Southern California Edison put on a demonstration at their Monrovia offices Tuesday showing what happens when Mylar balloons--like those bought for loved ones on Valentine's Day--fly directly into power lines.
Valentine's Video: See What Happens When a Mylar Balloon Hits a Power Line
Mylar balloons bought for holidays like Valentine's Day can cause power outages if they come into contact with power lines. See what happens when the two meet and watch the sparks fly.

SGT, AND SAM,
What is the common thread to all the scandals coming to light?
We are beginning to…Read More unravel the vast conspiracy of Obama's "election".
The tea party scared the hell out of some people. They were completely maligned, and undermined by the left, with the help of main stream media. These groups and others like them, were held backed and systemically hindered.
As this story is unfolding many in the media angle the story as one of how the Republicans are reacting.......and not reporting on all the illegal activity.
I have never in my entire life felt such a contempt for an administration.
The Tea Party, who's platform is simply "Taxed Enough Already," is rising again because of all of this.
And like I have said:
I AM MAD AS HELL. AND I AM NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!
What did you expect from one who started off his political career with a kick-off party from an unrepentant terrorist!!
I will not sit and take this anymore.
We must fight back this collective, socialist, partisan who is the most NON-transparent evil I have seen in the Oval Office.
But don't get me started.......

Remember he's a part of the Obama Administration where no one knows anything, about everything.…Read More He'll most likely get a promotion as Obama rewards his non truth telling, mistake making staff.

When is Holder going to bring indictments against the Wall Street CRIMINALS who caused the…Read More financial crisis of 2008?
His opinion is that they are too big to prosecute.

What a great question to pose, but unfortunately I can't come up with an answer, as to why they…Read More would lighten the font.

Buzlightyear, doesn't "I don't know" bring back the Democrats response to any situation…Read More that they feel, might be a tad uncomfortable? Holder, what a specimen he is, and to hold the title of "Americas Top Cop." Holder needs to change his attitude, or he could be the reason for Obama's impeachment.

OH! the blog won't let links, link-up. Well in 3 minutes you can google, and find all of this.

Joan, let me presume you generally understand how the government works, what it can, and can't do,…Read More and what freedom of the press really means.
If so, theoretically, would you agree that if my post, is correct, would be very disturbing?
Would you also agree that because of political leanings, most of the main stream media ignores, and/or twists the events I described to alter public opinion, and minimize it's impact?
All of the statements in my original post are factual, out there in the public, in print, on T.V., and the internet.

Why was my comment deleted. I saw it go up and then it came down. Are comments being censored here…Read More now? What I said was where I agree people who worked and volunteered last Saturday should not be attacked but thanked for their efforts, the city council and members of city government know the history of this parade and that their conduct was shameful in allowing it to slip to the wayside and not attacking the issuing early enough to assure it would continue. It would be nice to hear Tom Adams or home town grown Larry Spicer speak to this issue.

Yep, B Ulm....
I was there all day. People were working really hard from early a.m. to clean up…Read More time. I noticed plenty of smiles and laughter, some quick no-nonsense problem solving, and some really rather creative ways to tackle the project at hand. It was smaller scale, there was no carnival (Did the Tilt a Whirl with dried puke REALLY mean that much to you folks?!)
Look, the pancakes tasty, kids cute, dunk booth busy. These people did their best, and this is coming from me, an admitted Mr.grumpy pants.
Danielle, since you seem keen on helping out per your post, and would volunteer if you knew where to go to do so, please sign up to be the dunkee next year. We'd love to have ya...I might be old but I have one helluva fast ball.

Wow - what an insulting, non-constructive post. You live in a city whose citizens banded together to…Read More tax themselves to save it Foothill wilderness, raised funds to renovate its schools and to build a state of the art library. The fact that one one single event in the year didn't go the way you wanted made you ashamed to be a Monrovian suggests you need to seriously rethink your priorities in life. As the first response said, quit complaining and get involved. Its not very hard in this city to find out how to volunteer if you had given it a slight effort. And the volunteer groups like the one that put the event together are starving for help since tearing people down is a lot more popular these days than putting in hard work. You are the one who should be ashamed.

Some of the stuff at the celebration was cool.
I think next year the city council should be the dunkees for the dunk booth.
