It's all fun and games until you hit the sprinkler system

[prunesnprisms.livejournal.com]

I was just picking up glasses in the shopping mall at Lesley in Porter (yanno, where the Uno's used to be) when the fire alarm went off. I went outside (not that long since we evacuated a building for an earthquake, after all) to my car in the small garage at the back, to find  someone in a U-Haul trying desperately to back out of the low-height portion of the garage. They had hit the water main pipe that feeds the sprinkler system there. I might add also that the U-Haul was directly under a sign that said "7-foot clearance"

Welcome to September, y'all!

"Welcome to September, y'all!" Hahaha.....

Yeah, that and if you're in the market for a mattress, walk out your front door and turn your head in any direction..

That reminds me, I need to get photos of the couch we want to give away. >.>

With all the bedbugs around these days, I wouldn't touch an off-the-curb mattress with a ten-foot pole.

This! I just moved to LA and the whole city is pretty much infested with bed bugs. I wouldn't trust anything used now and that includes bed frames, chairs, couches, anything.

Yep. I will no longer take anything textile from the curb for this reason.

Wood furniture isn't safe, either. Bedbugs get into the cracks and can stay there for a long time.

I've been offered mattresses, couches, futons, boxsprings, even a piano!

I need a bookcase...anyone seen one lately? (I've already scored 2 dining room chairs and a lamp...)

I guess you win the pool ...

Now to wait for the corrugated metal on Storrow Drive that was a UHaul van! That's always fun.

That's not the Lesley shopping center, unless they just recently bought it. Lesley is in the old Sears building (Porter Exchange).

Hope you and your car didn't get too wet!
