Rain will continue throughout the day Friday, but it will not be as intense as it was earlier this week, according to the National Weather Service.

There will be scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms throughout the region, forecasters say. Up to an inch of rain is possible along the coast and up to three inches in the mountains. A flash flood watch is in effect for areas below 4,500 feet through this afternoon.

More rain is expected Friday night.

Temperatures will remain on the cool side with highs in the upper 50s along the coast, low to mid-50s inland and mid-40s in the mountains.

Arson At SeaWorld? You Heard Right

Fire officials said arson is to blame for a fire on the SeaWorld fireworks barge anchored in Mission Bay early Friday.

The fire occurred approximately four hours after a New Year’s fireworks show at SeaWorld.

No one was injured in the fire, which caused about $15,000 in damage, said Maurice Luque, spokesman for San Diego Fire-Rescue.

Officials have not released any suspect information.

Fire was reported on the barge at about 1:20 a.m. It is anchored about 300 yards from the South Shores boat launch, close to SeaWorld and Fiesta Island.

No one was on the barge at the time of the fire and there were no fireworks stored on the ship, according to Luque.

The blaze was contained within 20 minutes of the firefighters arrival.

I don’t get people – on a holiday weekend…setting fire to a theme park. REALLLY SMART. :\

Traveling To Italy

admin — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 16:09:22 +0000

In a few months I’ll be traveling to Italy for business – it’ll be my first time there (though I have been to Europe), so, while I have a little idea of what to expect…I really don’t know my way around the country at all. I was talking to my friend who had been there before and he told me that without a doubt, I need to look inyo Car Hire Italy to travel around. I usually do get a car hire if I’m in a bit city that I’m not too familiar with, so, I have to agree it’s a good idea. Plus, can you image me driving on the other side of the road? I have a difficult time enough as it is right now!!! haha

14th Annual Blessing At Mission SLR

admin — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 15:36:42 +0000

The Mission San Luis Rey Parish honored its patron saint, Francis of Assisi, with an animal blessing and fair Saturday, the 800th anniversary since St. Francis established a new order of friars minor in 1209.

This was the parish’s 14th annual St. Francis Day celebration

After parading through the grounds of the parish, proud pet owners formed lines that stretched around the courtyard for a blessing of their animals.

Young and old carried the furry, the feathered and even the scaly to the Rev. Charles Talley for a sprinkle of holy water and a hushed prayer.

Most of the 200 or so blessed pets were dogs, but there were also a few cats, parakeets, chinchillas, gerbils, hamsters and a salamander.

I thought it was pretty cool! Kinda wild living next to such a big part of history.

Our Lil Panda Is Growing Up!!

The newest addition to the giant panda family at the San Diego Zoo is growing, gaining 1.2 pounds this week, zoo officials said yesterday.

The 6-week-old male cub weighed 5.1 pounds and measured 1.3 feet during his weekly veterinary examination on Thursday. He’s getting HUGE!!!!

As the cub gets older, his mother, Bai Yun, is also getting to spend more time in a garden room where she can eat and drink outside the den.

They showed the little guy on the news last night using the Panda Cam and he looked so cute sleeping. I wanted to go steal him and bring him home…lmao

Gonna Be a Busy Labor Day

San Diego police officers will be out in force at the beaches during the Labor Day weekend to enforce alcohol and parking regulations in an effort to prevent a repeat of a riot that erupted two years ago.

About 750,000 people are expected to swarm area beaches during the three- day weekend, which is just a little more than they had last season.

Personally, I do my best to avoid the beaches this weekend. I figured I have about 50 other weekends to use the beach when it’s not crowded, and, I would suggest you do the same. If you do go though, please be careful and don’t drink. Be safe!

Any Smart Bloggers Out There?

That would be so kind to tell me how to remove that silly video on the side of the page, towards the bottom? Well, actually it’s just a graphic…not a video but it’s annoying me since it has nothing to do with this site. It just came with the template, but, it’s nearly impossible to remove! Help!!!! lol

Anybody See The Giant Squids?

admin — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 15:29:00 +0000

Beachgoers in La Jolla may have thought they were in a horror movie this morning.

First came a rumble, and then giant sea urchins invaded the beach, at least so says the Union Tribune. I didn’t really feel much. lol

The rumble came from a magnitude 4.0 earthquake that struck at 7:34 a.m. and was centered 19 miles west of La Jolla in the ocean. After it struck though, a TON of 4-5 foot giant squid started coming up onto the beaches. They said that people were helping drag them out to sea again, but omg – how crazy is that?!

I’ve seen some wild stuff come up on the shore here, but, I’ve never seen anything like that!
