Oh sh*t! Feel sorry for the victims in the two cars that were crushed. Be interesting to see if its a case of poor quality material used during construction, or an overloaded truck causing the collapse. www.shine.cn/news/nation/1910103474/Wuxi is about 2 hrs outside Shanghai, lots of multi-national companies located there...and they have a decent sized Ikea.

Do you expect the final report to be true? Still under investigation, but initial results indicated an (extremely) overloaded truck carrying 150 tons of steel coil. The elevated road has a 40 tons limit. www.shine.cn/news/nation/1910143639/

I watched The Silence of the Lambs last night for the first time ever and was struck by how much Jodie Foster reminds of Dana Rettke in that movie. Anyone else see it? (I mean, not the height, lol.)

Recently, while going through security at LAX, I was behind a woman who was from some island in the Caribbean and she was taking OTC medicines, band aids, lots of light bulbs and snack bars back with her. She was super annoying so the TSA employee decided to swab every single thing. She had three enormous duffel bags.
I always seem to choose the wrong line.

I assume that as the wildfires have approached the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, the staff there declined any firefighter help. After all, we all remember what Reagan thought about people accepting help from the government.
"The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help." -Ronald Reagan
