Grain weevil moths? Check all your cererals and grains and flour products, beetles are less than 1/8 inch and brown, moths 3/8 inch and beige in color. Dispose of all cereal, oatmeal, flour, pancake mix, anything flour based. Put replacement product in screw top containers and keep them sealed...

Hey MToddy, I have noticed a bug that I have not seen before and they look like little moth's but skinny and maybe 3/8" long. I have a bug zapper in the yard that gets most of them. Is that what it looked like?
bullet McToddy on Thursday 07 August 2025 - 20:39:01
Walking out of Vons , I noticed a ton of flying bugs congregating around the lights (I'm sure a number of them are flying inside) -- are those mayflies? They weren't mosquitoes, but looked like winged silverfish.

@McToddy - Yes, they shifted a lot of aircraft over to the Canyon Fire. Most of the aircraft on the Canyon came from the Gifford Fire near Santa Maria. Its like a game of Whac-A-Mole.

As per usual the point has been missed. To clarify, no matter where you go in the San Bernardino range. Or any where else for that matter. Issues exist, of one kind or another. No one town is better than another, we are all mountain folk.
bullet RookieMtnGoat on Thursday 07 August 2025 - 11:38:56
Wow... I guess the fire updates are too boring and the little eagles have flown so now it's snarky time! Whoo hoo!

To set the record straight, however, the woman killed for the sign was in Cedar Glen (at least the flag and the shop were). And no pun intended with the "straight" comment.

Look at nws data on upper atmospheric temp and humidity conditions and see that contrails creation follow the data. but conspiracy theorists still insist that it is a secret govt program that universally 100% of fuel industry hourly employees would have to all be in on to keep it secret.

Occams razor.......

I remember in the 80's when big bear had a big meth population. glad thats mostly evaporated. Not happy about the covid airbnb influx that skyrocketed property values and rents, but plus side is it helped lower crime(so it seems).

Come on Walkermuggz, Running Springs has a Beautiful lake, active nightlife, a good choice in places to eat and great events for people who like to get outdoors. Oh wait, that’s us.
bullet Walkermuggz on Thursday 07 August 2025 - 06:54:16
Lmfao! Running springs has no crime. And the bears aren’t fishing. Absolutely hilarious. 👀 Bears are omnivores. They will find the easiest meal they can. And woman was killed in running springs for a FLAG!

Bear sighting on my street. In running springs. Going through all the trash. Fishing must not be that good in Deep Creek...
