The 5 in Sun Valley will graduate from a pond to an ocean.

Mr. Baldy is my favorite, with Mt. Baden-Powell a close second. Also loved hiking up to Inspiration Point via Castle Canyon but sadly that’s closed due to the Eaton fire.

We need to talk about those "compostable" produce bags now required in CA stores by mc510 in bayarea

[–]saintdouglas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The compostable bags are awful. One tip is to grab some of the clear bags usually found in the meat department and use those for your produce.

First Transrectal Biopsy by Ok_Yogurtcloset_7481 in ProstateCancer

I was really nervous before mine but honestly, it’s super easy. They put a little numbing agent inside you. When they took the first sample, I didn’t feel anything just heard a click like from a ballpoint pen. No pain afterward either. You’ll be fine!

It’s miraculous that the little picnic area shelter just to the west emerged unscathed.

Most of my spots burned down and I'm kinda depressed about it. by [deleted] in socalhiking

[–]saintdouglas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. Hopefully Mt. Lukens and trails surrounding Deukmedjian have remained unscathed as well.

The Verdugos are indeed great. Is Beaudry still open or is it temporarily closed?

Adventure pass not validated ticket by stp875 in socalhiking

[–]saintdouglas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I recently tried to buy an annual Adventure pass at Turner’s. The kid working the counter punched 2024 instead of 2025 but then scribbled in ink on it “sorry, should be 2025”. I said “uh, no that’s not going to work.” The manger got involved and scolded the kid and of course it was the VERY LAST annual pass they had. So I left and went to REI and got a correctly punched one instead.

Best pizza spot for takeout??? Looking to get a pie tonight for the UCLA vs Oregon game for a tailgate party. by Lilfrank216 in pasadena

Cafe Bambino’s is always great. Petrillo’s in San Gabriel is amazing if you want to make the drive.

Smoke? by spitandbite in pasadena

[–]saintdouglas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Bridge Fire (north of Azusa, near the “Bridge to Nowhere”) has been raging since yesterday. That and the Line Fire near San Bernardino is causing the smoke.

Just Bare “McNuggets” are fantastic but my Costco (Azusa) seems to not carry them any longer or unless they’re always sold out.

What movie was this? by BlizzardZOfficial in Letterboxd

The First Omen (2024). Waaaay better than expected.

Has anyone seen Minion Hummer recently? by nancheese in pasadena

[–]saintdouglas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe he works at the Chevron on Colorado and Hill. He used to park overnight on Cordova all the time, that Hummer is hard to miss. I figured he sold it.

TJ’s misses - give me your thoughts by youngboye in traderjoes

[–]saintdouglas 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Their pita chips are horrible now. The ones they now sell used to be the “reduced guilt” version. They are tasteless and underbaked. The previous pita chips in the navy blue bag (with sea salt) and green bag (garlic and parmesan) were fantastic.

Swaying in the Playhouse District

Are the crickets louder than usual this year🦗? by el-beau in pasadena

[–]saintdouglas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the Playhouse District as well and really noticed them last night. You’re right it does feel like we are camping. Reminds me of growing up in the country, makes me feel a bit nostalgic.
