If you’re referring to the yet-to-be-built wall on our southern border, that’s a long distance away from Malibu, though there are plenty of “walls” keeping the hoi palloi from the properties of the wealthy. I do believe the state requires beach access for us lower economic classes, though. So owners cannot wall off the entire area. Building of all types is strictly regulated by the California Coastal Commission.

See the Wiki on Granville Redmond’s life plus photos of his other works …https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granville_Redmond
This particular artwork is an oil on 20 x 25 inch canvas done in 1929 and looks to be painted before the Pacific Coast Highway was built through the Rindge property (I believe the doctrine of “eminent domain” prevailed and forced May Rindge to give up her beachfront property which had been part of an old Spanish Land Grant ranch covering umpteen acres).
If you’re visiting southern California and you’d like to plan a drive on the Pacific Coast Highway (or the PCH as locals call it), see “Driving Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu California” By Betsy Malloy for some suggestions. Taking Sunset Boulevard to the Pacific from downtown Los Angeles is the most scenic. You’ll get a feel for every economic level of L.A. It was always my favorite route.
For a history/beautiful photos of CA Route 1 (of which PCH is a part), see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_State_Route_1
California has been stolen by the present socialist government and their hatred of all things American. It makes me both sick and sad that such a beautiful place is basically politically lost, likely forever, to the American people. Opposition politics has pretty much given up the fight, though pockets of patriots remain all across the state.

Let’s see if this helps any. A friend of mine who was about 76 at the time stepped backwards, stepped on a shoe, fell, and put down her hands to stop her fall. Broke BOTH wrists. Both had casts. She had to move in with her granddaughter for about 6 weeks because she couldn’t do anything for herself. 😦 The good news. The doctor said when they had healed and the casts came off that her wrists were now stronger than before. At about 80, she is on a bowling team now.

Oh, Mary! I am so sorry. Really. When any part or parcel of our body isn’t available or isn’t working right, it changes things so completely.
Ten days ago I got the cord from the electric mower wrapped around my numb (neuropathy’d) feet and fell full length on my face, really hurting both my feet and both my hands. My fingers did not “open” as I fell but “scrunched” under so that I hit full weight with them in a fist configuration. Pulled and stressed each tendon and each tiny muscle. Bruising and pain and aching all over still – can’t cut stuff or use scissors, etc. and shouldn’t anyway, to spare them until they recover.
I will just sit here by you for awhile if I might. Can’t fix it, but I will sit alongside and care.

I fell on the concrete and would have fallen flat except I twisted slightly and fell on my right upper arm. I had severe shoulder pain for about a year. I would wake up crying it hurt so bad. My chiropractor didn’t seem to know what to do with it and suggested it was probably my rotator cuff. So, I didn’t see a doctor because I wasn’t going to have any kind of operation. One day I was trying to put sheets on my bed. I have a very heavy mattress and just couldn’t lift the corner of it with my left hand. Temper got the best of me and I reached down and jerked it with my right hand and the pain so so excruciating I almost blacked out. I figure I had done it in for sure. Nope. Evidently it had been slightly out of socket all that time. It has been fine ever since.

I tripped over something which was slightly out of place…mea culpa for not being sufficiently aware of my surroundings (Condition White). But if I hadn’t broken the fall with my arm, worse could have happened–to face, teeth, head, or neck–so I am thankful.
My break is nothing like your husband’s was, and the pain level was not high, even after it first happened.

When Michael broke his arm it was mid-February in Northern Michigan & he and co-workers were digging a pit for a valve box (he worked for a company servicing the oil & gas industry) & his boss wouldn’t spring for a backhoe so the guys were digging a 4X4X4 hole with pickaxes & shovels through the frozen soil when one of the sides gave way & my husband fell in holding onto the handle of his shovel which lodged into the wall as he fell and the force torqued his arm to the breaking point.
The pain level comment may have actually been when our oldest son, Nathaniel, had a displaced forearm break that also looked like extra wrist-bones–he ultimately ended up having 3 surgeries on it. Glad you’re not in too much pain!

“Do New DNA Discoveries Really Disprove the Bible?”
Posted Jul 31, 2017 by Michael L. Brown
“There was a spate of headlines last week claiming that new scientific discoveries disproved the historical narrative of the Bible. Headlines included, “DNA vs the Bible: Israelites did not wipe out the Canaanites” and “Study disproves the Bible’s suggestion that the ancient Canaanites were wiped out.” The problem is that the reverse is actually true: The discoveries confirm what the Scriptures explicitly state.”

That’s how I felt about Tucker’s potty training. Good news is that I think he finally is completely trained. No accidents in the house, even in his crate, and he always rings the bell to go out.
Now for the pawing, biting (getting better) and counter surfing …
He’s almost six months old now! He lost two baby teeth last week (that I found).
ADD: Success was achieved through following my vet’s advice – crate strictly when he isn’t supervised – and letting him out every 2 hours or so. That pretty much guaranteed that he wouldn’t go in the house.

If I’d have stayed married one of us would have been long dead and the other featured on a cable ‘real crime’ program.
Czarina and I are at 35 years in a few days…we were married (after a few years of doing the POSSLQ) sometime around the 20th of August in ’82. We aren’t sure and are too lazy to open the file cabinet to find out…after all these years what does it matter anyway? It’s 50ish years for both of us if you count our previous marriages as serial polygamy.

Yeah, if I had stayed married someone would have probably been put in a grave and the other in jail. He verbally abused me near the end and then threatened to hit me. I knew I could not live with the fear of being hit and my temper is too bad to allow it to happen a second time. And, he always drank several beers before bed and there was a loaded Magnum 45 (or whatever) in the drawer on his side of the bed. I couldn’t think of any reason to stay.

The remarkably intelligent, challenging and well-spoken Amity Shlaes talks with Mark Steyn. If you have a spare half hour, it’s worth your time to view….
Published on Aug 4, 2017
“November’s US election was, according to Kellyanne Conway, the “Forgotten Man” election. President Trump has returned to this theme from time to time – he did so in West Virginia just last night – and it reminds us (as the “Russia investigation” and Scaramucci/Preibus palace intrigue do not) of just why he won. But the idea of the Forgotten Man has deep roots in American political history, and in this edition of The Mark Steyn Weekend Show, Mark explores them with the author of a fine book on the subject. Steyn and Shlaes discuss the evolution of the Forgotten Man from the late 19th century to the Trump era.”
FYI, Shlaes graduated from Yale University magna cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in English in 1982 and also attended the Freie Universitaet Berlin.

My dad tells several war-time survival stories (he’s about 2 1/2 years older than you)…My grandpa had his own Sunoco gas station & he used to get paid in “scrip” during the war (some of it that never got transformed to real money). Even owning a gasoline business (in the city of Detroit) didn’t allow him sufficient gas to go Up North to hunt. Some farming relatives used to leave some of their extra gas (apparently farmers got lots of gas during rationing) in cans in the ditch by a particular mile marker on the main highway north, so he could complete a trip.
Grandpa also had (what I believe was called) a Vulcanizing Machine, something that allowed him to repair tires by melting down rubber, I think. Apparently you couldn’t get rubber during The War. My dad said (well after Grandpa was dead) that his dad thought that machine should have been in a museum, because it was basically responsible for keeping Detroit cars on the road throughout the war…

A sad update. Yesterday I mentioned that they were looking for a little lost 6 year old. They found him right after dark. He was in the lake/pond. 😦 His grandmother had taken him to the pool earlier in the day and he was wanting to go back. They lived across the street, not on the lake. But, he knew the way and it was beside the lake. He probably couldn’t have gotten into the pool because there is a latch on the gate that he would have trouble opening. I sure do.
He is safe in God’s arms. But, I am sure his family would appreciate your prayers.

The entire system was, if I can ùse the word, amazing in its complexity and functions. We are still using data the Germans gathered in testing at the camps.
I stil want to go to Auschwitz, it’s not only in the area my grandfather’s from but members of his mother’s family disappeared from the Lodz ghetto, last place they were documented, and probably ended up there.

These police dogs sniff out memory cards used to hide child porn

Todd Jordan, who runs the Greenfield company, gets most of the Labrador retrievers from rescues organizations. He looks for dogs that are hyper and “happy-go-lucky,” he said.
He then trains them to detect the odor of a chemical compound called triphenylphosphine oxide that is used in the production of memory boards. When the dogs are able to track the chemical, they can find small electronics such as thumb drives, portable hard drives and SD cards — even micro SD cards, which are the size of a fingernail but can contain up to 200,000 images.

The challenge for some police departments is getting the dogs.
That’s where Neighborhood Electronic Detection K-9 Inc. comes in. The Greenfield nonprofit organization buys and donates the trained dogs to law enforcement officers nationwide.
Chuck Harsin, who runs Neighborhood Electronic Detection K-9 Inc., said he felt he had a “social and moral obligation” to help law enforcement officers buy the dogs.
“There are so many opportunities to stop crime with (these) dogs,” Harsin said. “… We found out that because of the levels of bureaucracy, it’s difficult to finance these dogs.”
So Harsin and his wife decided to get involved. Harsin formed Neighborhood Electronic Devices Inc. last year as a 501(c)3 organization in order to provide funding to buy the dogs for law enforcement agencies.

Unsaid by the new, nonnative news foljs is what you see behind them in the flood shots – the hundred year old plus houses along the streets are high and dry. Original builders knew the city’s drainage in the working folks areas sux and built those houses from 18 to 24 inches off the ground as that was generally how deep the area flooded.

He was on fire for a full minute. There will be some changes next year, I will make sure my son has the safest gas tank you can buy. Although he takes safety pretty seriously and spends the money to get the highest rated suit, gloves and shoes, from now on he will have a brand new suit every year along with socks, gloves, shoes and hood.
We got an update from his daughter, burns are 60% of his body, his face is really bad, one hand is extremely bad, too swollen to do surgery on, but they still plan on doing surgery on other parts this afternoon. He’s having trouble with his bp dropping, but they think the medication has it under control. He’s still sedated, but they haven’t told them anything in hours.
