I appreciate your efforts. If people see posts and comments they might stick around.
I agree with you. People should be able to discreetly check to make sure there's no emergency happening. Plus, if there was an emergency situation at the venue, that would really suck if no one had a phone to call for help.
Bleach and acid makes chlorine gas, so if you used an acidic floor cleaner or vinegar then go over that with bleach it's a bad time.
Bleach and ammonia makes chloramine gas, so you're right, that's also a possibility. (and why people shouldn't clean cat pee with bleach)
I would want to see someone like No Doubt or The Offspring back when they were little garage bands and finding their sound.
Oh, you know what? Robert Johnson. There's hardly any recordings and his music is phenomenal. It's a damned shame he joined the 27 Club.
I went to a Puscifer concert at the Greek last summer and the rule was no phones out or you get kicked out because it's distracting and takes away from living in the moment. They were very serious and a couple of people did get kicked out after doing it again when warned. During the last song they let us take out phones for pictures. It was great and I hope that concept gains traction.
It sounds like someone mixed bleach with an acid and accidentally made chlorine gas.

Santa Ana is already dense. Trying to find parking in areas of Santa Ana after 3pm can be a nightmare. It would be more helpful to focus on infrastructure and business development so the people who already live there can improve their lives.
Or, shoot, maybe one of the adjacent cities can build some new housing. Stanton has been going bananas building up Beach Blvd. What about Westminster or Garden Grove?
Some people also filter it or buy jugs of water when their apartment pipes are old and the water was questionable. I've been in older apartments in Los Angeles where the water smelled bad and/or was slightly discolored. That is definitely not the norm and isolated to the apartments, not the municipal water supply.
There are algae blooms in summer that affect the municipal water supply. It's treated before arriving at the tap and makes the water taste gross but it's still safe.
But yes, it's definitely national news when it's a regional water safety issue.
Poisoned marine mammals washing up on SoCal beaches
LOCAL NEWS Marine care centers in SoCal overwhelmed with sick sea lions, dolphins by: Josh DuBose, Chris Wolfe

Sickened sea animals are washing up along the coast of Southern California and experts are blaming an algal bloom for poisoning the marine mammals.
The Marine Mammal Care Center in San Pedro, which is the only rehabilitation center for these types of animals in Los Angeles County, is filled to capacity and the situation, according to experts, only appears to be getting worse.
While some of the thousands of sea lions and elephant seals at care centers across the Southland are healthy and ready to be returned to the wild, many others are not and require special care, medication and treatment.
“We’re seeing a really large algal bloom off the coast of California, specifically Central and Southern California,” John Warner, CEO of the Marine Mammal Care Center, told KTLA. “It is a toxic algal bloom that causes domoic acid within our sea lion and dolphin populations, especially.”
Marine mammals poisoned by domoic acid can be prone to seizures, aggression, vomiting and foaming at the mouth. Nursing mothers can lose their milk, and according to wildlife experts, the condition can be fatal.
Care centers up and down the Golden State are working to care for the marine animals, but many of the facilities have limited resources and space.
“It is a naturally occurring algae in the environment,” Warner explained. “It is becoming more intense and larger in scope because of warmer ocean temperatures. We have the hottest temperature on record for the ocean at the moment. That’s a contributing factor which is caused by human impact.”
If the sick animals are captured and treated early enough, there is a very high success rate for rehabilitation and recovery and, ultimately, being able to return them to the wild.
Beachgoers who may encounter a sick animal on the beach are advised to stay clear and contact authorities at animal care and control centers.

Are these in a location accessible to random people who want to illegally dump trash like old furniture, appliances or paint? If they are, I see the point of using this style rather than one big roll away but I still think they should have used the standard size bin not the minis.
Orange County condo residents forced to live without gas for weeks
Orange County condo residents forced to live without gas for weeks by: Vivian Chow, Chip Yost

For nearly a month, hundreds of residents living in a condominium complex in Orange have been forced to live without natural gas.
SoCalGas said it shut off gas access for the La Veta Monterey Condos on June 2 citing safety concerns after a gas leak was discovered on the premises. The complex houses 212 units with both owners and renters.
Because the leak was discovered on private property, utility officials said responsibility for repairs falls on the complex owners and the homeowners association.
Residents, meanwhile, are fed up with living without hot water or the ability to cook at home.
“We need this gas turned back on,” said resident Betty Talbert. “We are tired of the problems.”
A ton of caution tape can be seen throughout the complex grounds with ongoing underground construction work.
In a letter sent to residents from the homeowners association board president, upgrades to rectify the faulty gas lines were estimated to be costly and lengthy. Residents were told an immediate solution was being sought, but some said the wait time has been unacceptable and unbearable.
“I’m taking cold showers,” said Talbert. “As a matter of fact, three days after this happened, I got really sick with the flu. So with the flu for at least seven days, I was taking cold showers because I didn’t have any other way to do it.”
Some residents said not being able to cook at home has been tough on their finances.
“We’re a family of six and we have to eat,” said resident Nathan Medina. “So spending over $100 on McDonald’s or whatever food is outside, it’s just crazy.”
Medina’s family was forced to bring in a gas grill onto their balcony just to heat up a pot of water for a warm shower.
An estimated timeline to restore gas to units still remains unknown. Neighbors said the letter they received from the homeowners association appeared to discourage them from speaking about the matter to the media.
Some residents, however, told KTLA they wanted attention on the matter so the complex owners could be held accountable. Neighbors also expressed interest in what legal rights they may have.
Oh so he knows they're not a match? So, he knows. I don't think she needs to add that she knows about her mom's affair because even then that's speculation on who it is and they're already divorced. It would be different if they were still married. He's probably in denial and afraid his daughter won't want to be his daughter anymore even though that's silly.
Best thing she can do is say, "welp, even if we're not a match, you're still my dad and I love you. I'm not going anywhere."
Personal experience: my grandpa knows we took the test years ago and he hasn't taken it. Turns out our mom is a completely different ethnic background from him (she's half Italian instead of half Russian/Ashkenazi). He asks if we matched with our cousins and we change the subject. My definitely-not-Italian grandpa has a rose colored version of his dead wife in his head and we kids aren't going to take that away from him in his old age even though I'm sure he knows.
