Scanner tracking different things said. Apparently the flame-thrower may be more of a blowtorch and he's been using it to light crossbow bolts on fire after dipping them in a bucket of tar. Also seen with a variety of other guns and the area he's in registered a gunshot on the city gunshot tracker and is believed to have been fired at a police helicopter (he was seen with a 'device' with a laser).

Finally some good news regarding our fires. Rain started this afternoon and it's forecasted for multiple days. The hope is this next 5 days of rain will allow them to finally contain all the fire and actually put out the one closest to me. The huge one in the middle of outer Province is getting help from FF in New York, Costa Rica, etc...
They reminded some of the evacuated streets on the outskirts of the affected area.
They also bused around some of the honeowners who lost their homes in now safe areas. Can't imagine what it would be like to see your property and all your belongings gone forever.
They obviously have a burn ban on and even closed all parks, no hiking, no fishing, etc... Province wide until further notice. Increased fines from $236 to $25,000 after they had 8 reports of seperate idiots ignoring the ban and burning shit.

A yearly occurrence on the west coast the past decade or two, but I was surprised to see NS suffering from such huge wildfires. Stay safe, amigo.
Need some validation from our brethren in CZ / eastern Europe.
I'm a brewer/ huge beer nerd, and spread the gospel of Czech pilsners to any who will listen.
I often hear other English-speaking beer guys pronounce Pilsner Urquell like how it's spelled, instead of "Ur-kell" which is how I've always pronounced it. Who's correct?

Yeah certainly not the norm for us.
Had bad hurricane last fall...lots of downed trees
Way less snow this winter
Then a much dryer April and May than usual
= a tinderbox in our forests
Fluke year? Or Climate change is real? Hmm...

Everything was beautiful, and nothing hurt
@Beef Invictus, featured tonight on one of the ScreenPix channels is the 1988 stunner, Mercenary Fighters.
A group of Mercs, led by Peter Fonda (playing a villainous knockoff Rambo with an inexplicable limp), is hired by a villainous African general to quash a rebellion of humble tribespeople who simply want to save their villages. New guy T.J. (Reb Brown) is mildly perturbed to be killing innocent villagers but really gets his ire up when the attractive white nurse - and rebel sympathizer - is about to get liquidated for being a total pain in the ass.
The attraction is mutual, despite him helping to slaughter a bunch of innocents that she cares for. No worries though, because she eventually laughs it off and takes him on a surprise date to meet the rebel leader, who is really a very nice guy and is simply envious he doesn't have own mercs - he respects their fighting ability - to square up against the general, his former school chum, despite the respective actors being noticeably 15 years apart in age.
The nurse and T.J. then make-out, mere seconds after the nurse loudly recounts the traumatic witnessing of the rape and mutilation of her aunt by government soldiers after loudly protesting that she doesn't want to talk about the traumatic witnessing of the rape and mutilation of her aunt by government soldiers.
Date over, she drops him off back at the merc base, but it doesn't seem to really bother anyone that the known rebel sympathizer has been making it with one of the guys the night before the big ambush against the rebels.
The big attack comes but it's the rebels who have the upper hand, it's a reverse ambush you see. The mercs fall one by one - so much for their incredible fighting prowess. T.J. valiantly slaughters dozens of rebels and at one point jumps on a jeep, takes the mounted gun in his hands, and screams as he starts blowing everyone away.
The mercs are decimated but the rebel leader is mortally wounded. T.J. is left for dead after his jeep is blown up and turns over onto him, but he walks off on his own steam with just a couple of flesh wounds. He's then taken back to the rebel leader, and somehow is elected to be the leader of the rebels. White savior much?
His girl now kidnapped, T.J. meets up with his buddy, the other good dude among the mercs (Ron O'Neal) and the big final battle happens and the rebels take out the rest of the general's forces, along with Peter Fonda, who gets blown up by not one but two grenades launched by T.J. in one hell of a double tap. Buddy & T.J. give up the war game, having seen the error of their ways, and the attractive nurse kisses our hero(?) goodbye.
I have never seen so many explosions in a film, nor so many randomly shouted line readings. It's a dreadfully funny film. However, there are a couple of scenes of actual beauty featuring the locals, such as a tribal initiation rite scene, that feel like the only reason the cinematographer agreed to do the film.
Anyway, here's the trailer:

80s movies was the peak of the pryo guy. It could be the crappiest plot, bad acting, but you could still have explosions better than even blockbusters of today lol.
I had a light duty truck blow the water pump in traffic. Definitely scary when it just shuts off, and cars go zipping by. Hope it ends up ok for you.
Also, once I was driving a car have the wheel come off the axle on the freeway in the middle of the bight. CHP tried to push me out of the road to no avail, and stayed parked behind me. About 20 minutes later a drunk driver in a truck blew up the CHP cruiser and sped off. Pre cell phones, woulda been a sick video!
Welcome to California East apparently. Late July to September now the forecast is smoke.

Listen, you. It's me and the pug by ourselves for 3 weeks. We have terrible food to eat and no jobs to go to, so don't bring any of that "work" stuff here and kill the vibe.

I passed by a place on the boardwalk today that said if you could an entire pie in 10 minutes, you win 250 free pizzas. I considered giving it a go.

You got a pug? I got one within the last year. He’s about 9 months now & an absolute menace.
