Pacific NW News Friday August 9, 2013


Just for a bit we will be "broadcasting" from this location as it takes a long time to set up a completely new blog. You might find it interesting that I have been using blogs as storage devices for a while. This also means anything posted here will be archived for as long as Google chooses to do so.

Another interesting thing many are familiar with on other websites but never before when I hosted my own site since 1992, was the ability to leave comments. Since I tend to be political both nationally and in local politics, this may or may not be a good thing so try to say something that is not likely to start a giant fight, thereby losing the entire site to a comment. -Thanks The Editing Team

CNN’s Chief medical Correspondent, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, had a change of heart about marijuana.
The veteran broadcaster and American neurosurgeon has been a consistent and even-minded voice against the proliferation of marijuana in society, and its use medicinally.
Back in 2009, Gupta even penned a piece for TIME magazine called “Why I would Vote No on Pot,” which outlines his skepticism about the benefits of marijuana based on what he called “unimpressive” scientific literature.
But on Friday morning, Gupta apologized.

A Southern California wildfire that consumed 25 square miles of dry, mountainous terrain in less than two days was heading east in the direction of Palm Springs Friday morning, as high winds were worrying fire officials.

More than 1,400 firefighters battled the blaze overnight as gusts continued to push the flames, which prompted mandatory evacuations and worries about the fire's dangerous growth potential.

Since it broke out about 2 p.m. Wednesday in the foothills of the San Jacinto Mountains about 90 miles east of Los Angeles, the blaze has injured five firefighters and severely burned one resident.

Nearly 30 structures, most of them homes, were destroyed.
