Rain Delay

SATURDAY NIGHT UPDATE….
We have been at the airport now for nearly 5 hours. Our flight was delayed numerous times and now cancelled and second flight has been delayed and due to the storm, may not take-off for Reno either. We are now downstairs at LAX, trying to get our luggage and we’ll be on the air here in Southern California Sunday morning for Fox and Friends. That’s about the time the next storm hits us here in Los Angeles.
As we had feared last night as the rain and strong winds hammered the west, we are packed and trying to get on the road to Reno. The call came this morning and the crew of Chris Spinder (Producer), Scott King (Photographer) and me, quickly packed and made our way to LAX. The traffic wasn’t as bad as I expected, but the lines and delays here at the airport are some of the worst I have ever encountered. For an hour and forty-five minutes we waited in line to check luggage and now our flight has been delayed yet again. Already two hours behind schedule, we were hoping to get to Reno and scout our location before dark.
That wont happen now and we have to be on location at 2:30am our time for east coast live shots. So long as we land safely, our luggage makes it and our rental car hasn’t been given away, I’ll be happy. Simple pleasures I guess. Here’s Scott and I waiting and you can click on the link (more) for the specific story we’re heading towards. ruptured early Saturday after heavy rainfall, pouring 3 feet of near-freezing water into about 800 homes and stranding about 3,500 people, authorities said.
A 30-foot-long section of the Truckee Canal broke shortly before 5 a.m. in the desert agricultural town east of Reno, officials said.
? No injuries were reported.
? Water was 3 to 4 feet deep in parts of the town, resident Mariana Hicks said.
? The area had gotten heavy rain on Friday as a storm pummeled the West Coast, raising a threat of mud slides and flooding in California, blacking out thousands of customers and blanketing the Sierra Nevada range with deep snow.
? Residents were being taken by 10 school buses to a local shelter, and bulldozers were being brought in to shore up the levee, said Chuck Allen of the Nevada Department of Public Safety.
? Helicopters also were being used, including two from the nearby Naval Air Station Fallon, authorities reported.

Adam: Not much, just been studying, eatting, sleeping and watching fox. I’ll be glad when the exams are over! I enjoy watching people at airports, so long as they’re not little children screaming. Then i just turn up the music on my phone and block them out.
Tiamat–
thanks for the clarification– hard to keep up with all the psychos– I think they should put Charlie, Dennis Rader (BTK), Ramirez, that Hillside Strangler, Michael Devlin, Scott Peterson all together in one cell—oh– and throw in that other psycho– the Al Qaeda ameican–the one who just tore up his passport and threatened Bush–
Did you hear about the two boys (Zoo)? The paramedics overheard the two boys making a secret pact on not to tell what they did? They were drinking, smoking some weed and taunting—I bet you everything I own, Tatiana could have made it up another four feet on the wall– hell has no fury when it comes to the wrath of a female tiger!!!!!!!
I want to slap them— big time— Yes Mark Geragos– encourage these guys to think they did nothing wrong—- I want to slap Mark too—- I am so angry—
Susan – Squeaky was NOT released from prison … It was Sarah Jane Moore (the other psycho chick that tried to whack President Ford) …
Charlie needs to stay locked up til he croaks … He’s still the psycho loon he always was … Same with Richard Ramirez and the half of the “Hillside Strangler” pair that’s still alive …
Next time you are stuck in an airport and bored pull out that handycam then interview some of the more colorful people that are more than willing to describe their angst. You might get one or two real gems! lol
Adam…………Good Morning…..or evening (depending on how ‘you’ are looking at it). I just turned on the TV, turned to FOX, and the first person I see is you from Malibu on your 8:00am segment………………well, that was OK, but when you turned it back to F&F and I saw their regular crew in the studio my heart skipped a beat. No, not because Alysin and Gretchen looked stunning as usual, but I thought ,”Holy S**t” ( it is Sunday after all ) it’s Monday. With all the NFL football yesterday, it made me wonder.
Did the Sunday F&F crew quit, or is Britney and a little rain shower in SoCal really such a big event?………..just kidding ,my man….great reporting and stay safe out there.
Rod–
I am closing this side down– I will definitely get into the other side-
nite-
You should have gotten 2 emails already, Susan. There’ll be more as we talk. I’m off ta bed. See ya tomorrow! -Rod-
Adam–
if you don’t see Terri- Vegas, for a few days, like about two weeks, she is going on vacation-
Max—
Hey Rod–
You know where I live when I am not here with Adam– I am glad you caught on—
Gute nact – Dobranok- buenas noches- good night-
your friends,
FOX Groupies

Just an FYI—
John44 is still going to town on the last Tiger taunting thread. He cracks me up!
I did praise him a little bit ago for standing his ground and manning the fort there.
He’ll be there till the cows come home.
Powering down………mañana____________________________________________–
SUSAN TO JEN: was this me who taught you –mañana?
_____________________________________________________________
I just learned how to say good night in Polish–Dobranoc- gute nact- German for good night- and then Hebrew– chara, for crap, and balgan, for mess, and my favorite- Kosemec– (can’t tell you this one– because I think you might be offended– because you are a good girl)
I think he said 2:30am or 2:33am…something like that… for the eastcoast to air at 5:30am.
I bet your cute bud, next to you, at the airport is not a happy camper–
******************Adam**************************
I hope you get paid the big bucks for all of this BS to buy an island of which Avi has questioned you?
Dobranoc and I hope your chara gets cleared up–
translation- Dobranoc (Max- polish for good night) and I hope your chara (Avi-hebrew- crap)
gets cleared up.
Adam– what time Sunday morning? You forgot to tell- I can’t have the tele running for you– please include the time—
Signed,
Your personal assistants,
all of us
Got it Susan…incoming! -Rod-
And dobranoc is spelt right, i asked my dad.
********************ADAM****************
SO– what happens to your story?

The look on Adam and Scotts face in this picture is probably similar to the look they have when they read some of my posts.
___________________________________________________
There is no way they are going to be as cute as you!!!!!!
Bloggers–
Adam might not be around tomorrow–
AIRPORT ALERT–
Adam is still on alert- at the airport– I bet he is pissed—
Plus no sleep–
Max–
so in other words, I just learned how to say good night in Polish and German?
I reversed the polish with the german— no wonder I remember drobanak—
I just wrote these down–
along with Avi’s cuss words—
actually– if I read gute nact– this does sound german– duh on me!
dobranoc–is polish—
Max– you saved me again!!!!
The look on Adam and Scotts face in this picture is probably similar to the look they have when they read some of my posts.
dobranoc is the Polish for goodnight. gute nact is casual german for goodnight.
****************************Adam***********************
your word for the day-
**************************EQUANIMITY***************************
dobranoc is the Polish for goodnight. gute nact is casual german for goodnight.

They won’t let him out… maybe Leslie or Pat Krenwinkle but not Charlie. He said many times himself that he doesn’t want to be out. He couldn’t survive in the outside world. He would need to get a job to survive. Can you imagine! McDonalds might hire him though. That’s one company that doesn’t do effiecient background checks.
—————————————————————————————————–
I do not have a problem with felons getting a job- non- violent crimes– everyone makes mistakes- but Charlie has been incarcerated for all these years, and he hasn’t still touched first base for being reasonable–
Max–
what does this mean?
Susan: gute nact, dobranoc–
Polish- good night- but what is dobranac? I have heard that word– my grandmother used it–
translate- dobranoc– I can hear it-
Rod–
last comment– I left you my email address–
Don’t taunt the kitties—
Susan: gute nact, dobranoc
Max-
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx buenas noches!
ADAM—
Max- as in UK?
Max–
I will keep our emails up- if I send you a joke– you know, I did not forget you–
the blog is cool– Adam is very popular– but I don’t think for a moment he has forgotten you- as you were one of the bright ones here– as AVI–
You are just much shyer–
****************************Adam*******************************
remember Max?
*blush* sleep tight! I miss talking to you too! That’s why you should email more
It’s just hard to keep up with the blog now as it’s posted on so often now!
xoxoxox back to you.
Rod- you take good care! You are a very nice person- this comes from my heart-
You have my email address, which I JUST posted–
_________________________________________________________________________
Max-
I am going to bed here in a bit— You are my best bud— I miss you when you don’t come in-
___________________________________________________________________
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx- to all- but not Adam—-
Max–
You are my friend– remember? I would never stop emailing you even if you forgot me for a few days— you have been so cool with me– by the way– we have to figure out if lions lose their manes from fighting or stress?
Max–
Well, let me get my present over to your side of the world– and you wear it– and you can find out–
Since it is here– dog hair and all- remember? I emailed you when I was at the Cardinals game and bought you the t-shirt? It is a medium- and red-
Susan: If you email me, i’ll always get to them, even if i’ve not been on here.
Satuday Night Live is on– not FOX– SORRY– I sure miss the older ones!
Susan: I dont know how many people know about it. Most people here know of America, but know next to nothing about what America is like.
Max–
You know I won’t be sending you a bomb– just memorabilia of AZ– So when in the UK, you wear the t-shirt– how many people know AZ?
Max—
Your friend Avi has been teaching me great swear words—
Rod–
now send me pictures over there and likewise!
Susan: i was asleep, after a little while then i’ll be on during the day as well. I emailed that next week would be good, i’ll send my address soon.
Pigs look tasty! lol
ROD–
Here is my email address- no one is going to come in here and read all of this–
paradise1az@cox.net
feel free to use this—–
Max—
Tomasa, hippo, is hanging in here with me– she is not going to be around much more– I know this— but what would be so cool, is if she just died here at home– because when I GO to bed, she just lays right next to me—and I know she is old- maybe 16, right now- so her time is coming up– her dying here at home next to me- in her sleep- would be so appreciated–
HELLO GOD–
Just checking in between commercials. I’m watching golf this evening.
Thanks for the link, Susan. I sure wish I had Smokey and Eesh with me. But they’re only inside.
Did you see my granddaughter?
I’ll bet you can figure out how to email me… -Rod-
Max– Taz tweeked and baby hippo Tomasa-
these two dogs are so cool together-
And email the time which is cool to send you my present– plzz- it is your gift———
Max–
why have you been in hiding?
Max–
Hippo sounded better than calling her a pig– but then pigs are cute too!
So Taz is tweaker and Tomasa is the Hippo?
Susan: i thought you meant an actual hippo, i love hippos, they are cute but deadly!
Hope your dog recovers fully
Remember the story about Taz– I emailed you– I told you how I had Taz here who ran into the glass door? that guy
Max– you saw the picture of Taz– I emailed it to you–
Let me tomorrow find more pictures– and I will email these to you—
I will take a picture of Tomasa tomorrow when she stands up- if she can– she is a baby hippo in a lion’s color– what a freak thing this is–
Max—
hi hon–
you know– Fat Tomasa- you have seen a picture of her? the one who was wheezing? I talked to you about it in our emails? Well, I found some of her Keflex, antibiotics, and gave it to her, short of a vet expense- and the Keflex is working– the prednisone, steroid, forget that– what is with this vet? She had an upper respiratory infection and he put her on prednisone?
Her wheezing is almost gone– but maybe dusting the dust here might have helped–
signed,
Susan– who dusts once a year
Susan: trying to get around a baby hippo and a dog who acts like a tweeker!
You have a baby hippo!?? I must see it!
Meaning Adam used equanimity at the airport today-
*********************EQUANIMITY********************************
Adam’s statement– So long as we land safely, our luggage makes it and our rental car hasn’t been given away, I’ll be happy. —- (equanimity)
________________________________________________________________________
this is the definition of EQUANIMITY—- it means composure– being able to handle a stressful situation with composure—-
I learned this word when I had to deal with people as a waitress– so I had this word on my tray before I went out and served the public–
true story!
Adam did this–
Hey Rod–
I am checking out tonight– I hope you visit Rainbow Bridge— it has music–
I copied your link for Ginger– and I went over to my email side– and sent it out to a few of my friends who own cats– you are going to be in Panama City, Panama, tonight-
And remember- don’t taunt Alicia, Ginger, and the third one– you might have to have them type for you tomorrow because you got chewed up–

___________________________________________________________________
Cee Cee- I think his schedule got all screwed up at the airport– two hours of delay when the head goes- I have to be here at this time– they stood in line and then waited because of a delay-
No telling if he is in the mud right now—– wearing the attire from his blue bag-
_______________________________________________________________________________-
good night all—– xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Well now, I think I took a left turn while you were still sitting & sitting & sitting. Read too quickly sounding as though you were enroute having to bypass Reno continuing to Portland. All this time you were in a holding pattern in the terminal?? Not fun, but this may have turned out to be a good thing!! Home to sleep and tomorrow’s a new day.
I’ve got to feed the cats and then feed me. I’ll be back at midnight! That’s 2hrs 50 minutes… -Rod-
Just ask Avi– about how to get by– I have learned two good words I can freely use here on Adam’s blog–and get away with it—-
— nothing like knowing the best word in another language but not doing with English— I am a potty mouth— 24/7
http://www.indigo.org/rainbowbridge_ver2.html
That was Alicia watching Ginger, BTW…(I sure wish we could edit our posts. Oh well.)
Susan, go right ahead and copy the link for Ginger. That video’s a hoot!
Did you see this post:?
That’s a nice slideshow!
BTW, if you look through my videos on youtube, you will find one there with my granddaughter in it. -Rod-
I see that the victims of the tiger attack are refusing to allow police to examine their cellphones for evidence. Why do I think they’ll find photos of those kids in places that they were not supposed to be? -Rod-
Rod–
I have Rainbow with animation and music– let me go find it in my emails– you will like this version better–
see you in a few—
Rod–
you don’t mind if I copy your link with Ginger in heat and move it over to my email friends who are cat people? this is so funny– go over to Greta’s and post it with- Ginger in heat–
She would laugh so hard— if she sees it- Maybe not right now– given everything she is covering–
Jen and all check out Ginger in heat— this is a hoot– who was the kitty which just walked around her? I had a kitty who howled like the moon when she was in heat– I fixed that- I fixed her– I didn’t want her outside- the tortoise- I told you about- Her name was Kitty–
Yes, I do know about the Rainbow Bridge. I can’t read it without choking up. -Rod-
That’s a nice slideshow!
BTW, if you look through my videos on youtube, you will find one there with my granddaughter in it. -Rod-
Rod–
You just broke my heart– your captions— Rainbow Bridge– you do know about Rainbow Bridge?
I am sending you another slide show– I had to kiss Adam after I insulted him– so I will be back-
Here’s some happy news (NOT!)
Ginger’s in heat again! Here’s some video I took of her last year in the same state. I won’t be getting a lot of sleep for the next few days…
Rod–
here is one– I dedicated this to Adam and his bloggers, after Tatiana and Carlos died– Adam did such an incredible job on this, I went to the zoo to honor these tragedies– and do you think I got a thank you from Adam– nope- he was so angry with me because I taunted him–

K Susan.
Try turning these into real links. It seems that the blog just blocks some links:
This is Eestha. She was my first cat. I got her in 1982:
http://www.usapatriotsamerica.com/eesh.htm
This is Smokey. He died at age 19:
http://www.usapatriotsamerica.com/photos/smokey.htm
Rod–
I am going to look for the slide show of some of me and friends-
be right back
Karen–
I checked out your link– Most Evil I watch all the time- and I saw the segment on Charlie and his Angels– not the one which was on 12/31– dang it–
I think Vincent Bugliosi is a great writer along with his lawyering he did– He reminds me of Joseph Wambaugh– the ex-cop–
Well if Squeaky is out– if she wants to get into the killing mode to have a cause– she should check out Hugo, Castro, and Iran—-
_____________________________________________________________
Rod– if you can’t post a picture of your daughter, I will bet she is much better looking than bratty Britney
Here’s Smokey…he died at 19:

And Eeshta. She was 16 and my first cat:

The law needs to catch up and be tougher on people that abuse pets. It’s just inexcusable and not at all like busting up a toaster
Here’s a couple more of Ali:

Darn it. The blogger isn’t letting me post more links to the cats…
Pics of the kids, no, sorry. My own daughter would hack me up!

Michael… it was probably about an 8 hour drive. Adam has the worse luck when traveling.
I’m upping the ante… 20 bucks says Adam doesn’t make it on time for the live shot.

oops– she can take her floozy ….
Rod–
Do not compare your daughter (a rose) to Britney (a thorn)– Your daughter was unselfish when she cried– not Britney— and there is no argument under the sun who is going to change my attitude about this brat– and she take her floozy, air head friend with her– Paris-
Any pictures of your daughters and others?
Rob… you’re absolutely right. But still no sympathy for her. She’s a spoiled brat who lost her kids. You just don’t do things to allow that to happen. She’s not above the law.
They won’t let him out… maybe Leslie or Pat Krenwinkle but not Charlie. He said many times himself that he doesn’t want to be out. He couldn’t survive in the outside world. He would need to get a job to survive. Can you imagine! McDonalds might hire him though. That’s one company that doesn’t do effiecient background checks.
Taz is a chow mixed with golden retriever– he is so pretty– he is beautiful– and young- and way too hyper— he jumps up into the air about six feet– it is so funny!
Tomasa- baby hippo- very old- very— she is a mix from who knows what– she has german in her– and she is very protective– she loves nice people– she senses them–I know– she was abused as a pup– dad saved her– she is from Mexico– Guanajuato– dogs don’t get treated too well in Mexico– no thing as spading or neutering– With Tomasa, all you have to do is put your hand out and she smells it and from there she knows who is nice– I know– I have observed her–
we can learn a lot by animals— I like Alicia–your kitty- she is cool– don’t think I didn’t laugh when I saw blubber in the garbage bag– and I don’t even scold her– she is too old–
Back to Spears for a sec…
Back in 2003 my oldest daughter had a daughter of her own, which made me feel awfully old. In the hospital the two of them looked to be the most beautiful people I’d ever seen. The night they got home, I walked into her room, the lights were out except for a thing hanging over the crib, and S was sitting in the corner in the dark, on her bed, crying very softly. She’d realized the enormity of what she’d done and was simply afraid. My wife and I realized that even though S was 21, she was still very much a little girl and that our jobs as parents weren’t done at all.
That’s how I see Spears. We know what she is…the key to getting her fixed is in getting to the why’s and getting her to correct them. She still needs some parenting, some truth spoken to her, and some growing up to do. -Rod-
Susan.. in response to your response about Squeaky getting out of jail on New Years eve… here’s an interesting link
http://www.mansonfamilytoday.info/manson.htm
That has got to be a bummer! Could you have driven there in that amount of time? Fox needs to get you a roaming RV.
Rod–
u are too nice– way too nice– I have more empathy for the jack rabbits here who were displaced and running around our block looking for a home than I do for the brat –I had a jack rabbit with me for awhile– he/she is gone-
_____________________________________________________________________________
Karen– I was in the question mark thread- your comment on the 01-03– Squeaky is released?
As long as they don’t release Charlie————————–
eeerrr Adam.. where are you now?
10 bucks says Adam doesn’t make it on time for 2:30am live shot.
Alicia does the same as your Taz. While I sleep she tips the trash can over and pulls any cat food cans out. She likes the little bits dried food that’s leftover in the can! The girls have a bowl of dry food 24/7 and she does it anyway. Sheesh.
You’re right. After the fires come the floods. I’m surprised that with all the rain we’ve gotten that there’s been virtually no reports of mudslides. Yet. It started raining again about an hour ago though it’s nothing like it was last night.
So what sort of dog is Taz? -Rod-
Rod–
trying to get around a baby hippo and a dog who acts like a tweeker!
I was putting all my garbage in one big lawn bag a couple hours ago, and I had the bag in the kitchen, as my point for dumping little wastepaper baskets into from the bathrooms, and I walked into the kitchen and baby hippo was inside the bag– looking for food!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She is so fat—- Taz– is so hyper— he runs circles– He is a dog which stays with me frequently-I found him a home as he was neglected to a friend of mine- so our deal is when he goes out of town, I watch Taz– and he is so hyper, he ran into my glass patio door the other night because he didn’t put his brakes on!
_______________________________________________________
i am listening to Greta— wow– Arnold is going to get tired calling all these State of Emergencies-
another domino effect? the fires played an effect on the holes left from the fire?
These guys talk so fast because they only have a few minutes to report it and I can’t even catch half of it— my mouth works fast but my mind just lags way behind–
Susan,
That’s my right arm and yes, I’m trying to type on my laptop, just barely succeeding. That’s a common theme here. I’m always ducking and weaving…I have to do to peer around this cat or that. I look under them, over them, around them. They don’t understand that I can’t look through them
-Rod-
