Prisoners find a new way to obtain drugs and cell phones:

.And speaking of drug smuggling. Just file this one under the "Everything Old Is New Again" category.

You're a soon to be laid off airline pilot. Looking for work. Might be some openings in India.

It is extremely smoky here in the central valley of CA. Here are some webcams in my general area that show the conditions. Adjust for when it is daylight in my part of the world. UTC -8

It doesn't look as if Boy George will be able to make his scheduled concert appearances in the US. We won't grant him a visa. I wonder if he can get a MasterCard?
