"applicants so often lost the documents"

I know it isn't the point of the article but that's passive as hell. Lost documents? You mean had all their stuff stolen? Or had all their stuff thrown into a dumpster by LAPD in one their raids on encampments?

Whoof, sky just went from "mostly morning" to "4 am" here, about to have another band of storms pass through. Guess it was okay I forgot to water the mini-garden out front yesterday.

Blurg. I've been up since 3 because I drank too much Lavender Gin last night. Headache, gurgly tummy. Bleh. I stayed up 'late' (for me) drinking gin and playing Blackjack on my computer. Paying for it now.

Herman Andaya, head of Maui Emergency Management Agency, has resigned amid heavy criticism for his refusal to use the siren system to alert Lahaina residents; he apparently thought for some reason it would send them charging into the fire in a blind stupid panic.

Meanwhile, 111 are dead and the toll is certain to keep rising, and it will take decades to fully rebuild.

Today . . . in HISTORY!

1590: A governor comes back from a supply run to find the place he runs deserted. DeSantis? No, it's John White coming back to discover that Roanoke Colony's abandoned.

1868: Pierre Janssen discovers helium. He loses credibility when he announces his discovery in a high-pitched squeaky voice.

1877: Astronomer Asaph Hall discovered Mars' moon Phobos.

1920: Suck it, assholes. Women have the vote now!

1958: ๐ฟ๐‘œ๐‘™๐‘–๐‘ก๐‘Ž by Vladimir Nabokov gets published. People named Humbert get the side-eye.

1963: James Meredith becomes the first Black man to graduate from the University of Mississippi.
