oh sh!t, my old neighborhood is on FIRE!!

wow, my old neighborhood is on fire! i wasn't keeping up with this whole california fire 'cuz i thought there was only one north of LA but i guess there are multiple fires now. my friend from Fullerton called me and she was telling me how her house is filling up with smoke last night.

so i did a little search on google and what do you know, my old neighborhood is on fire.

i went to Cal Poly Pomona (cal state sysytem university) so i lived in Diamond Bar for a year or so in a nice house with bunch of friends. (red star with 1 in it on the map) (click on the map to enlarge) the red zone is on fire and blue zone is mandatory evacuation zone.

see the red star with 2? that's where snoop dogg lives in a nice gated community. you know that one song of him saying "living on the house over looking chino..." he wrote that right after he moved to this location. ha ha

so it looks like lot of places we used to hangout or drive thru are gone!! i'm really sad about this one biker bar in the canyon we used to hangout at. we used to go see bands play there and had many drunken nights hanging out with my friends.

i remember one time this huge biker guy was about to beat the shit out of a punk guy. i jumped in and tried to stop the whole thing. i grabbed the biker guys arm as he was ready to swing. his arm was huge! as wide as my waist! the guy was punching the punk guy while i was danggling on the biker's arm... ha ha

someone had to spray some mase all over that place to stop that one. since i was on the guys arm, i got sprayed pretty good.

aaahhh.... some good old memories! i'm assuming that place is gone now 'cuz it right in the middle of the red fire zone...

i hope everyone's ok over there.
