Hi Boots,
St Joseph's Catholic Church has food daily I believe. The food is in the church hall on Tuesdays between 9-11 am. I don't know if there's any other time, but if you call they can tell you. Perhaps other churches have a pantry too?

It does seem to be quiet down now. I think you’re right about military because they sound so big My Grandson is a Marine and flies in the helicopters and they had a training exercise over Big Bear a couple years ago so that could be it. Thanks everyone and have a good night.

Yeah, there are two really big and wild helicopters that just keep going all over the lake. Maybe they’re training? Glad to hear there are no fires. Thanks.

I'm not excited for any delays, but man, they have needed to repair 38/Lugonia right there for so long. It'd be especially dangerous to someone not expecting it on a motorcycle. Happy to see that being fixed up.

Just teasin ya Van, that one's very common! That sounds sooo nice after all the heat we've experienced! Hopefully more to come. Looks like a slightly less active day tomorrow, then ramping back up over the weekend into next week! -Ben
