The leaking storage of “highly toxic substance” in heavily populated area still not mitigated since firefighters responded Thursday to the bulging overheated tank belonging to GKN Aerospace, where about 7,000 gallons of methyl methacrylate was becoming pressurized and releasing toxic gas. ...

1. The “highly toxic substance” that can “impact the respiratory system, cause skin irritation and eye irritation” is an industrial chemical used in plastics and manufacturing. It triggered broad evacuations on Friday.

LA food is amazing. I was casually looking up what to eat near the Amtrak station and I found a spot that specializes in Utsonomiya style gyoza. That's the level of specificity and regionality I really love, and I wish I had more of that where I live (SF)

Any tips for Santa Barbara? Going there for the first time. Staying near the harbor / funk zone.
No car (so walking, rideshare, etc).
Interested in food (especially seafood and good pizzas and coffee), easy hikes, and art.

1. This is a colour photo in landscape format of a surfer at sunrise. Hermosa Beach, California (2014). The lower quarter of the image is filled by ink-black water with a few ripples disturbing the surface. To the right of centre is a male surfer on his surfboard and in the forward part of the surf of a breaking wave. The board is heading directly towards the camera, the surfer's body also facing forward, but his head is angled nearly at right angles over his right shoulder. Our surfer is wearing a black wetsuit and is illuminated, as if by studio lighting, by the recently risen low morning sun. His silhouetted image is reflected in the dark waters ahead of him. He is surrounded by a mass of white breaking surf with the wave being at a slight diagonal angle at the top of the image with the smooth dark water behind being in shadow.

1. This is a colour photo of the stern of a large container ship listing to starboard (right) while loading and unloading in port. Long Beach, California (2015). The lower twenty-five percent of the frame is filled with medium blue calm water with a few ripples from the afternoon sea breeze disturbing the surface. Running along the right margin of the image is the low, about two metres, side of the dock. The camera is about thirty metres aft of a large container ship moored to the dock. Four stout and taut mooring lines are stretching from the stern to the shore with many more out of view. Reaching upwards on along the right side of the photo are the tall, red, vertical legs of the gantry cranes that load and unload the many shipping containers from the ship. Two horizontal red and white striped booms can be seen reaching over the ship, with cables lowered down to load or unload a container. The ship's stern is flat and painted light grey, with the ships name 'OOCL SHENZHEN' and Hong Kong: the port of registry in bold blue letters. Above are ten rectangular openings about three metres above the waterline, it's from here that the mooring lines are fed out. A few metres above are three rows of thirteen further larger rectangular openings through which many of the stowed containers can be seen. The interesting and unusual aspect of this photo is that the ship has a noticeable list (its leaning) to starboard.

Ah. Monsoon moisture is coming to southern California. This is no joke.
Stay off of freeways, if you can. Some of them dip under overpasses. Not cool in flash floods.

Santa Monica Pier
This image was taken from the beach of Santa Monica. I'm guessing the rubber around the pilons is there to protect surfers as they slalom between them.
There are two things that I do really like though about Southern California and that is the weather and the beaches.
I love the beach for one and playing in the waves is fun.

1. Santa Monica Pier This is an image of the Santa Monica Pier taken from underneath the pier. The pilings of the pier run somewhat parallel to each other although they are offset in places. The pilings have rubber bolted to them, not sure if this is for surfer safety or not. There is a whitecap wave rolling through the center of the image with a beautiful green color from the ocean showing in the background.

There used to be a drive-in theater along the I-10 freeway in the #SoCal #SGV after most of the others had already closed. It finally closed and was home to a swap meet for many years. They finally built a hospital there.

I'm not sure if that is the one that I went to with one of my brothers and some of his friends (up to six people allowed per car). I don't even remember what movie we went to see, just that the 2nd feature was "Flesh Gordon" ... pretty surprising at the time.

(This was also the time when some pirate TV broadcaster known as "X3" would transmit "illicit content" on TV channel 3 late at night on weekends. Or so my friends at school claimed. I never saw it myself.)

As a late Baby Boomer, the social contract between corporations and employees had already fallen apart [1] before I joined the workforce. I always knew there would be no such thing as a comfortable life of relaxation with a sufficient pension to support myself. I don't consider this "grab all I can, even if you starve" attitude of corporate leadership to be a market economy [2] (which is what I think of when I say capitalism), but instead it is a regression to the days of feudal mercantilism. In those days as in these, the difference between near-poverty and excessive wealth is the favor of a ruler.

In one town where I lived, the local water company didn't do any maintenance on its pipes for over a decade, despite having the highest prices in the area. Probably two decades. Then the owners sold the company to a large corporation. The new owners promptly announced huge price increases to cover the emergency replacement of most water mains. Municipal ownership isn't always a magical cure, but it certainly couldn't be any worse than what we experienced.

[1] In the part of #SoCal where I lived, the factories and warehouses across the bridge in the next city over all closed. It was around a decade later before most of those buildings found new tenants ... and I had already moved out of the area by then.

[2] Markets requires certain things to work, including potential interventions to prevent one party from gaining "market power" (the ability to unilaterally set terms and prices). Once we consented to form long-lived corporations that are independent of the people who own, run, and work for them, the only possible remedies left are strong unions and strong regulation. Nor do markets necessarily cover everything we need. It is acceptable to have municipal entities providing utilities such as water, sewer, and the last mile of electricity and telecommunications services.
