• Reb, Red Emma, and Limber Lou live in a lovely house right above "Arden"—Madame Modjeska's place. On the LA Times graphic at right, their home is located just below the "e" of "Modjeska" and just to the right of the black dots! (I'm sure Red will correct me if I'm wrong. He always does.)• Chunk's place (and the greater Wheeler Compound) are at the "e" of "Live Oak Canyon."
• (A certain union officer ["Rodeo Boy"] lives just below "day 3" on the map. Not sure whether the evacuation is still in effect for him. RB is not among the Dissent the Blog crew, though he's certainly welcome to join!)
• (A certain former union officer ["Whitewash Willy"] lives at the "o" of "Trabuco Canyon." [Which o? —Take your pick!] WW is no Dissenter, that's for sure—his nose is a deep Mathurian brown—but he does seem to be our most loyal reader! Go figure!)Right now, things look good for the Dissenters, canyon-domicilewise. It even seems to be sprinkling right now! Yes!
We're still waiting to be allowed to return to our homes. Reb and crew at least got a chance to visit their place earlier today. RE told me that it's kinda "ugly" out there, but that won't last long.
Again, we're mighty grateful to the firefighters.
(Madame Modjeska's "Arden" is only a stone's throw from Reb's place—if, that is, you're tossin' that stone from Reb's place, which is up the side of the canyon. Architecture fans take note: Arden was designed by the great Stanford White.)

The Lord has spared you all!
No, the mighty awesome wonderful firefighters saved you all.
'The lord', whoever or whatever the fuck that is had nothing to do with it.
Perhaps it was Jack Lord, he may have had something to do with it.
Nice penis on the new graphic.
5:19 -- evidently, you are unfamiliar with the Sistine Chapel ceiling.
Can't you do something to filter out this illiterate louts?
Nice mappage.
And Thanks to the firefighters!
See, that's the difference between you and "them," Chunk: you're kind enough to include the likes of WW in your update of those displaced--a kindness he'd never reciprocate. For all your dissent, you're a humanitarian at heart. Thank you for the constancy of your alerts. May you return home ASAP.
"A deep Mathurian brown" nose is hilarious. I had to wipe what I spewed off my computer screen--which reminds me that "lickspittle" is a fine word, too.
Glad you and your sense of humor remain intact.

No sympathy - don't live in the canyons and make my tax dollars pay to save your home.
Seeing Chunk's face so close to the naked guy from "the Sistine Chapel" threw me off for a sec...
Wish the mental images would go away :(
hmm, what services ofetn used by non-canyon dwellers do do canyon dwellers taxes help pay for?
hmm?
I am fully aware of the Sistene Chapel, I just have a sense of humor asshole.

Non-canyon services don't put peoples lives at risk and cost millions of dollars.
I'd be in favor of placing much greater restrictions on home construction in the "canyons"--e.g., much lower density, much greater scrubbing requirements, stricting building codes, etc. That should greatly reduce the cost to taxpayers.
The downside, of course, is that such measures would inevitably price out those without high incomes. --CW

So, 10:10, how do you feel about your tax money subsidizing giant corporations? And war profiteering?
What a dick.
10:10--
Or Raghu's bloated salary.
WTF does the war have to do with this?
hmm, my canyon tax dollars pay for all that crime created in the cities and suburbs - but I don't complain about it.
Yeah, what about all the slugs that live in high-risk areas and don't buy insurance? FEMA ends up bailing them out anyway, so what’s the point in the rest of us even buying insurance?
You know, if those terrorists had it their way and we surrendered to them, all you understanding bleeding-heart liberal professor types would be precisely the first ones they would go after to behead and you know it.
Terrorists? I more worried about the crazy right-wingers.
So what you're saying, 1:20, is that the terrorists would go after the liberals first. Thus, the liberals are the true enemies of terrorists, right?
Thanks for the compliment.
