Wonder how long he was on his own like that before anyone noticed. Overnight? Poor guy. Hope he recovers well with no harm done.
RHS - I was going to write a reply to the defunding comment, but you said it all. Well done.
Poor baby :(
Poor thing. I am sure it was distraught.
Anyone else wondering why the schools can't just split the day, half the kids go in the morning, the other half in the afternoon.... to accommodate less people in the room? And maybe do outdoor sports etc the other half? This whacky plan now proposed is the BEST they can come up with? Teachers I have spoken with are saying the idea of "distance learning" kids online is an utter failure, they are finding less than half tune in when they are supposed to. As a society we cannot afford to have the kids out of school.
"The theme of this year’s Fiesta is '¡Vamos a Bailar!' " A better theme might be '¡Vamos a Quedarnos en Casa!' — "let's stay home!" Viva la!
If someone buys an apartment building or other rental property, it will be priced as if the landlord will be able to extract market-based rent from it. The new owners will have to rent out the units at that rent in order to not suffer cash-flow problems, as they are often highly leveraged.
Often, people have sweet deals with landlords who have owned properties for decades and can rent them out to longtime tenants at below market rate prices while still covering their costs and making a profit. Frequently when such properties get sold the new landlord has to raise rents to cover their now much higher costs, which of course puts serious hurt on those longtime tenants.
Robert, I know this is not really applicable in your case since your new LL sounds like he or she is just a jerk. I hope you land on your feet.
This guy is 19?! Looks like he's in his 30's.
Get Well soon Mr. Horsey...
Rex -- Juárez–El Paso, For work. Never been back. Thanks for thinking of me!
Lots of Spanish names there, at last.
Looks like the days of the John Dillinger's, "Babyface" Nelsons, "Pretty Boy" Floyd's, "Machine Gun" Kellys, Bonnie and Clyde's are back. Back then it was because of the depression. Now it's because of COVID-19. Many people lost their jobs, getting close to getting evicted by property management or landlords, close to foreclosure in losing their homes from their banks. Sad. Very sad.
How would that work in this case where a landlord is taking over a building where people already are living?
Your cheery comment is absurd. What was done to them is awful. Things could be more just if people would realize that there could be better regulation. And fight for it.
8,000 inmates who are within one year of their release date. While excluding those inmates currently serving time on ‘violent’ offenses and domestic violence, it remains very likely that many deemed eligible for early release will be career criminals and individuals with prior convictions for violent offenses, thus releasing violent offenders. Be Vigilant !
So glad everyone here knows everything about everything. Me too. Seems we can still weave a divisive political hate message into whatever we say as well. What a year of some of us telling the rest of us how to vote, when we just need to get people to wear masks correctly and not while driving. Much more annoying than COVID and is "viral" these days. The President /Fauchi et al are quoting science as it is being learned. We DO know keeping kids trapped or inactive is not even smart or healthful, nor is it good for a society of working parents. We just need to rethink and connect outdoor life, play, and learning. Now they could have more Physical Ed.(which was severely cut) with creative ways to teach math, and science through outdoor learning modes,well defined in other countries and documented to be more effective. Yes, more hand washing and a hybrid of learning methods are needed. --UV based air conditioning filters are already here. Those desks do not guarantee learning either if you can recall--learning groups in a spaced sitting circle are more effective. How much input does a kid really need --all those hours and subjects? Are they really learning now?
It is Science that tells us to keep "kids with kids" to the greatest extent possible, and with proper and realistic levels of protection. Each school knows what it can and cannot do, and creativity is more effective than political judgments at this time about who is right/wrong. That is science --a quest for real facts and knowledge amidst falsehoods.
Maybe, put teachers behind class length plexiglass barrier (as in markets/costco now) and have masked helpers (intern educators or volunteers) work with raised hands. There are already two doors in each class. Teacher enters one. We already know COVID will spread and must be treated like other severe cold viruses. Most recover just like other colds/flus. Let kids help disinfect as in Japan where kids assist janitors in safe habits. Keep coughers out of school and somewhere safe for them so parents can work.
Disinfect kids for after school-- a final fun handwash replaces bells. It is at risk people we need to watch out for with pre-existing serious conditions. Adults of all ages need to respond to symptoms quickly. In the 1990s I helped a charter school in the east for disadvantaged rejected kids of crack /drugged parents create innovative learning modes--it is possible, less costly, and practical. That school was #1 in that inner city year after year, a city where today there is low literacy, and that school was "investigated" for its miraculous results. It was nothing more than "real life adventures" in a school community setting with parents and community expert volunteers and minimal administration. We lost creative charter schools this year--but should salvage their approach.
A number of non-native exotic trees planted by the city in tree lawns are nuisance trees. The Pepper Tree is invasive and bursts sewers & sidewalks, draws bees, exudes sticky resin and dropped seeds. To remove, every last root must be removed or it regenerates as much as 40 feet away. It makes me wonder about whoever the city pays to recommend trees.
Roger out.
Victim was Uncooperative with police and combative the call was changed from a 211 Robbery to a Mutual Combat 415pc and the Police have cleared the scene.
There is a possible torch walking around too I never heard weather or not the female that started the fires on the West Side was picked up...Also heard of a suspicious female near the Fairview rekindling the day after the big vegetation fire in Goleta...
