I frequently pull over if someone wants to drive faster than me, and I appreciate it when they blink their lights at me. Also, if someone pulls over for me, I’m happy to blink my lights at them. It’s just a common courtesy!
Oh no not another Hillary! Flooded our goat barn, flooded the duck house, they loved that! Maybe put out my water inflated sand bags again. Now where the heck did I put them
It sure could! We have a flood watch in effect for Saturday night into Sunday, with the potential for 1-2 inches of rain. Possibly more... For the latest, always go to Bensweather! [Click Here]
Watchful Maybe the gardeners were racing to the house because they have electric blowers and wanted to get there before the valley had another power shutoff ? jk lol...
@CHP Arrowhead: The CHP Arrowhead Area would like to congratulate Officer Brown who was awarded Officer of the Year at the Inland Empire Blue Belles Breakfast and the Big Bear Elks Lodge this past month. Thank you for all of your hard work, dedication, and unwavering service to the community. [Click Here] October 9, 2026 at 10:07AM
GGMama, I agree! It is nice to have somebody appreciate your efforts.
God, I love this community!
Watchful, I have a neighbor who is a pretty intimidating looking guy and he doesn't hesitate to yell at the knuckleheads as they drive toooooo fast. Always seems to work.
So that was YOU Gorn! You're welcome, and thank YOU!
I really don't know why but it IS nice to see those flashers when you go to the effort to pull over for someone. Such a small thing to do to acknowledge another's efforts, and such a small way to let someone know you appreciate that effort.
I have tried to get a direct number out of the folks at the Spectrum store before, and they claim it's not possible.
Speaking of Lakeview Dr., though, it’s not the cars that bother me as much as the bikes, runners, and walkers traveling against the flow of traffic. I don’t need coffee in the morning after nearly committing vehicular homicide coming around one of those blind corners. 😂
