It's Back!  The Future!   "That's certainly been the case with many of the gadgets envisioned in the classic 1989 film 'Back to the Future II.'   In the film . . . Christopher Lloyd as Doc Emmett Brown,"  and Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly travel in time to Oct. 21, 2015.   Yes, tomorrow!   And Marty and Doc found flat-screen TV's, tablets (used for signing Save The Clock Tower petitions), video calling (Skype?), fingerprint recognition, hoverboards, and more!   story       --Nailed it, Spielberg.

PILOT ERROR

"Maya Donnelly awoke to what sounded like thunder in the early morning hours, but dismissed it as a typical monsoon storm and went back to sleep."   Later she found the about 26 pound package (probably from a smuggler's plane) of marijuana that had fallen from the sky and through the carport of her house.    (I hate it when that happens.)   news                




Principle in the type:  "It is in the home that we form our attitudes, our deeply held beliefs. It is in the home that hope is fostered or destroyed. Our homes are to be more than sanctuaries, they should also be places ... where the storm stops at the door, where love reigns and peace dwells.”                 Thomas S. Monson

Throwing residents enrolled in health plans through Covered California a bone, "a bill that requires health care insurers to update their provider directories with accurate information has been signed by Gov. Jerry Brown and will take effect in July [2106]."   news         Got that?  This is akin to needing a law that "1" come before "2."
