I do love the way you describe yourself, even if your punctuation leaves a lot to be desired! -

Central Festival food court
The bread is necessary to soak up the copious amount of beer you imbibe. Lots of different good local meals out there. The quality depends on who is preparing them. If you were able to cook you would need to eat other people's slop. But you likely cannot cook. Sandwiches and burger and chips says it all. That's decent food to you. -

Photos of destruction as a result of the incompetent world leader & his party
Again, to all those who throw their hands up in surrender and wail that human agency is useless in the face of nature here's ordinary citizen John Carr, armed with nothing more than his common sense, the belief that he could have an impact, and guts, who saved his home and others whilst the rest of his childhood neighborhood turned to ashes. Pacific Palisades resident John Carr, 65, defied evacuation orders to save his family home from the devastating wildfire that ravaged his neighborhood. Armed with a garden hose and determination, Carr worked tirelessly to protect the house his parents built in 1960, saying it was worth fighting for. Though exhausted and injured, Carr successfully saved his property and even prevented the destruction of neighboring homes. He criticized the Los Angeles Fire Department’s response, believing more proactive efforts could have saved additional houses. To his neighbors, Carr is a hero for his bravery and selflessness. To quote Mr. Carr: "When I was out here hosing the house down and getting ready, and when the houses started to burn, I-didn't-see-one-single-fire-truck-out-here-at-all. Zero. "If they had had some fire trucks just to put a squirt here, a squirt there, and kept an eye on things all these houses would be here right now. I'm telling you right now I saw it with my own eyeballs. All these houses. These houses behind me are all gone. They started with one little spark, one little small fire. If they just squirted those out, had a few people out there, they'd all be here now." Instead, the call was to evacuate and, don't worry folks, the fire department has got it in hand and will be here shortly. Most every resident living in a fire zone should have fire fighting training. At minimum, knowledge about wildfires and steps that can be taken when they happen. That's a common sense idea, no? Could of had a neighborhood full of John Carrs and saved their homes. And, most importantly, halted the further spread of the fires due to the embers coming from their burning home wafting through the air to set the next neighborhood on fire. -
