We read books, we conversed, we watched a couple of movies, we went to Borders and browsed. All in all, a pleasant (if grey weather) day.!

That "just a little bit of rain" bk commented upon was enough to start a roaring torrent down the LA River which bent 1/2 steel piping!

Outages, damage in storm's wake

Quote

The intensity of Friday night's storm also managed to destroy a trash boom at the mouth of the Los Angeles River.

Field technician Dave Duncan of Frey Environmental went to the site at 6 a.m. Saturday to check on the boom and saw the effects of Mother Nature.

Duncan set up the booms six years ago to collect the trash that would otherwise flow into the bay and onto beaches.

However, the force of the water flowing down the river caused the half-inch thick steel to bend at a 90 degree angle.

"That's some incredible force," Duncan said.

He dragged the booms out of the water and said they will need to be repaired before they could be put back in the water.

"If we have another terrible storm, I'll be in trouble," Duncan said.

About 15 to 20 tons of trash were already loaded and ready to go to the landfill after the storm, but Duncan said he still had about 60 tons of trash to haul out of the water.

"I wish that people would put the trash where it belongs. It is pretty disgusting when you think about it," Duncan said.

Last year, the company hauled away 152 tons of trash, but since October, the company has already collected 452 tons of trash.

Yikes - nearly 50 tons of trash a week cruising down the river! (Which, if not captured, flows to the sea and then washes up on the beach at the next high tide!

On a different note, has anyone seen or received a Utah quarter they would be willing to part with? I have been to three different banks over the holidays and I can't seem to find any. I usually have at least one by now but it's been out for over a month and I can't get one.

Primitive, too!

Good morning, all. Was it JANE EYRE or MARTHA, INC that made my sleeping so lousy? Perhaps it was my neighbor above me. He's a nice young real estate fellow with a wonderful dog that he uses as babe bait, and he has the noisiest mattress on the Upper West Side. Last night he wandered in around 1 am with a young lady and the footsteps proceeded quickly from the apartment door to his bed. At around 9 this morning there was a flurry of activity from the sound of hurried footsteps, so I guess they overslept.

Today, I need to deal with the IRS and take a day away from this blased "Lady of the Slipper" report. Maybe my ideas will fall into place. Maybe I'll flap my arms and fly to the moon.

DR Ben, you'd probably fit into my tux; it's about 15 years and three sizes younger than I.

Here is the recipe for Green Tuna Noodle Casserole

Tuna noodle casserole with spinach and cheese.

INGREDIENTS:

1 package (12 ounces) egg noodles, cooked and drained
2 packages (10 ounces each) frozen chopped spinach, cooked and drained
2 cans (6 1/2 to 7 oz each) tuna, drained
1 large jar (4 ounces) diced pimientos
2 teaspoons grated onion
2 cups grated sharp cheese, divided

PREPARATION:

Combine noodles, spinach and remaining ingredients, reserving about 1/2 cup of the cheese to sprinkle on top. Cook in covered casserole dish in 350° oven until cheese is bubbly.

(note: I have left out the spinach and substituted other greens and used spinach noodles. I have also added mushrooms before)
