the situation outside of fire season is not great as well. insurance companies have been leaving california or refusing to insure those who live in high fire risk areas. and who decides what is a fire risk? the insurance companies. we were not renewed last july and scrambled to find one. our new insurer is triple the cost of what we were previously paying. and unfortunately if you are paying a mortgage you absolutely need insurance. families are either losing their homes to fire or losing their homes to lenders after not being able to find insurance

It's really a heartbreaking situation. Probably what will be worse is what's found later on.

We’re off to LA for a couple of weeks on Monday. Any recommendations of places to go (clothing relevant or otherwise). Mrs NickD is especially fond of thrift stores.

@NickD I would check out some flea markets. Rose bowl, melrose trading post, and long beach are all good fleas. Mister Freedom is a great visit to check out the shop. Since you're there for a couple weeks i'm not sure if you'll be leaving LA but Ventura has some really great thrift stores. Ojai is not far from Ventura which is a great place to spend a day. A small scenic town with great food and small shops.

@marco23d I think Preview Only is being able to get in during venue setup in the hopes of accessing rare items before the general public.
