."

    Remember last week when someone erected a replica wall in one of the premier climbing spots east of the Mississippi?

    Climbers easily climb Trump border wall replica

    @Kazuma - A guide climbed it whilst juggling and wearing approach shoes. Video proof

    There is also a video of an 8-year-old climbing it kicking around

    Cantaloupe calves and hiking shoes are a diabolical combination.

    The never ending story. Does 9 people, (4 dead) constitute a "mass" these days?

    BREAKING NEWS: Four people are killed and five are injured in early morning shooting outside a Brooklyn nightclub

    Four men are dead and five people are injured after a shooting outside an after-hours nightclub in Brooklyn, New York on Saturday

    4 or more people constitute mass shootings.
    So far this year there have been 409 mass shootings. More than one MS per day.

    "Shrug" Americans will be Americans. In a country where there are more guns than people.

    The movie. "Bowling for Columbine" is on MSNBC tomorrow (Sat) 9pm est. hosted by Ari Melber.

    High school. California. People shot and being sent to the hospital

    https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/clarissajanlim/santa-clarita-saugus-high-school-shooting

    The shooter, described as an Asian male, is still at large.


    Los Angeles Undersheriff Tim Murakami tweeted that several people are injured. Sheriff Alex Villanueva told ABC7 he believes the suspect and victims are all students.

    The Santa Clarita Valley sheriff's station said victims have been moved to a hospital, and that the Central Park on Bouquet Canyon Road has been set up as a reunification point for parents.​
