Hopefully the gas tax will be repealed in the upcoming election, which will lower the California gas prices overnight.

Not by much.  The gas tax up for repeal is 12 cents.  Good news at the pump today though.  The lower oil prices are working it's way through the system.  A local gas station dropped prices by 4 cents today.

I’m just going to rename this thread
San Diego

I was just settling in to work on my forum/site todo list when I got a call from my landlord asking me to come outside.
There was an injured Hawk—- it got into my apartment



Captured



It’s a Cooper’s hawk with a broken wing

Sad little hawk. :(

I tried helping out what I thought was an injured hawk a few years ago in San Francisco.  I was walking by my neighbor's lawn and thought it was a really realistic looking lawn ornament.  Then it blinked.  Another passerby and I thought it was injured since it was just standing there staring at us.  So we put a recycle bin over it to protect it and called the humane society.  They asked us if it looked hurt.  It didn't.  So they sad it was probably just resting and that we should take the bin off.  We did.  It turned it's head and stared at both of us and then flew away.

it was pretty obvious that there was a broken wing situation- s/he tried to fly but couldn't
