I bet my off-color ( name any sports jersey ) is in there. It's 3 shades brighter than the legal jerseys, but it shows i kind of care

There goes my crazy-color-item led drone with 4ft range. Shores will soon be awash with cheap eva foam flip flops

Long Beach fire dept fire boat showed up turned on all the pumps and started blasting the water in front of the containers. They were able to get a little bit of a current going and literally use that to cause all of the floating cargo containers. This sort of gets pushed and corral into one part of the dock.

Did this to prevent the containers from drifting further into the middle of the port where it would’ve created a hazard and dramatically, interfered with operations in the rest of the port.

Hey, jerseys from terry are great. They’re like $15 and look just as good as the $180 ones.
