Good morning -- here's what's happening 10.14.08
Southern California is on fire, it seems. The two big fires in L.A. continue to burn, the Pendleton fire is growing, and a fire in San Bernardino has forced fresh evacuations. Hundreds of animals have been moved to safety, and parts of three freeways are now closed.
And yet there is other news:
Like stocks opening higher today as confidence about the various financial bailout plans seems to build.
Like the fact that the Dodgers lost last night.
Video footage of wretched conditions for laying hens is making a case for Prop. 2, the farm animal bill.
A bunch of Bob Hope memorabilia is going up for sale and expected to fetch $500k for veterans.
Universal Pictures is going to distribute DreamWorks films.
Say it ain't so -- naming rights to Dodger Stadium to be sold? (More on that one later.)
Fidel Castro -- blogger?
Gay museum to open in West Hollywood.
