Letting your kids play in the street is never a good idea. Letting
your kids play with illegal fireworks isn't too bright, either. But
the combination can be deadly.
KTLA's top story this morning is a tragic one: in two separate

If you were caught in that quagmire on CA-152 today, you have my
condolences. The eastbound side was JAMMED SOLID between Casa de Fruta
and US-101 this afternoon. I haven't seen anything like it since my

California and a few other states have different maximum speed limits
for trucks than for other vehicles. (Which other states?)
